Last 50 of 247- Power Commander 2 Software Mr. vfrcapn, I am very much interested in getting a copy of your PC2 software and associated maps. I recently got a tricked out 5th gen that came with a big box of extra parts to include an unused PCs still in the box,…
- New to me 2001 Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. rm
- New to me 2001 Nice collection. I have a 4th and a 5th Gen. What can you tell me about the lights you have on the front of your 5th that look like they are on/next to the forks. Nicely done. rangemaster
- Please help me set fair prices for some 5th gen parts.. PM sent about your gas tank. PS have loved your N600 since I first saw it years ago.
- 4 years ago today.... Kudos on the positive attitude Dutchy and how 'bout a pic of your new 4th GEN? I was wondering how long you could stay away.
- Say it isn't so! I had 2 of the old CB 400 4 Super Sports - wish I had the Yellow '77 back. GREAT bikes.
- CB4x concept I had 2 - a '76 in red and a '77 in yellow. Wish I still had the yellow one - sold it for a house downpayment.
- Yoshi Style Velocity Stacks revisited Mr. Mohawk, Owning a carbed bike, I've never messed with injection. Having wrenched on my own stuff for over 50 (!) years, I'm curious as to why you are using CBR 929 injectors with only 4 holes when most conversations…
- Tire puncture opinions. The BEST is the Nealey Tire Repair Kit from a little family run place in Iowa. Been using them for years. My current rear tire (anybody ever have a puncture on the front!?) has over 2000 miles on it with a Nealey plug…
- Best places for parts to bring my old girl back to life Regarding your starter: Look around your area for an "old school" starter shop. I've worked on a lot of 'older stuff' (bike and cars) and have had great luck getting starters rebuilt by a good shop.
- Cleaning Intake Valves... Having a 4th Gen means pulling the carbs occasionally. When the carbs are off it's easy to see down the intakes to the back side of the valves. It used to look like the photos above. Ever since I plugged the airbox…
- Cleaning Intake Valves... Curious as to the "something you did about it." I put a filter on the on the outlet from the valve cover and plugged the inlet to the airbox for this very reason. One of the small aftermarket tapered filters will fit…
- 4th gen silencer I got one of these gathering dust in the garage. I'm watching in case I ever put bags on my bike. Might consider shortening it a bit while you're at it. And they do make a stainless steel silencer packing material, much…
- Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? I got to sit on Mini-Carvers 5th/6th Gen at the last Summer Summit in South Dakota. (Yeah, he offered to let me ride it but he's about a foot taller and the bike is definitely set up for him). Super well thought out and…
- 2006 Makeover Project Understatedly stunning.
- 4th gen Carb Vacuum Pistons Group Buy Yoshi, add me to the list for 1 set. Many thanks.
- Pardon The Nudity... I got "laid off" after 17.5 years. I was in the burst radius of a politics and money ka-boom. P.O.d for about 10 minutes and then-"What am I going to do now?" Sent out a few resumes at the beginning of the overseas…
- Pardon The Nudity... 2 wheel version of the Sistine Chapel. A mobile work of art.
- my yellow VFR Beautiful-I like the white wheels on yellow-very clean.
- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 Thank you Sir, It worked perfect.
- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 2 hours ago, didit "When placing in your signature ,"... I'm just an analog guy in a digital world, so could somebody tell me where I find the directions to do this? I'm a PC guy at work and am on the wife's MAC at…
- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 Rangemaster made it home Saturday to Albuquerque just before the afternoon monsoon. Did another 100 miles after COS_VFR (many thanks) and I part ways in Limon Co. Great to have a riding partner thru some of the most…
- My 399 lb VFR848 Beautiful bike. Cool Dog.
- Chain Mileage I commute-lube once a week, clean once a month.
- Any Fried Stators Yet? When I took long trips with my 4th gen I carried a spare! I still do.
- SumSum 4 Scouting Trip Pretty hot up there about now-but still cooler than down here. Almost 4 weeks of close to 100 degrees. Wherever you pick Tony, I'm sure it'll be great.
- 94 VFR replacing leaking fork seals, what oil for stock springs/light rider? I weigh #145 w/ gear and have the stock springs. When I replaced my fork fluid I went with Silkolene 2.5 wt semi-synthetic (their best) with a 130 mm air gap (fork tubes collapsed, no spring). Dive is much less but more…
- I am back! With UFO 99 VFR800 Fancy seat. Could shorten the can a bit. Defiantly a keeper, somebody know what they wanted and built it. Hell of a find.
- So I might have done a thing...... Very cool Rob, SP1 or SP2? Friend of mine just had his stolen, was in a store at the mall less than 15 minutes-figures somebody targeted him because he just got done doing a nice refresh to it.
- 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build Your Gabe is a welding wizard-some of the nicest work I've ever seen. I'd leave it the way it is-nice contrast.
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results CRRC46 is right-that is very rich. Seeings' how you're at sea level (or close compared to me) I'll bet somebody has been in the carbs. Mine still have the Phillips/8mm hex screws in them and I had to go in and put the…
- 3rd gen fork setup 4 hours ago, RC36Rider Are you sure you want to stick with springs that light ? The RT calculator has your 135 lbs at 0.868 kg/mm. Considering that the bike on its own puts upwards of 150 lbs on the front springs and…
- 3rd gen fork setup Very nice chart. I'm using the stock .70kg springs. Wish somebody made a strait rate .75 for us lightweights. You can also affect the 'hardness' or 'softness' of the stack based on the diameter of the clamp shim. (one…
- 1985 VF1000R Restomod Beautiful. Post a shot in the sun and I'm going to make it my screensaver.
- The Ace Of Spades Baltics Tour 2016 Dutchy, Glad you are "OK" (relatively). Hope it all works out.
- New donation from 2k1GoneWild Hi rangemaster, Thank you for your donation of $50.00. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
- Electrical/charging gremlins I see you still have the white electrical connector for the stator to the RR. Pull the plug apart and I'll bet ya dollars to donuts that it's fried. (Or at least corroded) You need to hard wire the 3 yellow wires…
- Honda N600-VFR800 54 minutes ago, Kel Reminds me of this V65 powered Honda z600. Some incredible stuff. I've got a few spare R motors...hmm. Part1...…
- Rothmans Resurrection - Bringing The Ultimate Barn Find Back To Life Thanks for sharing.
- Tighten Mirror If you can find the purple Loctite it works perfect for this.
- Is It Irresponsible To Ride A Motorcycle As A Parent? Depends. Have life insurance (I carry extra, my avatar explains why). I've done more dangerous things than ride a motorcycle. Manage the risk. Be conservative on the bike, wear the gear, always. Besides, when you show…
- Adding A Lower Radiator To A Gen6 You, Sir, are a freakin' genius. And yes, it's winter here and I block off half the rad on my 4th Gen to get/keep the temps up riding in 25F temps.
- 3Rd Gen Vfr750F Ninja Zx14R Rear Shock Swap "The Zx-14r shock is not easily compatible with the 4th gens, it would require more comprehensive modifications. There are other options for the 4th gens though. " So, other than the 929 shock, what might some of these…
- What Chain Lube To Use? Since they changed the recipe for the DuPont spray chain wax, I've had good luck with the Cycle Gear Moto Pro stuff (Moly and Teflon). One of my riding bodies swears by the CRC white lithium grease spray from…
- Hybrid Vfr= 5Th Gen With A 6Th Gen Subframe Freakin' gorgeous.
- Plug Replacement -- Irridiums Worth It? Iridiums made a difference in my 4th Gen. smoother/lower idle and a bit quicker to fire when starting. They had them at a Checker Auto Parts for only a $1 more than conventional, glad I spent the extra 4 bucks.
- Fitted Staintunes Staintune makes a bigger spud, I have one in my 4th gen to keep the peace with the neighbors. Sounds great, deep rumble, just not as loud as no spud. Kind of takes the edge off.
- Yoshi Style Velocity Stacks 2ND on the pic, perfect.
- Yoshi Style Velocity Stacks You guys (Mohawk and HighSideNZ) work for NASA? European Space Agency? Love reading your threads, keep it coming.
- New And Improved Alternative Ram Mount I've seen and handled huntinggunns' latest - it looks like something that belongs on the space shuttle.
