  1. New To Me 97 Vfr750 12 Oct 2015 19:58 Does the 06 cbr1000 front end drop right in like the cbr929 front end. i might do that on my 98 if i decide to keep it longer. My 98 is starting to have charging issues. I just did a 2,600 mile trip and I have done a…
  2. New To Me 97 Vfr750 12 Oct 2015 02:01 Got her out for a fall test run. The steering is kinda heavy when I turned around on my street. On turns it feels as if the bars are pushing back in the direction of the turn. Hopefullly its just a flat center section…
  3. Shinko Verge On 98 Vfr800 2 Sep 2015 03:14 A shinko rep called me today seems I'll be getting new tires for free. He thinks the belt broke inside the tire. Hopefully they come in before my trip to the dragon next week. I ordered an new set of 009 raven in case…
  4. Shinko Verge On 98 Vfr800 31 Aug 2015 13:36 Halfway through the trip it was bubbled at the end it no longer had a bubble. the tire looked like it was wearing normally.
  5. Shinko Verge On 98 Vfr800 30 Aug 2015 21:10 Shinko 011.....The front tire developed a big bubble in the middle of the tread. The tires have probably 5-6k miles on them. I am not to the wear bars, even if I were a bubble should not have formed. let me be honest I…
  6. New To Me 97 Vfr750 20 Jul 2015 19:28 Been awhile; but ive been working and gathering parts. The biggest change is the 2000 cbr929 front end. The forks went in super easy. Only problem is forks hit the radiator at full lock and they dont hit the steering…
  7. New To Me 97 Vfr750 26 Jun 2015 17:03 Update: Forks are off and currently looking for a USD replacement set. I havent looked into straightening the old ones, leaving thats as an last option. Also got rid of the PAIRs stuff. All that is left is to plug the…
  8. New To Me 97 Vfr750 24 Jun 2015 19:49 Update: last night i stripped the bike more and found my forks are indeed bent. This isnt a big deal but it does delay getting it registered. So im stuck doing a fork swap. I have a lead on a full front end off a 2003…
  9. New To Me 97 Vfr750 22 Jun 2015 18:35 Here is a little update. started stripping and after a couple hours I had her naked. The bike has been dropped and looks like the forks are tweaked a bit. the front wheel rides straigt but the bars feel like the are…
  10. New To Me 97 Vfr750 22 Jun 2015 00:21 Thanks for the encouragement guys. Honestly that was the best side and was held together mostly by red duck tape. The usable stuff will be posted for sale to fund the project. It is currently stripped of all plastic,…
  11. New To Me 97 Vfr750 19 Jun 2015 20:32 Well I’ve officially became a VFR nut. Yesterday I picked up my new toy, a red 97 with 19k and crashed fairings. This is my second VFR. I currently ride a 98 VFR800 with 32k on it. The 750 starts and came with a D&D…
  12. 5Th Gen Economical Hard Luggage Setup (Jc Whitney) 30 Dec 2014 19:52 Progress...I got the side brackets welded up and mounted on the bike. Then reluctantly modified the BMW givi racks and mounted them to brackets. They're currently just held on by the franken bolt mounts and passenger…
  13. 5Th Gen Economical Hard Luggage Setup (Jc Whitney) 28 Dec 2014 06:31 Got some used GIVI racks for a BMW of Ebay for $50. Hopefully it will be done soon.
  14. 5Th Gen Economical Hard Luggage Setup (Jc Whitney) 3 Dec 2014 03:21 Thanks for the info. I am planning on doing a bar going down to the passenger pegs and a bar along the back to connect the two sides. I'm trying to copy the givi design the best i can. Mine will be heavier but hopefuly…
  15. 5Th Gen Economical Hard Luggage Setup (Jc Whitney) 2 Dec 2014 05:30 Here is a little update. I worked on the mounting bracket for the right rack. Didnt come out too bad I thought. Not too bad for my third time welding that is. The bracket is attached to the passenger grab bars and the…
  16. 5Th Gen Economical Hard Luggage Setup (Jc Whitney) 17 Nov 2014 02:39 Update: I worked a little on the brackets this week and came up with a simple design. Started by going to the local metal yard and cruising the bargain barn. picked up some metal $1 a pound so for $8 I got my material.…
  17. 5Th Gen Economical Hard Luggage Setup (Jc Whitney) 6 Nov 2014 02:20 This is my attempt at making a economical hard luggage setup for a 5th gen vfr800. This all started after a ten day trip riding from Connecticut to Deals gap via the blue ridge highway. During the trip I used soft bags,…
  18. Maintenance Day 10 Jul 2013 17:39 Wow thats good to know. the funny thing is before i purchased it i had him send me the repair bills. he paid good money for Cycle therapy (if i remember corretly that were he did it) in NYC to do the tune up and flush.…
  19. Maintenance Day 9 Jul 2013 03:12 Im not sure what is going on. i can say when i was checking the fill cap on the radiator before i changed it. it was green but then when i went to change it came out brown than a i dont know what. but the bike seems to…
  20. Maintenance Day 7 Jul 2013 20:00 [image: IMG_20130630_131024.jpg] Well this past week I did a apparently over due maintenance. This consisted of a radiator flush, New front tire (pilot road 3), oil change, and clutch bleed. I have had this bike for two…
  21. Seized Rear Caliper And Pad Pins 98 Vfr800 4 Jun 2013 03:48 ok so i loosened the line at the pcv so i could see if fluid was coming out when i pushed the piston. i got a fluid buildup when i pushed the center piston, so i thought the secondary master was the problem. toke the…
  22. Seized Rear Caliper And Pad Pins 98 Vfr800 4 Jun 2013 00:03 You can have fluid coming out of the bleeder valves because fluid is moving in only one direction -- it needs to flow back for that piston to release. Fluid flows from the secondary master cylinder into the PCV and then…
  23. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 1 Jun 2013 23:23 So ive been reading the whole post. so for the fifth gen vfr. you need COP from any GSXR 600/750/100 and CBR1000 coil wiring harness. what does the wiring diagram look like going into the coild from the original vfr…
  24. Seized Rear Caliper And Pad Pins 98 Vfr800 1 Jun 2013 18:08 first of thanks baileyrock. but it seems my calipers arent the problem. i switched out the rear caliper and bleed the whole system in hind sight minus tilting the front brake caliper. but my rear disc still stick after…
  25. Seized Rear Caliper And Pad Pins 98 Vfr800 19 May 2013 18:52 Hello, This weekend i got around to trying to find out why my rear brakes were dragging. upon removing the rear tire and looking at the calipers i saw the pads were un evenly worn on the left side of the rear caliper.…
