All 36- A real no-no To all who responded,first off thanks. And yes it was the battery,it did fool a couple parts stores,but in the end the voltage was ok ,but the cranking amps were way down. So a new Honda Yusha battery,fresh gas and the…
- A real no-no Thanks to all that replied,now about the whine,it is momentary only a half second if that.I am almost positive the starter is not turning,at least I cant hear it. Also ,I have all my Honda repair manuals packed,so…

- 110�c Or 230�f At 180 Km/hr - Normal ? Hi Kelvin, Since I comprend in fahrenheit I did the conversions and your temperature at 60mph is satisfactory. So I am pretty sure your thermostat is ok,but one never knows. I would certainly check your cooling system…
- 110�c Or 230�f At 180 Km/hr - Normal ? Kelvin, Your bike has a lean air fuel mixture from the factory,then you add a k&n air filter which makes it run even leaner,then running at 111 mph,that makes for a good clip anywhere.With that combination I think your…
- A Visit To Wp Suspension. Thanks Rosso, I'm sure it was quite a trip and one that you will remember. A Corp. that I worked for some years back applied for ISO9001 certification. I just want to say that much blood,sweat and tears and dedication…
- Top Speed Per Gear? [image: View Post]donutgonuts, on Jul 18 2009, 12:15 PM, said: Sorry if this is already posted somewhere, but I couldn't seem to find it. I was wondering what the top speed for each gear was on a 6th gen? Howdy,I am…
- Short Throw Throttle Good topic, I also like a shorter throw throttle. Even the progressive one may be better. Possibly I may have become accustomed to these short throw jobs when I was racing Amateur MX and Enduro . And for those of you…
- 99 Vfr W. Newly Powder-coated Wheels And Pilot Road 2s. Hi F14SCOTT; I really like you wheels, two question, did you have to remove the orig. wheel bearings and install new ones after the powdercoating? if so what kind of bearings did you use? eddie
- Fuel Tank Question. Howdy; Sorry that you damaged your tank,anyway I have both a 5th and a 6th gen tank, the 6th gen tank can be made to fit on a fifth gen. but you are going to need some washers and other standard parts to make it fit. If…
- Modified My Chain Gaurd. What Do You Think? Guys; Please help me try and identify this item. Not sure but whoever owns the red ,I believe 4th gen,or the orange 5th gen,what year or P/N are the foot pegs? I like them because they do not have the rubber insert that…

- 1986 Vfr700 Conversion To Electric Hi Frodus, I am torn,when you said super low mileage bike I envisioned a complete restoration of a classic bike,but since you didnt go in that direction, I guess then, this is second best. If I understand your project…
- Is This A Good Deal For A Paint Job? Not to be negative,but I think something is not right with the deal,as one of the guys said frekin paint costs that much alone. Also I cant understand how a shop owner would want a customer to make a special deal with…
- Got My 07 Vfr Painted What You Think? Hi Haulin; Very nice , I realize its not an easy task to try and duplicate something like you did here. Just curious, did you have to get the decals made or were you able to buy them from a company that supplies old…
- Best Method For Peening Chain Rivet Guys & Gals; My 2 cents worth , I always grind the side plate off the chain with my bench grinding tool. Then carefully pry the side plate off and remove the balance of the link as a method to cut the chain. I believe…
- Thurn Motorsport Fairings And Tail Section Hey Jodius; Nice job,looks really good. I have been toying with the idea of getting a Thurn chain guard for my fifth gen. but they are so damm expensive. How do you like yours and do you think its worth the $$$? My…
- What Do You Want To Know About Chain Oilers? I never gave much thought to a chain oiler,me being somewhat of a cycle purist and the least stuff I have hanging from my bike the better. So never really seeing a chain oiler, can they be somewhat hidden or are they…
- What Do You Want To Know About Chain Oilers? Good project, what kind and weight oil do they use,and how often do you need to re-fill? eddie

- Want Chrome? I think its somewhat overdone,the guy either owns a chrome shop or has a relative that does. Also someone said that chroming increased weight,does anyone know approximately how much? You can just express the amount in a…
- Has Anyone Ever Seen Delkevic Headers I wonder if it would be possible ,that is if we found a company that previously made a set, for them to make a specified run for us. Can you say China? :cool: In my way of thinking ,headers are one of the best ,cheapest…
- Has Anyone Ever Seen Delkevic Headers Delkevic (sounds a bit like "Akrapovic", doesn't it...) is the own brand of DK Motorcycles, a huge motorcycle breakers (salvage yard)/parallel importer in the UK. They are not Motads; they are made somewhere in Asia…
- Has Anyone Ever Seen Delkevic Headers These headers look far from hi tech, however being 304 stainless and all and a price of $250.00, its not a bad deal. I have never seen a set of Motads in person, but in their pictures seems the tubes,bends and welding…
- Has Anyone Ever Seen Delkevic Headers Here is what I think, the beginning of the pipes on the far end on the Delkevic headers cross over each other, just like the stock Honda pipes. Now the Motad headers,I believe, dont cross over each other. I am not sure…
- Should I Get A Power Commander? Does anyone know what happens to the ECU/ fuel regulation when you unplug or debilitate the oxygen sensors. Does the fuel mixture go into a non adjustable closed loop or by disconnecting them does the ECU think the…
- Should I Get A Power Commander? Tucson; As far as the Power Commander,yes /no decision. Depends on what your about as a rider /enthusist and what if any plans you have to modify your machine. I currently have a power commander and oxygen sensors…
- It Is Now Time For Some Serious Modifications... Hi Toro,We spoke about this some time ago, I am sure lots of people can say that, however I just live a few towns over from you in Valley Forge. Just giving the presentation a quick overview,I thought it was very well…
- Pair Valve Removal Benifits OK, so if one wants to remove the pair valve system,lets say to simplify the area where it resides and to remove some weight,what does one have to do in order to counteract its removal so we dont make the engine loose…
- Is There Anyone Besides Me Who Doesn't Want A V5? Yes; I have also heard the V-5 rumor,a V configuration with an odd number of cylinders just seems really strange. I guess I am trying to envision the crankshaft working an odd number of cylinders,just dosent seem…
- Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. Howdy Guys; To all that replied about the Scotts filter,thanks. And to all that replied not about the Scotts filter thank you also. I always feel good about my thread if it creates thought and possibly some controversy.…
- Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. Howdy Guys; Does anyone have any experience with the Scotts filter? Thats the one with the stainless steel screen in it. A concern that I have always had is with oil flow. As I see it, the better a filter filters the…
- Tired Of Having A Hot Vfr? Hello all; I am a new guy to the forum, Yes my 2000 VFR has a tendency to run toasty. I read about the fan blade modification in another forum and quickly called my dealer and ordered one.Just picked it up yesterday and…
