  1. Yes, i bought the bike years ago, with an aftermarket alarm system installed on it. Spyball i think!
  2. Hi to all, just thought to share something similar that happened to me a couple of months ago... While i was riding on the motorway the engine suddenly died. I parked and checked all the fuses. Everything was fine, but i couldn't hear the Fuel Pump when i turn the ignition on. My first thought was that the fuel pump died. I took the bike to my mechanic and he found that the alarm was causing problem... The alarm after 20 years. So after disconnecting some wires everything went back to normal!
  3. Memorable, to me too! But i'm not doing it again for any reason...
  4. You can look at this...
  5. ok, The first few years, when i bought my vfr (quite a long time ago) i had serious problems with the R/R too. So after 3-4 R/Rs and an equal amount of ...batteries i did this mod to my bike and i have no problem since then. Almost 10 years now! I put an aluminum plate between the R/R and the frame, and some extra computer heat sinks on it. I also used some heat sink paste between all parts, for better heat transfer as you can see in the photos. hope it helps...
  6. ok, i was curious too, so i went for a little check. here it is: during the test i turn the lights on. the exact moment it resets the clock (time) and the 2 sub counters. so something is wrong with the power/current. probably one of the xenon ballast i have for many years on....
  7. Thank you guys, but nothing sounds familiar to me. Hope that there is nothing else wrong with the bike. The only thing i know is that i have a ...brand new 1998 vfr with 0 km on the counter
  8. Hi guys A strange thing happened to me this morning... All of a sudden the total clock (km) counter reset to 0. It is like i bought the bike today.... Is there a way to fix/recover back the kms on the clock? Any help would be much appreciated
