All 38- Frame Heat So, I know that the frame is supposed to help dissipate heat from the engine, and I know that it gets hot, but I didn't think it gets scalding hot. A little bit of background. I recently had issues with my charging…
- Added Rear Lights Here is a daytime video. I noticed that it only adds a little more light during the day. The blinking in the video is only because they are LED's, real time they are solid red. The way I see it, added lighting to help…
- Added Rear Lights I'll work on a daytime video, and post it soon. As far as the pulsing, that is just a trick of the camera, I think because they are LED's. The company does produce a "modulating" kind if you are interested.
- Added Rear Lights I've been riding the bike to and from work more recently. I work evenings and sometimes they ask me to stay late so regardless it's always dark when I ride home. Recently I had a close call with someone who wasn't…
- eBay non-OEM mirrors I just bought a set of the EMGO replacement mirrors for my 1993. I got the idea from Rollin Again and his '93. I've only had them on for about 2 weeks but I feel as though I get better coverage than the stock. [image:…
- First Ride Finally got around to buy my daughter her own helmet, gloves, and jacket. Now she can ride with me. Took a trip to Cycle Gear. XS gear fit her perfectly. 1st ride was Thursday, she was grinning so big. I also bought a…
- Who is active in the northeast? I'm up on Cape Cod, MA.
- 3Rd Gen Budget Rigging. Great job so far, sorry to hear about the moron in the F-350. Keep up the good work.
- Vfr Photo Shoot Nice. Nuf said.
- 7 7 7 7 7 Not the same thing, but close. This is what I got a couple of weeks ago. Attached Images [image: IMG_0346.JPG]
- Advice On Bike Bags Took some pictures for you of my JR bag. Hope it helps [image: IMG 0340] IMG 0340 [image: IMG 0338] IMG 0338 [image: IMG 0336] IMG 0336
- Advice On Bike Bags I have that EXACT tank bag and like it a lot. I use it all the time. It's small enough that it doesn't interfere with the handlebars (I do have helibars), yet big enough to carry a few things. The top clear pocket is…
- Need To Source Carb Vacuum Ports I had the same problem with my 93, it had the screws in it and I had to take them out each time I synced the carbs. I just ordered all the stuff off of Bike Bandit for a 1994 for a heck of a lot cheaper and it fit right…
- R1 Suspension Upgrade For Christmas! (W/ Pics) Thanks for your service, keep your head down, and come home safe. MMCS(SS), USN Ret.
- Heli bars for 4th gen vfr 750 So, on Friday 9/14, my wife and I drove up to ME from CT to pick up my bike from HeliBars. It’s about a 4 hour drive (220 miles) each way. I called to make sure the bike was ready, and as promised, all was good. I…
- Heli bars for 4th gen vfr 750 I know this thread is a litle bit old, but I thought that it would be best here. Heli posted on the "other site" that they wanted a 3rd/4th gen to do R&D on so they could bring back the Heli-bars. I contacted them and…
- Honda VFR 750 RC36- Extremely high fuel consumption? - My temperature gage was running low. I knew that everthing was fine, but it was just reading low. I opened it up and there was corrosion all over the sensor. Tried to get it out, but destroyed it, so I replaced it and…
- Honda VFR 750 RC36- Extremely high fuel consumption? This sounds like exactly what another member is going through. If you haven't seen what I wrote there, here it is:…
- Solo riding on Freeway, joining or following ettiquette Seems like everyone is pretty much saying the same things, however, Olive said it best, Ride your own ride. I pretty much respect all other riders. When I come up on someone, freeway or not, I always take the other side…
- Carb work and PAIR delete worth it? My philosophy has always been, don't fix what aint broke. If the carbs are fine and you're getting good gas mileage, then don't rejet, just do the sync. You only need to rejet if you mess with another part of the system…
- First time VFR owner introduction Welcome aboard from another white 93. +1 to pretty much what everyone else has said. Oil, chain, etc. And if you have exhausted all other relatively easy avenues, replace the clutch plates. Who knows when the last time…
- 80 miles on a full tank? Sorry, just saw this thread. Nevermind, this was what was happening to me last season. I would only get about 100 miles and then the fuel light would come on. I figured I was getting about 28 mpg last season. I also had…
- Carb Maintenance So, after a little trial and error, I finally got everything tweaked in as close as I can with what equipment that I have. I took the bike out for a ride. The fuel light came on at 170 miles. I filled up at 180 miles…

- Carb Maintenance Got a question for the group. I've cleaned out the carbs on my 93 and performed the sync today. Everything went fine with my homemade sync tool, but there seems to be a little performance issue. From closed to 1/8th…
- I think my thermostat died :( Sounds like you got the carb problem fixed, but did you fix the temp issue? I had the same issue with mine. Turned out that the issue wasn't the thermostat, but the sensor that sends the signal to the gage. It was all…
- 4000 miles this summer and need gear. help me make decisions! Don't forget about the little things. A small first aid kit (couple of band-aids, etc.), tylenol/ibuprofin, Tums, pepto, immodium, you know, the basics. Oh, and a good flashlight. Never be without a good flashlight.…
- BT-016 Review I'm just now replacing my BT-016's with PR2's. I got two riding seasons and 10,500 miles out of the 016's. I ride 80% touring and 20% sport on the roads in mostly CT, but all New England. I figured it was pretty high…
- What map to buy, where to go on the map? Do you have AAA? If so, they offer free (I believe so) Trip Tik planners that have construction projects in them. I used one a couple of years ago on a trip from CT to FL. It was actually very handy. If not then I would…
- My $150 1992 VFR750! Hey, good job on the find. Just to let you know there is another member that is parting out his 91. His handle is vtwin650. Here is a link to his thread: Parting Out 1991 Hopefully this helps with the restoration. Good…
- Time to pack it in. I for one say that you have to do what you believe is right for you and your family. This goes for every decision that you make in life. Good luck, and I wish you the best.
- Burger Run II Saturday, Sept 4th Wish I could, I had a great time this last weekend. But, unfortunately, the wife has to work, so someone has to watch the kids. Stay safe. Adam
- Need less vibration from my 2006. Check everything first before introducing something new. Over the years I've been taught to go to the root of the problem. So, where does the vibration come from? Have you checked the engine mounts? Have you done any…

- 1993 vfr750 rebuild. The other thing you might want to check/upgrade is the Regulator/Rectifier. Gen 3's are pretty notorious for crapping out. Plastics and tank, keep checking e-bay. 2 months ago there was a guy in NJ parting out his 93.…
- Decals: replacement or OEM? I just bought sticker for my 93 from here: Extreme Decals They were very good with time frame. They hand make the sticker to the colors that you choose. From when I ordered to receiving was about 2 weeks. Hope it helps.
