Anyone able to give me a hand to check a few things on this VT250f I'm working on? I don't have a wiring diagram (but I'm working on it). I just want to confirm a couple of things before I continue down a path I don't need to travel.
PM me or get ahlod of me some other way if you can spare some time ... maybe this Sunday?
Many thanks
Col a pop

You still need a wiring diagram mate.

Have you found the reg / rectifier yet??

I have a wiring diagram. And a couple of offers of help too. The bike wants to go, I'm sure of it. There is a healthy backfire sporadically. I suspect an electrical problem coz there are a couple of lights out on the dash that were going. The bulbs are fine and the fuses are fine. I'm thinking it's a case of working through the bike methodically.

Stickchick - don't worry. This bike will run again and you will get on two wheels.

Oh it will go again - there are just a few personality issues to sort out. Unfortunately electronic everything is a little harder to diagnose without the wiring diagram as the japanese love to complicate everything.....

Col - this weekned is a write off for me at the moment because of one of my little 'projects' i support but next weekends looking better...

There will be a Sunday (this weekend) session with this bike. Feel free to pop around... if you want the address PM me. Saturday will be a write off (due to work and kids sport) but Sunday'll be sweet.

Don't sweat it Paul - any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Cols the madman you need to thank - I just poked the carbs and suggested where the problem was - he did all the hard work..

btw - change the oil and filter Col...

ps - I have vacuum guages if you want to balance the carbs but check the valve clearances first..
