All 29- Switchgear - ergh Opened it up last night. Grease was dirty etc so took most of it apart. Cleaned out what was there and repacked with new dialectric grease. It's still not as responsive as I'd like but much better. I'll live with it til…
- Switchgear - ergh So my horn isn't working and now my indicators are either not kicking in at all or straight away for taking a few seconds. If I operate them ungloved and be precise about the movements then they seem fine. Time to open…
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues Yeah it was a real pain trying to decide if it was the RR or wiring once the rest had been ruled out. MOSFET may be better but I prefer a machine I know how to test. Went with a RR from a GSXR1000 on recommendation -…
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues RR has been replaced and all is good in the world. I've taken the time to put an inline fuse on the pos out and wire the pos and neg straight to battery. All thrumming nicely for now. I'll put some hard miles on her…
- Stilll electrics but need specifics to tweo things I stumbled across that ground block - I've ruled out ground issues for now I think.
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues Yes - the last post was me focusing on the stator at different temps and measuring the voltages at set rpm here and there to isolate why it isn't charging. Tests I was unable to complete so as to build a clearer picture…
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues So did these tests with new battery and bike hot Voltages etc no lights Idle = 12.7 assume 0.1 lost to voltmeter 3000 rpm = 12.8 5000 rpm = 12.9 But they do climb slowly then drop back depending on throttle With day…
- Stilll electrics but need specifics to tweo things Thank you for clarifying that. I appreciate my first post was very long so the bits that interrest me get lost in the info. New battery in had and retesting tonight - Will look for dodgy grounds near the headlights if…
- Stilll electrics but need specifics to tweo things Should I have a voltage reading from the stator wires to ground with the bike running - I'm getting 8/9v Where do I look for dodgy grounds - my problem is really only manifesting with main lights on. Sorry to start…
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues OK so Stator at idle is putting out approx16/17 on all three wires At 5k it puts out 50ish So I think that's ok?? With the stator connected to the RR I get 7s and 8s - how's that? Is that fine? Now with the bike idling…
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues Ah that's interesting then. I should focus on the stator for now then. Should be able to run her up tonight as battery has been on trickle charge all day. I should test the volts from the stator then as it's the only…
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues Shoul I have continuity from the yellow wires coming from the RR (not from the stator) to ground? I only have continuity on on of them which seems odd to me - Have checked with pos and neg reversed on multimeter.
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues This is my RR by the way http://www.electrexworld.co.uk/acatalog/RR53.html
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues I'm buying a battery before I take this further boys - will report back once it's in. Off to italy for a week though . . . . .
- Electrickery - ffs!! Battery charge issues 2000 vfr fi Non standard reg/rec - looks to be an aftermarket upgrade of sorts - will get the name in a bit Noticed HUD lights seemed dim and she had been cutting out from cold for a few days but thought not much of it…
- Check exhaust temp Sweet - cheers
- Check exhaust temp I can only see the two at the front - what's the best way to get somewhere I can point an infra red temp guage at the rears?
- Getting about 115 miles until the fuel guage flashes Interestingly since adding a Delkevic exhaust my mileage has increased. Still on the first tank since the refill but on 100 miles with 3 pips to go on the fuel gauge. Odd but can't complain. So to dlarify - what are…
- Getting about 115 miles until the fuel guage flashes I mostly use it for town riding and commuting and I'm by no means a hooligan. Steady throttle and brakes. Mostly second and third gear low revs Is this normal for a 2000 model? I'm reading people getting 180+ I make…
- What does this do? Cable into lower right engine case . . ah .. . duly noted
- What does this do? Cable into lower right engine case . . I'll seal it to be sure - cheers for that guys
- What does this do? Cable into lower right engine case . . Noticed this when having a sqizz at the underside yesterday - seems like it's frayed enough to be in danger of getting damaged. What is is and can I just cover it in sugru or should I replace? [image:…
- VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 I ride with lights on all the time anyway - every little helps on this rainy isle. Have haynes - will pop some plastics off this weekend and find a suitable point
- VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 Hi The pciture shows what appears to be a light in the middle of the cluster with its two wires severed - It has the two other lights lit at all the correct settings so I'm not worried - just wondering if this was…
- VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 what about the light it was connected to - It's not needed?
- VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 Not only is she a 99 it seems the previous owners went to all the trouble of putting a nice upgraded re/rec in there and have left a few power points where they tapped into the loom. Handy One thing does confuse me -…
- VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 Wow - loads of stuff there She's definitely a 99 then - must have been a late registration. Plenty of service history as well
- VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 2 minutes ago, VFROZ Welcome and congratulations. For most things, 98 to 01 share the same parts. No cat on 98/99, but you will not be able to buy a new system with a cat. All after markets systems available have no…
- VFR800f 2000 but seems to be a 99 Hi From Bristol UK and jujst bought a shiny 00 VFR with 26k on the clock. Just bought a 2000 VFR800. It looks like it was a late registered 99 model though - rubber mirror things - no cat For the purpose of purchasing…
