Ok guys, Ran into trouble yesterday with my bike on the way home from church. and I just got the damn thing! Head Lights, all instruments, tail lights quit working! But it continued to run and the turn signals kept working. After reading some threads here it appears to be an on going issue with the electrical harness and and 30 amp fuse under seat! Im not to mechanically inclined to be fixing this stuff! Have you guys had this problem? My bike has a little over 7000 miles on it. Im ready to take it back and trade it in as it doesnt seem that there is a permanent fix for this and all be damned if I didnt spend alot of money on this bike to be having it breakdown along side the road like a Harley! The dealer is closed today but open tomorrow and I just might take it back! What do you guys think?

IIRC Honda fixed all of the electric gremlins that plagued the earlier VFRs in 2006. All of the things you mentioned work off of one fuse which is housed under your right fairing. Swap the fuse and see what that does for you. :fing02:

damn, less than a week old and he's already a hijacker...

but for good cause. and he's a local...

carry on...
#19
PM sent to HiSdWobble. I want to do this ride. Sign me up. Gonna be a good ride for a VFR IMO.
#20
Ok, was able to download owners manuel from here and figured out how to replace the fuse. Fixed it for now, will ride to honda tomorrow for test ride and pick up some 10 amp fuses for that just incase it happens again because I used my spare.

Hope you guys dont mind me wearing my bright pink full leathers and rabbit ears on my helmet! ROFLMAO!
#22
IN! A group if I have new tires by then, B if not :goofy:
#24

...but I will probably be wearing my camel back!

[image: Posted Image]

First off, Ill trade you my stock exhaust for yours? hehehe! And just to let you guys know I wont be draging my left knee like him cuz of my ACL surgery I had 2 months ago, but maybe the right will be fine! Dont know if that picture is you with the fanny pack but that ones way to small but the fanny pack straped to the back of your bike will work or you will need to bring two straws for your camel back! LOL!

You are now officially the leader of the A group. We will send you out about 15 minutes before ANYONE else starts off. My reasoning is that any law enforcement officers that see you ride by will be in tears and unable to perform their normal duties for at least 30 minutes. YOU ARE NOW THE DECOY...
#26
I would like to go, but I'm gonna have to sit this one out. I will be prepping for Summer Summit. Besides, seeing how it will be hot, there won't be any critters out to keep pace with me- squirrels, rabbits... :lurk:

Have fun!
#27
My birthday party is later that day....I'm in. I'll try and ride in the A group, but I haven't ridden aggressively in over a year. I should be ok though. I'll be looking forward to riding again. :pissed:
#28
Count me in. this time I'll try to be on time.
#29
Micks rules for the road. http://users.hal-pc....cham/rules.html If you've never read them they are a good guideline for these group rides.

Also make sure you arrive with a full tank of fuel, good riding gear and tires that are in good shape for hot desert roads.

This looks to be a good size group so everyone try to arrive early or on time so we can get a good jump on the heat.

Looking forward to it.

Sorry for me, have to bow out. I have to go out of town now this weekend.
Have to catch you'll next time.
#31
Not that I need it, but the route is now programmed in to the GPS. Is it Saturday yet???
#32
had a buddy earlier today mention that there is a bike rally at the Pala Casino this weekend. I looked it up, and don't think that it will affect our ride. However we should be aware that there may be alot of bike traffic leading up to the Casino. I'll post it up in case someone would like to visit it on the way back...

Also, as I've done in the past, I'll be closing down this topic at 7:00pm tomorrow night. That way everyone can go to sleep and not be concerned about checking in again before the ride. I know I had a hard time sleeping before one ride cause I just wanted to check for new posts every couple hours! I know, I've seeked help. One of my shrinks says its normal. But two of the other ones thinks it's OCD... I trust the fourth one... She's cute...

Sadly, I cannot make this one, work came up. I'm going to be pre-running the route in the AM, to, uh, y'kno make sure its safe and stuff for you, so if that works for anybodys schedule, hit me with a PM and we can discuss meet up times, etc!

Bummed I can't be on this one, since I got so soaked on the last one, but still had a blast :biggrin: Have fun, ya'll!
