Great detailed write up. Any idea why I can't see the pictures attached? Does the proportional valve unit need to be cleaned, before i have (another) go at bleeding? My calipers and master cylinders did. And back wheel break gets stuck if I step on back brake, and loose up only after opening proportional nipple. Ta, Trygve 2002, 6th gen.

linked brake system bleed instructions

I was thinking the same, but then I found a more detailed write up on how to bleed the brakes. Especially in regards to how to get fluid into the proportional system. So now I'm not sure if I should try that way or if I should check out the proportional valve anyhow first, as it may need a good clean, if nothing else. Calipers and master cylinders needed cleaning, so? Any thoughts. And I can't see the pictures. Ta for reply, Trygve 6th gen 2002 non abs, I forgot to mention. -

After cleaning all three master cylinders and pistons in calipers. New seals in calipers. And a lot of bleeding. All air seems to be out, but when I press back break and release, the back breaks still holds. Only release when I open proportional bleed nipple. Any ideas what is wrong, and what to try next. Thanks for any tips, ideas or guidance. Trygve in Lismore, Australia. -
WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ?
Trygve replied to VFRUNNER's topic in Sixth Generation VFR's
Took my forks off and apart. Putting new seals, bushings and oil. Bush mechanic style of keeping the bike upright while front wheel is off.

Found it! Thanks. Its in good nick. Will wait and see what Honda says, re recall. Then attack it with a soldering iron. In the mean time I've got panels to fix and then paint. How thick a wire did you use from solder job to chassis. And where on chassis?

So after looking for grounding cluster (for days) somewhere near the battery, now I know better. On my 2002 front fairing is going off tomorrow! But just to clarify. I am still waiting to hear from Honda (Australia) to hear if front harness recall has been carried out. If it hasnt, i wait with this mod? Correct? And then on new or old harness I solder all together, and a thick gauge(?) wire I then lead to any nearby bolt, on the chassis? Not just stupid, old as well. Trygve

Ok. Thanks for answering anyhow. Think I have monitor wire and starter solenoid sorted. A few more earthing points sounds as next project. Ta, Trygve.

The title was misleading. The red bit is starter solenoid. Did a botchy fix, but have located a supplier in Sydney. Part is on its way!

The red connector going into green is right next to the battety. The white one is below the RR. Monitor connector(?) I think. Bike worked fine, I just decided to look around after reading vfrd. Glad I did before bad went to worse.

I love this forum nearly as much as I love my vfr800 2002. I have completed quite a few mods and jobs from reading your posts. Currently I have found two of my connectors are very burnt. And I have found very good info on what to do. However there are so many posts that tell me that photobucket temporarily do not allowe third party access?!? Frustrating.

Love to see the pictures. Not a message from photobucket. Any chance? Love the site. Trygve in Australia. -
Can any one please tell me what kind of plastic is used to make the headlights on my 2002 VFR800, I would like to try gluing one of the 'thingamajig' that has come off. The one that holds the screw that bolts on below the speedometer.
