Oh, it runs just fine. The clutch only slips a little on full power takeoffs. The 'friction zone' is all the way at the end of the lever travel....
Take it to the dealer and have them pull the FI codes.
I think you've pretty much nailed down the cause. Fuel pump isn't priming for some reason.
I've had this VFR for a little under a year now, about 43k miles on the odo. Unfortunately I might have to sell it due to financial...
Mine shakes like a wet dog in Alaska when I let the clutch out. It's the engine. I've checked everything known to man trying to hunt down why...
Off the top of my head... Bring voltmeter, check voltage on battery at idle and 5k rpm. Shouldn't be any less than 13.5v regardless....
That's insane lol. Love it!:biggrin:
I'd go ahead and replace the battery with a Yuasa anyway just as preventative maintenance. Hard to say on the r/r, just test the voltage on a...
I just posted about this recently on my 99 with high mileage and a bad front tire. The other day I lightly let go of the bars and rear braked a...
I *seriously* doubt they would engineer something into a bike that would keep it from starting if left out 'in the sun'. Something is wrong with it.
What exactly is it's purpose?
Not sure what you call it, the 'air door' on top of the airbox. I'm wondering, is the operation dependent on engine load (ie full throttle) or...
Tires are old, bigtime chicken strips. But what actually causes that? You guys with new tires, try it and see if you have wobble too. Just...
Check with these guys. Might have to sift through some popup ads first, then register....
Do a voltage check at the battery, idling and 5000 rpm. Shouldn't be any less than 13.5. When my r/r was bad it was 12.4 at idle (not...
On a whim, I lightly let go of both bars and gently hit the rear brake at about 25mph. Suddenly my front end started wobbling something fierce...
Battery dead, hmm. Better check the voltage at idle and 5k rpm's once you get it charged. Might need a R/R and wiring job.
Wow, my Maxima takes 4.5 quarts! Didn't know a motorcycle stored that much oil in there.
Sorry, don't know about the kit you're looking for, but FWIW I can co-miserate with you as I had a 500 Magna for a while and even after an...
That's amazing. Only two years into your riding career and doing a cross country trip. You must physically be in better shape than me, even...
