All 21- Rear brake locking up... rear center piston... FIXED! Marooncobra, 5/10/2020 at 4:29 PM 8200 Having now seen the cut away of the SMC I think when I do my brakes next I will strip the SMC down and throw it in my ultra sonic cleaner and hit it for a good ten minutes with a…
- Rear brake locking up... rear center piston... FIXED! 8200rpm, 5/10/2020 at 3:40 AM So recently, I had the oh-so-common Honda (Goldwing, CBR1100XX, ST1300 and VFR800 combined braking system) rear brake lock up, dragging issue. The rear brake pedal felt mushy like there was…
- Wellnut install MaxSwell, 4/10/2020 at 1:25 PM If one looks at a virgin well nut it is longer and uncrushed. Put it in the hole you removed the crushed one from. When screwing the pan screw into the well nut after fitting the lower…
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? Having owner a number of bikes during my life and still having a 98 gen 5 since 1999, I love to check back on the discussion site to see what’s going on with you all. The amount of time, money and effort spent on making…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA I have a feeling that the oem bent flange shownin the photo above is probably the result of overtightening the the exhaust nuts. The torque is only 9 lb.ft. I’ve had my headers off a number of times for jet hot coating…
- Estimated labor to R&R transmission? If you’ve got the bike apart this far, go ahead and dive into the trans... they’re not rocket science and it’ll give you an education on how it works... most bikes these days have similar trans and shifting parts. When…
- 2007 front end vibration I’d check the forks and triple clamps for straightness as well as the frame.
- Rearsets for 5th gen.? Once upon a time Harris in England made rear sets for the gen.5 but they're as rare as hens teeth. Don't bother writing them, no longer made.
- Chain adjuster stuck... but only in one direction... Maybe time for a bit of lubrication? Never had a issue with either of mine.
- Trying To Revive A 1993 Vfr 750, Incomplete... And Flooded! Not sure where the bike came from but I've rebuilt a lot of carbs and a pair from an airhead BMW from Texas had a lot of dried brown stuff in the float bowls. Some of it comes from contaminates in the gas. If the bike's…
- Rear Brake Locking After Pressing Pedal Just a thought here but do you all ever look at the factory shop manual? It got all the routing info for cables and hoses. Also shows how to rebuild every component on the bike and is downloadable on this site. Most of…
- How Does The 8Th Gen Rate? Is It The Best Vfr Yet? Not sure what causes a gen 5 to have a "dangerous" front suspension or what a "just right" cornering position is. I've yet to find any anomalies on any of the VFRs I've ridden... other then first interceptor which I…
- Ultrasonic Cleaner Ummm... Ever try Berrymans carb and Parts Cleaner? Walmart, PB, Autozone, etc.
- Hard Rear Brake Pedal? Doesn't Stop Well. (I've Bleed The Crap Out Of It) Maybe it's time to spend a little more time on preventative maintenance. Don't know why you wanna be able to lock up your rear brake anyway!
- Denali Powerhub 2 Fuse Block Installation Not sure why we motorcyclists need so many fused circuits; maybe for the cell phone, nav, heated grips, battery tender, extra lights, 2way radio, stereo system? Maybe that's why so many batteries, RRs, wiring and…
- Wtf Is This? Gross Clutch Resevoir Here: Attached Images [image: image.jpg]
- Coolant Type What's being used for coolant?
- Removing Top Bolt On Rear Shock On 1998 Model I've done 2 rear shocks on VFRs. First one I didn't follow the shop manual and pulled the bolt in the clevis. Second one I lifted the tank... Much easier. Not sure what you don't understand.
- Doing A Body Count.... Update Nov. 29 Insallation begins With 2 VFR800, gen 5 in my garage and more than a few busted up pieces of plastic. I saw NICECYCLE's ad on line and decided what the heck, I've got a new SEARS Gold Card with a zero balance and a 24.9% annual rate and…
