It's not OEM. Looks like the socket is for a BMW/European style jack plug.

3) there is spark from what I can tell - it will give me a thump in time with each cylinder but won't "catch" - won't fire up, saying that, I guess it's not confirmed in each cylinder - I'll look into this.
Does it fire when you spray some starter fluid or brake cleaner into the airbox?

Are the plug caps properly seated?

If the reservoir is empty the bladder most often takes up most of the empty space in the reservoir. Are you sure the reservoir is completely empty?

Here is a picture of what I believe to be the date code which would in fact make them made in 2012.
It doesn't look like the date code to me. Also I think the RS III was introduced in 2016
This is how the DOT code looks like:
Week 23, year 2010

Do you know which type/size are required for the 01 vfr800?
I have no idea, never had an '98-'01.

Have you tried getting rid of all that air that is trapped in the air filter by raising the fuel tank a little?

Welcome.
I don't have a parts manual but use one of the many online versions. Here is an example: https://www.bike-parts-honda.com/

The lever has rotational movement, while the actuator and the movable stacks have linear movement (yellow arrows).
The stacks don't need to have linear movement, do they? Or can you otherwise not get enough clearance?

Wow, that's quite an ordeal you went through. Best wishes on #3 👍

I think that was the Bio-Blade, which was a 5th gen in Blade clothing.
Yes, that's the one. 👍

I once read a series of articles in a Belgian magazine called Motorrijder where they prepped a 5th gen for endurance racing. Can't find the article at the moment but below is a clip of that 5th gen riding at Zolder.

Thinking about the fork lower with the stripped bolt last night and I think I may use a cheap allen wrench and JB weld it into the hole. That should take care of the issue.
I often had success whacking a torx bit into the stripped allen head.

Beautiful! 😍

The Fuel Cut Relay is the only device detecting engine running via the Tacho output from the Spark Unit. Assuming his bike matches the drawing supplied above!
So does the oil pressure switch. I used it to trigger some xenon bulbs. Using the regular starter switch circuit they sometimes would not ignite due to too low voltage after releasing the starter.

For those in Europe looking for trim clps: Würth is a good source. Bought a few boxes of different sizes years ago. At that time they were €8 for a box of 50.

Oil has changed a great deal and I can see the oil companies are designing oils for the car masses and the motorcycle side of it is just a sideline, ( in comparison )
Not Putoline. Putoline only makes lubricants and coolants for motorcycles, scooters and quads.

It may not be as hot here (>35C days are rare) but I have experienced my right leg getting hot when stopped at a traffic light and the fan kicks in.

I have a hugger on my third gen and haven't noticed any difference. Never paid special attention to it either but if the difference in heat was substantial I think I would have noticed.

MRA makes quality windshields, and for the third gen they have four models including a touring screen:

Doesn´t look abandoned to me. It may have been parked there for some time and looks a little rough. But these 3rd gens are cheap and so is parking as you can park a motorcyle anywhere as long as it does not obstruct other traffic (including pedestrians). "Private" indoor parking spaces are scarce in Amsterdam and sometimes go for a crazy amount of money

The enhanced piston diameter reduces the heaviness of the original clutch action and brings much relief to aching arms.
This will definately make a difference. Hard to tell by how much without knowing what diameter the oberon slave cilinder has.

I remember those being very popular around here during the eighties. Lots of fun to ride, and to make them go faster.
