Last 50 of 51- Problems Finding And Downloading Power Commander 3 Usb Maps For 5Th Gen (1998) Can't you download the 101-003 map to your power commander, then upload the values using the Save As command with a different name? Should give you a new file containing all the same values as the original.
- Electronic Cruise Control The link that CCRC46 posted has a button that opens the user manual for the YouTune. The module has three buttons on it, Mode, + and -. Pressing the - button for 2 seconds when it's in rpm mode will hold the RPM at its…
- 15Mpg? Omg...fml Hey Rush, Grum cleared it up. Was talking about the ECT sensor. Just wanted to point out that the dash display may not be an accurate representation of what the ECU is seeing.
- 15Mpg? Omg...fml I know very little about the 1200 so take this with a large grain of salt... On the VTEC, which is not the bike you're riding, the temperature sensor has two outputs, one for the dash display and one for the ECU. If…
- Know How To Reset This Alternate Honda Plastic Rivet Clip? Yeah, it's not clear there. Think I had to sort them by type, count them, then count the ones in the picture to figure it out. Think the long ones go in the low positions on the front edge, the short ones go in the top…
- Know How To Reset This Alternate Honda Plastic Rivet Clip? Think the owner's manual has a diagram showing which bolts go where. It's in the section about removing the fairings. Lists them as A,B and C types, but that's easy to figure out from the number of each.
- Plug Replacement -- Irridiums Worth It? Check around for a diesel repair shop, they'll be able to clean and measure flow rates. You'll have to prepare for comments about your tiny injectors though. It would seem that heavy equipment injectors have a touch…
- 2006 Vfr Dash, Brake Lights And Headlights Fuse Keeps Blowing! Had the same problem with my turn signal fuse. Was the same as the others here. I'd rotated the levers down to ease the wrist angle and it created a short when I signalled. Was annoying because the problem was in the…
- Talk To Me About Fuse Blocks And Relays For one of your original questions re relays, they are what provide the switched power. The relay has two parts, a low power coil that is an electromagnet and switched contacts for the high power side. The low power…
- P.e.i. / Nova Scotia Riding ? Lot of people like the loop around Peggy's Cove, but there's a lot of traffic on it. Taking the loop around the other side of St. Margaret's Bay is a nice ride around the Aspotogan peninsula, but can get trafficky. Good…
- Carb/starter Valve Synchronizer Tool Question I have the Motion Pro. It'll do the job, but there are two things I ran into. Neither was a big problem. 1. The markings up the side are just evenly spaced marks and don't necessarily correspond to any standard units.…
- Surging Surging Surging! Some EFI systems will keep the injectors open longer when the battery is low. Rationale is the lower voltage will result in the injector solenoid operating more slowly than normal, so leaving it open longer will…
- Sick Of My Honda Would like a 724, but MSRP on those in Canada is 3099. We have a slightly different lineup here with the 622 as the entry model. It's a two-stage, tracked blower that's direct drive (no belts!). Still 2049, but after…
- Sick Of My Honda Good call. Worklight AND wind/snow protection. Is that a touring screen? :o)
- Sick Of My Honda I hear you. We got about 50" so far this week with another 4-6" coming tonight. Garage is snowed in. Heat pump compressor (mounted at chest height) is now below ground level. Lawn is six feet down. This time last year I…
- Loading Into Truck I just use the straps to keep the lip of the ramp from sliding backwards off the tailgate and depositing everything on the ground in a heap. That's why strapping it to the bumper works. The ramp can hold itself - straps…
- Loading Into Truck Tacoma has a couple of d rings in the back corners that are handy. If you don't have rings you can clip onto the latch hooks for the tail gate if you need to go over the top of the tailgate, or hook onto the bumper if…
- Loading Into Truck A ramp that's wide enough for you to walk up beside the bike is really nice. Otherwise, a milk crate/stool/MX stand next to it to help you make the step up to the tailgate really helps. The bars get pretty high pretty…
- Loading Into Truck Folding ramp and a canyon dancer?
- Sport Touring Boots That You Can Walk A Mile In The Gore-Tex is pretty nice. Gets a little warm in the middle of summer, but it's great for the cooler days. For me, the waterproofing makes up for some extra warmth. The sizing on the AStars stuff varies from boot to…
- Sport Touring Boots That You Can Walk A Mile In I've had Alpinestars Web boots for several years now. Dry, warm and very comfortable for riding and walking. Not sure about traction for serious hiking though. They've held up well, think I got them in 07.
- Winter Mods Installed a heater in the garage. Favouritest mod yet!
- My Journey Into Custom Paint. I used to crew up there regularly a few years back but got side tracked with other stuff for a bit. Hoping to get up a couple of times this summer again though. It's a good time.
- My Journey Into Custom Paint. Really nice job on the paint. Are you planning on all the rounds at Shubie this summer?
- 2014 Vfr800Fe Snatchy Throttle Response My 09 had a horribly snatchy throttle due to an overly rich mixture. Spent a long time chasing through the fuelling system and electronics without much improvement. I finally discovered that the clamps on the throttle…
- Pazzo Lever Question Mine did the same thing. Wasn't too much of an issue as I normally started the bike in neutral. When I stalled I'd just hit the adjuster with my finger and move the lever out to a spot where it would engage the switch.…
- Ecu Reflash For The 06-09 Vfr800 Adding a long term fuel trim may fix a lot of the fuelling issues people have had on some bikes.
- 6Th Gen Getting ~30Mpg...? What's a warm-up signal from the TPS? Kinda sounds like muffler bearings and headlight fluid... :s
- 6Th Gen Getting ~30Mpg...? Was that dyno run done with the O2 sensors connected and the temp above 76 C? My 09 sounds a lot like yours. I rarely see 200 km (125 mi?) to a tank and haven't since new. I thought the injectors may flow more fuel than…
- But Why? Who's Going To Buy One? Nobody. I dug out the paperwork for my 09 800. MSRP for that was 14,699. New bike MSRP is 14,499 here. 200 less and you get heated grips, gear indicator, tc, updated (and hopefully better) fuelling and adjustable seat. New…
- 2014 Vfr Coming To America! Looks like Canada only gets the deluxe version at 14,500. Not that much more than the 09s were going for. Heated grips and standard abs are nice.
- Power Commander Maps 09Vfr800A.zip File Name : 09vfr800a.zip File Submitter : dawson File Submitted : 15 Aug 2013 File Category : Power Commander Maps A zip file containing some log files generated by a DynoJet LCD-200. Files include data on AFR, TPS,…
- Lung Chopping Time Best of luck, we'll be thinking of you here.
- Compression Test Fuel pressure was at 37 psi, the manual specs 38 i think? I got the hollow banjo from my dealer, brazed a Schrader valve into the end and hooked my fuel gauge into that. I'll give the IAT a shot, but shouldn't it…
- Compression Test Thanks kal, good to know that it's not just the desk job catching up to me. Bike feels sluggish to me. Need second gear to get to 100 kph, recently long stretch to let it run and it topped out well below the advertised…
- Compression Test Yep, we're on the same page. Put a PCV on last year, noticed the fuel in the oil, checked the FPR, fuel rail pressure, checked the injectors for leaks, put the bike back to stock less the PAIR and it's still over…
- Compression Test Forgot to open the throttle. Rechecked two cyls, it went up to 90 on both. Engine is now cool. Shouldn't compression be higher when warm? Cogswell, checking compression due to gas appearing in the crank case. Bike runs…
- Compression Test The adapter showed up, it was a 10" hose with the male 10mm, 1.0 pitch thread on one end and a quick release M type male end on the other. Naturally, my guage uses a different style quick release, but I found an M…
- Compression Test Turns out the plug hole is 10 mm. Oops. Dealer sells a hose with the right thread on one end and a quick release fitting that should work with my gauge on the other. They didn't have any in stock but it should be in…
- Compression Test Tried the local crappy tire with no luck. They're not really a serious store any more though. Had to explain what a tire iron was to the kid on the parts counter there last year. He'd never heard of such a thing. :o(…
- Compression Test Tried to do a compression test today and discovered that my gauge doesn't have an adapter small enough for the tiny little plugs on my 09 vtec. Has anyone seen any adapters that will go from a 12/14 mm gauge to a 9mm…
- 6Th Gen Fuel Gauge Question Yep, all normal. It's a sneaky way of creating the blink effect when the fuel is low. When the segment is active, your grey bit is covered by the liquid crystal and all looks normal. When you get down on fuel, the ECU…
- My (Longwinded) Theory @ Auspañol Thanks! I spent a while going through it before posting to try to get my throughts to come out right. I think the PAIR block off would definitely smooth the throttle. When the PAIR valve opens after the…
- My (Longwinded) Theory @spud786 You're right, cozye did develop his map for the 02-05, so It wouldn't work as well on the 06+ models. I looked through it before I installed it, and there weren't any drastic modifications that would have…
- My (Longwinded) Theory It's pretty easy to fix with a power commander, but the commander would have to be set up for that particular bike, either on a dyno or with an autotune. Using a map that was developed for another bike would work if the…
- My (Longwinded) Theory Well... A couple of years ago I bought a 6th gen VFR. I'd been looking at them for years and really figured that it was the bike for me, ie decently sporty, mostly comfortable and had hard bags. I have a tendency to…
- A trying weekend to say the least If you're looking for someone in Halifax to redo your bags, there's a local guy who does a lot of work on bike fairings. Mainly race bikes, but some street stuff too. He's done some stuff for me and it's all turned out…
- Harley makes boats? A Harley that was washed off to sea when the tsunami hit Japan showed up on a beach in BC. http://www.cbc.ca/ne...ycle-owner.html
- Quick shifter for carbed bike My buddy runs a Battle Shifter on his (carburetted) RS125. It uses a shift rod with an integrated switch to signal when to cut the ignition. It also taps into the tach pulses and automatically varies the length of the…
- Helmet weight The HJC RPS-10 is really light and flows quite a bit of air when the vents are open. The materials and finish are significantly better than their entry level offerings, comparable to my old Shoei XPS-2. I take a medium…
