The plug that connects my stator to my regulator rectifier burnt up... (3 yellow wires) I just bought a new stator a month ago, it has been working fine, but then I smelt something burning on my bike. I checked the wiring harness and the connection from the stator to the R/R is burnt on one prong. (again, 3 yellow wires) I checked the stator continuity and they are all 0.7 ohms between the 3 wires. They are not grounding out on the bike at all. Should I hardwire the stator to the R/R or buy a new connection? If I hardwire it, does it matter which yellow wires I connect from the stator side to the R/R side?

First off I’m completely new here so I hope I’m going about this correctly and posting in the right spot. Ok so about 2 weeks ago I went and hit the triple nickel in Ohio (state rt 555) and on my way back I came out of the store and my fuel pump wouldn’t prime which has happened in the past but not for years after repairing the burnt fuse connection so I wiggled some wires and said a few prayers and got her to prime again but then it still didn’t want to start. Had to feed it some throttle to get it to do anything and still all it wanted to do was only barely stay running on 1 cylinder and I had to hold about half throttle just to do that. After letting it sit for another 10-15 minutes or so I went back out to try it again and voila magically it started right up and ran perfect for the 200 miles i had to ride to get home. Turned the bike off and restarted it with absolutely no trouble probably 5 or 6 times on the way home but now it hasn’t ran since, just wants to only run on one cylinder now and only with lots of throttle input to get it to do that. Smells kinda flooded like that raw fuel smell afterwards. Pretty sure All my grounds are good, I just went thru the ones under the tank and the harness recall has been done. Switched ECU’s also with no luck…. Any ideas? Seems like it almost has to be wiring related. ANY info/help will be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi all, thanks for running and contributing to this awesome forum. I'm from a village in Quebec, Canada. Couple of weeks ago I acquired a 2003 VFR800 ABS with ~11 000 km (~7000 miles) on the clock. I hadn't understood the motor at first while test riding the bike, as recently I had had experience only with off-road thumpers and inline 4s, but a bit later it grew on me a lot and now I just love riding it. Also, I find the stock suspension is decent bordering on good 🤣 🤐. Initially I wanted to buy an ST1300, but now I definitely prefer the VFR as a long distance universal tourer, and a fun machine in general. The bike was in a pretty good condition in general thanks to low mileage, but of course I wanted to make it good all around. I replaced a partially rodent damaged air filter, changed oil (which still looked ok when drained) for Rotella T6 15W40 with a new filter, cleaned some blocked breather tubes, changed coolant with Honda antifreeze (old coolant looked like the same Honda stuff and was clean, but I did it just in case, and also cleaned the inside of the expansion tank from sediment). Cleaned the chain from some kind of whitish chain lube with kerosene and switched to gear oil, which in my experience is the way to go with motorbike chains. Sprockets look new . Also cleaned the calipers and installed new EBC pads, installed a couple of missing nuts and clips. Lastly got rid of the bar risers and beefed up the charging part of the wiring and cleaned and greased all electrical connectors I could reach. I'm planning to build an active RR myself and replace the OEM one. I've tested all major electrical components and for now all is good. A lot of things to do are still on the table, which can be good if you look at it at a certain angle, but the bike is a good runner already and I enjoy riding it in plentiful local twisties a lot.

Fuel pump relay not receiving voltage + no spark
Clement357 posted a topic in Fifth Generation VFR's
Vfr800 2000, 106000km, hardly driven, track, daily driver, road trips. a week ago i went for a ride and stopped at some place to spend the night, when i left in the morning and went to start it it cranked well but didnt start fuel pump didnt started. Put her on the double stand because i was in some light dirt, tried to started it again and it started very good so i went back home. I though it was a oil switch or something like that because i was parked on a small hill. When i tried to start it again it wouldnt start so i tried to investigate Every fuses are fine fuel pump does not receive 12v relay does do click doesnt receive 12v when i give 12v to fuel pump it primes wiring ecm to fuel pump relay is fine, 0.4 ohm (brown/black and black/white) wiring is not short to ground tested bank angle sensor ok tested bank angle sensor wiring ok cleaned ecm plugs engine stops relay clicks ecm diagnostic system light stays lit then i looked if it sparked and did not. I have a feeling its the ecm, any more ideas or test that i should do ? I know how rare ecm can malfunction -

First ride of 2023 and it was wondrous-clear blue skies, minimal traffic, minimal gravel on the roads, but many trees down from the severe storms of Friday. Had to ride over electric lines a few times. This is a curvy ride about 20 minutes outside Nashville and it's one of my favorite roads anywhere. It was going well until I got behind Grandma in the white SUV. Unfortunately I couldn't safely pass her and missed the mini corkscrew, which is a steep downhill while curving L then R as it ascends another hill-best set of curves on the ride but there's another day. I am amazed at this 25 year old motorcycle and how closely it performs (in some ways better) than when new. GOPR1517.MP4

One of the iconic locations for motorcycle magazine covers is Santa Rosa Creek road near Cambria, California. Tight & twisty and not that smooth but lots of fun.© Lorne Black
