Help! broke down 2006 vfr 800 need help or suggestions!!!!!

I have a 2006 VFR 800 that I got stuck on the road with today it died and came to a stop like it ran out of fuel.It has plenty of fuel and is a low milage 17000 well mantained bike.Will not restart had to get a tow truck home FI comes on when I try to start and stays blinking till you let off start button.Fuel pump does not prime when you first turn on the ignition either.I need to know where the digonistic plug to check the code and what wires to connect to do so.I assume it will blink the # the code problem is so I can use a pdf manual if anyone can email me or post it so it can be downloaded.I also tried to disconnect the battery thinking it may reset the ecu to get me home but still same problem.I had a similar problem with a 2006/7 cbr 1000 with a bad tip over bank sensor that went bad and it did not allow the fuel pump to come on.Any sugestions would help with any simaler problems.

I need a service manual!!!!

Thanks,

The diagnostic plug can be shorted with a paperclip, it's on the throttle side under the right side handlebar.

I don't think the 6th gen VFR is known for having bank sensor problems, though I wouldn't rule it out.

Does the fuel pump prime when you turn the key on (with the kill switch on)?

I'll find a link to the service manual which outlines the blink code procedure and post that up unless someone beats me to it.

 

here is link to manual, 2002 is the same.
without knowing the codes cant help you much. they are listed in the manual, keep us posted.

Ok I downloaded the manual found the diagnostic plug in the manual it is a 2 wire since it is an older manual the diagnostic plug is a common red 4 pin and I tried jumping different wires but still can not figure out a fi code.The FI light flikers off and on fast when I try to start but it does not stay on perminant and the fuel pump does not prime.

 

The link provided above has the manual for your bike it is the same as the 2002.. The diagnostic jumper is just two wires there shouldn't be any other possibilities except just jumping the two wires in the plug... If you have more than that you probably have the wrong plug..... Which begs the question what unhooked that you're now trying to jump? The jumper should be just under the throttle side handlebar inside the fairing. Maybe you should post a pic of what you're trying to jump?

 

Ok looked at my cbr 1000 manual 04-07 with the same diagnostic plug and it says to jump brown with green wire but still no codes coming up.I did jump the fuel pum it seems to work fine.So still think one of 3 problems Bank angle sensor,Bank angle sensor,engine stop relay,fuel cut off relay!

 

Well if you jump the VFR's diagnostic connector properly, you will get a readout via blinks from which you can determine exactly what it's trying to tell you. It's listed in the manual that 02 VFR Rider linked to above (you want the 2002 VFR manual, almost identical to the 2006 for most things, including the FI light blinks)

 

Second half of this post applies to the VTEC (2002+):

FI Light - How To Read Error Codes - VFR Discussion

Note that the pictures in the top half correspond to the 5th generation, so your jumper is NOT in the tail, it is up in the front-right. But once you find it, follow that procedure. I used a paperclip to jump... good luck let us know what you find ...

 

Fixed

I did a check for the problems listed above the start stop switch was ok.I also checked the fuel cutoff and engine stop relay and they were ok that left the bank angle sensor and the ecu.I removed the fairings and headlight to get to it and the wires were browned from heat going into the unit and the main fuse 30 amp was melted under the seat from heat but the fuse was not blown.Again with the correct wires in the dignostic plug it will not show a code but the FI light will just blink very fast when the start button was pressed and stop as soon as u let of the start button.So the fix was changing the Bank angle sensor and replacing the fuse with repair and cleaning to the fuse block and now on the road again.

 

Glad to hear it all turned out. Rock on 6th gens

 

Bank sensor? It is just a mercury switch that is out of position. Made to shut off the fuel in a bike crash.
Some times people remove the component with the mercury switch and turn it upside down and then it won't work right. Happened on Kawasaki 1500's all the time. The mercury switch was covered with white tape and was in the instrument cluster. When the owner removed the instrument cluster and layed it on a work bench upside down is what cause it to not work correctly. It even had a warning about it in the WORKSHOP MANUAL.

You have to have a workshop manual !!!! A must have item.

 

Is it a mercury switch? I thought I read somewhere it was an oil-damped pendulum switch. I don't remember where that was, and now that I think about it, it might not be this bike anyway.
