Maybe the tipover switch on the front subframe is loose; that would also explain why you need to reset the ignition to get things started again....
My last VFR800 had a grabby takeoff after 95000km, even when it was warm. I put new EBC fibre discs in and the clutch feel and action were like a...
The grounding issue with the 5th gen VFR often occurs in the common ground block. This is a rectangular block approx 1.5cm square and is taped...
A-ha, I had not thought of that one. I was reasonably convinced my first ST1300 had some major mechanical malady like a blown head gasket as it...
You are not going to get oil pouring out from a badly installed spark plug, but the Captain is correct that a badly installed gasket on the cam...
Sort of sounds like an intake vacuum leak; if the MAP sensor on the back of the airbox gets unplugged (electrically or the vacuum hose is off) it...

If you go to the other VFR site, the manuals are available as free downloads......
When you have the fork apart, run a tap through the thread in the cartridge base to get all the old threadlock out. I make sure that the damper...
RTV = room temperature vulcanising; basically a silicone sealant. Like this:...
Looking at the parts fiche, the rear cylinder head cover is only sold as a complete assembly. Easiest would be using some liquid gasket sealant or...
That's a bit of an open-ended question but I will take a punt and give you my 5 cents worth. 1. Forks get stiffer in proportion to the square of...
Did Honda change the angle of the downdraft into the heads on the later bikes to make it steeper relative to the cylinder? That would make the...
The idle adjuster is accessed through the hole in the right frame spar, with a philips head screwdriver. Good luck with your project.

I've always wondered about that point. The hoses are made to withstand high hydraulic pressures and the constant flexing from suspension...
The VFR forks are indeed cartridge type. SS-8 is also a 10W oil and the reference I have states 39.7 cP viscosity at 40C. I believe the PJ-1 may...
