All of this discussion brings up a question. Will the VF1000R black box interchange with a VF1100? Otherwise, could VF1100 Sabre black boxes...
Thanks for that information. And I agree that once you get used to the sound of the bike you know when you are pushing it too far. So I...
So whatI would like to know is.... Is the tachometer on the VF1000F and VF1000R only for displaying RPM? Or asked another way...What does the...
I used a 1984 VF1000F wiring harness WITH the 1985 VF1000R ignition unit (black box) and it works fine. You do have to re configure the wires. But...
"EPROM (erasable progammable read only memory) which gives the ignition unit advance curve parameters, rev limit etc." What does that mean...
So what you are saying SIDECAR is that the tachometer has nothing to do with limiting the revs, and is ONLY to display the rpms? Is that correct?...
I would just buy a aftermarket tach designed for V4 engines and forget about all this nonsense. If you really have to have a tach. Why have a...

I do not even have the tach hooked up on my bike at all. Yellow wire capped off. Will rev all you want. But....i have not tried to blow it up...
That is a good explanation of the rev limiter except when you say" "(revs)drops again to the "preprogrammed level". There is no "program" it is...
Let me help you. First lets take things off of the list that have nothing to do with the problem. The first SEVEN on the list are good things to...
The rev limiter is actuated by the TACHOMETER. It is the YELLOW wire going to the tach. VF1000R and VF1000F. If you remove the yellow wire from...
Very doubtful because it is all electronic. They almost NEVER fail. Just because you do not understand the "black box" does not mean it is evil.
Of coarse it will run better with a filter in it. It is in effect like a manual choke or if you put your hand over the intake. It will get more...
Check your grounds. Engine to battery - and battery to frame. If it does not have a ground from battery to frame - add one. Usually there is...
Use a 6 ga. wire if you can . The bigger the better. Stranded wire. The bolt in the engine is steel and the ground wire is copper. Make sure the...
All grounds should be ZERO resistance.
Just look at all the other brands on that list I posted. 99.999% are the same.
You almost NEVER need to replace float bowl gaskets (o rings). I worked as a dealer mechanic and we never replaced them unless they were leaking,...
It is hard to see the girl in the avatar with the gun barrel in my face! It completely changes the mood! LOL
