Last 50 of 61- Hello from London - VF1000R Respect to you members riding 80's VFs. Wow, admire the passion.
- 5th Gen Brake Bleed Issue - help please Skids, 5/30/2022 at 7:08 AM QUESTION: Is it just the front 2 bleed valves on the front callipers that need bleeding or is there some way that some air in the rear system, despite the rear brake pedal feeling very good,…
- Tapatalk? I’m sure Tapatalk support is a sore point. I noticed it was removed as of Oct 2020. Since that thread is archived/closed, I have to burn a new thread to ask if Tapatalk support will be added again.
- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) Cogswell, 5/3/2020 at 4:09 PM [...] Close the bleed valve while holding the SMC plunger in . Keep the SMC under pressure - do not release it. [...] While a PITA, IMHO this is a step that should not be skipped. As we've…
- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) RBPOL, 10/10/2016 at 3:52 PM I am new to this thread. I have taken off the left caliper and am trying to see if pushing on the rear pedal will push out the SMC--it cannot no mater what I try. Suggestions?? This is why I…
- How To Grease The Front Brake Slider Pins 2thdr, 2013-08-20 at 4:55 PM I also put a very thin film of caliper grease on the backs of the pads. That can be a source of squeaking if it is metal to metal. [...] [Old post I know but people reference this stuff for…
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen mk3dub [...]Of those who are interested, what's the general consensus on an upper price threshold? That conversation should probably happen (again) before we continue down this path and end up with a $1XX kit. Something…
- 6th gen ABS Brake Fluid Change Guide I edited the post above and updated it based on this year's fluid change experience.
- Another Airbox Mod Thread I Know.......but Whats The Best One To Do,01 Vfr800 There are no expected gains until I get my custom dyno tune for my PC3. It does look nice and spaceship like. For now it goes on the list of cheap cosmetic mods.
- Another Airbox Mod Thread I Know.......but Whats The Best One To Do,01 Vfr800 But of course. See here . I credit Switchblade with the idea.
- Another Airbox Mod Thread I Know.......but Whats The Best One To Do,01 Vfr800 I went ahead and insulated the top of the air box too: [image: post-14465-0-59711600-1408286123.jpg] I'm planning to get a dyno tune for my Power Commander 3 and this seemed like a cheap and easy mod to help get cooler…
- Another Airbox Mod Thread I Know.......but Whats The Best One To Do,01 Vfr800 Switchblade jerritt I don't see how removing the snorkle can cause water to enter the air box. The air box is under the tank, on top of the engine and behind the frame.It looks pretty protected to me besides where do…
- Another Airbox Mod Thread I Know.......but Whats The Best One To Do,01 Vfr800 Switchblade I think my next mod to the air box will be to cover the entire air box with that stick thermo blanket stuff. Try to insulate the air box from the heat of the engine . Like this? I did the bottom half of the…
- 6Th Gen Huggers [image: med_gallery_14465_7345_1421768.jpg] Here's the crack that's developed in my Power Bronze hugger. I think it's hitting the exhaust under load and full suspension travel. It's got over 22,000 km (13,500 mi) on it…
- Starter Valve Syncing And Low Speed Throttle Response <sigh> maybe a mod could split out this thread leaving the OP topic of SV sync and start a new thread for all the RB2/3 poo. I'm gonna resync my SV's later this month. If i've got time, I might try staggering them as…
- A Must Read Before Installing A Speed Correcter On '06-'09 (6.5 Gen) As a follow up to this, I'm glad to report that many thousands of kilometers later, this mod is working fine for me. My concern - stated in previous post - over splitting the signal and creating an additional load on…
- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) Jay, the photo in "G. Left Front Caliper, Inner/Centre Bleed Screw" shows actuating the SMC, but I think this line is done with the rear brake pedal - please confirm. Also, for the record, I never remove the front left…
- Steering Head Bearings - Secret to Installing the Lower Race? JZH The Pit Posse bearing press (like what LandShark described, but with flanged bearing drivers so it won't go off-center) is about $60 on Amazon, btw. Not sure which one you mean on Amazon: Pit Posse bearing press Can…

- Speedometer off but odometer seems ok? Speedometer reading higher speed +1 did the same thing - use a correction factor in my own spreadsheet to account for SpeedoHealer. It would be interesting to take apart the instrument panel sometime to see if there's any chance of routing separate…
- A Must Read Before Installing A Speed Correcter On '06-'09 (6.5 Gen) Jon, I'm revitalizing this thread. Tonight I rewired my SpeedoHealer as you suggested. I do feel better about the concept that the ECU will now be getting the stock unmodified signal as it was designed to do and the…
- Power Commander V - Advice ...and completely removed the PCV and the Autotune... So, like, Kaldek, is your PCV for sale to another member who might be interested in getting a good deal? :-)
- Oh no, not another brake bleeding thread! I took a quick look at your procedure/thread. I don't have much time this easter weekend but I see that even my procedure , while not meant to be a tutorial, is still confusing on such issues as whether the front…
- GIpro DS gear position indicator review slowbird How did you attach it? With tape? Is it easily positionable? It comes with thin double-sided black foam tape. Seems to work well. I wouldn't expect that it's re-positionable. However, it does come with an extra…

- GIpro DS gear position indicator review This is my review of my new HealTech GIpro DS gear position indicator (GPI). A couple of years ago, I installed an Acumen DG8 GPI. Recently I've become jealous of HealTech's new GIpro DS GPI. I've heard that it has less…
- 6th Gen (06+) Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) pinout and signalling Is that the same thing as the newest protocol used for OBD2 for cars? Looking at CanOBD2.com , all vehicles since 2008 are to use the ISO 15765 CAN (Control Area Network) protocol. When implemented for OBD2, it is a…

- Gear Position Indicator I currently have the Acumen GPI installed. It's great and sunlight readable but it is quite laggy - takes a while for it to display the gear. Anyone have the luxury of a direct comparison between the Acumen GPI and the…

- 6th Gen (06+) Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) pinout and signalling Anyone figured out definitively exactly what signals are available on the DLC connector? Since GIPRO makes a DS gear position indicator that plugs into this port, I'm assuming that speed and RPM are somehow available on…

- Thurn Motosports mirrors I've read complaints about Thurn mirrors that they are loose and flop out of alignment with the slightest jarring. However they seem to have an awful lot of different models available now. Surely they can't all be bad.…
- 7th gen mirrors on 6th gen? Discuss. I'm wondering what the feasibility is of mounting 7th gen mirrors on a 6th gen VFR. I like the new mirrors with their integrated turn signals AND proper foldable design. From the photos I've looked at, it would appear…
