  1. How to recharge old K&N filter 17 Aug 2017 05:33 The guy from the service shop in my city told me to use break disk cleaner - the filter will return to its original color:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. What if I remove the catalytic convertor? 13 Aug 2017 09:58 My intention was not to make it seem that the riding is impossible but the well being on a cat exhaust is better. The difference can be observed while standing behind a car with and one without cat (running on…
  3. What if I remove the catalytic convertor? 6 Aug 2017 05:59 The gain from removing the convertor is not great comparing with the fact that you, and your passanger mostly, will get choked with the exhaust gases when stopped or going very slow on traffic. Due to an accident I have…
  4. Am I Crazy? Most Possbly Yes 22 Dec 2016 07:08 In case you do not know, the Toro supercharger kit is no longer available. Should you find alternative solutions, please let us know - a lot of people want it, myself included.
  5. 6Th Gen: Led Headlight Conversion 22 Sep 2014 18:44 ciprinakos No night time pic's of your headlight setup ? Here it is: [image: IMG_0570.JPG] My iphone 4 pictures suck but you can get an idea. Running in paralel with a stock VFR '06, his lights were almost invisible.
  6. 6Th Gen: Led Headlight Conversion 14 Sep 2014 17:53 Switchblade ciprinakos No night time pic's of your headlight setup ? ... Didn't think to make any. Will do soon. :)
  7. Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? 12 Sep 2014 22:15 LSL kit and a big rounded handlebar brought the grips really high and backwards that I can simply stay straight in the saddle - with a modified Vario-Touring screen I have no problems going 130km/h or riding 12 hrs with…
  8. 6Th Gen: Led Headlight Conversion 12 Sep 2014 21:48 I personally recommend getting projectors if you're concerned about light scattering. In the search for better light at night, I got myself 4 Bi-Xenon projectors in my '03 VFR so I can use either 2 or 4 Low at the touch…
  9. 6Th Gen: Gold Valve Install Question 18 Jun 2014 19:17 I did the drilling on the valves as instructed by the instruction sheet that came with the valves and it works great for me. The shimm arrangement was done as well as per RaceTech on-line calculations and the table…
  10. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 18 Jun 2014 18:58 For me, Wilbers springs & RaceTech valves combined with a Wilbers rear (with separate reservoir) did the trick nicely. I got it set up acc to my needs & I'm happy. I will not look too soon for another fork upgrade. Last…
  11. 6Th Gen Huggers 8 Dec 2013 15:38 tbzep HighwayStar2009 Since installing the Competition Werkes fender kit on my '09, the road debris mainly flings up on the tail light and inside of the pipes. Once in a while I'll wipe off the little mud flap in front…
  12. Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 3 Jul 2013 09:14 I have Pirelli Scorpion Trail, made for Ducati Multistrada, and they are great for both road & soft off-road. Check this out:…
  13. Cool Tip: Replacing Tail Light Bulb... With Turn Signal Bulb :) 23 Jun 2013 13:50 After getting it out with some difficulty, to do it easy next time, don't forget to use a bit of grease on the rubber seal - at least that's what I did...
  14. Hid Projector Headlights 16 Jun 2013 16:39 Here's how it looks like - was using only the lower lights at that time - http://www.vfrdiscus...fest-constanta/
  15. Hid Projector Headlights 24 May 2013 19:02 They are a combination of Madhead & Acerbis ( http://www.louis.de/...tnr_gr=10019605 - http://www.louis.de/...tnr_gr=10019645 ) and they can't be used on stock bars because they are too short. I have a pretty large &…
  16. Hid Projector Headlights 24 May 2013 15:21 Here's my newly finished project. I kicked out the led strips. More picture sometime later (next week). [image: Headlights] Headlights I've mounted 4 bi xenon projectors with blue angel eyes and red devil eyes. They can…
  17. Hid Projector Headlights 13 May 2013 21:21 My project is still unfinished. I decided, when I'll start working, to ditch the LED strips. Just the projectors are good enough. I'm still waiting for one of the bulb's replacement (one was busted on first firing - bad…
  18. Fan Control - Choose To Turn Fan On Or Off Or Allow The Bike To Control 12 May 2013 06:22 Arri A conmutator to change fan rotation direction with led indicator (thanks to holleros) [image: wwXA7.jpg] The power/current draw will fry up your switch. Not sure how much is the amperage of the blower's motor but…
  19. Fan Control - Choose To Turn Fan On Or Off Or Allow The Bike To Control 11 May 2013 16:54 I have made this mod a while ago & is great in summer city's heavy traffic. You can see it (if you try a little harder) on the left side of the (black plastic) dashboard with a small LED on op of it:…
  20. Lsl Superbike Bar Conversion - 5Th Gen 26 Apr 2013 19:43 to our friend in Romania...Can't think of anyone here that has found it necessary to install a steering damper on a VFR...but from the looks of your mod list you will likely be the first. Sorry to disappoint but I can't…
  21. Hid Projector Headlights 26 Apr 2013 19:15 The answer is no, I did not get the HID harnes from you. I'm a seaman and last year, while going (regularly) to Hueneme, I got the agent to order the VFRness bundle for me. I received from the ebay seller that sold me…
  22. Hid Projector Headlights 25 Apr 2013 20:56 The most difficult thing was to fit all the wires, ballast and igniters under the fairing. Unfortunately one 4300K was busted so I need to find a replacement. I'll need to make a beam adjustment and I should be good to…
  23. Hid Projector Headlights 17 Apr 2013 20:39 ... project ... in progress ... (the dirty spots & splashes are dead insects from the week end ride) [image: post-17864-0-00929400-1366231048.jpg] [image: post-17864-0-72898100-1366231066.jpg]
  24. Lsl Superbike Bar Conversion - 5Th Gen 29 Mar 2013 14:29 There is only one downside - if you'll ever think of getting steering damper you'll be hard pressed where to put it. Otherwise this setup is much more comfortable. Cheers!
  25. Another Suspension Rebuild 2010 Vfr800 Vtec 23 Feb 2013 11:31 Question: "external adjustment caps in the front" - how do they look like and from where? I intended to get the internals grom an F4i to achieve rebound adjustment. Thanks.
  26. retrofiting a CBR steering dampener 19 Oct 2012 13:39 Steering damper will help in case of troubles. To me it happened to have a failure of the front tire valve. I was running with 140 km/h and experienced a sudden & heavy handlebar shake/tank slapper. Luckily I paid…
  27. Digital Gear Indicator for 6th Gen 19 Oct 2012 13:22 If you go for Healtech's Gipro, be mindful that is a different type for 6th gen before & after '06. That's due to the fact that on after '06 the connection is made directly into service connector (computation info is…
  28. Steel Braided Lines 24 Sep 2012 15:06 Here's how they look on my bike (I still need to muster the right mood to put also the rear ones...): http://www.vfrdiscus...-hel-brake-kit/ http://www.vfrdiscus...-hel-brake-kit/ Cheers!
  29. Any benefit to O2 bypass without a Power Commander or exhaust? 14 Sep 2012 09:35 It will get rid of the surging in lower revs, as the colleague said above but overall the consumption will slightly increase because now the ECU can't make the fine adjustments in the fueling due to no/false reading of…
  30. Steel Braided Lines 7 Sep 2012 07:00 I forgot to mention that for the brake and clutch hoses (the ones coming from the handlebars) I've asked them to be made about 10cm longer due to mounting of a high & wide superbike handlebar. They did it without any…
  31. Steel Braided Lines 5 Sep 2012 19:54 I have Hel and they are great. The kit comes with everything you need (including banjos and copper washers) except instructions on which line is which. Took me some time to figure them out but they are great. Not only…
  32. bike fine, turn on lights and dies 19 Aug 2012 20:10 I had a similar problem until few days ago when I've installed a VFRness and placed the headlight's on different circuits from the original (directly to battery via their own fuses). VFRness bundle comes with a second…
  33. 6th Gen Rebuild Project 4 Aug 2012 19:18 Good luck, lot a patience and full use of Service Manual which can be downloaded here on vfrdiscussion. Seeing your pictures surely brigs back memories. Due to back kissing a car behind at over 100km/h (60 mph) my…
  34. VFR 800 Vtec A Screen modifications 3 Aug 2012 19:35 "... adjustable deflector upside down ..."? How come? Can you post a picture, please? Thanks!
  35. VTEC suspension upgrade / overhaul. 29 May 2012 19:57 Thanks a lot. I'll study & try to have some fun with suspension when I'll get home.
  36. VTEC suspension upgrade / overhaul. 29 May 2012 06:52 Hi to all, since I was with work in US, I took the opportunity to get myself the Race Tech Fork Gold Compression and Rebound Valves. I got the package with some instruction sheets and a DVD. All nice and fine but when I…
  37. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 14 Mar 2012 11:54 ggathagan ciprinakos Did anybody did the front end conversion on an ABS VFR? Preserving the ABS is what's keeping me from atempting the upgrade. From what i've seen on this topic all the modified bikes were non ABS. CBS…

  39. Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 15 Nov 2011 12:44 Depends on the season and the roads you're going. In the image is a Pirelli Corsa RS
  40. 6th Gen (06+) Diagnostic Link Connector (DLC) pinout and signalling 14 Nov 2011 10:43 Hi to all, does anybody know if it's possible to make a DLC conector also on '02-'05 VFRs by wiring up the ECU's A30 & B19? The other two should be easy since the '02-'05 models are already using the same signal wires:…
  41. Police style crash bars 30 Mar 2011 08:32 Hi, anybody know where such crash bars can be found? :computer-noworky: Although I have crash sliders (home) made by duramid (a near steel strong plastic type) I would prefer to have some crash bars as the ones shown in…
  42. VTEC-SC... 14 Sep 2010 15:25 The SC kit is already quoted here: http://www.aaperf.com/vfrkit-gen6.html I will get one next year, hopefully :fing02:
  43. VTEC-SC... 31 Aug 2010 06:49 Thanks! It's actually not a very big deal. I need to replace the front suspension tubes and the headlights. I was running with some cheap fiber glass faring & I have the originals intact. Otherwise, wearing a full…
  44. VTEC-SC... 30 Aug 2010 06:39 I've just crashed my VFR :wacko: so i will delay the charger kit. I was so looking forward for it... :pissed:
  45. VTEC-SC... 10 Aug 2010 22:33 Looks great both the bike & the charts. I'll have 2 start stack up the $ & by autumn to get one kit 4 myself :bliss: I don't think the ABS's electric wires/harness will be a problem.
  46. VTEC-SC... 16 Jun 2010 11:31 [image: View Post]VifferDude, on 16 June 2010 - 12:42 AM, said: The oil preassure that activates the VTEC pin is controlled by a solanoid which is "electronic". I've been waiting forever and a day!. The timing of this…
