Last 50 of 252- 5Th Gen Engine, 6Th Gen Frame I have bolted a 6th gen frame to a 5th gen engine without issue(and that's as far as I got!). If I were to do this project I would try to keep the 5th gen engine management with the 5th gen engine, and leave everything…
- 2013 Vfr1200F EhViffer Maybe it's a different story in Canada but at the Toronto Motorcycle Show this weekend the Honda booth had a Red 2013 VFR1200F DCT on the floor. I said to the sales guy I thought they were supposed to be black…
- 2013 Vfr1200F Well, I guess there are people regularly paying over 30K for a Harley bagger... I know its apples and oranges, but it sure makes the VFR look like a hell of a bargain!
- 2013 Vfr1200F The black looks good, now they just need to drop the MSRP to get the bikes back into showrooms. How many people paid full pop for the 2010? 13K USD seems like a far more realistic MSRP for the basic model. For 16K that…
- For my wife? [image: View Post]2thdr, on 30 October 2012 - 01:12 PM, said: Same engine as your Daytona, but detuned right? I love both the Daytona and Street Triple... Yep, but it's pretty hard to tell. The Daytona revs higher and…
- For my wife? Street Triple is a fantastic bike, but its definitely on the tall side.
- RVF800RR Build Well if you decide that its too much work to build a frame, and would rather throw a bunch of money at it, you can contact servicehonda.com about purchasing a brand new RC45 frame... yours for a measly $3,165.28!…
- RVF800RR Build I seem to remember a quote from Colin Edwards saying he removed a couple of frame to engine bolts on his SP-1 to get more feel. Not sure if it's truth or myth...
- RVF800RR Build I believe the RC45 made use of that lower "mounting" hole in the above pic.
- RVF800RR Build Love these threads! Post pics!
- my modded 97 vfr No problem. See if you can find an angle finder like this one http://roofgenius.com/roofangle.htm locally. Set it flat on your top triple clamp to find out what your rake degree is currently. If you know what your rake…
- my modded 97 vfr The suspension is ok but now it does not want to turn in on corners it understeers berfore with the oe forks it was neutral i even lowered the front by 10mm to make it steer quicker. That's because you have increased…

- NO WSBK TODAY ON SPEED! I hate you Dutchy! ;)
- NO WSBK TODAY ON SPEED! Nope, AMA racing from Homestead is what I see on the schedule.
- 8th Gen? RC213V slated for production in 2014 To me, the 1200 engine looks VERY similar to the RC211V engine with the exception of the shaft drive, cylinder heads, and 5th cylinder of course. V angle is almost identical at 76 degrees IIRC.
- NO WSBK TODAY ON SPEED! God this channel sucks! 2 races left in the year, the championship is tighter than a gnats ass, and I have to wait until TUESDAY to watch the race!!?!?! Yet, they have plenty of time to show me world of outlaws and a…

- 8th Gen? RC213V slated for production in 2014 I highly doubt the new bike will resemble RC30 or RC45 architecture in any way shape or form, other than having a V4 and two wheels anyway. I would guess the engine in the new bike will be more closely related to the…
- What about an "italian stallion" viffer C'mon Seb, how long do we have to wait for you to unveil your "little secret"? :tongue:
- 750 rearsets? I have a brand new set meant for a 900RR on my 750 track bike project. PM me if you're interested.
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) Thanks for being the guinea pig! My wiring harness is all stripped down to the basics for ignition/starter, just waiting to see if the cop's are going to work before I finish it up!
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) I may be interested in a slipper eventually, I remember my 5th gen having a lot of engine braking. Good to know that there's one that fits and that I can buy it from you! I like the oil cooler setup as well, I'll…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) kgsmotorcycles douglasthecook flyguyeddy 900rr is tci. All coils share a positive switched feed and ignition module grounds the coils. As does almost all honda street bikes (with the exception of the vtr1000 and the…
- RC30 rear shock on 4th gen? It won't fit, the lower mount is an eyelet on the 4th gen shock, while the RC30 uses a clevis as shown in your pic.
- Anyone running without an oil cooler? Doesn't seem like a good idea to me, especially considering the small size of the VFR radiator and the fact that you track your bike. I think your best bet would be to run a smaller but more efficient cooler like a…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) Not to mention it will be blocking airflow when you're moving.
- RV4? Yes, we want to know every last detail of your bike! There just aren't enough VFR track bikes out there at the level of yours to drool over. Very inspiring for the guys who are building their own!
- What adventures are you planning this year [image: View Post]RED RUNNER, on 05 April 2012 - 04:59 PM, said: Track days at Willow Springs and/or Laguna Seca (anyone have a recommendation for a track day provider?) I've ridden with two different track day…
- What adventures are you planning this year Besides trying to do a track day at least every other month, Laguna Moto Gp is definitely on the agenda. A friend of mine is trying to talk me into going to Japan with him in October for the Motegi Moto GP race. Really…
- 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. Every Denso 2 pin COP uses the same connector as far as I know.
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR You and me both! Why do you think I want you to post up a thread on your bike? ;)
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR Good info!
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR kgsmotorcycles NakedViffer I've been running gravity feed with the factory unmodified tank for some time. Fuel pump on these bikes is useless, just one more thing to fail. Thats promising.. might have to take u up on…
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR NakedViffer I've been running gravity feed with the factory unmodified tank for some time. Fuel pump on these bikes is useless, just one more thing to fail. Have you run your bike at the track? Just wondering if its an…
- Fuel filter - 7th gen? MSGTR The tank "sock" is on the inlet of the fuel pump. Cars have them, yes, but they also have a filter further up near the engine. Don't know about the VFR. I'll have to look into it more. Most newer cars don't even…
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR Hey kgs, are you running a fuel pump on your bike or is it gravity fed?
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR Didn't notice the "C" on the end of VF750. May have to look into this, I'd love to get rid of the hydraulic clutch on mine.
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR Wait, didn't the VF's have a hydraulic clutch?
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR The Phantom flyguyeddy You could theoreticlly use the vf750c sprocket cover and pushrod for a cable clutch conversion (but you lose the speedo pickup). This sounds interesting!! Can you post a pic of the VF750c item up…
- race pipes I think your best bet is to find a really good local exhaust fabricator. I was quoted about $1K USD to have a custom system made by Hiperform in Southern California. He even offered to build some jigs for a little bit…
- Fuel filter - 7th gen? eastbowl2 I can't find any reference to a fuel filter in the service manual. Anybody know if it has one? I know the current gen Wings don't have a fuel filter and I'm guessing Honda decided these bikes don't get one…
- ultimate frankenviffer? Rick Oliver's RC30 with a 3rd gen engine swap Maybe ultimate frankenviffer was a little bit of an exaggeration. Rick definitely could have gone further with the bike, but it looks like he was trying to put it together without spending a fortune on it. That being…
- 18 inch rear wheel on VFR 750 seansparkle SamW Are you aware that the RC30 rear wheel is a single nut and the VFR a 4 bolt/nut? The Dunlop D207 for the V-Rod is a decent tire, not up to the best of today, but decent. I have an RC30 if you need…
- 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR So are you planning on riding this bike on the road, or is this to be a track only bike?
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) I'd definitely be up for experimenting with them, but its going to be awhile before my 4th gen is back together. Its funny, I actually ran these same coils years ago on my Audi urS4 without doing any testing or…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) As far as I know all 4th gens and earlier are TCI, not sure about the fuel injected models.
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) I didn't see anything written about resistance of the stock RC51 coils in that thread(kinda skimmed throught it), but Thorsten Durbahn mentioned on one page that the RC51 and RC30 use a CDI box instead of a TCI like our…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) The Phantom VFR750 crank: [image: f30e_35.JPG] If we put a piston on each conrod, and then put those pistons into their respective bores, I believe we would have two pistons at TDC and two pistons at BDC, the angle of…
