    i have a 94 VFR that has a new battery and R/R recently checked and providing a charge, took it for a ride this afternoon it ran great, came back for an evening ride and i have bright light but not even a sluggish turn over, just nothing when i hit the starter. Anyone know an obvious culprit?

    It's gonna cost you 25 cents, Bunkie, but your bike will start if your battery is good.


    take a quarter and use it to bridge across the 2 large contacts on the top of the starter solenoid............be sure you're in neutral first, ok ??

    Your '94 VFR is among the most trouble-free, reliable models, (imo).

    if you can find the starter just follow the large black wire back about 20" and there she be!

    very near battery......

    owning the Official Honda Factory Service Manual will save you time and money and contribute to the good health of your bike.

    Check to see if your battery contacts are tight.
