All 16- 5th gen Stator output Update: Yes, I’ve done all the above tests, and the fault was low AC voltage output so as Grumm mentioned this would be 2 phases shorted together. This failure is not documented in the manual, and my 2nd stator which…
- 5th gen Stator output Ok, Thanks, I will get the fuse. R/R is Shindengen FH020AA.
- 5th gen Stator output All phases are open circuit to ground. Meter set to 2 million ohms. The R/R contacts are not burnt nor splayed. R/R output wire: I think this is a fuse, not a breaker, but I really don’t know. It came with Roadster…
- 5th gen Stator output 10V when connected to the R&R. I browsed here a little and it seems the incandescent light bulb test is correct only when disconnected from the R&R, and that voltage should be about 65 V. When I disconnect the R&R, my…
- 5th gen Stator output Hi VFR guys and gals, I'm having charging problems. I think my stator is the problem. It is 12 years of age and has at least 40k miles on it. I know that engine heat causes stator failures. Per the factory manual, there…
- Is my 24 year old starter motor due for a rebuild or replacement? Don't have a sticky starter button, but I get it, don't need a picture, and I like it, clever. I will say a few more starts seemed better. But this has but on a brief hold as I've identified an oil leak and am now…
- Is my 24 year old starter motor due for a rebuild or replacement? Hi, My 5th gen is having difficulty starting. I’m very confident the battery and charging system are fine. The battery is newish, and holding a charge, and charging system is delivering 14 V at 5000 rpm. Once the bike…
- Rear Wheel Stand for 5th Gen Ok, good to know. Thanks.
- Rear Wheel Stand for 5th Gen Yes, that looks like it will do it, but it's pricey. Thanks.
- Rear Wheel Stand for 5th Gen Hi All, I’m looking for a rear wheel stand recommendation for my 5th gen. I’ve had difficulty finding one on the web. Or if someone is interested in selling one.
- Looking for good ’98 – ’99 ECM Here is my 5th gen. Because of your help it is running well, two short but nice rides this weekend. Sargent seat, Givi top case, Heli bars, Zero Gravity windscreen, Race Tech front suspension and Penske rear shock. The…
- Looking for good ’98 – ’99 ECM The orange junction block seem to be the culprit. See pictures. As a quick fix I cut the connector and mashed all the wires together with a big wire nut, and the FI light has gone away, and the bike is running well. To…
- Looking for good ’98 – ’99 ECM Hi Grum, Cogswell, and RaYzerman, My ground connections were in good shape, as the bike is garage kept and rarely sees rain, but I removed the little bit of black crud with a brass bristle brush and 220 grit sandpaper…
- Looking for good ’98 – ’99 ECM Hi Grum, When my fuel injection issues started with my original ECM, I had one blink and 19 blinks when the service check connector is jumpered. 1 blink is a map sensor. The diagnostic procedure for the map sensor is on…
- Looking for good ’98 – ’99 ECM Hi I have a 98 5th gen. It no longer runs reliably because of fuel injection problems. Following the step by step diagnostic procedures in the factory service manual I have concluded it has a faulty ECM. Because new…
- Throttle Position Sensor - Vfr Running Very Rich Hello, My 5th gen 98 VFR is running very rich. It gets very poor mileage, about 18mpg. The bike is rideable, but not by much. Over the winter I was doing work on the bike, and I removed the throttle position sensor…
