All 39- Silicone Coolant Hoses JZH I can't tell from the pics if it's the right hose or not, unfortunately. But it's definitely not blue! But thanks anyway. Ciao, You'd just need to add a white hose somewhere. :patriot:
- Silicone Coolant Hoses JZH, 10/7/2016 at 2:50 AM Yes, I believe that small hose is for the fast idle wax unit thing on the '00 and '01 models. I didn't replace mine, due to the extreme bend, but maybe the Samco kit includes a pre-bent…
- Silicone Coolant Hoses JZH, 9/23/2016 at 5:04 AM [image: gallery_362_5959_184256.jpg] The black hose coming off the t-stat goes to the wax idle unit? Don't have one on mine but have an "extra hose" that I'm trying to figure out where it…

- Silicone Coolant Hoses JZH You might be able to order them from RaceBikeBitz in the UK, but they're very pricey... What I did on my yellow 5th gen was buy non-custom individual hoses, as originally suggested by Chris (IDA71 on the Honda VFR…
- Silicone Coolant Hoses Terry So you did, my mistake. I hop around the forum a fair bit so tend to look at the In My Garage section under the poster's name for the bike ID. No problem, I'm just joshing... I probably should update that section…
- Silicone Coolant Hoses Terry Here's a supplier of silicone hoses; I recall them being fairly pricey however. http://www.samcosport.com/row/bike_kits.asp?make=Honda You don't say which model VFR you have, but if it is a 5th gen or later and…
- Silicone Coolant Hoses Need to replace coolant hoses and was hoping to replace with silicone. Not having any luck finding any. Anyone have a source they can link me to before I just replace with OEM?
- Electrical/charging gremlins Install the volt meter. Had similar sounding issue a few years ago. Turned out R/R was intermittently failing. Would never have found it if I hadn't installed the meter and seen it flash 18v for 30-45 seconds while…
- Clutch Never Fully Disengages Check your oil level. If it's over filled, the clutch will grab no matter the gear or amount of lever pull.
- Shoei Gt Air ? I must have a different GT Air than everyone else because I have most of the opposite problems. - louder than my previous Shoei's. Part of this I blame on the VFR itself since my head sits right in the wind blast off…
- No Signals, Horn Or Brake Light, Not The Fuse Pull the switch housing apart and check for cracks. I had to replace mine for the same reason.
- High RPMs on cold morning start-ups [image: View Post]leanit, on 09 March 2010 - 04:46 PM, said: Gang, The last few mornings I have ridden the VFR (2007), the temps are in the 38-45 degrees range and once it ticks over, she revs to 2500-3000 rpms and…
- Help me fit my HIGH MOUNT Ranger, I'd have a new pipe bent. The reason it's pointing outward is the distance from the connection to the header to the first bend is too short. [image: View Post]The mailman, on 23 February 2010 - 11:54 PM, said:…
- 2 Bros. VALE on my 6th gen. How's the volume level? I like the sound of the 2Bros on my 98 but had to go back to them and get the insert to tone it down some dB. Couldn't stand it on the highway at 80mph.
- Keeping the Battery Charged If you only have one bike, a Battey Tender Jr will only run between $20-30 and does the job just fine.
- Any interest in another Mirror Extender batch? I like mine so much, I'd consider buying another VFR just to put another set of extenders on that one too.

- Lost My &*%$^#@ Key You know you'll find the key in a pants or jacket pocket after you get the new ones made.

- Exhaust Modification Questions If the pipes are Ti, you'll want TIG. It's an interesting concept you have. Looking forward to the results. Even looks like you could trim the plastic heat shields to fit the VFR's bodywork.
- I Am Tired Of People Riding My A$$ I've seen some mounted on a Mustang before but like this one, you can't have a catalytic converter for it to work properly.

- Lee Parks Total Control Motorcycle Clinic I have. There are two reviews in this thread (Post 1 and 4). http://www.motorcycleaddicts.org/tracks-tr...ing-clinic.html Bottom line IMO is the course is a "should take" in a succession of courses. If I were to put…
- Honda V4 Statements From Milan [image: View Post]vfr_steve, on Nov 17 2008, 05:02 AM, said: it's all blahhhhh... anyway I have a perfectly competent V4 already thanks! Blasphemer!! Don't screw it up for the rest of us.
- Widest Tire For The 6th Gen Vfr I think you can just barely squeeze a 190 on. I don't think you'd be able to ride very far when the tire experiences growth as it heats up under load.
- Gen Mar "double Stacks" Hmmm....mini ape-hangers. Not bad.
- Oil Change [image: View Post]Bent, on Aug 21 2008, 07:11 PM, said: Channel Locks or a screw driver will work. Damn gorillas..... :mad: +1 for the channel locks. Never fail and less messy than punching a hole in the filter.…
- Coolant Temperatue Gauge I've never had my fan come on on the highway. Just in slow to not moving traffic and that's in the heat of AL summer. It usually comes on around 220F. I've also noticed that while some things looked painful when reading…

- European Vfr Riders If you don't really want to go, I'll go for you. I'm begging the Army to send me back. Where in Germany? douglasthecook is in Germany too.
- Shifting Into Second, And Shift Points I don't usually miss second and hit neutral unless I get lazy with my left foot. Have you tried adjusting the lever a bit?
