VFR750 fuel tap.

**FROSTY:Me** · 18th December 2004, 13:54

well my Viffer is givving me a bit of trouble.
The fuel tap is a turn knob kind mounted in the fairing.
from the knob run 2 cables back to the tank where the real fuel tap is.
2 questions.
1) mine seems to be stuck-it dont turn--is this common and where is it usuall stuck.
2) which tap position is on -off and reserve--the previous owner had the bike painted and no tap positions are noted

Remember having that problem with my old 1990 VFR750 as well. Did ask a honda shop and they did tell me. Oh and you can end-up with the cables on back to front as well. I have a printed copy of the manual for in as well as one on a PDF file (I could burn that to a CD-RW and post it to you). Free to you frosty, if you want them.

It would be cool if it was the same bike as I had just service the White Power rear shock 10,000Km's before droping it of the ute

Plate was 65UST and the VIN/Chassis no. was 7A88G011102000562. I was the first NZ owner for it.

I'll bring it down tomorrow if I go to this http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...2&postcount=21 . Oh, and you can keep it (and give it to the next new owner).

Fuel Tap, I think I can remember it had to point forward for on and backward for res (but the best bet is to carry a jerry can and run it until she cuts out).

Fucking goddambed rhondas--why in gods name did I buy a fucking honda--

By the time they got to my model they dropped the tap off the side and it runs an electric fuel pump like a car. Only tap is a simple on-off job attached to the tank, which you can't see normally, so you can turn the fuel off if you want to remove the tank.

Hope you get yours sorted.

Dropped in @ Frosty's the way back from MR's ride Sun. Noticed the VFR in the shed. First give away was the Honda Red Riders Club sticker on the mud guard (just where & how I had put it). Next was the anti-rub sticker in the tank and tail (for where my bags went). Finally, the White Power rear shock was a dead give away.
Bugger me, it's "Veronnica", my old 1990 VFR750

Well I hope you get her up and running again. Must give you her service history (still have the receipts). Also have her old side fairings. If you are lucky, I'm drop them off this Fri on the way to or back from the Drag Wars.
