Last 50 of 959- 5TH GEN DELINK + cop I can't find a picture of my solution, but if you look at the clevis, it has an threaded adjustable plunger, that passes through a retainer plate. Just replace the plunger with a socket head bolt I think it's an M6…
- 5TH GEN DELINK + cop You don't need the secondary master replacement bracket. Just use the clevice that is already there with a bolt retained in the secondary master cylinder by the steel plate & circlip that is also already there. The…
- In Dutch, it's called a "Garage" DrErgal, 11/11/2025 at 8:43 AM That's the garage of every man's dream 😎 NO, what am I saying? That's the main residence of every man's dream; if you have that, why moving elsewhere? 😁 Not sure how I missed this, but I…
- My Delkovic Experience Stop upsetting the universe with those dumb ass shorty or zero silencers. It's a VFR800 it sounds glorious without all that decibel pain. Mine was even voted best sounding bike on a PB Mag track day, even after the then…
- How often do you change out your air filter? So Honda recommend you change it at the 16K miles service interval. I use K&N so check it annually if I have a bunch of miles or more recently with not a lot of miles every 2nd year. It really depends on miles &…
- And so for my next trick... Check the slot cover, ham fisted use when inserting the key can bend the soft metal surrounds & jam the slot cover. You can usually straighten it all out with a thin flat blade screwdriver to lever the bent metal up…
- 2015 VFR800DLX No Start… Use a jump lead to bypass the starter relay direct from battery to the starter with ignition on. If the bike cranks & starts its the starter relay !
- And so for my next trick... eBay has lost the plot. I had a similar thing happen. Then another where the package arrived but eBay still showed it as pending delivery for months ! I blame it on AI being used by companies when its clearly not of…
- Headlight / turn signal one sided problem 5 hours ago, methman H/L switch. Do you mean Hi / Lo beam? It is on the left. On the right there is a triple pole slide switch: Off - position light (small bulb in the middle of headlight) - On (both H4 bulbs). The…
- power commander for fifth gen: worth it? A PC3 will net you circa 10-12HP over stock so go from 95-105-107RWHP with everything else stock. The PC5/6 are a huge waste of money as they don't bring anything to the party with our older engine electronics. I'm not…
- Headlight / turn signal one sided problem Why has it got a H/L switch on right bar ? That is normally on the left bar, did you say right in error ? Do you mean the lights Off/side/dip selector switch ? As you state all grounds feed back to the rear left…
- Electrical gremlin draining battery The clock has a very high drain for what it is. But normally takes 3 month or more to drain a standard lead battery. I disconnect the battery & bring it in to the warmth during the winter after giving it a full charge…
- In Dutch, it's called a "Garage" Well it's a great idea, I like it. As far as strength goes for steel shelving just remember how small the centre stands are on your bikes, it can support the full weight of the bike with a rider to boot. So it doesn't…
- 1998 vfr clutch plates Yes if they are not to worn or glazed. You could try adding fresh oil to the plates through the oil fill port using a syringe & check the clutch is lifting properly. Pull the clutch lever in whilst doing this & use a…
- 5th Gen Corbin SaddleBags (I have a pair) Need a side on pic, never seen those before, weird but interesting, no good for a high mount pipe.
- New MRA Double Bubble Screen So decided that the old double bubble screen which has started to crack internally & has snapped locator lugs under the mirror mounts needed to be replaced. After a bit of searching the MRA screen whilst expensive looks…
- Balancing the Rear Wheel Just take it to your nearest car tyre place. Fits nicely on a car wheel balancer & costs tuppence to get done👍
- what type of stainless steel exhaust headers ? Stock 5th gens put out approx 95hp at the wheel. With 98/99 copy headers & opening the airbox + K&N etc with a custom tune will net you around 112hp. As dynojet dynos are notorious for there inconsistency from location…
- 1999 VFR with a wierd issue ??? I'm not aware of any switch over point around 2800 rpm. You can test the Fi easily if you can rig up a spare injector with a basic fluid feed don't use fuel. Just wire it up point it in a bucket & see if it fires at…
- another brake delinking (approach for the front) That's a lot of work when just replacing the SMC actuator with a bolt & washer achieves the same. One of my old threads shows how & how to drill the bracket to reduce weight.
- Yet Another VTR1000 Fan Retrofit Best add a stone guard grill to the air in area in the front slot that allows air in between the engine & back of the fan. The VTR fan will destroy the rad if a small stone gets spat in there that is larger than the…
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! You can tune the Rapid Bike unit to the AFR of your choice. I was running mine at 14.4-1 AFR @ 52mpg (UK), compared to 40mpg @ 13.2-1 AFR. But the bike didn't like the change to E10 fuel in UK so now run 14-1 on E5 or…
- DYNAMO HUMM STYLE 840 KIT INFO. To bore out the MMC you need at least a 77mm bore possibly 77.5 or 78mm to clear it. That makes an 893cc @77mm or 916cc @78mm. Also reduces the 8mm open deck wall to 5.5 or 5mm, reducing the sealing area & clamping…
- DYNAMO HUMM STYLE 840 KIT INFO. All VFR 750's use Iron liners AFAIK. You can use Nikasil compatible piston rings on an Iron bore but NOT the other way round. Nikasil/MMC is much harder than Iron. I've never researched big bores for the 750's but I…
- DYNAMO HUMM STYLE 840 KIT INFO. The Dynamo Hum 840 used Iron liners. The biggest issue with 5/6th big bore is the MMC liner fitted by the factory. HighSideNZ used my research to make an 825cc using CBR929 74mm pistons, by boring out the MMC to 74mm.…
- Fuel injection issue Yes it would need tuning & probably a 3bar FPR to make the most of it. An alternative if buying secondhand parts would be a 6/8th gen Throttle Body & airbox bottom half, I believe the 5/6 tops are the same, can't…
- Fuel injection issue Yep same part used in various Honda's of that time period. Also shared with early Hyabusa's if you are really keen you can buy upgraded Busa 12hole injectors, but might need to change the injector connectors to suit.
- VF1000R feasibly imminent, seeking detractors If anyone fancies doing Fi on an earlier model. You only need a couple of sensors & a Microsquirt ECU. For throttle bodies Suzuki GSXR750SRAD 1998/99 models use independent throttle bodies so can be adapted to anything.…
- VF1000R feasibly imminent, seeking detractors I've been considering this as an option but like everything I touch, 40 year old carbs would not be my preferred choice even if low mileage. So engine tune up, add EFI & complete suspension & possibly wheel replacement…
- DYNAMO HUMM STYLE 840 KIT INFO. No reply from my old contact, but it was a 14year old email address.
- DYNAMO HUMM STYLE 840 KIT INFO. I used to & may still have the contact email for the guy that ran Dynamo Hum. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of the Mediterranean at the mo literally & won't be home until Monday. I'll try to dig it up & see if it…
- Indicator issue - relay? Not sure if it's still available but RS used to do track pens. One insulating, one conductive. Find your break draw an insulation track between good points, draw conductor over this & seal with another insulation cover.…
- Clock assembly flexible pcb The most important part on a 5th gen is a 2" square of plastic below the centre of the headlight. It's there to allow you the change the parking light bulb, but many bikes have lost it & it not being there allows water…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? So the Carbon Rear wheel is back from the nice Ex Mclaren composites engineer & been ultrasound tested, looks pretty good. So at the weekend a tyre was fitted & the rear axles swapped to allow the Carbon back on the…
- Fuel Additives If you don't use your bike much then fuel stab is a good idea, as it stops the fuel turning to goo. Injector cleaner is half snake oil half reality. Good clean fuel stays that way if used & replaced regularly. 5th Gen…
- Trackday Donnington 31st October Hi UK VFR lovers. Stray & Me are booked in on this Trackday. Feel free to sign up at No Limits Trackdays. Hopefully see some of you there 👍
- about the Rothmans graphics on Honda V4 Re the bikes & body position/riding style. The current style is more to do with the weight than the power. A 500cc 2-stroke makes as much torque as a 1000cc 4-stroke, but goes from not much to max in a heart beat as it…
- about the Rothmans graphics on Honda V4 3 hours ago, Lorne Don't forget Schwartz's Pepsi Suzuki. And here's a pic of the holy trinity: Schwantz, Rainey, and Doohan. [image: image.thumb.jpeg.de746282e096c1ea9a1227426f8a8cd4.jpeg] [image:…
- Unsettling Throttle Behaviour If the bike runs fine everywhere except the vtec transition point, I'd be looking there. But if it only went wonk after the last refuel then switch out the fuel & see if it gets better. If mot then look further.
- Unsettling Throttle Behaviour Sounds like a Vtec transition or a TPS sensor issue. If you have checked the throttle cables & they are free moving & correctly adjusted = zero free play when bars are on the lock stop left/right which ever is the…
- Should have known better..... And non VFR bike's updates Best feel is 32-36:1 ratio between M/C piston area & calliper piston area IMO. I use CBR929/954 or CBR600F4 callipers with CBR600F4 M/C, its the best Axial brake setup.
- Should have known better..... And non VFR bike's updates Check out some yams or sukis they often have separate m/c & res.
- what have you done in the hope of increasing the powers You won't suffer detonation with this configuration. Unlike carbs, the Fi will self adjust some based on certain engine parameters. So a change of filter or exhaust with normal header size dimensions will not affect the…
- 2014+ VFR800F Quickshifter You are spot on, but 3rd party QS's don't send anything to the ECU they just cut the signal to the plugs to skip a few RPM. Would be nice if manufacturers built an access port into the ECU, so you didn't have to do…
- 2014+ VFR800F Quickshifter You can use a Healtech Quick Shifter Easy (QSE). I keep meaning to ask them to make me a special harness, will contact them tomorrow 👍
- what have you done in the hope of increasing the powers That sounds like the sound of spring 😁 Someone (sorry their name escapes me)or on VFRworld, did a high tune up on a 6th gen motor circa 2009 ish. Similar to this but more so, got 120hp IIRC. Replaced Vtec valves with…
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! If you do some searching, there is a means to revamp those rubbers make them soft as new. I used engine oil on the inside of mine the first time I had the TB's off, every time since they have been easy to do & flexible…
- Quicker steering Mine are down 7mm & the rear is raised 2" & its still rock solid stable. But turns much faster than before 👍 So no need to worry.
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! So here is my electric water pump installed. [image: 1706984578499blob.thumb.jpeg.8f89fdf4d6753b3a474bf9470f584656.jpeg] Second pic shows main coolant flow with Yellow arrows same on diagram. [image:…
