Guest camo Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I have been a proud owner of my 1998 Honda VFR for about 3 years, recently it was stolen from my front yard. Day later some guy on a horse finds it in the desert under some branches, thank GOD. Well I recovered the bike and the bastards cut the 3 ignition wires right under the ignition switch and had twisted them together. Figured I could just wire it back up and go, WRONG. I don't know what is going on but there is ZERO juice with the wires correctly hooked back up when I turn the key. All the fuses are good, battery is charged and still reads 12v when I turn the key which should put it under load. I get no headlights nothing. Checked the ground from the batt. and batt. cables all is good. I check the continuity from the fuse block of the cut wires up to the bare tips from where they were cut and it passes. Problem is there is no voltage at the wires yet back at the fuse block there is. I downloaded a factory service manual online, but I am fairly new to motorcycle mechanics, but am experienced with regualr automotive, and I have no idea where to go from here. I am hoping one of you will say oh yeah it's just "blah blah blah" and a simple fix. Any ideas or input would be great, I'm going crazy having this thing down!

Member Contributer chris2992 Posted January 18, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted January 18, 2007 Go back to the hotwired set up, can you get it to start then. If so, maybe they fiddled and broke the ignition, then cliped and hotwired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer chris2992 Posted January 18, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted January 18, 2007 Try this in order. Hook up the ignition. Un hook battery, wait 2 or 3 minutes. Re hook up battery. Try again. Could be something as simple as the bank angle sensor, or some anti thevory device that ditects a clipped ignition and the ecu must be re-set with the ignition in place.

Hobie1dog Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Sorry I can't offer any better suggestion than Chris, but welcome to the forum anyway. Post up a picture of that thing when you get it back and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
