Last 50 of 54- Must Have Mods VFROZ Only people who have never ridden a 5th gen with modified suspension would say they don't need it. It is the biggest improvement to the bike by far. I have Racetech springs and revalve + dropped 10mm on the front.…
- Must Have Mods Well I have quite a few mods already but some here were not on my list until now, here is what is currently on the bike + a picture suspension built for 200lb rider by daugherty motorsports (929 shock rebuilt/revalved,…
- Must Have Mods What would you guys say are the best and must have mods for a 5th gen?
- What's The Hottest 5Th Generation Can? Post Your Pics.... Have a Yoshimura R77 on mine [image: 10592713_10152628675663665_8637525048469]

- Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? I just put a Yoshimura R-77 Carbon on my 5th gen, as long as it has the same inlet diameter of the 5th gen pipe you can use any slip on. At most you will need a new mid pipe made, which any exhaust shop can do.
- It's Time For New Tires! How do you guys get such HORRIBLE tire life? The Roadsmart 2's on my 5th gen have quite a lot of kms on them. Front is at 15,000kms rear at around 12-13,000 and they both still have quite a bit of life left in them.
- 5th gen blue gauges I have trouble seeing my gauge needles at night with the blue leds, should I just get brighter LEDs or?
- Charging System Maintenance (R/r Relocation) I recently posted about my recent RR upgrade. It might be of interest to some. There is also a photo of how/where I placed it. Shindengen FH020AA Rectifier/Regulator Super Mosfet Kit That is the kit I have on my 2000,…
- Adding Superbike Bars To Your Bike Just finished the installation and a test ride. It's great! Feels MUCH more comfortable, and I feel like I have more control over the bike with the higher seating and greater leverage over the front wheel. I used ST1300…
- Replacement R/r Kits +1 Got one of his kits for my new 00, but have not installed yet. Very nicely packaged and responds to questions quick.
- Chain Guard Removed... My 1st 5th gen had the brake lines ziptied to the passenger peg like you mentioned, and it ran fine for thousands of KM like that until I bought a chain guard and spiegler lines.
- Adding Superbike Bars To Your Bike huntinggunns silverbullet132 Just ordered the TAG risers OP used, Renthal 755 bar in black, and Oberon 14mm bar ends. Hopefully I do not need extended cables due to buying the 755 instead of the 756. Where did you find…

- Adding Superbike Bars To Your Bike Ah ok. I was looking at doing the conversion, is it 100% that new throttle cables are needed? I took a look at mine, and it looks like they could possible be re routed to allow for the extra bar height and rise. If not,…
- Adding Superbike Bars To Your Bike I noticed both of you guys that posted pics of your setups (5th and 6th gen) that your triples are dropped about an inch down the forks? Is that for any specific reason?
- VERY odd odometer issue When I turn the ignition on, the odometer displays 188888 or something similar, then goes completely blank after the bike finishes 'starting up'. Running or not running makes no difference with it. Trip meter works,…

- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR I know the voltage is regulated by the R/R, but like I said the stator phases are shorting to each other.
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Basically. In testing it resulted that some of the stator phases/wires were shorting to each other. When he first put it in it was charging at 14.2-14.3v, now it charges at 15v+ and nothing has been touched in the…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Replaced the stator, replaced the stator cover, worked well. He started bolting stuff back on and tested it again, stator was fried. He is now testing the crank to see if it is bent :( Anyone have ideas? possible bent…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Update: Stator tested bad, replaced. After replacing the stator it was discovered that the stator cover has been bent and welded back up before. That has since been replaced, waiting for a call back. Hopefully that will…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Stator replaced but he now discovered the cover had been well messed up by the last owner. Found weld fixup spots, and I think caulking too. Told me when he replaced the stator it was hitting off of the flywheel rotor?…

- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Ah, well I am going to try replacing the kickstand switch as someone had messed with it before. They are cheap enough anyways.
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Def not that, if I tip the bike into riding position and push the kickstand out with my foot to simulate it being down the bike starts and runs fine. So I think I need a new kickstand switch.
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR God damn....bike starts revs etc all is well...then as soon as I tilt it over to start riding it stalls. Kickstand up or down does not matter, always stalls and does not start back up unless it is on its kickstand.
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Got it back today, now I am 90% sure the battery is the root of my problems. It starts fine and holds 13.5v-ish at idle and 14.2v-ish at 5000rpm. Sometimes while running the multimeter would read 0v off the battery then…

- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Never mind, found out. Anyone know where I can get one if it turns out to be bad? Honda is back ordered until early November :(

- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Took it to the mechanic, it is fouling plugs and running rich + backfiring :(

- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Will try that, need to get some electrical cleaning spray first :) Hopefully the starter motor is the culprit, what do you guys think? We would put bike into a high gear and rock the rear wheel back and forth until we…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Installed the FH0122AA with some help, and diagnosed a bad starter motor (has a dead spot) so now on the hunt for a new one!
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR swas If the bike has started and run with the new harness I would be checking for loose connections around your starter motor circuit, battery and all earth points. There are earth conglomeration points (generally…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR timmythecop If a know good battery won't start the bike, it cannot be the R/R (although it too nay be bad) because if it us nor running it has nothing to regulate or rectify. Sounds like it is the harness to me. BTW...…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Swapped the battery with a known good one, still just a click. Hopefully the new R/R fixes this, if not, what could it be? Have already swapped the starter relay.
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR swas I hope the crook batteries in your multimeter meant the charging figures were wrong? I believe the PGM FI controller is not too fond of high voltages (not trying to panic you but it has to be considered). How many…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Hopefully not too long...and hopefully VFRness/new R/R/new battery fixes this problem, the few minutes it did work this bike was PERFECT
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR rangerscott69 Sounds like the R/R is kicking the bucket. Mine will get hot and sometimes when I pull in the clutch, the bike will just die. It'll act as if the battery is dead until it cools down enough. Someone local…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Looks like it was, and he said it was done because the lights etc would randomly not work which is supposedly very common
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Another update: -Battery reads 12.75v -Leak tested, meter reads 0.8mA -The harness side of the R/R connector positives read 12.75v (positive lead on the red/white and common lead on the frame) -Continuity between the…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Changed the battery in my multimeter, it now reads 0.7-0.8 ohms on the 3 wires coming from the stator and 0 continuity on all 3. Battery also now reads 12.5v.
