  1. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 16 May 2022 16:08 Yeah at least I learned something new to do and if I need to do it again, it will be faster and easier to do. I will ride and see. If the problem persists, I will go with new brushes, then solenoid. I would change the…
  2. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 16 May 2022 13:25 Tested it without fairings, let it turn the fans, drive it, let it idle... It looks like it cranks a bit faster, so far not draging when its hot but will check when I get the fairing on. Maybe with fairings there is…
  3. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 16 May 2022 12:49 Everything set, started fine, now I will let it to get some heat and see if that did anything. Thanks for you help I will reply if the problem is solved or not.
  4. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 16 May 2022 10:53 Update: Brushes are pushed by the commutator so I guess its fine. In the process, I somehow lost one O ring and cant find it... This is just stressfull...
  5. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 16 May 2022 09:12 Maybe this will work https://www.msjoker.rs/prodavnica/rezervni-delovi/skuteri/starteri/delovi-startera/cetkice-anlasera-sa-nosacem-hondayamahasuzukikawasaki-125-750cc/ I hope this holder is universal shape?
  6. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 16 May 2022 07:59 Too bad there isnt full presoldered repair kit, so I can just put it in and thats it. If I order this part above, don't know if I need to order brushes separately, and the terminal also... I suspect that brushes are…
  7. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 16 May 2022 05:39 Well I can see only two brushes on the holder. https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/vfr_750_fl__rc36/90/picture/starter_motor_carbon_brush_and_holder
  8. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 15 May 2022 21:49 1 hour ago, Captain 80s That little bit off is fine. No need to grease the spline, just lube up the o-ring with a touch of oil when reinstalling. Ok here are some insights :) One washer is chipped, don't know how much…
  9. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 15 May 2022 19:21 That exit gear shaft is in the motor oil right? Should I grease it when Im putting it back or not?
  10. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 15 May 2022 19:19 I got it out :) Tomorrow I will countinue. I guess these lines are aligment marks. Is this properly aligned? [image: nakY78M.jpg] They are not 100% lined but I guess this is fine?
  11. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 14 May 2022 19:58 I have some 30W soldering iron that I bought for the electronic, don't know if thats enough. I will post the pictures or write after I open the starter and see what is inside :)
  12. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 14 May 2022 19:11 20 minutes ago, Captain 80s It's the abundant amount of brush dust that increases the resistance of the starter motor and gets worse with heat. You can buy replacement wire lead / plugs for the relay and you simply must…
  13. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 14 May 2022 18:25 1 hour ago, Captain 80s That starter motor design is very robust. Settle down and cross that bridge if needed. The only starter motors I've had to replace are the crappy 2 brush versions that the VF1000F/R came with.…
  14. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 14 May 2022 13:09 Is there any other starter motors from other Honda models that I can use, if I need to buy 2nd hand one for replacement?
  15. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 14 May 2022 04:23 6 hours ago, JZH US import? Strange for someone to remove the remote reserve switch. Do you have a low fuel light in the tachometer? [image: P7220010.thumb.JPG.6247e589af9d77811816fdea30d1c832.JPG] Ciao, JZH Its not the…
  16. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 13 May 2022 20:24 Ok I will. Also I saw the manual today and I think I miss some washer on the starter terminal. I have 2 locking nuts, 2 insulated washers instead of 3 (need to check again) and one metal washer. Also I don't see the o…
  17. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 13 May 2022 19:33 Dun't know if starter solenoid can go crazy when its hot but doing fine rest of the time...
  18. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 13 May 2022 19:13 Also someone installed voltmeter where the fuel tap should be on the left side so I can see the voltage when ridding. Its strange cuz its not that every time it will slow down while cranking when its hot. Sometimes it…
  19. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 13 May 2022 19:10 17 minutes ago, jefferson What is your battery voltage with the bike idling and revving? You might have a charging issue, especially if you still have the stock R/R. I done that testing before and R/R is good. I forget…
  20. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 13 May 2022 18:30 Problem is back. Next thing is when Im changing oil, I will open, clean, lube and inspect starter motor.
  21. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 7 May 2022 15:48 So far so good. Lot of stop and go rides, with small distances, turn off the bike, then turn on again... Only happened once and that was really short and started right up.
  22. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 28 Apr 2022 14:47 I put a new battery, so far so good. Will ride a bit more and see if the problem is solved :)
  23. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 18 Apr 2022 09:45 Thanks for the answers guys. I will reply here when I get the new battery. Hope the problem will go away, if not I will check the starter motor also. Here are some pictures :) [image: Gq1Tsmd.jpg] [image: OSGPWY7.jpg]…
  24. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 17 Apr 2022 10:18 7 hours ago, bmart Try starting it off of another battery or jumped to your car and see if the symptoms change. (amps are pulled, not pushed) I tried that before and when I hook up on the car battery, 10 starts, all…
  25. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 15 Apr 2022 19:28 1 hour ago, jefferson Time for a battery. 1st start was ok, but it took a charge off the battery that wasn't replaced by running. 2nd time there was a weaker battery and the 3rd was the worst as each time you took from…
  26. Grinding sound when cranking hot, bad battery? 15 Apr 2022 19:27 2 hours ago, Hingley Sounds like it is time to get a new battery If you put a load tester on that battery I bet it is history Very cool to see a 3rd gen with the optional clock, does it have the optional center stand as…

  30. Ground on VFR750 RC36 1990. 19 Aug 2021 15:51 Hello guys, where is a ground wire and the bolt on this model? I saw the service manual but it isn't exactly clear for the 1990. model. Does someone have a picture or can explain, draw it for me?
