  1. But Why? Who's Going To Buy One? Nobody. 9 Feb 2015 22:28 I wish I could see one in person.
  2. Bad sound in the engine 25 Jan 2015 15:17 I hear cam gear whine (normal) and valve chatter.
  3. Blessed To Be Alive! 3 Dec 2014 01:25 Another 5th gen gone. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
  4. Causes For Excessive 5Th Gen Mileage 14 Nov 2014 01:29 I got horrible mileage when my t-stat was stuck open. Also the smell of running really rich.
  5. 1999 Vfr800 Project 28 Oct 2014 05:13 Rovari It is running, B4V4 (the previous owner) spent some time getting the bike going.The injectors have been cleaned and I heard it running before I put it on the trailer. Hesitant to start although once running it…
  6. 1999 Vfr800 Project 28 Oct 2014 02:52 Hey Rovari, do you plan on doing anything with the engine? I ask because with it been sitting for so long, I'm sure the rings have a high chance of being stuck. My last vehicle sat for less time and it burned a good…
  7. 1999 Vfr800 Project 28 Oct 2014 00:28 B4V4 rangerscott69 For that much work, I would have paid a lot less. Good to see the bike not rotting away though. I love armchair critics! $600.00 for the bike, $700.00 in parts, $100.00 in taxes. Please let me know…
  8. Forums 26 Oct 2014 03:09 Well the Honda dealer here seems to be more interested in UTV's and offroad stuff so I doubt theyll ever get an 8th gen. Would love to see one up close.
  9. 1999 Vfr800 Project 24 Oct 2014 17:04 For that much work, I would have paid a lot less. Good to see the bike not rotting away though.
  10. Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen 21 Oct 2014 04:48 Those tiny fans probably have sleeve bearings. Fast spinners but less durability. Just get the fan size and find sone with ball bearings.
  11. Fan Control - Choose To Turn Fan On Or Off Or Allow The Bike To Control 4 Apr 2014 02:59 The advantage of turning the fan off is so the stupid thing isn't fighting against the air flow when you're at highway speeds and just keeps the engine from cooling down. Stupid that they didnt tie the fan into the…
  12. Is This Brake Pedal Bent? 5 Dec 2013 18:16 Dont be ashamed; mines bent too.
  13. Is There Pcv For 5Th Gen Vfr? 30 Oct 2013 23:56 Its been done on here.
  14. Vfr848Rr Anyone ? 7 Oct 2013 02:24 So who's gonna transplant the 1200 in their 5th/6th?
  15. Wrong Fluid For Clutch? 6 Oct 2013 19:27 The cause for the sludge is you waited two to three years years to flush your clutch fluid. It should be flushed at the minimum annually just like your brakes. When he fluid gets dark it's time. Just get the valvoline…
  16. Wrong Fluid For Clutch? 6 Oct 2013 14:05 Im really just trying to figure out the cause of the sludge. Also, what speedbleeder # is it for the slave cylinder?
  17. Clip Type Master Link Experience/feedback ? 6 Oct 2013 03:01 I'd really like to go with a clip chain just so I can take the chain off and be able to clean it without getting crap all over my bike.
  18. Wrong Fluid For Clutch? 6 Oct 2013 02:31 My clutch lever had been a bit finicky for awhile and finally one morning I threw the bike in gear and she wanted to take off with the clutch lever held. Pulled the slave cylinder and it was leaking around the piston.…
  19. Cop For 5Th Gen Engine 1 Oct 2013 00:56 Just checked and Im using the 6th gen airbox. The tops of the throttlebodies are different. There is no mount for the two coils so I drilled holes, used zip ties, and used sealant around the holes. If you use COP's than…
  20. Cop For 5Th Gen Engine 30 Sep 2013 03:11 Rush2112 Veefer800Canuck Rush2112 CornerCarver ...With the large difference in injectors between 5th G and 6th G it seems (without any objective test data) to be a coin toss as to which ECU will better control the fuel…
  21. Valve Cover Leak 13 Sep 2013 05:06 After years of heat cycles they can eventually stop doing their job. Ive seen on forums guys using PB blaster to bring life back to O-rings and pretty much anything rubber by soaking them for some time. Might wanna give…
  22. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 19 Jul 2013 04:53 The Denso COP's on any bike should have the same female/male connections so the harness can pretty much come off of any bike with denso COP's.
  23. Power Commander V - Not Impressed 19 Jul 2013 04:41 As with any computer add-on, you really need to have it dyno tuned.
  24. Anyone Chage The Fuel Filter? 8 May 2013 02:03 I would if the bike sat. Ive seen what ethenal in gas does to filters. Had to replace the one on my vehicle after letting it sit a good while before I could fix her.
  25. retrofiting a CBR steering dampener 19 Oct 2012 04:25 I have a Scott's dampener. I use it on the highway to help stiffen up the steering.
  26. Delkevic Slip-on for 6th Gen 8 Oct 2012 03:42 Their cans w/ pipe are fine. It's their headers that are questionable. Someone on here or vfrworld bought some and they did a real crap job on the pipe connections. Pretty much just torching some holes then welding the…
  27. Just scored on a Corbin seat +backrest! 8 Oct 2012 03:36 I could have picked that up. LOL
  28. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 13 Sep 2012 04:42 Bike ran fine when I had the cop's installed. Haven't had them installed some time now because I haven't really been able to enjoy my bike. When I'm on her, it's because I've had to go out of town with her and don't…
  29. Would you buy it for $1500? 23 Jan 2012 02:43 Does it have a title?
  30. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 23 Jan 2012 02:38 douglasthecook What are the differences between the RC-51 stock coils and the VFR coils? Both utilize the same cannister type coil set-up, although I'm not sure what the voltage difference would be. If anything, I think…
  31. Would you buy it for $1500? 23 Jan 2012 02:29 Hidden push start button setup should work for ya. Kinda scary to buy something that doesnt start. I'd offer $1200.
  32. Ever diagnose something wrong that cost more than it should have? 19 Jan 2012 19:11 My father was mis-diagnosed with M.S. That wasnt costly at all. *rolls eyes*
  33. Idle too high with adjustment as low as it can go 17 Jan 2012 01:12
  34. Idle too high with adjustment as low as it can go 17 Jan 2012 01:06
  35. Push starting a VFR1200F sucks 5 Jan 2012 02:27 A bunch of these did sit on showroom floors for a long time. Plus add the time from bike assembly, waiting to be shipped across sea, being on a boat, getting organized once on US soil, then making it's way to the dealer…
  36. Doing valves on my 01..Anyone have that picture?? 10 Nov 2011 03:26 I just made my own. Here's some pics of my engine when I did mine. Nothing special. *edit* Scratch the pics. They changed the forum and now you can't even just copy/paste hyperlinks in. Dang forum thinks is a video when…
  37. Oil level question 3 Nov 2011 00:03 You do have it on the center stand correct? I think oil will drain back down from the oil cooler so it may be high when cold. Start the engine for awhile and turn it off. Recheck the oil height after a few minutes. Yes…
  38. Nice! (Shinko Stealth) 2 Nov 2011 02:10 I've been rocking the Apex radials with no problems.
  39. Valve clearance, dealers refuses to check 1 Nov 2011 01:22 They must be doing well if they don't want your money.
  40. 5th Gen Aftermarket Fuel Injectors 26 Oct 2011 02:44 I threw on an '07 throttle body on my 5th gen. Seems to work just fine. Just gotta adjust the cold idle now. http://www.vfrdiscus...__fromsearch__1
  41. Texas VFR Meet 2011 Oct 28 & 29 16 Oct 2011 05:49 I guess I never saw this. I'll see if I cant get Friday and Monday off.
  42. 02 Eliminator plugs 9 Oct 2011 15:56 There was a batch of those that got out and they're pinned wrong. There's a thread on them somewhere here.
  43. Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR 25 Sep 2011 22:45 Sounds like the tump over sensor is out of wack. Its behind the headlights.
  44. My 5th gen electrical adventure 24 Sep 2011 17:11 Well even the R1 FH011AA gets hot in the stock location. Got in on the passenger peg so itll get air flow. I wired a volt meter and it was pushing 14v the whole time during my trip until I was about 5 miles from my…

  46. Shorai Battery Failed Today 22 Sep 2011 17:35 Wrap the moty with some foam insulation like some car batteries come stock with.
  47. A 5th gen Compufire R/R adventure 22 Sep 2011 05:49 That are it. On the 00-01's we have a clearish plug with 5 wires. Two red, two green, and one black (monitor wire). FYI. That single red wire plug above the black and clear stator plug. Unplug it and make sure the…
