- 2004 Honda VFR 800 Interceptor Stator/ Regulator Rectifier Hardwire? 7 hours ago, sammyt If I hardwire it, does it matter which yellow wires I connect from the stator side to the R/R side? No, doesn't matter.
- NEED HELP from one of you VFR wiring guru’s… PLEASE! 1 hour ago, LILjoeSCARGAP Hey grum i heard something the other day about the coils themselves needing their own dedicated ground and relying on the little hold down bolt that secures them to the valve cover for that. Is…
- NEED HELP from one of you VFR wiring guru’s… PLEASE! LILjoeSCARGAP, 10/20/2024 at 5:03 AM as for the fuel pump priming being solved I believe it was the engine stop switch because they were since I pulled it apart cleaned it. Everything’s been good. This doesn't fill me…
- NEED HELP from one of you VFR wiring guru’s… PLEASE! 10 hours ago, LILjoeSCARGAP Ok so redid the flow test and it’s now only flowing 3 oz so I guess next step is get a new pump and pray that my bike runs once it’s installed. Any recommendations on exactly what pump I…
- NEED HELP from one of you VFR wiring guru’s… PLEASE! 5 hours ago, LILjoeSCARGAP Failed the fuel pump flow test. 10 seconds results in 4 fl oz. Service manual calls for 5 fl oz. Wouldn’t think that would result in a no start condition tho… thoughts? And how about pump…

- Gotta Ride! 52 minutes ago, St. Stephen [image: IMG_0961.JPG] Terrible amount of oil leaking from your bike mate. Better get that checked ASAP. :laughing6-hehe: Lovely looking 1200.
- 5th gen Stator output If it doesn't have a replaceable fuse then it's an auto reset breaker. Strongly suggest replacing it with a normal weather resistant 30amp fuse. Something like attached photo available at any good auto spares shop. Is…
- 5th gen Stator output You're not mentioning the most important test and the most common mode of failure, it's the phase to Ground test. With the 3 phase stator lead unplugged from the R/R probe each phase wire with the other meter leaded…
- NEED HELP from one of you VFR wiring guru’s… PLEASE! 1 hour ago, LILjoeSCARGAP Oh and I should probably mention that my fuel pump prime is being intermittent but I can’t really narrow down if it’s the wiring connector that plugs into the starter relay or if it’s my engine…
- Fuel injection issue Check the 10P Gray connector feeding the injectors. Make sure both pins and sockets are clean with no corrosion evident (see attached Note the green corrosion). Make sure you measure a good solid 12v for the injectors…
- NEED HELP from one of you VFR wiring guru’s… PLEASE! 1. Recheck your Main Fuse B 30amp wiring. Assume your Fi light goes Out after every switch On after fuel prime? Assume you have no diagnostic code flashing with the Sidestand Down? 2. Verify you have a good solid 12v…
- Fuel pump relay not receiving voltage + no spark Clement357, 9/8/2024 at 11:59 AM Well, opened my ignition switch to find a lot of corrosion, cleaned all of with with electrical cleaner, tested the diode and it was faulty so I changed it, still doesn’t work.. anyone…
- Suddenly won't start! 15 hours ago, fabio222 I actually quite like that feature and wish the HISS light would flash for longer than 24 hours. Its a great deterrent to keep scumbags away from your bike - they see the flashing light and just…
- Suddenly won't start! 12 hours ago, Cogswell Just curious, every 6th gen I've seen (in the US) has a small, round block off to the left of the ODO trip reset button. Yours appears to have a plunger type of switch poking out. Pardon my…
- Suddenly won't start! 1. You have a Red ABS Warning Light, but you say you Don't have ABS?! So does this light normally go out above 10kph OR does it just stay On all the time annoying you? Has the ABS lens/legend been removed from the front…
- Indicator issue - relay? 0xBERNDOG, 9/8/2024 at 6:46 AM This part of the trace is so corroded that the connection is broken. It's a common ground for the indicator bulbs I've seen enough to justify remaking the PCB. At the very least I find it…
- 5th Gen Coolant Level Once flushed, filled and burped. You only need to top up via the reserve tank. Ride and check the reserve tank level, no need to even worry about overfilling the reserve tank it will either be drawn into the radiator or…
- Fuel pump relay not receiving voltage + no spark Another thing to check is if your Ignition Switch has the Pink security wire and the Zener diode. See Attached. The Pink wire sends 9v to the ECM to enable it. If the ECM sees 12v or 0v it will not enable = No Fuel…
- Fuel pump relay not receiving voltage + no spark Sorry! Anybody else want to have a go at sorting the above out?
- Fuel pump relay not receiving voltage + no spark 58 minutes ago, Clement357 Every fuses are fine So you've checked Main Fuse B 30amp? No sign of overheated burnt wiring of the fuse holder? No heat stress of the fuse itself? 59 minutes ago, Clement357 relay does do…
- Indicator issue - relay? 0xBERNDOG, 8/10/2024 at 5:26 AM 1) I actually replaced the flasher relay, although the part was used from Ebay (Mitsuba FR-3303) I think your second video tells a different story. I'm highly suspicious of the Trun Relay…
- Indicator issue - relay? What is the age and state of your battery? Make sure battery terminals are clean and tight. Measure your charging voltage at idle and 5000 rpm, should be around 13.5 to 14.5 volts.
- Indicator issue - relay? Grab yourself a piece of wire, firmly plant one end to the Battery Negative. Then with the other end see if you can poke that into the Green Ground wire at the turn Relay connector. If the relay and blinkers operate…
- It was too cheap! 42 minutes ago, Terry Realigned its path to satisfy Mr OCD from Sunbury Haha just as well, after all the good work you've done, no point in having a daggy hose upsetting its good looks! She's a beaut, glad its putting a…
- First questions. 4 hours ago, Presson What is your method for avoiding the orange peel effect? Reckon I might have an answer to that, with my only limited spray painting experience! Never spray paint in cold, moist conditions. Dry,…
- It was too cheap! Hi Terry. Hope you don't mind me being a PITA fuss pot. Just a small suggestion to get the looks just a little neater I tucked the Fuel Vent Hose just rearward of the head cover behind the frame and it sits there nicely…
- It was too cheap! Great stuff Terry, just confirming, is there no need to remove the TB's to replace the front CCT? I've only ever replaced a couple of easy rear ones.
- It was too cheap! Terry, 7/24/2024 at 7:21 PM Good suggestion about releasing the tension for storage Graham; can't do any harm, although they were supplied fully wound. Need to find time to get a WOF inspection, then I can get properly…
- It was too cheap! Great job Terry. The bike sounds perrrrrrrfect. Don't bother with the CCT'S your bike will tell you when it would like a newy. Suggest releasing the spring tension off the plunger, fully extended, a bit oil, then…

- Gear change issues 1 hour ago, Presson Honda specify 10w30 for emission reasons (and a very slight improvement in fuel economy as a consequence). I've been using 10w40 for several years now without any noticeable difference so I suggest…
- It was too cheap! Really looking nice Terry. The gold wheel and black forks look brand new, love the colour combination. You're not wasting any time getting some serious work done. Tyre valves - Had a new rear tyre fitted to my 6gen…
- Kill switch not stopping engine 3 hours ago, Nats Hi, so my bike “runs on” when it’s properly up to temperature, fan running, we’re talking about 106 degrees ish. Doesn’t do it when cold. If I switch off the ignition the engine does a few more…
- It was too cheap! 16 minutes ago, Terry Thanks Graeme. I bought as a bit of a project so I am not fussed if I have to tinker from time to time. Do I take it that you did the CCT re-tension on your 6G and it did not work? Or just not for…
- It was too cheap! Great looker for sure Terry. I'm sure the Candy Red with the silver wheels was for 2008, 2009 saw the same colour scheme but with the gold wheels, black frame and forks. My 2009 Sword Silver with gold wheels was a great…
- Something new to worry about. Look out Phil. Think they've detected a stolen Red VFR800F directly below!! :wheel: "Procurement has commenced for permanent POLAIR capability in Townsville. The helicopter has already assisted police to track stolen…

- Unsettling Throttle Behaviour 11 hours ago, lucwilride Hello @Grum, I just checked the stored FI Fault codes. It is throwing code 22 = Faulty no. 3/4 Oxygen Sensor, no codes other than that one. Any thoughts on whether or not that could lead to the…
