All 21- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Dropped off to the workshop with no issues. Couldn't get the wire I intended to use to fit in the connector so ended up using a bit of garden wire....not ideal but it got me there😱✌ I actually bought this bike for a…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Yep, I've been pulling a battery lead off when messing with those, I'm not a fan of things that spark and go pop. I'll chuck in a jump wire and fix it down good before I ride anywhere, should be OK to get my where I…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Hi Grum, It was very satisfying indeed to hear that pump spring into life. I went back a bit later and it wouldn't start again. Pushed the red and white wire into the connector and away it went. I just need to be able…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump 10 minutes ago, ducnut That connector is the 6th Gen’s Achilles heel. They make a sanding tool (hobby shops have them) that allows one to run it in/out and sand the contact surface. Also, one could use an unpin tool to…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump And she lives! After cleaning the contacts it was still the same, but when probing the red and white wore to check voltage, I suddenly hear the pump fire up! She started after half a dozen cranks or so, and boom,…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump cheers Thumbs, I happen to have a can of iso from my days of cleaning thermal paste off CPU's. Why that never entered my mind I dont know!
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Ok, I think , thanks to all of your help we have found where the problem is. Battery is fully charged and with the ignition on, I only get 1v on the pink and black wire at the esr. Tracing back to the blue connector I…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Morning gents, I belive the recall was done over here, and assume was completed on this bike given the extra ground on the blue connector that I've read about in other posts. The motor turns over just fine, plenty of…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Hi Baileyrock, Thanks for chipping in on this, apologies for not responding directly before. I think the work has been done judging by the additional earth wire. Pic of the plate attached, I think thats a punch mark on…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump I'll certainly try Legend! Unfortunately, Mrs E wanted new carpet so had to put the multimeter down and pick up the stanley knife instead this afternoon so no further forward yet. Hopefully I can get it running soon,…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump 5 minutes ago, ducnut I applaud Grum’s knowledge, here. Here here
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Thanks Grum, appreciate the help. I'll trace those wires to the blue connector and follow it through as best I can. Sincere thanks for all the input and advice. Cheers Andy
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Ok, done that, no power still.... With the ignition on, and no bridge to b/w, I see full voltage at pink/bl With the ignition on and the bridge to bl/w in place, I see only 1v at pink/Black and bl/w. I do see full…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump 1 hour ago, Grum OK. Try this make a good shorting link so you can short/link the Black/Pink wire to the Black/White wire at the ESR, make sure the FCR is installed. Switch on Ignition first then make the link. DO YOUR…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Thanks Grum, I'll give this a crack and update here. Cheers Andy
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Hi Grum Yes, I can hear and feel the esr click, which I assume means its energised. It just isn't putting any power out on the b/w connection. Main fuse B looks OK, no sign of heat stress, ie. no nasty brown marks or…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Apologies, I thought I'd explained that in my first post but reading back, I hadn't. I have checked the main fuse, and it looked OK, I.e. wasnt blown and tested out at 0 ohms, but didn't take a really close look, so…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Hi Grum, the relay and connectors look OK.... Although looking at that pic, no.2 which is the b/w has a small amount of corrosion...could that be all it is? Surely not?! [image: 20200719_114532.jpg] [image:…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Hi Grum, I do indeed hear and feel the esr click when I switch the ignition on. I've swapped it out with the headlight relay and same results. Just in case, I've actually cycled left all 3 relays twice so that at some…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Hi all, thanks for all the replies, I appreciate the help. So, couple of things to clarify... I didnt loose the instrument lights, what I meant was that there wasn't any fault lights or stop lights when the engine cut.…
- Unhappy 1st time VFR Owner - No power to fuel pump Hello, I've just this minute signed up in the hope that you guys can help me out of a hole! I did the dastardly deed last weekend and bought a 2004 VFR800 vtec unseen from eBay 🤔 It was a 2 hour ride home, and al was…
