dash problem new to these

ok so bought a vfr 800 f i think i only paid 150 quid for it it runs but been standing since 2008 the lcd dash doesnt work at all neither do the indicator warning lamps indicators flash tho any ideas ??

 

Checked the fuses?

 

What year and mileage is the bike. Since this is in the 5 Gen section I am assuming it is a 5 Gen (98-01) which have been known to have a bit of electrical issues, mostly due to wiring. The later year models less so, but not totally immune. I would strip all of the fairings off and inspect all the wiring and connectors and start from there. Of course Quattro has a good point, check all the fusses first. One of the first things to check are the connectors, many a 5 Gen have had melted connectors which have led to bigger issues.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Cheers

 

Is the clock alive? The clock gets it plus directly from the battery even if the ignition is off. I the clock doesn't work, I guess it is a missing ground to the dash - or a connector/wiring problem as 00TV says.

 

The wiring diagram for your bike.

 

sorted the dash this is a project bike as said bought for 150 quid been sitting outside for last 6 years untouched she runs bit smokey tho fuel not oil it was the tracks on the pcb causing the dash fault only the oil fi and 1 backlight was working but soldiered some new wires in and it works again plastics have come up well supprisingly

 

I'm Norwegian and struggle a bit to understand everything (in this forum), some writes sms language?, and some will not use dots - like these --> ...... ;-)

Is the dash problem solved? Do you have pictures of the bike?

 

Hi Adam and welcome to the MadHouse:welcome:

When you get time please drop by the "introductions" section of the forum and say hello to the rest of the folks on here. But make sure you add at least one photo of your VFR or it won't be long before folks start raggin on you! [To add photos Click on the Insert Image icon and follow the prompts]. Please can you update your forum profile "Forum Actions + Edit Profile" [link at the top of the page] to include the specs of your VFR and a rough location - city/town is fine. That way this information will appear alongside all your posts and if you need help with a problem you may find someone lives nearby who is willing to swing by and help especially if you have a well filled beer fridge!

:focus:

I am glad to hear you have managed to fix the dash. If the bike has been stood for a while, then its probably a good idea to start by giving it at least a basic service, and check all the basics especially the brakes and tyres.

Take care
