2005 Honda VFR 800 FI Interceptor dies when put in gear

SOURCE: Does the 2000 Honda Interceptor VFR 800F1 have an ABS option?

No ABS option for the 2000. Honda started offering ABS on the 02 interceptor. I have heard of peeps retrofitting ABS onto non ABS models (buying parts on ebay, etc), but only 2002 and later models. It is theoretically possible to put ABS on any bike, but if the mfg did not set up the bike for it, it would be prohibitively expensive, technically challenging and possibly unsafe. Get yourself an 02 or later interceptor and you will be happy. Note that in addition to ABS, the later model VFRs have linked braking systems, which cross spread the brake load 80/20... It takes some getting used to, but once you do the combination of ABS and linked is the best stopping on any motorcycle ever made, thanks to the genious of Honda. Good luck... If you got more questions, shoot me an email integrity19 at gmail dot com. BTW, the 919 is a blast of a bike. Yes, forks on the 02-04 models where of the mushy non-adjustable showa type and NO ABS option (why not honda?), but she is a beauty to look at and a pleasure to ride hard or soft. This 919 is my 20th motorcycle in 30+ years, my next one will be a VFR, hopefully with ABS.

gummed up carbs, faulty fuel pump, blocked fuel filter.

all of these will give you that response, fuel starvation.
you are not getting the right amount of gas thru, unles you have the choke on which cuts out some of the air making your mixture a little richer.

if it sat over winter in storage, the carbs probably could do with cleaning. you can try removing the air filter and spraying a bunch in, let it sit over night and see what happens. a good fuel system cleaner (additive) may help. if you can get Berrymans B12 ( dont know what country you in) it may be just american. but if you get some double the dose throw it in the gas tank, run bike til hot and then put it away for the night. then next day hopfully should be better. also if you have an inline fuel filter you could try changing that. does it have an electronic fuel pump.? does it run constantly? http://www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp

Your kickstand switch is either broken or out of position. The bike kills the engine as a safety feature if it thinks the sidestand is down and the bike is put in gear while the engine is running.

At 85 Celsius the thermostat opens, at 95-98 the fan turns on and the max temp you should see on your gauge is 104-105 C
