Last 50 of 100- Stranded - Electrical help needed It was cold when I did the tests. But. . . I did do the Monitor wire thing and I did adjust the spades on the stator connection for snug fit. Between those two items the volts at Idle returned to a more acceptable 14.2V…
- Stranded - Electrical help needed Is there a test other than the diode check for the R/R? I'll re-test the stator with the engine running and see if the voltage increases with engine revs. Thanks for the link I was looking for that.
- Stranded - Electrical help needed The Stator Tested fine. .4/.5 Ohms across all three yellow wires. Nothing when going to ground. Here is the kicker, I turned the high beam on and at idle the Volts dropped to 12.8V and slowly worked back to 13.0V. With…
- Stranded - Electrical help needed Well, At least i wasn't alone in broke down book. My 03 VFR800A also died on memorial day but only 30 miles from home. The battery that was in it was likely 8-10 years old (I'm religious with my battery tender when…
- Cleaning Techniques? You can also get Kerosene at some gas stations....at least around me you can. It is normally in a pump by itself over in the corner and labelled K-1 Kerosene or something like that. I don't think Ive ever seen a gas…
- Cleaning Techniques? Soak Well with WD40 take ride to DIY car wash. set to hot w/ soap. Clean away. Rinse, Dry, Lube Chain.
- Car Wrap Or Plasti Dip For Hard Bags I've used both, They each have their own difficulties when applying. You'll have more color options with the wraps than plasti dip. When applied correctly with multiple light layers plasti Dip is pretty durable.
- New Leo SBK and PC III Install I have these same pipes in Carbon. I got them when they first came out so the price was up there still. But so worth it! :musik20: Enjoy!
- Delkevic Slip-on for 6th Gen That seem odd that they would make you drill the holes to mount the DB killers. Seems like something they should be doing at the factory.
- Fall is great for riding - except for the deer Same here. I'll be keeping it at home for a while. Needs an oil change and I have the PAIR block off plates to install yet.Had a close encounter last year as well. Was riding with two others over in the Loess Hills. I…
- Seat solution -- a bit weird but effective nonetheless Interesting. I love my Airhawk pad for the long hauls. Most people just don't know or forget the fact that they require very little air. I might give this a try to see if it changes anything for better or worse. Worse…
- Guess I should introduce myself Oooo Very nice! Welcome to the nut house.
- For those contemplating FMF on the 800... Those sound really good. Even better than My Carbon Leo Vince pipes i think. Look Better on the bike as well. They match the angled look of the panels
- And Now For Something Completely Different... Is there a PCIII on the bike? If so disconect the pcIII harness completely from the bike and put it back to stock. If you still have the problem you can rule out the PC causeing the issue. Do you have a noid light that…
- Goodbye vfr pictures of the crash??
- What's wrong with these pictures? Your front wheel is on backwards?
- installed pair block off plates, and a question I'll throw my two cents in on the Popping issues. My prior Bike an 04 Yamaha Roadstar 1700 was stock. But then I wanted more noise. So being the cheap person I am, drilled out the exhaust making it basically a straight…
- For those with lower pegs, what did you do for the brake lever? With my BLS lowering blocks, I just maxed out the adjuster. It seems to work for me. I think there is a way you can trim of some extra material from the adjuster screw to get a bit more out of it. BLS (buiylittleshop)…
- NEP or Vista I've got NEP. It is a care free devise the requires very little modification if any to work great. I couldn't live with out it on some of the long rides to the twistys. Nebraska is flat and streight.
- About 6th gen basics- luggage, seat, exhaust Most Aftermarket exhausts come with silencers now adays. My Leo Vince exhaust sounds great without them in. But If I need to Quiet it up a bit I can just slid those in and it is only a little louder than stock but with…
- V12X Drive By I think it is a nice looking bike. Better than the Ducati Multistrada anyhow. Is this one comeing to the States?
- 18 Tooth Front Sprocket Install If fuel economy is your game then you might consider a Vacuum gauge. So that when you're cuising the more vacuum you're pulling the better fuel economy you'll get. Sure you may have lowered your RPMs but how much…
- "Water proof" jacket - worth it or not? Deciding on a new jacket. I where the Joe rocket Phoenix 5.0 jacket. has an innner liner for the times that you might get a little wet. http://www.motorcycl...5-0-Jacket.aspx and their 3.0 pants http://www.motorcycl...-3-0-Pants.aspx are a nice…

- Helmet suggestions So I bought the New GMax GM69S helmet. It is a nice piece of kit but it has some draw backs. Being that it is noisy at anything above 50. The second is at 65 on up it starts whistling like Fred Lowery minus a good tune.…
- Advice needed on 2010 new VFR purchase The smokin deal is that it is a 2010 and they are trying to cut their losses and move on with the newer bikes. The 2012 had some nice updates I believe. Honda also seemed to over price it according to those in the know.…
- 'Quick' fixes to drop the running temp? Your bike would be one cold blooded SOB but have you thought about taking the T-stat out for track days?

- Bullsh***er's at work....post your snappy retorts. The group of people I ride with all have a faster bike except one. At the end of the day though they start asking to try mine out because their hands, knees, and butts can't take it any more. On a side note: I actually…
- thinking of buying a DCT I'm with MattB on this. check Craigslist for an 80's UJM. Really nice ones can be had for little money. The tech was simple and the power delivery isn't over whelming. Ride it for a year or so sell it and then step into…

- Who has two thumbs...bike is FIXED! : ) Ebay can be good. But you can never be positive about the amount of miles and abuse that clutch basket has been through. So in this case i would go with new. :lobby:
