All 47- Just me on the Viffer. Nice!
- Engine Temp @ 100C aka 212F @ 100KM/hr aka 60M/hr I had similar symptoms with my 99, after running in stop and go traffic in hot weather it would subsequently run hotter than normal even at speed and the coolant would be low. I finally found a pin hole leak in the…
- Temp I saw 251 F many times before I installed a manual switch. Once the switch was installed I would flip it on whenever temp went above 210 F.

- Help needed - VFR dying after 75 minutes on interstate I went through 2 Lascar EMV 1200's in 15 years. They are not waterproof but I solved that with celophane tape. I also recommend the VFRness. I used a Yamaha R1 R/R from Ebay which I believe is the Shinidig (sp?) but it…
- Help needed - VFR dying after 75 minutes on interstate Every VFR should have an onboard voltmeter.
- Temp I do not doubt the competency of the Honda engineers but I do believe they make compromises. The 5th gen was based on a V-4 design that was intended to be competitive in Superbike racing. I don't think that parameter…
- Temp A point that has not been mentioned is the poor efficiency of the sideways facing radiators. In slow traffic the VFR is going to run hotter than most water cooled bikes. I found it necessary to install a manual radiator…

- Picture of 1998-1999 ignition switch connector 4 hours ago, artpongs Roland, Thank you for the reply please that could help me if you could take the time and snap a few pics of it for me. Art Here you go, Art. Checked the wiring diagram and these wire colors match…
- Picture of 1998-1999 ignition switch connector I no longer have my 99 but I still have the original main harness that I swapped out. I'd be happy to take take pictures but don't know what the ignition connector looks like. Let me know if I can help.
- Throttlemeister instructions 3 hours ago, nsr250 So no one has a set of instructions? I found this but it does not mention any washers or shims. I know the one I bought last April for my Concours had washers and shims. Maybe they have changed it…
- Throttlemeister instructions It should bear against the throttle tube. The rubber grip will compress and won't hold tight. I have gone through several sets of grips in a half million miles. Replacements come in different lengths and I have had to…
- Throttlemeister instructions Sorry to hear that! I have owned 4 sets of TMs over the years for 4 bikes including my 99 VFR, the last was purchased last year for my Concours. By that time I did not need any instructions! Basically the kit comes with…
- Throttlemeister instructions I cant find my instructions but I didn't bother to use them when I installed my second set. Just a matter of trying different combinations of washers and shims until the throttle holds tight when set and snaps closed…
- 10 amp fuse keeps blowing 1 hour ago, GleninAus You should have mentioned this but that fuse also does brake lights and the VFR has a stupid failure associated with this fuse blowing. OMG gee my VFR has another electrical problem. How unusual,…

- strange sound from front end 3 hours ago, hellindustries Depending on what you mean by a " chunking " sound, it could be the head-bearing. Does it happen when you apply brakes? Does it still happen if the engine is off? (roll the bike manually)…
- Causes For Excessive 5Th Gen Mileage I have had bad mileage issues due to both stuck thermostat and a dirty injector (two separate issues several years apart) The thermostat is a PIA to change. When my injector got dirty the first symptom I noticed was my…
- Overheating, Electrical Problems - Radiator Fan, Fuel Gauge, Indicators I replaced my fan motor switch last summer and the replacement has already failed. I am currently running with a manual switch. An auto mechanic friend told me that when a fan motor gets old it draws more current and…

- Need 5Th Gen Thermostat Replacement Diy The air temp sensor is in the right side inner side cowling. There are two snorkels. The flapper is in the one on the left. If it is still there and working I would keep it. I think the K&N will save you money in the…
- Need 5Th Gen Thermostat Replacement Diy The main challenge is removing the throttle body and re-installing the airbox, there are some good threads on doing that which should help. Once you get the TB out of your way it's just a matter of getting the hard old…
- Valve Adjustment (5Th Gen) 99 with 132,000 miles. Only the two #1 intakes are in a happy place. The 2 #2 intakes and the inboard # 4 intake are too tight. All the ex's are borderline, I am going to adjust them as well, plus the #4 ob intake and…
- The High Mileage Thread... What Do You Have On Your Vfr? My 99 has made it to a little over 132,000 miles.
- Valve check interval I did not vote as the format did not fit my history:20,000;35,000;46,000;70,000 miles. I changed 2 shims at 46,000.

- High Mileage '99 Vfr800 And Poor Fuel Economy. Update: I had a quick look under the tank today and did as veefercanuck suggested. There is clearly a smell of fresh fuel (or very rich exhaust?) coming from the right side of the bike, somewhere near the rear cylinder…
- Most miles on a 5th Gen? My 99 just hit 132,048 today but I noticed a problem that is going to prevent further miles until I fix it. Going to post for some help after I do a search.

- Car tires with Harbor Freight changer No I am not talking about putting a car tire on a bike wheel. I want to try changing a 205/45-17 for my wife's Miata. I have done a hundred 17" bike tires with it,including lots of 190/70s; don't see why it won't do the…
