Hello from Western New York

I came accross a 1990 VFR and i have no clue where to start.
No body work. wont start.
oh boy. Gonna need help.

 

:welcome: to the madness :wave:
Check make sure the pistons are not seized up put on a fresh battery and start her up. You be surprise :thumb:
Good luck and keep us posted of the progress.

 

I'm yer mon, laddie !! I'll go through anything you need fixed in my moderately well-equipped shop near downtown Buffalo if you bring the bike in. (Currently have 2 '86 700s, one '97, and a '91 in shop now, mostly general maintenance) . If you prefer, i'll ride to you with some tools, 26 years of VFR experience, and a real desire to help........ if you're not too far away and it's not raining too much.

 

Today I tryed to jump start it. No luck. I think I have no spark.

 

You'll need to acquire and study the Honda service manual before making much progress on yer own. You got a title for that lil badly-neglected beauty ??

 

Can't name it till it purrs for me.

 

Oh... am I the only one with a left side pipe?

 

And thats one big ass pipe.
I would take squirrelsman's help....
Good luck...did you trade a 12 pack for her? title as in pink slip...

Just a little update. I took the right side switch apart and jumped the run with a paper clip, yup a little Mexican determination, some starting fluid, and a jump from the truck...
shes alive!

 

Now you have something to work with, good luck.

 

lots of E-Bay bags n boxes arriving. I found a water leak from the left side water pipe. Looks like im gonna pull carbs to replace O-rings.

took off the sub frame.


also got a seat...
:crazy:

oh...
SWINGARM STAND!:glee:

 

the EBAY truck made a stop at my place....


so i got to work...


the left side stay is a bit bent... could not mount the mirror. its rainning cats n dogs today. I will look into it soon as the weather passes.

 

Great progess........:thumb:

 

Well done on locating all those body parts.

 

Jusr need the gaskets for the cooling pipes.

 

coolant pipes that are at the base of the V? Nice job attatching body work, thats always a pain in the backside, the new stuff even matches your fender. How many miles on that "beastie?"

 

That was a pain to hold it all together with no clue what and how it goes on.
but its got 33k.

 

And it just gets even better
2 broken bolts for the water pipe cap!



This one's is cracked and rusted up the bolts

 

Dats a Bee-Ah-TcCH!!! I got stud pullers but you got nothing there to really attack. Make sure when you use your center punch you bulls-eye that sucker so you can get a left handed drill bit in there perfectly centered. Then its extractor time. Good luck :thumbsup: never saw this one on a Vee-Four before, was a "neglected beastie" fer sure.

 

So who has the talent to help remove my broken bolts?
