rallen0223 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I have a 1995 VFR 750. The bike has a new battery and the wiring harness has been replaced in the last year. Now the bike won't start unless the battery is completely charged. if I ride the bike for 3 or 4 hours and then go to start it the next day it doesn't start. Any ideas?

mcrwt644 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 stator and or r/r to start with. check all your grounds and follow gll's instructions for adding additional grounds here http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/62756-how-to-busted-stud-removal/ when the bike is running at idle, what is your voltage at the battery? What about at 2500rpms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted July 1, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted July 1, 2014 are the plugs all the way in? the plug between stator and wire leading to the RR (RH side behind panel with the naca duct) plug into the RR (RH behind panel under the saddle) Plug into starter relay (in front of battery, red.green plastic) what does the inside of the plugs look like?

Member Contributer dalesvfr Posted July 1, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted July 1, 2014 Can't tell anything without putting a meter on the battery at full charge, while running at mid rev and the next day. You could have a dead cell in the battery or a connection problem or a bad RR. Was the reason for needing the new battery the problem you describe or is this a new problem.

rallen0223 Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 So update. Umm the bike starts now. I didn't do anything to it but I have to hold the starter button for a long time if I shut the bike off with the off switch. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallen0223 Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 So if I replace the solenoid I should be good to go right? Or is it probably the more likely the wiring Or something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
