Last 50 of 347- New owner - a couple of kinks. I know I'm jumping ahead, but as soon as you get the carbs figured out, and it seems like you are well on your way, check the recharging system via "the drill". This is the weak point of these bikes. While I have had…
- purchased a 1992 Honda VFR I second the knights design letting pegs. I liked mine. I had different experiences with my 91 rr than snowdog, but maybe I was just unlucky. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
- purchased a 1992 Honda VFR I think I had the Shindegen FH020AA. After eating OEM style ones like candy, I got 40k miles out of the Shindegen when I sold the bike. And I cannot recommend the VFRness enough. I got another full volt when I converted…
- purchased a 1992 Honda VFR That's a sharp looking bike! Side cases are tough. I always used soft bags, and that seemed to work. Regarding the r/r, I replaced mine with the shindegen and a VFRness from Tightwad (he's a member on the forum), along…
- 1997 750, Popping/Clicking, Believed to be Chain I'm not saying anyone's suggestion is inaccurate, because I would tend to come to the same conclusion. But to play the devil's advocate, in your initial post, you said it seem to come from the front end. So I'm…
- Replace '97 with a '01???? I should have mentioned this earlier, but the abs is why I decided to get the the 6th gen. Whatever you decide, I can't recommend a VFRness from Tightwad enough along with an onboard voltmeter. Sent from my SCH-I545…
- Replace '97 with a '01???? I had a 3rd gen, now have a 6th, and my brother has a 5th (99?). I do miss my GDC's, although the chassis and suspension are no doubt better on the 6th. I love having hard bags on the 6th, which makes touring so much…
- Everything else works . . . tach is dead! Vanion2: I do in fact have a 6th gen. I should have stated that previously. I will look and see what I can see, thanks for the guidance
- Everything else works . . . tach is dead! They are light enough, i figure why not?!? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
- Everything else works . . . tach is dead! About a month ago a lovely young lady helped me customize some bodywork (clutch side) with her Prius. After doing some creative ABS bodywork, everything is fine except my tach doesn't work. When I say everything else is…
- Questions About Fuel Filter And Theromstat You got the part number, Google is your friend!
- Questions About Fuel Filter And Theromstat PICS! We need Pics. 1- If it's easy, why not do the fuel filter? If it's not easy, I wouldn't make an effort. If it aint broke . . . 2- My 3rd gen ran VERY cold all the time. Changing t-stat did not do a damn thing. I…
- Where To Find Metric Speed Nuts? I've looked at that site, fastenal, boltdepot.com (which has great prices otherwise). The closest I have found is from McMaster Carr, but they are rectangular and not square, and don't quite look OEM.. [image:…
- Where To Find Metric Speed Nuts? I've taken up the hobby of giving some attention to a older neglected bikes. Of course, part of this process is replacing hardware that is either missing or worn. I am having a heck of a time finding M4 and M5 speed…
- Mutazu Panniers I have a Shad mount for a Give top case that I am really happy with. Even works with the factory Honda saddlebags.
- Instead Of Painting The Frame, How About Wrapping It? In my limited experience, plastidip doesn't like heat all that much. It will stay on, it actually wore much better than I expected. But what was near heat didn't peal off, it flaked off. In little teeny tiny pieces.
- 03 Vfr800 Cage I remember reading the thread, or one of the threads, as I am sure there are a few. . . . Was the front mounted radiator from a TL? Try here:…
- Official Ca Meet: Tour De Sur April Trip I just came back from a New Years ride up to Monterey. Not surprisingly, the ride was amazing. Ancient Chinese secret, riding from SLO to Monterey on New Year's Day = NO traffic + NO cops. 3 LEO's on the way home on…
- Mysterious Change Of Engine Character & Power Loss After Carb Syncing? I don't think it would be the fuel pump. There are some members that are running 3rd/4th gen bikes without a fuel pump at all, and the change is only apparent after sustained high speed runs. From what I have read. With…
- Mysterious Change Of Engine Character & Power Loss After Carb Syncing? A couple of things piqued my curiosity. And FWIW, I am no guru, and these are not absolute by any stretch. As I understand it, the bogging issue you describe seems inconsistent with a carb scync issue. A carb scync and…
- An Easy Day's Work I recently came into possession of a 2002 VFR. With 70k miles on the clock, it was just broken in. She wasn't pristine, but did come with factory saddlebags and appeared to be cared for by the previous owner. Some…
- Top Case(Bestem) For Vfr800 Vtec That DOES help. What store did you buy the Shad rack from? All the prices I'm finding are much more than you paid. Thanks!
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? Let me recap. Long story short, with stock everything but a shindegen 20 rr, I was getting 13.4 at idle, 13.7 at 5k unloaded, 13.4 with brights. Less that idle, but it was stay and it worked. I guess. Enter the VFRness.…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? Installed the shindegen rr today. At idle 13.3v, but at 5k only 13.5-6v. A rock steady voltage reading, but obviously a little low. Custom vfrness ordered. My volt meter is reading within .1v of readings at the battery.
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? My wiring looks good. My connectors look good, and I am not getting any change the longer I ride. I would a assume that a symptom of bad wiring could be a decline in voltage as questionable areas become more so. While a…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? After riding around for 45 minutes yesterday, mostly freeway . . . 13.3 idle, 13.7 at 5k low beams, 13.4 at 5k high beans. Requesting RMA.
- Volt Meter Intsall With Pdm60 Power Distribution Module Lookin good! Ball park, what did that voltmeter run you? It looks similar to a Honda Marine meter that I remember being a little pricey.
- Top Case(Bestem) For Vfr800 Vtec This is going to be a bit confusing. As I understand it, Givi is the OEM supplier of saddlebags to Honda. But the Honda OEM bags and Give bags for that Honda are wildly different. And the Givi tail rack fit with the…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? I got a Ricks RR (which is what I believe was on there originally now that I can compare the two physically), and I am now actually getting more voltage at 5k than I am at idle, but it still seems low. 13.1 and 13.7.…
- Top Case(Bestem) For Vfr800 Vtec Will that work with your saddlebags, and are your saddlebags Honda, Givi, or other?
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? I am intentionally withholding identifying information until things get resolved. I have no reason to believe that this company will not act with integrity, but I don't want to start to weigh in one way or another until…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? I'll trace the wires later this week, but I think this may be a case of incorrect advertising. I'm a big fan of the vfrness on my 3rd gen.
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? My idle is at 1k. Battery voltage key off is 12.6, key on 12.3. BRand of rr and stator is unknown. It's a new to me bike and I don't trust previous owner mods. I don't know about the stator recall, but I know the blue…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? I followed the instructions for testing the RR provided by the seller of the unit. I think it tested out okay, 525, 526, 527 on the diode test off the negative lead. Tests off the positive lead were all open. Seems high…
- 2003 Engine Stalling What is your battery voltage?
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? I'm going to send the new rr back. I get worse voltage with it than with the original rr, which still isn't ideal. I'm sure the company will test it, and I'll post the outcome. I'll try the Shingen (not spelled right)…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? So either the new RR has the same problem, or its something else. My VDC at @ idle is now 12.8, @ 5k RPM 12.4. Thoughts? I don't remember how old my battery is, but it is not currently a suspect. It seems to hold a…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? Great minds think alike.
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? I've had good luck with Ricks on my 3rd gen. I thought desired VAC at idle was 20V, and at 5k was 60V, but I'm happy to learn I'm incorrect. I'll do some shopping.
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? I'm usually not too bad with electronics (I've had to learn), but this one has me stumped. A 2002 with 70k miles, new to me, a FZ-1 fuseblock with only the on board voltmeter connected. Now the stats: VDC at idle: 13.4V…
- Is My Front Axle Missing Something? You are fine. The side that is round has a shoulder, and the axle only tightens from one side.
- Hispanic Slammer And Yokel Do Eu 2016 I was looking into a similar trip, and I seem to recall something about not being able to buy a bike in the EU because I am not a part of the EU. I'm sure someone will correct me if this is not right, but I think I'm…
- 2006 Vfr Dash, Brake Lights And Headlights Fuse Keeps Blowing! I don't want to artificially inflate the numbers, Duc2V4 was the friend I was referring to in my post. Sorry to out you, D.
- 2006 Vfr Dash, Brake Lights And Headlights Fuse Keeps Blowing! I JUST bought a 6th gen, and was talking to a buddy of mine last night who had a similar issue of headlight/instrument panel fuse popping with his. For him, his brake switch leads were ground out on his front lever.…
- 4Th Of July Vacation Back home safe. The trip was amazing, write up to follow when i have time
- 4Th Of July Vacation I'm planning a 1100 mile trip from July 1-5. Starting at home, staying in San Luis Obispo, SF, Lake Tahoe, and Lone Pine. See map below. My schedule is loose, and I'll be staying at hostels the whole way. Yes, I'll be…
- Stucks At Around 6K If your bike is in neutral will it rev past 6k?
- Toying With The Name, Interceptor I think it solely has to do with marketing, what will sell better where and what is best for the brand. That is why Acura stopped selling Legend's and Integra's and started selling TL's and RSX's, to place a greater…
- My Vfr 750 Streetfighter Project :) What a great looking machine! Very well done.
- Possibly Goodbye Vfrs And Thanks! Sweet exhaust! I am not trying to persuade you one way or another, but I just bought some Knight Designs lowering pegs, and it made a world of difference.
