2003 V-Tec not working when cold

My son told me yesterday that the V-Tec has stopped working on his 2003 VFR-800 when the engine is cold. Once the engine heats up the V-Tec then starts working again. Any ideas?

 

This is normal operation.

VTEC doesn't start operating on my bike until its warmed up to 68-72*C

My last 6th gen and current one both function like this.

 

Jeff, Thanks for the info. I thought that may be the case but the kid thought something was wrong.

 

No problem. My pleasure!

 

Hope this help :wink:

You really shouldn't be revving an engine above 7000 RPMs when its below 150*F
Just saying...

 

lol, I was just going to say that. 7k on a cold engine!
