All 29- What did you own before your 6th Gen? 1985 VF500F. Great starter bike
- MADE A DEAL FOR A NEW VFR 1200 This is so completely awesome Slammer. You completely deserve it.
- Local Hillbilly Ran Me OFF THE ROAD! You were doing well to get away with as little as you did. Glad you are okay.

- ABS : worth it ? I am glad that I have a great bike that houses my ABS brakes.
- How Necessary Is A Voltmeter? If you have ever experienced a battery enlarging and giving off a faint boiling whine due to too much voltage coming down the charging system, then a simple voltmeter would have saved the battery and a stranding in a…

- Tell Us Your Favorite Modifications. Heated grips followed by Sargent seat.
- Blind Corners This is not my intention to be condescending. However, this 'ditty' may apply: 'A superior pilot is one that uses his superior judgment to keep himself out of situations requiring his superior skill'
- The Inhumanity! Too bad about the low-side. Glad you came out of it generally ok.
- Is It The Stator?!?!?! I have had that multiple times. Mine was from the RR sending too much juice to the battery and litterally cooking it. There was a high pitched squeal coming from the battery when it was at its hottest. I could also get…
- Engine Temp [image: View Post]vfr_steve, on Mar 2 2009, 06:06 PM, said: Update: Rang a local Honda dealer up today... 1st off he didn't believe me!!! He said, the bike will warm up to 75c+ easily even if you're in Iceland and he…
- Recall, Is It A Fix? After the recall update was done, I decided to leave the monitor wire mod in and my voltage display hooked up too. I haven't yet trusted Honda wiring implicitly.
- This Year's "new Vfr" From Mcn Always hopefull, but as every other year, managing my expectations, yet again.
- Best Mods New seat and heated grips. On the electric side, a digital voltmeter display.
- Riot Grrrl, The Crash, The Story, The Pictures Thanks for sharing and writing up your story. Nothing has moved me as much as this has, in quite a long time.
- Vfr Sixth Gen Electrical Problem Poll R/R, 30 Amp fuse and blown fuse from license-plate light, causing panel and headlights to go dark.
- R.i.p. 10 Amp Signal Fuse My 03 6'th gen blew the fuse a few times, once when dark (Yikes). Turns out that it was some wires on the license plate light was causing the short. A couple of other folks here have had that same problem too, perhaps 3…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System Hooray!! Before the black monitoring wire mod - 15.23 V cruising and 15.6 with brights on After the black monitoring wire mod - 14.3 V and no change with brights I will run this way for several days to ensure my fan…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System I just returned from talking with a lead mechanic and we went over the wiring diagram and the proposed solutions and he completely agrees with the black monitor wire needing to go to the battery. As per tracing the…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System Talus: My RR is less than 3 riding hours old and it fried the 30 amp fuse. It was hot to the touch at what I thought was the tail end of my last RR but the new one just continued to bake the fuse. It was probably even…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System My info will be in bold Battery Disconnected: White/Black to Neg Batt Lead = Continuity (0.8 ohms) - mine - no continuity to neg post but yes when using frame Battery Connected - Key OFF: White/Black to Green =…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System talus BOBINOTTAWA Edit - after thinking about it, I concluded that the black/white wire in the RR must be an input to the RR as KKKen's was monitoring the voltage in the red/white wire and the RR part numbers haven't…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System So, I am confused. Assuming that the monitor wire is not attached to the red wire out of the R/R but goes up to the ignition etc, then is it still correct to do the mod by interrupting the old…
- New 08 Models I am hopefull, just managing my expectations. I will keep my 03 for the foreseeable anyway. However, it would be nice to see the VFR bloodline continue. There is a pretty even amount of speculation as to whether our…
- New Interceptor Finally Breaks Cover! What a potential pimpmobile!
- Spark Plug Wires Hi all, I have been trying really hard to find replacement wires with boots for my 1984 VF500 Interceptor. I cannot find any product that will specifically fit my bike. I have found plenty of universal wires, but its a…
- voltmeter readings 5th gen Just make sure your voltmeter was connected so that the illimination circuit only operates when the key is on. While the meter itself draws minimal current, the lights in the meter draw a bit more. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>…
- Speedometer not working It sounds like the fuse has blown. On my 2003, the specific fuse box is under the throttle. My fuse was shorting out due to a problem with a wire in the license plate light. It affected my running lights, headlight,…
