All 46- Doing “the Drill” on my “new” 5th gen. The electrosport flow chart is super helpful when diagnosing charging problems. It’s the “fault finding guide” about halfway down the page here: https://www.electrosport.com/pages/technical-resources
- Unchain My Bike... Or So I Thought... Hi Larry, Sorry to resurrect a sore subject but Gates manufactures an insane number of different belts. Have you contacted their engineering department to see if they have what you need or are you just checking…
- Moved To Germany, Purchased 4Th Gen For Touring Europe? Congrats on the new bike and living my dream in Europe! I'm glad some of the negative posts didn't turn you off from VFRs. Unless you're small in stature you won't have any problems. My '91 (3rd gen) is similar to yours…
- My 95 Vfr-Sf Project: The Process Wow! Absolutely amazing job.
- Voltmeter In-Dash Install 3Rd Gen You'll soon get bored of seeing 14.5, and this is a good thing. Ain't that the truth! I'll probably end up leaving it off and switching it on every once in a while to "check in" on the electrical system. If anyone else…
- Voltmeter In-Dash Install 3Rd Gen Hi All, I'm posting this mostly as a thank you to the folks past and present who make VFRD so awesome. From the very idea of adding a voltmeter to tips, suggestions, warnings, etc. I learned pretty much everything I…
- Powerlet Termin-8 CSFS- I'm not familiar with their entire line of products but you're correct that a termin-8 could be put together for about $10 - $15 IMO. I seriously considered returning mine and just building one for myself. BUT...…
- Powerlet Termin-8 Thanks guys! I'll contact the distributor and Powerlet and let everyone know what they say...
- Powerlet Termin-8 Well the Powerlet Termin-8 showed up yesterday and I was less than impressed with the quality. One of the rings that connect to the battery slipped off the exposed wire almost as soon as I pulled it out of the package.…
- Powerlet Termin-8 Thanks Dutchy thats good info. Especially pointing out that if the fuse blows you would have your work cut out for you trying to figure out what caused it. In my particular case I'm not worried about adding a switch…
- Powerlet Termin-8 Hi All, I'm relatively new to farkling but I've quickly used up all the battery terminal space on my '91. Battery tender permanent connection, VFRness, voltmeter (not installed yet as I have no room!), etc. So, I've…
- 3Rd Gen Open Header? A street fighter 3rd gen isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'm sure vfrcapn means he'd hate to see a pristine third gen get butchered :-) I also agree this is a bad idea. The bike can be PLENTY loud and still have an…
- Centerstand Hitting Midpipe After Swap Before you do anything other than mild mods you should call Delk. They have pretty good customer service.
- Took Betsy Out For A Ride... Had To 2-Up With Brother Back Home. Getting stranded is a rite of passage for VFR ownership isn't it? I've been there also, no fun. Sorry you had that, but glad you had a ride back. Once you get her sorted, you will be fine (and love to ride it!) Chuck I…
- 23K+ Km And A Possible Dct Failure? That's absolutely awful news! I'm so sorry you're having such serious problems! Is the bike not under warranty?
- This Cbr250 Has Peaked My Interest Yup you can't beat VFRD. Almost every time there's a link to another forum I'm shocked how snarky everyone is. Internet cowboys!
- This Cbr250 Has Peaked My Interest Congrats! Looks like a very fun ride. Disclaimer: The following is written without any knowledge of your specific experiences or how you ride... Maybe others with more experience can confirm / deny this but I think…
- High Mount Exhaust With Passenger? Serious question... what's the big deal about left exit? Is it to see the entire wheel? Sent from my handheld-sending-thing... And if 4th is already an improvement over 3 rd (or why else would they have changed it) then…
- High Mount Exhaust With Passenger? Some more thoughts on this... Don't people recomend a 4th gen exhaust system be put on a 3rd gen if you're looking for a performance increase? Like this: http://www.ebay.com/...691db8b&vxp=mtr 4th gen exhaust systems…
- High Mount Exhaust With Passenger? I've always admired high mounts but it's this thread that was my ah-ha! moment: http://www.vfrdiscus...en/?hl=delkevic What they are after is super cool. I hope they pull it off! I already have the delkevic collector…
- High Mount Exhaust With Passenger? Hi All, I've been lusting after a high mount exhaust like everyone else who doesn't have one :) The problem is I ride with my girlfriend quite often. Can a passenger be comfortable with a high mount? Any 3rd gen…
- Performance Drop From Seperating Exhaust 3Rd Gen I like what you're thinking! I bought this collector to replace the rusted out stock collector on my '91. It's MUCH lighter than stock and the build quality is decent. You might get good results by buying this and…
- Fjord Norway 2012 Video Trailer The preview is very well produced... I can't wait for the whole thing!
- 91 Vfr Fork Swap Just pre-load your existing forks with some spacers on top of the springs (I've used 2 pence pieces on older bikes before now - as for cost, around 8p a side!). I imagine lots of people will slate this cheap-skate idea…
- VF500F knocking sound - please listen and give me opinion +1 I received that advice a while ago and it was spot on. Worst case, your carbs are synced and you can continue to chase the problem but I bet you won't have to. Good Luck!
- Spark Plug Question (Very Specific!) Thanks guys I really appreciate the information. Hopefully others find this thread helpful as well!
- Spark Plug Question (Very Specific!) Yup I learned that 9 is cooler than 8 from wera's link! It's very helpful! I'm still undecided if I'll keep the ones I ordered or try to exchange them. I do ride almost all year and installing cooler plugs going into…
- Spark Plug Question (Very Specific!) Hi All, I've got a very specific question about spark plugs.... hopefully the gurus here have a quick answer. Also, I imagine this is 3rd gen specific but it might be helpful to others. My '91 VFR750 came from the…
- "Well, you're a long way from home..." 21 Days Across the United States *following this one. I can't wait to read about the other 20 days!
- Quick Drain Hose Question Thanks jzh its 360 not 361 (meaning non ca bike)! At mk2s suggestion I'm attaching a few pics. The first is the hose location. The second pic is the hose in a sandwich bag. Anyone know? Thanks! Attached Images [image:…
- Quick Drain Hose Question Hi All, Quick question for all the 3rd gen owners (and maybe fourth gens too?). There are three drain hoses on the right side of our bikes. Fuel, cooling system, and.... I dunno. When I started disassembling my bike to…
- Spot one of our own in MotorCyclist November issue! Very cool! I only wish they added a link to VFRD so people who are interested could see exactly how much work it took to make her beautiful again! Kind of a "this is how much this guy loves his bike and here's what he's…
- Carb Gurus Please Help! Thanks again for the help Sam! I attacked the carbs last night after work with great success! At first I couldn't really see the adjustment screws so I ended pulling the carb assembembly back off my bike and adjusted…
- Carb Gurus Please Help! Awesome! I was definitely sync'ing the carbs incorrectly. I'll give it another shot tonight and post the results. What are people using for digital tachs?
- Carb Gurus Please Help! Thanks for the reply Sam! I was adjusting item #5 on the diagram. http://www.bikebandi...m151579#sch7762 You're saying that's not the correct screw to adjust when doing a carb sync?
- Carb Gurus Please Help! Hi All, I'm restoring / rebuilding a 1991 VFR 750 and I really need advice about some recent carb work I've been performing. I never intended to work on the carbs but after letting the bike sit for about four months…
- Indy Epic Adventure Thanks for bringing us all with you! Great post!
- The Mother of All Squids - LOL Being from So Fla I can confirm for those that are in disbelief that he does exist. Whether it's real or a characterization that sadly is reality. That's even my former local courthouse!
- 1983 vf750f new paint. Looks great! This does reinforce the advice I've heard to pay an expert. Your final product is outstanding but nine months?!? I know how much not riding hurts! There's no better feeling that doing the job yourself…
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis Nice work! So you think it was a stuck float combined with bad gaskets?
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis Please let us know if that solved your problem!
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis I'm dealing with exactly this problem on my '91. Does anyone know why parts for these carbs are so expensive? Float needles and seats are about $50.00 and event the gaskets are expensive.... crazy!!! Anyone have leads…
- One of the Top Scenic Drives in North America... Icefields Parkway Thanks Olive nice post!
- Carburetor Hydrolocked my engine... Wow sorry to hear about all the difficulty you've been having. I've been following this thread from the beginning and waiting for the "All Better" post like the June 22nd "edition". Don't give up- you've got a beautiful…
- Help! Very new user here but for what its worth it sounds like your clutch isn't engaging all the way. I was stuck in second or neutral a few times before i got mine squared away. Sounds simple but check your clutch lever.…
