Running problems probably related to low voltage=failed charging system or f'd battery.
It's definitely a bad diode, so replace it and all the problems will go bye-bye. :witless:
Too many wires, hoses, bottles, pipes, boxes, cables hanging off to make a nice-looking VFR street fighter. Repair whacha got as well as possible...
#1157 isn't it ?
Might i suggest that you try tuning each idle mixture screw according to the directions in the FSM ?? A setting too rich or too lean on any one...
Thanks to Toe Cutter's generosity i have a few used spare parts for our '86/'87 carbs, and you and i may be able to work a deal. I'm slowly...
Inspect the rubber seal at the bottom of the fuel filler cap. With a bad, cracked, broken seal rainwater can get into the fuel tank in heavy rains.
Dija even think about the fork length differences and how much higher or lower the front end will sit ? :eek:
Basics you also need include an electrical multimeter, tire pressure gauge, tire air pump, battery charger. If you don't have "the feel" for...
If you want maximum engine life, get into the habit of pre-filling the filter element with as much as 2/3 quart of oil. Slight spillage as it...
A small amount of oil is normally blown into the airbox. Check for milky-looking oil or coolant. Often, a cracked head or blown headgasket...
It's NEVER a good idea to buy a bike in its first year of production !!!!!!!! By the second or third year alot of small and some large changes...
could be wrong, but i believe that every Honda has a rev limiter built into its black box circuitry. :smile:
Smoke ?? Do a hot compression test and expect to see between 170-180 psi if the engine is OK and doesn't have a bad head gasket.
USA bikes all have the headlight hi/low switch on the rider's left side. Some previous owner might have screwed around with your wiring.
Holes made you run too lean and you fixed that. No, i don't believe that front carbs sucked more air than rears unless the synch is way off.
If you look closely you'll see that the factory placed a punch mark on the shaft that's 'sposed to line up with the split on the lever.
I'm pretty sure the filters are the same across the line: VF/VFR, 1983-1997. :wink:
C'mon, Bunky, that work would take less than 2 hours, wunnit ?
Get a test ride b4 you hand over cash, listening for mysterious noises, tranny issues, worn out bits and feeling the weight. At that mileage alot...
