  1. 2,000 RPM idle driving me nuts! 14 Mar 2020 01:49 Folks, It's fixed! Thanks for all your suggestions. Sorry for the delay in replying. I to wanted to get to the bottom of this before replying. Since my last post (with the eBay throttle body on) I tried disconnecting…
  2. 2,000 RPM idle driving me nuts! 18 Feb 2020 04:39 1 hour ago, RC36B Could this be missing/faulty engine temperature sensor resulting in mis-adjusted idle? Would that not cause the MIL to come on? I've checked for DTC error codes are there aren't any. Thanks for the…
  3. 2,000 RPM idle driving me nuts! 18 Feb 2020 00:34 39 minutes ago, TheDutchy Not sure on VFR1200 series, I never did any work on them. But you did say you swapped the throttle bodies. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the VFR1200 has a TPS sensor.. TPS- thottle position…
  4. 2,000 RPM idle driving me nuts! 17 Feb 2020 22:30 2 hours ago, BusyLittleShop The dead give away of an air leak on a Fi engine is high uncontrolled idle... on a fuel injection system *any* air that gets past the throttle bodies the map just adds the corresponding…
  5. 2,000 RPM idle driving me nuts! 17 Feb 2020 07:22 Edit: sorry, I just realized I had not stated that I have a VFR 1200. I've edited the original post too. Thanks guys. @Fritzer, I don't see a download for the 2014 VFR 1200, just for the VFR800. As far as I know, the…
  6. 2,000 RPM idle driving me nuts! 17 Feb 2020 04:39 After 115,000 miles with everything running perfectly, I stripped everything down my VFR 1200 to change the plugs and check the valve clearances. The old plugs were a perfect light-brown color and all valve clearances…
  7. VFR1200F Valve Inspection 15 Jun 2013 04:37 Thanks for your reply HispanicSlammer.
  8. VFR1200F Valve Inspection 11 Jun 2013 19:25 I'm in the middle of checking my valves. What a PITA getting the front cover off! In this thread, a few of you said your clearances were out on the exhaust valves but didn't say whether they were tight or loose. I'm…
  9. Ohlins Spring Rates 14 Jan 2013 22:44 UPDATE I finally got my shock back from Ohlins with the 1200 lb spring. It took me about 5 hours to install start to finish. I would be much quicker a 2nd time. I struggled to get the old shock out the bottom until I…
  10. Ohlins Spring Rates 13 Jan 2013 22:01 UPDATE I finally got my shock back from Ohlins with the 1200 lb spring. It took me about 5 hours to install start to finish. I would be much quicker a 2nd time. I struggled to get the old shock out the bottom until I…
  11. Ohlins Spring Rates 17 Dec 2012 01:29 So the saga continues.... I went into Evolution Motorcycles in San Jose ( http://www.evolution-motorcycles.com/ ) on Friday to discuss fork upgrades. They have a good reputation for suspension work but I personally…
  12. Ohlins Spring Rates 13 Dec 2012 18:50 Guys, Just been on the phone with Matt from Ohlins for about 30 mins. He's a very knowledgeable & helpful guy but I'm more confused than ever! He's willing to change out my spring for a 200 or 210N/mm (1142 or 1199…
  13. Ohlins Spring Rates 10 Dec 2012 08:59 BR - Good suggestion but I think the stiffest spring Ohlins does is 1199 lbs/inch (01092-89 is the part number). By my calculations, this is approximately 17% stiffer than the stock spring. Even though it wouldn't be…
  14. Ohlins Spring Rates 8 Dec 2012 05:46 Thanks for your advice guys. I think I'll return the spring for the 1200 lbs/in one. I'll let you know what I think of the suspension when I get it installed. Graham
  15. Ohlins Spring Rates 7 Dec 2012 06:59 Guys, I've had my bike now for 18 months. I've never been happy with the suspension so decided to splurge on a rear Ohlins shock (S46HR1C1S from here http://www.indysuper...oductid=7111625 ). Before I ordered, I called…
