Ahh, back to two of my favorite things, techno music and vicodi... umm I mean, wiring diagrams and "photoshop"!

So, a friend asked me to fix up a 3rd Gen wiring diagram à la the 5th gen diagrams that I did previously. They work the same way as the last. If you don't have an image manipulation program that can handle layers, then you will be missing out on the biggest feature of these files. I'm going to pimp the excellent, free, open-source program GIMP again. If you don't have a capable program, grab yourself a copy to experience the full technicolour majesty of these diagrams.

All the .zip files contain a high resolution 11x17 formatted .png that yields acceptable printed/laminated results if you bring it to your local Kinkos, UPS Store, Staples, etc. Laminated, color 11x17s usually run about $5, and give you something to write on with grease pencil or overhead transparency marker in the garage.

The _GIMP and _PS files have a high resolution, layered, image that allow you to show and hide the color of the wires (simply toggle layer visibility). This allows you to focus on sections of the wiring diagram that you are troubleshooting. The file types are .xcf and .psd, respectivly.

The NoLayers version simply has a high resolution .png file, suitable for use on low performance machines that lack the capability to run real image manipulation software. The .png files are not layered, obviously.

I am providing this free of charge and if you pass it on to others, I require the same of you. The only thing I ask is that you credit me for the editing; these things are quite time consuming to generate.

I urge caution when using this diagram. There may be errors in the original Honda file and, unlike the 5th Gen, I did not have a handy, disassembled 3rd gen to verify the accuracy of the wire colors specified in the original file. There may also be regional or production variability. Again, use at your own risk, performing improper maintenance, repair, or modification to your motorcycle can result in harm yourself, others, and/or property of the same. By using this file, you release me from any damages to yourself or others.

Ever try tracing a wire on the black and white diagram and lose your place causing you to start over again? Or maybe colors make the miserable job of tracing an electrical fault more fun?
If you hate colors or usefulness, this is not for you. Some files are very large and may require significant amounts of RAM/computing power to view. IDK how much power is not enough, all my rigs are pretty new.
Zip file contains 3 images:
VFR Wiring Layers hires.png - very high resolution, colorized version of the wiring diagram from the 5th gen service manual. The filename lies, there are no layers in this file.
VFR Wiring Layers hires.xcf - very high resolution, colorized.... Same as above, except has the wiring in "layers" so that you can hide parts of colorized wiring overlay that you are not interested in. Can open with GIMP (google it, the software is free for Linux or Windows, but may be difficult for casual users), IDK if Paint.net can handle layers either.
VFR Wiring Layers hires.psd - same as above, photoshop format.
Download the newest version if you want a print-ready file. The printable file doesn't have the layer functionality of the other files, but is tweaked and sized for 11x17 reproduction. If you don't intend to have the file printed, the 1.5 version has all the same functionality of the 1.51 version.

This is a recovery of an old PCII directory from long ago when I had one on my VFR. I believe there is software in it to edit both the PCII and PCIII maps. I no longer have either of those to test it out, but the programs open map files and such. The biggest pain was finding a USB->COM port adapter for the laptop, alternatively I remember being able to remove the PCII from the bike and hook it up to a desktop with a com port with a 9V battery to power the PCII.
I didn't check, but I _think_ all the old PCII maps (excluding California) uploaded by Miguel are in this zip file.
Just putting this out there because someone was looking for it.
