I have a 2001 VFR that I'm trying to bring back to life. I acquired the bike with the neutral switch wire shredded apparently from a mouse. The wire break is directly under the throttle body. I removed the air box to get q better look at the wire connections that are broken. Is it possible to repair the wires by removing coolant hoses on the side, or must you remove the entire throttle body and get at it from the top. That tasks looks like a lot of work. Is there a schematic to show wire connectors. It appears to me that there is a 6 wire connector by the left side of the throttle body. These wrapped 6 wires then split under the throttle body, 3 to a 3 wire connector, and the other 3 are the ones eaten by the mouse. Of the broken wires, one appears Light Blue/Red, one a black wire which goes to the neutral switch, and not sure if there is a third. I checked the wiring diagram and these colours didn't seem to match. Could have been some previous electrical work. And finally, is there a connector near the console/dash that I could jump a wire from the switch, at least to test.

Ughandi, I have a set of aftermarket plastics for a silver 2001. They are "passable" on viewing, but the seams are not great, and screwing them off is certainly not to the spec of Honda OEM fairing parts. I purchased a donor bike and used the OEM plastics. This is when a discovered that there had been twisting of brackets, and shims, to get everything to fit. So, following that disclaimer, I'm happy to part with them with no product cost, if you cover the expense of packaging and shipping (and maybe a set of VFR decals for when I paint my bike). I'm located near Toronto, Canada. Peter
