I took another look at that photo, and it looks like the screw from the carb boot band is making contact with the closing spring? Might pay to...
Are you really sure the throttles are closed? That 4th image looks like the butterfly is more open than I would expect for idle. AFAIK the only...
The clutch switch won't play any part in this, just the neutral or sidestand switches. The clutch switch only determines if the starter will fire...
If your bike is spewing coolant at 111, you need a new radiator cap. The cap is designed to hold 1.1 bar pressure and this increases the boiling...
On the bright side, at least your bike runs! Where are the throttle butterflies sitting with the twist grip closed? Are they all nearly 100%...
I agree; if the sidestand switch is OK then I would be looking at the wiring/plug.
Do we have to do the Hendon Shuffle if there is a Barnes Dance taking place? (Google it kids). I rarely ride in traffic, but if I am sitting at...
The first question would be where is the idle screw adjuster set? And are the throttle cables installed without enough slack?
This is an intriguing discussion. At the far end of the clutch pushrod is a radial ball bearing that allows the stationary pushrod to exert force...
Marke I think your connector is living proof of the terminal corrosion that Stoshmonster is talking about (I need one of those handy cleaner...
Absolutely correct! Out of interest I worked out that across my three bikes for the last 2 3/4 years when I bought my VFR I have averaged 48km...
I completed the refit of headers during the week once the parts arrived. Wasn't too bad of a job, needed some rubber hammer help for the rear...
I don't know why, but batteries that are at the end of their life will work fine cold but then won't have enough amps to start when hot. I would...
You're very welcome Phil; just paying it forward. Hope the rest of the trip is smooth sailing.
Nice place to celebrate a birthday. Let me know when you get to this one: [ATTACH]
The oil light is a pressure switch. Unless the engine is spinning reasonably quickly, there won't be much oil pressure so the light will be on....
[ATTACH] No idea where on the subframe this goes.
Mr Partzilla says grab rails are common across all years 03-09 in the US. They don't list '10 because the VFR wasn't sold new in that year in the...
Thanks for a really informative post!
When you restart the bike, do you allow the fuel pump to prime and stop before you hit the button? There should be a little residual fuel pressure...
