All 34- Installed My Nuvi 350 On The Bike Very nice... I borrowed a Nuvi one time, and since I did not have any RAM mounts or anything that would hold, I suctioned it directly to my tachometer since I know my bike after years of owning to know exactly what RPM…
- Bent Rear Brake Pedal [image: View Post]jeremy556, on Jul 17 2008, 02:05 PM, said: I have straightened mine with vice grips while on the bike. It would probably work better to remove it, put it in a vice, and heat it up a bit with a torch.…
- Im Gonna Kill My Son [image: View Post]vfrqqq, on Jun 24 2008, 11:33 PM, said: I'm sorry, but I would venture to guess that most people are aware that their VFR has a centerstand, which ultimately makes Stegen look dim witted. How many…
- Im Gonna Kill My Son I have this crazy feeling that Stegen used this site as a bit of a vent for his loss of a beauty of a machine. Although a total of 22 posts on the forum doesn't validate much, his last phrase of "Freaking Kids" was…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added That's weird. The relay should click in order for the pump to work... unless its contacts are weld shut from heavy arcing. You have bypassed the sensor (terminals 1 and 3), not the relay itself, right? Does the pump…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Hmmm.. Now, since it will probably take service honda at least 5-7 days to get a BAS to me, IF they have it in stock, and knowing it will cost $61 +shipping, my question arises: To Buy a new one or to short across the…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Yeeeehaw.. ok ok.. so the fuel pump has primed.. but how??? No clicking of any engine stop relay.... But rather, the initial testing showed the correct answer.... The Bank Angle sensor... !#!#$% it... thats $61.00 for a…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Hah!! Apparently it is a Newcastle night... hehe
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added ok.. sounds good.. I will not be able ot run out to the garage for another 20 minutes.. but i will definitely do that on priority.. that will help me a WHOLE lot in diagnosis.. Thanks again *Citizen*.... Will let you…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Well heck.. showing voltage b/t 1 and 3 would be the same as shorting right? that is, normal batt. voltage...
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added I guess not knowing that, I was trying to find some way to test the transistor inside the BAS.. very nice....
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Ahhhhhhhh!!! bypass bank angle with 1 and 3.. didnt see that.. was thinking 1 and 2... hmmm .. hafta try that.. lemme go back over that last post Cit. ... PS.. thanks for the knowledge.. you are definitely helping..
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added That rules out engine stop relay and fuel pump. Fuel cut relay or ECM may still be bad (they are both bypassed in the above test). Hmmm.. maybe I am confusing myself, but if I short the Engine stop relay, then due to…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Hmmmm... maybe I should check my engine stop switch again... but, that does does not explain the voltages I was reading on the bank angle sensor as per the Honda manual.... hmm...
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Reposting my reply in this thread (since the other one will probably be pruned). Here is how I would troubleshoot this situation. Test number one. Pull out the fuel cut relay. Measure the voltage between ground and…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Ok... little looking over revealed nothing new... All connectors seem to be in place. Vacuum hoses seem perfectly matched.. It starts relatively easily.. One thing it did was the following: I had it idling for a decent…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Welcome back buddy! Looks like you got some nice garage space! Electrics are my weakest point(soon to change, always learning!), so I can't offer much help other than to say that I have a bunch of bank angle sensors…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!! Love that one Veefer!!! !#$@!$% I should have seen that right away.. I am gonna go outside and yell at my relay until it says YES on the front!! hehe... PS.. that is a terrible pic of the wheel paint…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Will do Dan.... I KNOW I reconnected the throttle body connector.. However, I think I may have failed to mention that after shorting across the engine stop relay, I can power my fuel pump and crank the bike. It DOES…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Woohoo!! Thansk Dan!! PAIR block off plates on the way!! Another sumpin' for Katsumoto.. my 5th gen... :thumbsup: FOr all you electricians out there, if there is some good way to test the BAS, that would be great!! The…
- Bank Angle Sensor Question-- Pics Added Whew.... What an interesting couple of weeks it has been. I have been digging into the books and working full time, leaving me with no time at all update myself on current VFRd happenings. I see I have missed many cool…
- voltmeter readings 5th gen The idea is easy.. Imagine the light switch in your kitchen.. the light is ONLY on when you "engage" the switch.... Same idea as the voltmeter...any switched relay (ie:license plate light) ONLY turns on, or receives…
- voltmeter readings 5th gen I know I have read articles and/or posts on electrical problems of the VFR so many times I think I am going to send off to Honda to establish myself on their R&D payroll... Otherwise, Teleskier, just curious, although I…
- Shift Light Install How-To Trace, on Dec 20 2005, 06:45 AM, said: And to address the other commentary about the merits of a shift light... .................. Anyway, I like it.? I like making high-speed, top end, full acceleration blasts.? I live…
- Shift Light Install How-To Quote Ahhh, gimme a hug! LMAO.... needed a bit of a laugh t'night!! hehe... On a different note, I'll give you a hug if you pass me one of those beers.... :beer:
- Shift Light Install How-To theoxmole, on Dec 19 2005, 06:06 AM, said: Isn't it the newer GSXRs that come with the shift light ?? If you wanted a shift light, that would be the way for you to go.? :goofy: Hence my point on the whole GSXR quote...…
- Shift Light Install How-To Quote Something people have overlooked is that you don't necessarily have to set the shift light for maximum revs - you could set it for the revs where maximum HP occurs, where max torque is, or even just where you…
- Shift Light Install How-To Very interesting.. thanks Flailer... It looks like for my own confidence, I will need to see a red and green side by side...not these shift lights, but something a bit different just to validate the color effects in my…
- Shift Light Install How-To If you own/ride any motorcycle or manual geared mode of transportation, you accoringly shift via engine sound and/or feel. Common sense?? Sure... BUt.... What if you are on your motorcycle, rather than automobile for…
- Shift Light Install How-To ok....Congrats on the good links :beer: ..The second via Nasa info particularly renewed my knowledge on particular wavelength values and reminded me of my Physics days back in college (not that long ago AT…
- Shift Light Install How-To How about one more favor Trace..hehe.. Any way you can post a close up of the mounting you did with "less robust" bracket and the screw mount on to the bezel.... Would be great!! Not only to know where you mounted, but…
- Shift Light Install How-To On a different note Trace, gotta couple questions... 1. I do own the 5th gen red, and am debating LED colors... Yellow is a great almost stereotypical shift light, even with the hot rods... What I would like to know is…
- Shift Light Install How-To Very cool!! Check'n out there sight right now... That yellow looks good, even for it being installed on a red bike too....Although, it will definitely slow the red bike down a bit.... Hmmm.... Maybe I can label the…
- Blue Gauges For Less Wow..I'm impressed...You have definitely gotten my attention. It seems you have done a bit of research on the modification... I have a 5th gen '99... I assume the same LEDs will work on my board... :huh: I have never…
