2002 Honda VFR800 Electrical system Problems

“I own a 2002 Honda vfr 800 motorcycle that has incurred electrical problems that 2 dealers were unable to repair. The electrical problems occurred while I was driving on the highway at highway speeds, and when trying to use turn signals. The headlights went out and the engine died...a very dangerous situation. Now the motorcycle still did the same thing, just that the headlights were practically non functioning ,they came on sometimes when going over a bump but the engines still died whenever I use the turn signals. …”

“Had starting problems and went to check the battery. Found that the fuse holder, a connector and the small wire between the two had discolored to a brown. There were signs of melting on the wire insulation. The part has not failed to date but gets very hot to the touch when the vehicle engine is running.”

“Dt: the consumer experienced 4 separate electrical failures, it has caused headlight and engine failure. The consumer contacted Honda they have repaired the issue under warranty. The ground wire has burned 3 times at different points. The 1st time aug 2002. First time it only had 18,000 miles.”

“Motorcycle engine died while running. I did troubleshoot to find an electrical 30 amp fuse wire insulation scorched and burned through. Copper conductor had become very hot.”
