View File 06-09 Honda VFR800 ABS model wiring diagram Original from Honda manual, B&W Submitter dallasb Submitted 05/08/2025 Category Owners Manuals and other  

I bought a Honda manual for the diagram, so I scanned it in. Hopefully it helps if someone else needs it. 06-09 ABS model wiring diagram, good quality, 5mb file, only B&W 06-09 VFR800 ABS Wire Dia.pdf

Bumping the thread here, hoping that someone has an '06+ ABS version, USA model wiring diagram that they could scan in. I'll throw them a few dollars in appreciation. Thanks

I found a harness off of a Canadian model, but I can't find if they are the same as the USA models. Does anyone know? Did Canada have HISS?

Thanks Grum, the ABS models had different wiring, including a second fuse box just for the ABS. I know the wiring changed in '06, and I have now gone through all the components that plug into it, and it looks like they all interchange from 06 to 09, so I think any harness from then will work, ABS of course. My harness has a visibly melted ground wire, for over 18 inches in the harness. Could I repair it? Yes, but I'd rather replace it. Knowing that it's completely fixed, peace of mind, way less work, wanting it to all match original, that is where I am at.

The 5th gen ('98-'01) exhaust should work right onto the header you have. You will just need to fab up a mount coming from the passenger footpeg/bracket. Possibly the 8th gen, the exhaust diameter is the same, but I'm not sure if the angle is the same.

I've looked everywhere before I posted, hopefully someone can help. I just got a '07 ABS model (even a RWB, yay!), and the previous owner seemed to let the smoke out of some wires. 😒 The main harness has a ground wire completely melted and a few things aren't working, but most are. I think he replaced the front harness & made some other repairs. The thing I need some assistance on is a wiring diagram for the 06+ ABS models. I want to buy a harness, hopefully off ebay, but there are almost none for my bike, but currently there is an 06 on there. The 06, 07 & 08/09 models have different part numbers from Honda for the harness, but I bet they interchange, other than ABS vs non-ABS. Does anyone actually have a Service Manual that can confirm the 06+ ABS models all has the same wiring? Thanks!

Thanks for the positive and negative comments either way guys, it helps for the next builds. I've always thought that the guys on here can be honest without using 4 letter words, and it proved still true, a good community.

Well, I asked, thanks for the honest reply, sure it's not your cup of tea. When the budget is supposed to be low, I won't have super-extra-cool things, but wait, more cool builds are coming. I love VFR's, my last one was an '02 that I put 70K on, very different than this one. I saved it from the scrap yard, and I enjoyed building it, thanks for watching anyway

Been a while since I've been on here, but I am now onto my 3rd VFR, but this one is a custom build, a 4th gen The build video is posted on Youtube Yes it has 110k miles, yes I bought it almost running for $400 Some would say I ruined it, but I say I revived it, as it was near death before the build. What do you think? Did any of you buy my Two Bro exhaust off ebay? Ha! 😉

I did this on my '90, just after 1 burned up. I replaced it with another OE reg/rec, but this was before Honda updated it to the heatsink version. I never broke the one with the fan, for what it's worth...

To answer your first question, I see the valve adjustment no more difficult than other similar bikes. The thing is, it is definitely more time consuming. I don't have much time, but I do have more time than money, so I opt to do it myself. Personally, I like doing my own work. Must have the OEM service manual and the Honda tools (aka dowel pins). If you have a regular valve out of spec, most bike shops have the shims in stock, common item. But when you have a VTEC valve out of spec, you must order from Honda, so you could be waiting a few days to finish it if you need one. The shim is the bucket and vice-versa. I checked at 53K, all within spec.

+1, and you need to read the base of the porcelain inside.

The 3rd gens originally had the turn signals (amber) separately mounted, attached to the sides of the mudguard that mounted the license plate, just like the other CBR's of the time. The turn signals you are referring to (red, next to the taillight) were dummy's in the US models, but I believe functional in other countries. (Site me on that) Just about every owner ditched the original turn signals, because you could literally twist off the bulb holder in the original signal, and twist it into the red lens next to the taillight. The 4th gen got this mod from the factory, but to be DOT compliant, the were amber. See below, 14 & 17 are the original amber, 12 & 13 are the red dummy lights everyone switched the bulb holder to.
