Voltage drop through connectors and wiring is to be expected with age, one reason it is a good idea to run your coils straight from the battery...
Replace the water pump, it means the seal is failing
But once again everybody gets sucked in and we now have 55 posts about this drivel
When anybody removes the timing belt on a 2002 VFR you are going to have problems
Sounds like your R/R is ok, problem is after cranking the bike over to start, or running with your headlights on, the R/R pumps pretty hard to...
Timing won't have changed unless you have changed it. Now you are starting to guess. How long is it since this motor was running?

You obviously haven't fitted a voltmeter, that would have told you right away there was an issue with the charging, way before you ended up...
You can pick up from any ignition on live wire anywhere on the bike, it is only measuring voltage in the wiring, no actual flow of current through...
Oh boy??????
I think it is 500ks from Swan Hill to Broken Hill there is only one shop/roadhouse/fuel stop sort of thing with maybe 2 bowsers, might have a...
Do you have power to the + on the coils? If so I think you are going to start looking at the ECU
Going to be ugly whatever it is, first you will need to start looking inside the clutch cover

Well that is wonderful news you have proved your battery charger is working and that your starter motor works. Now before you get stuck on the...
