I could be wrong, but i believe ALL US-model '86 VFR700F/750 bikes had the front cam pulse generator, while the '87 F2 models eliminated it with...
U sure the proper wires are hooked to the appropriate sparkplugs?? It's not too hard to mix wires up on some bikes, either the low voltage coil...
If the clutch switch and associated wiring is OK, you might try replacing the diode that controls the starter interlock circuit.
Try to verify that the engine runs OK b4 spending on replacement tanks, etc.
This is a tough one..... First check that the fuel filler cap is venting properly. Next, are you using enough choke, not enough, or too much...
check for rust in the fuel tank. one common cause of a leaky float valve is rust flakes in the needle seating area, and small bits DO go right...
good move, Slo !!!! I'd be interested to read your compare-and-contrast discourse about gen 2 vs. gen 4.
What, like this ??

You might consider trying a 15 amp fuse in that circuit to cover the extra electrical demand of 4 flashing 23 watt bulbs. If there is no...
I believe the rule of thumb on 2 cans vs. one is that one can provides a bit more power in mid-range while 2 cans produce more power at top end.
If chain is too loose it may sometimes drag along the top of the swingarm, and if too tight can damage transmission output shaft bearing. Get...
I'd suggest tapping into one of the regulator's green (ground) wires and connecting that wire directly to the battery negative terminal,...
Dija check the resistance of the pulse generator coils ?? They might be OK when cool but fail when engine reaches operating temp. The part...
Weaving left-to-right in an s-shaped way is a classic symptom of headset bearings set too tight. A good shop would have test-ridden your bike...
I can turn around a set of carbs in less than 10-14 days and do a fair number of carb-cleanings for members on this forum and others. i...
Throw an old t-shirt into the tank to soak up the remaining fuel, easiest way to do it. I'd be hesitant to follow a.p.u.'s suggestion above cuz...
