If only the lowbeam is affected then won't be the starter switch as that would affect both equally. So maybe the bulb connector or a wire...
Imitation would be the sincerest form of flattery: [IMG]
Could be both but there is a light interrupt when the starter button is pressed so corrosion in there would make the headlight intermittent....
Gee that's a new one, but I would say it sounds pretty plausible for the bank angle sensor to trip the ignition when you launch hard.
I should point out; that photo was taken in 1990 or thereabouts, I don't have a 1987 bike that looks that good now... But I still have many fond...
Buy yourself some stands from Torpedo7; I'm VERY happy with mine: [IMG]...
The centrestand should be the same as any 86 or 87 VFR700/750, if you can find it. In 88 Honda changed the exhaust routing so the stand is most...
Well done figuring that out. I was fairly sure the red should not be the ground, but the colour coding used really doesn't make a lot of sense...
I know it is never a good idea to draw conclusions around the frequency of faults and failures based on internet forums, but the wax unit fault...
That model of VFR is a surplus stock US-spec bike, imported and sold cheap (NZ$8600 IIRC) by Blue Wing Honda in 87 and 88, I know, I owned two of...
Fast blinking means you have connected the 5W running light filaments rather than the 21W blinkers to the bike's blinker circuit. The blink rate...
Maybe you've pushed a bit of crud back into the relief port in the master cylinder so the piston moves out but won't retract? Probably best to...
Yeah what he says. You will need to feel around with your screw driver and find the back of the adjusting screws. The left hole does vertical, the...
Nice rescue project! I do like the look of the 1990 VFR. Good luck with it.
There is another common ground junction where 10 green wires get joined together, I know it is orange and on the rear subframe on the 5th gen, but...
Well the good news is you can rule out valve clearance or cam timing as a cause of the issue. I did much the same thing with my ST1100, because...
I have heard (but have no personal experience of) that carb gaskets tend to shrink when there's no fuel around, and magically swell back up and...
Man, I thought you Canadians were made of stronger stuff than that Jeff. I have all my service manuals in pdf form so I can read them whilst...
Took me a while to figure out what NVM meant (cause I'm neither hip, nor down with the kids). Looked it up here:...
Sorry, dumb 5th gen owner's question, but which valves are the VTEC ones? I looked very quickly at the manual and VTEC valves are I think the...
Separate names with a comma.
