All 25- RC51 oil cooler install on 5th gen I did the RC51 oil cooler on mine and am quite pleased. It doesn't do anything for stop and go in town traffic, but once you get moving in clean air, temps drop much faster. Fantastic mod for the price and simplicity. I…
- Looking for ECU socket/pin brand and P/N Corsa-Technic now has them in stock. I expect to be ordering soon and building a new harness without all the solder connections. http://www.corsa-tec...?category_id=94
- My 5.5gen VFR I never got my hands on a set of 6gen rearsets etc in order to see just how hard it would have really been. From the photos I studied, it didn't look easy. Lots of pros and cons either way. Riding with some 6gen friends…
- Rattle/knock in engine. Possible starter clutch problem? Like I said in another similar thread; it's not that the problem "can't be" or "isn't" something else. But working on planes and industrial machinery has pounded into me that you start with basics. Doesn't matter how…

- Rattle/knock in engine. Possible starter clutch problem? my money says it's most likely as simple as your engine not running balanced. 3rd gen will knock and sound like a rattle bucket of bolts if the carbs are not sync'd just right or if things get unbalanced in the idle…
- Choices owned 3rd and 5th gen at the same time. No question for me, the 5th is a much better machine and I happily sold the 3rd
- My 5.5gen VFR AB-Oz does the rear master cyl get hot at all? I do not believe so. I don't have technical data but would love to compare some actual temp readings with an OEM setup. I do have my leg sitting right there and do not…
- My 5.5gen VFR mello dude Sweet job Tink! :fing02: -Your wire harness rework blows me away! :cool: Blew me away too. It was the one biggest things I hadn't anticipated in this project. I didn't expect the brakes to become what they…
- My 5.5gen VFR pres589 Movie was pretty cool, thanks for showing your work, seeing more of the front end exposed without plastic in the way makes me wonder again about the changes required to strip an RC46 down and transform it into a…

- My 5.5gen VFR When I originally set out, I thought I could make this a quasi-bolt on mod and fabricate extra mounts for sale. I finally gave up and just made it work for myself. The real shocker came when I discovered the ECU would…
- My 5.5gen VFR Noobtastic14 Beautiful bike! I have the same mirrors but flipped around so the smooth side is on top and the angled side is on bottom. It keeps the mirror profile lower I think. -Drew I had tried them that way as well…
- My 5.5gen VFR mello dude Great job Tink! -- Curious about the mirrors - what are they? -- looks good... Kudos! - Nice video! Thanks - glad you guys liked it. I'd have to do some digging to figure out exactly which vendor I bought…
- My 5.5gen VFR I revived this 1998 over the winter. Still have a few loose ends to tie up but she'll do for now. The video is 8.5min long with the final product shown at the end. http://www.youtube.com/embed/lDScHfeyYxE
- Looking for ECU socket/pin brand and P/N corsa-tech was finally able to locate the correct sockets. Said he will have them in stock soon. In the meantime, I butchered a harness with 45 solder connections to lengthen and shorten wires as necessary to relocate…
- Looking for ECU socket/pin brand and P/N will see if these guys are more helpful https://www.corsa-te...c.com/index.php [image: Posted Image]
- avantages for 929 shock? JeffLaurence, on 27 February 2012 - 06:34 PM, said: I didn't get the dogbone from the 929 when I got my shock so I had to use the shorter bearing sleeve and make up two spacers (.140" each) and bought a bolt with a 10.9…
- Looking for ECU socket/pin brand and P/N got a reply from the Beaver. short and sweet: "sorry, can't help you" that was that

- Looking for ECU socket/pin brand and P/N I need to find out what brand and part number the socket pins / wire terminals are that were used by Honda and Keihin on the wiring harness. I need to customize my wiring harness to relocate the ECU to a different…
- Anyone attempt to connect radiators in series? kaldek Honestly, this argument has been done to death in various forms. People spinning their fans backwards because "it's better than the Honda design" went on, and on, and on. So how about a link then? As I said in my…
- Anyone attempt to connect radiators in series? I have no doubt that a parallel system is efficient when the bike is moving along with some airflow. But moving in slow traffic with reduced air flow thru the radiators would seem that a series system would work better.
- avantages for 929 shock? [image: Posted Image] [image: Posted Image] Always thought I would take that thing off and machine a nice aluminum adapter instead. But - nothing is more permanent than something done temporary
- Anyone attempt to connect radiators in series? Looking at the radiator configuration for the 5th gen (assuming 6th is the same), the radiators are essentially a parallel circuit. Water flows into the top of both, or either, radiator and then out the bottom and back…
