  1. Headers/exhaust Advice For Vfr-750 (95') 19 Sep 2013 06:49 Yeah, i have a serious feeling these motor will just LOVE boost, its just a matter of getting around the space constraints. I'm honestly thinking two tiny turbochargers a bit bigger than a beer can at this point. i'm…
  2. Headers/exhaust Advice For Vfr-750 (95') 19 Sep 2013 05:59 Exhaust options are just plain tough for our bikes, the only decent performance options are big money. Some time in the future I plan on buying a 1998 header from a 5g viffer and see if i can't massage it onto my 95.…
  3. My 12.7V Woes 14 Sep 2013 05:52 When you're done messing around, get yourself a mosfet r/r from a R1, or another source new. Wire it straight to the battery, and your problems will be solved. i have some other things involved too because I rebuilt the…
  4. Suspension Failed On My 2011 Vfr800 With 10,000Km On The Clock 11 Sep 2013 09:48 Think about upgrading the springs in the front as well to match the rear upgrade. Maybe even the racetech emulators. If you're replacing the rear shock, I would go with an upgrade as well. The OEM one mentioned would…
  5. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 9 Sep 2013 16:43 I think I use my hot glue gun more than any other tool, fastener, sticky thing in my house/shop. Those things are so useful, and the glue will peel off almost anything except fabric without hurting anything.
  6. How To Grease The Front Brake Slider Pins 21 Aug 2013 14:11 The pad pins are plated, but as soon as the bike has been used at all the plating is worn off where the pads slide, so you aren't hurting anything by polishing them. Maybe don't do it if you plan to never touch the…
  7. Flutteringrattling noise from engine while under load at half throttle 15 Aug 2013 11:29 Since you own a couple boosted cars I assume you are familiar with the sound of detonation? I know you said thats not it, but I'll be damned if what you're describing doesn't sound exactly detonation.
  8. Power Commander V - Not Impressed 19 Jul 2013 16:46 LOL at inappropriate.. I don't think there was any hostility in the statement, and that word by itself, while used in that context, wouldn't even raise an eyebrow on the disney channel.. Just Keep an ear open and ask…
  9. Power Commander V - Not Impressed 19 Jul 2013 10:09 A Power Commander is not a slip-on or a K&N, it needs to be setup by an expert. Don't listen to these guys who use other peoples tunes and auto-tune, they just have themselves convinced their bikes are running better to…
  10. Power Commander V - Not Impressed 19 Jul 2013 07:18 A Power Commander is not a slip-on or a K&N, it needs to be setup by an expert. Don't listen to these guys who use other peoples tunes and auto-tune, they just have themselves convinced their bikes are running better to…
  11. Powdercoating Rims: Dangerous? 14 Jul 2013 15:31 I just did my rear wheel a few weeks ago. I use powders from Columbia coatings. 380-400f for 20 minutes after part reaches temp. The key is to let it cool down slowly. I just shut off the oven and crack the door. I dont…
  12. Vfr848Rr Anyone ? 4 Jul 2013 01:44 I have an extra motor that needs to be rebuilt, I'm very interested in this. Maybe the thing to do would be to have a custom copper headgasket made by somebody like these guys : http://www.coppergaskets.us/MCG.html
  13. Brake And Clutch Lines - How To Tell If Your Lines Are Free Of Air Bubbles? 30 Jun 2013 19:30 If you've bled until no air bubbles were coming out with fluid you'll most likely be fine. If you've done some emergency braking and everything worked well, I wouldn't worry. Most of that talk is from people who don't…
  14. Perpetually Loose Chain 29 May 2013 22:30 Yeah, my beat to crap chain does the same thing. Its come to a point where I just let it stay loose because it only goes to a certain point and then seesm to stay there, but every time I have tightened it, it has gotten…
  15. Powdercoating Rims: Dangerous? 25 May 2013 12:25 I am in actually in the midst of starting a powdercoating business, and I for one can tell you that you should find yourself a new powdercoat shop/person. There is a lot of fear in the market about this particular…
  16. Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica 21 May 2013 19:58 Wow, I really want that tail for my bike. I'm gonna look for it.
  17. Quick 1999 Vfr800 Stator Question 18 May 2013 23:34 Update: I recevied the VFRness the other day and installed it this morning. 14.5V at RPM right away. I took it for an 80+ mile ride (plenty long to see the usual failure, I think) adn it stuck to 14.4-14.5V at RPM and…
  18. Help! 3 Yellow Wire "stator" Plug Cooking... Fixes? 18 May 2013 07:47 Only bad thing about hard soldering the connections, when comes time to test the stator you have to cut or unsolder it to test the grounding. Unfortunately that testing will not be remote or a rare occasion. Its the…
  19. Help! 3 Yellow Wire "stator" Plug Cooking... Fixes? 17 May 2013 20:25 Ditch the dielectric, it does not promote good connections, it is actually an insulator, and not a conductor, I know people swear by it, but unless its a connection which has a serious corrosion problem, its not really…
  20. Two Leftover Pieces From Carb Rebuild. What Are They? 1 May 2013 06:09 Those two pieces definitely fit together, its the bracketry to hold your choke cable in place, go take your carbs back apart.
  21. R/R warning 30 Apr 2013 00:24 Yeah, I've always used the 2a setting on my automotive battery charger to charge my bike batteries, never had a problem. It is a smart charger though and shuts off when battery has a full charge.
  22. R And R For My Vfr 29 Apr 2013 09:59 Awesome work, man! I'm following along closely, as I have also been planning a refresh of my '95. Weird how similar they look at the moment. Good to see yours come back together relatively quickly. What is your plan for…
  23. R And R For My Vfr 23 Apr 2013 15:13 Slid forks up 3/4" yesterday and went for a ride, not much of a difference, initial turn in is a little faster, but its still not holding a tight enough circle, guess I'll keep going down.. I have a zip tie one one fork…
  24. 10 Second Vfr 22 Apr 2013 10:55 Nice job and congrats! 10.9 with a 1/2 second reaction time, might be able to shave a tenth or 2 with a quicker lauch response. He's racing on a pro tree here, so his reaction times are actually much better as the pro…
  25. R And R For My Vfr 22 Apr 2013 04:53 I imagine its going to be fairly hot considering the winter we had this year, or lack thereof.. Past couple years have been trending that way. Its not really that bad though, every time I think its unbearable I end up…
  26. Quick 1999 Vfr800 Stator Question 21 Apr 2013 17:54 If you're careful and the gasket isn't super bonded to the cover, you can usually save them and re-use them.
  27. Clutch Rebuild Kit 21 Apr 2013 17:49 Barnett is great stuff and its reasonably priced. I wouldn't hesitate to buy.
  28. 10 Second Vfr 21 Apr 2013 07:46 Hell yeah, bro! Good job. I would say the bike definitely has more in it, especially with a mid 1.8 60 foot. Oughta be able to get that down to a flat 1.7 or better. Have you experimented with lower tire pressure yet?…
  29. R And R For My Vfr 18 Apr 2013 21:15 Oh, and the Mosfet R1 R/R, let me tell you, doesn't even get warm, while the last stock honda one got warm as the engine did. This thing stays cold, it also hold a constant 14.4 volts from idle to redline.
  30. R And R For My Vfr 18 Apr 2013 18:22 Bike is RUNNING! Took it for a little shakedown up and down the driveway, running like a top, apparently all my harness upgrades went seamlessly, I was skeptical.. Not exactly a wiring master over here. Still need to…
  31. Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? 17 Apr 2013 15:52 I'm a big fan of the XR1200 [image: post-22106-0-34427000-1366213700.jpg] Also used to ride a Buell S2 Thunderbolt and I was quite fond of it, handled great, and surprised more than a few 600's in a straight line..…
  32. Working On The 94 16 Apr 2013 16:21 You're doing a CDI conversion?
  33. R And R For My Vfr 13 Apr 2013 23:37 Finally taping my harness back up!
  34. R And R For My Vfr 13 Apr 2013 03:31 I don't remember if you are running the stock forks or not, but 150 sounds low to me. Maybe someone else can confirm. I think it was closer to 130 for stock spec. Stock spec is 177 actually. I know thats way low, so I…
  35. Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? 12 Apr 2013 23:53 There was a guy (friend of a friend) that was talking all kinds of shit about how his 1200 skirtster eats GSXRs all day and is so fast and he'll race anyone for titles, blah, blah, blah.. I told him my bike couldn't…
  36. Adding Superbike Bars To Your Bike 12 Apr 2013 11:05 Pretty sure the Hawk had clip ons and not handlebars..? Not 100%
  37. Speed And Mpg Psa 7 Apr 2013 17:04 Running WFO makes your fuel disappear fast. When Honda did their 24 hour world speed record using the 1986 VFR750, they had to pit in less than 30 mins or run out of fuel. http://www.motoretro...fastest_day.pdf where is…
  38. Replacing Steering Head Bearings With Roller Bearings? 1 Apr 2013 20:48 I'll try and remember to get a measurement when I do mine.
  39. Replacing Steering Head Bearings With Roller Bearings? 31 Mar 2013 18:41 Very common modification around here, I'm about to install my first set in the next few day. Edited March 31, 2013 by NakedViffer
  40. Stator Rewinding 31 Mar 2013 17:08 sudo I finally got my stator back from Gary last week. Total turnaround time including shipping both ways was 15 days. Strangely, he still hasn't cashed the personal check that I sent along with my stator. The stator…
  41. Vtec Shock Options 30 Mar 2013 03:36 91talon JamieDaugherty 91talon Lint 05 VFR. This question probably has been answered already, but I weigh around 270lbs and losing weight, thank God! But with my leather, I am closer to 290 right now. Could a CBR1100XX…
  42. Corner Carver Made Me Do It 24 Mar 2013 00:14 When I very first glanced at this, I thought you had painted the Seca RWB, hahah. Is it time for some flat black creativity?
  43. Vtec Shock Options 22 Mar 2013 18:00 Also you'll have to forgive me for being backwards about top and bottom, I've been doing automotive suspension way longer, and its never upside down.
  44. Vtec Shock Options 22 Mar 2013 15:26 I don't know, I guess I'm just trying to make myself feel better. I buy and sell quite a bit, and I sold one of the base models like that years ago and I listed it as being fully adjustable. I didn't even know what it…
  45. Vtec Shock Options 22 Mar 2013 03:23 Do you see that split black ring with the notches at the TOP of the shock? I guess, from what I can remember, that may be the rebound on the bottom, and the compression is the black knob, I don't think its actually…
  46. Vtec Shock Options 21 Mar 2013 21:35 Hotbrakes ronimalvfr Has anybody heard of or done business with this place? Looks like a pretty good deal for an Ohlins.…
  47. Clutch Slave Leak 19 Mar 2013 23:28 To be completely honest, I usually buy whats cheapest. I've used everything, including OEM, and I've never seen a real difference.
  48. Clutch Slave Leak 19 Mar 2013 21:36 If its leaking fluid I'd say it needs a rebuild, there is a gasket between the slave and sprocket cover, but it doesn't hold any fluid or anything. You can unbolt the three bolts holding it on and it will still be…
  49. (R/r's) Mosfet + Shunt + Series + Compu-Fire + Factory + Aftermarket + Where To Buy = Overwhelming Confusion ! 18 Mar 2013 18:22 That kit actually isn't priced too bad. I ended up paying about $90 for just the R1 R/R and the connectors from Eastern Beaver. And I got the 04-06 model FH011, which I am going to need to shave the fins on before I can…
  50. Another f4i shock 6th gen conversion 17 Mar 2013 21:07 Yes, the screw on the outside that goes 1.5 turns either way is the compression damping adjustment. Make sure not to tighten it to either side, it has a tapered needle at the end and it can be damaged.
