    Vfr1200 is shaft driven

    If you have an OEM hugger I will buy that off you. It's start, LOL

    But you're not in Europe, so having this problem is practically unheard of. And I actually think the issue was restricted to bikes sold in UK.

    Waited 3 months to get this out of stock screen, did a 20 minute ride and it's not going to work for me. This cost about $170 new. $100 shipped within US. Also looking for an OEM screen. Willing to work out some sort of trade for the ZG screen.

    I think you may need to pull up on it while pushing/pulling the tab on connector to get it free.

    If I recall correctly, it took a fairly strong pull to get that fuel line disconnected. But it's been several years, so I hope I am remembering correctly.

    You should try to replace the ECU with the same part number or maybe if there was an updated one for the 2010. I would not put a 2012 ECU in a 2010 bike.

    OP still hasn't confirmed that there is actually mechanical problem with his engine from what I have read.

    I messaged you the only email contact I had for him.

    FWIW, someone posted a video on the vfr1200 fb page of them starting their motorcycle after letting it sit for year. It sounds horrible, and obviously his engine didn't blow just sitting without running. Presumably he's got some sort of misfire. So, you might want to check that you are getting a spark at each cylinder and check the plug condition.

    Good likelihood considering how much rust and general decay is visible.

    I put over 60k miles on my first '12 VFR. Zero problems. I was the original owner. It's currently for sale by the 3rd owner with 82k miles on it. . I bought my 2nd one last summer. It only has about 9k miles on it. I think you are either very unlucky or there was some operator error by the first owner assuming it wasn't by you.

    Except for those that suffered from the swarf in the engine problem, which I think was just in the UK and part of a recall, mechanical engine problems on these motorcycles is almost unheard of.

    So why not pay to get a key cut before buying it so you can be sure? Why doesn't the seller do this? Seems like he'd have a better chance of selling for more money by doing that. Something seems sketchy. I didn't know you could have a new key cut without a reference key.

    We need fewer details.
