Odd electrical crackling sounds can be related to the vacuum solenoid for the airbox flapper valve. Not sure if this is what you hear, but can be...
The flapper valve opens a second inlet port to the airbox, triggered by the ECU at 5500rpm, and activated by vacuum line controlled by an electric...
I'm just CRUSHED Norm. Do you mean to say that bikes aren't an appreciating asset and that I've been throwing good money after bad.... (ssshhh,...
I'm really looking forward (vicariously) to this big ride Anne Marie. Best wishes for great weather and awesome experiences.
Lint you can prise up the dust seals (lever them up with a small sharp screwdriver, they're just pressed into the top of the leg) and slide those...
Yes F4i front calipers with EBC HH pads, and I joined the two original back brake lines together at an F4i rear master, using the double banjo...
Very hard to say from the pics, but the mirror mounts look about right to me. Guess you won't know until you try and fit it.

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...
Separate names with a comma.
