  3. VFR800 - the engine just dies on me at random intervals - is it electrically related? 21 Apr 2011 15:37 Hi Bartman I have a confession to make - I've been working away from home and last weekend I didn't have the chance for a tinker as I was digging up my driveway all weekend (the shame of it!)

  7. VFR800 - the engine just dies on me at random intervals - is it electrically related? 12 Apr 2011 15:10 Hi BaileyRock Thanks for your response. This is the first time I've had the problem - it seemed to be independant of speed (though always when I was riding - anything from 30mph to 60mph), state or rpm (4000rpm -…
  8. VFR800 - the engine just dies on me at random intervals - is it electrically related? 12 Apr 2011 12:00 Hi Veefer800Canuck Thanks for your post.
