Thanks for saving another gen4. It looks great! Just don't complain about not being able to keep up with the others. Everyone knows red bikes are...
Voltage readings are to be taken in parallel, not series with the circuit. Just connect the meter across the connected battery terminals. If...
If you have the VFR service manual, it's item 19 on page 1-34. If you don't have it, you can dl it from this site.
I believe it is the clutch diode, which is not part of the charging system.
Once you have confirmed that the fan is working and the coolant level is good, you may want to check your charging system. If it is low, the fan...
The 3rd gen uses the cable system. If the cable and connectors are good on both ends, then the meter is probably toast.
https://www.canadasmotorcycle.ca/street-bike.html I got parts for the 4th gen, so you'll have to do your own picking. I bought the sprockets and...
I just ordered mine from Canada's motorcycle, due to the horrible exchange rate and that it shipped from Canada. I also chose the RK chain,...
You'll be glad that you had the knuckle protection, when you're punching a cager in the head, for cutting you off.
Yes, it should be 30.
Ah, a conductive grease. I've seen it used on turret slip rings, where shorts aren't a problem. Not for use on multi-pin connectors, but...
I use it on all my bikes and have never had a problem. All my connectors are looking shiny and new, with no electrical problems. As a long time...
You should have a peek in the tank, when it is low. There may be some contaminants in there, that don't come into play until they get...
I didn't notice a washer there and the parts list doesn't show one. It has been years since I've had to adjust it and it has held just fine. As...
On my way to work, on a dark and drizzly morning, I hit a new, but nasty pothole, while doing about 90 kph. All seemed fine until I got close to...
So to cut to the chase, your starter won't engage until you play with the throttle. If this is what you are trying to say, check the starter and...
Stalling at a light is how most people find out that the charging system is not working.
Have you checked the battery and charging system? "the drill"
That shouldn't be drawing power with the ignition off. You shouldn't see any voltage drop just by connecting it to the bike.
The fluctuating is not serious, but the voltage drop to 12.2V is not good. The only drain, with the ignition off, is the clock. You need to find...
