  1. Brake lights, but not from lever? 18 Apr 2020 18:07 If you wanted a better wiring diagram: [image: gallery_362_402_42135.gif] Also a customizable brake flasher: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/UPD-90655/ I like a single, quick, flash that is almost imperceptible.
  2. 95 Vfr With Exhaust Leak? Audio Clip Included. 27 May 2016 14:17 My collector is split at the seam. I assume you've eliminated all accessible pipes by feeling for air leaking, right?
  3. My 4Th Gen Project 21 Jul 2015 02:20 YAAAASSS. I like the color on the 3rd gen wheel.
  4. Who Can Read These; How Do My Spark Plugs Look? Kind Of Weird... 13 Mar 2013 13:07 Ok thanks for all the pointers. I just installed new plugs so I will take a plug chop today. The front right requires complete removal of the radiator with my wrenching setup so it may not come out. Unleaded fuel does…
  5. Who Can Read These; How Do My Spark Plugs Look? Kind Of Weird... 13 Mar 2013 02:35 No leaks. I installed the plugs last time, and made sure they were tightened to manual specs. Please explain this plug chop procedure. I did think to check the thermostat, all is working and coolant flows I think I may…
  6. Who Can Read These; How Do My Spark Plugs Look? Kind Of Weird... 12 Mar 2013 15:36 I think the bike runs really well actually, except when it gets hot. It tends to bog down and overheat. my coolant also seems to disappear. I haven't run them after cleaning, I just replaced them. The jet sizes were…
  7. Who Can Read These; How Do My Spark Plugs Look? Kind Of Weird... 12 Mar 2013 14:28 [image: XhjAZZb.jpg] [image: i5mE2uS.jpg] To me, 1 and 3 are richer (all seem pretty rich, especially on the black side). They all have a strange half brown, half black thing going on. I rotated them in the second…
  8. JUST PUSHED MY BIKE 3 MILES!!! DAG!!! 31 Aug 2012 21:51 I pushed my Ninja 250 3 miles to the next gas station outside of dallas in a downpour after I forgot I had put it on reserve 60 miles ago. With full luggage (tank, tail, saddle, backpack) and rain gear on, I can feel…
  9. VietHorse wants to ride in US - lots of advices needed. 9 Aug 2012 04:58 Hey I'll be in college station, tx! About 1.5 hours north from Houston. When I lived in france and from my out of country college friends living here most licenses (pakistan, south africa) are accepted. Bike rental is…
  10. Honda VFR 750 RC36- Extremely high fuel consumption? 4 Aug 2012 01:45 Popping under decel may be due to clean air (from either poorly blocked off PAIR ports or other exhaust connections) entering the exhaust system: http://www.mikuni.com/tg_backfires_in_exhaust.html
  11. Honda VFR 750 RC36- Extremely high fuel consumption? 2 Aug 2012 22:44 Check your mileage against GPS, your ODO could be modified from its stock kilometer reading to read in miles, causing calculation error.
  12. My 3rd gen Frankenviffer 31 Jul 2012 19:13 Congrats, looks great!
  13. Jetting Carb Tuning AF ratio Questions 4th Gen 28 Jul 2012 04:14 NGK CR9EH-9 I have no pictures above of the pilot (what I call mixture) screw. The pilot JET is the bottom left brass flat head drive piece.
  14. Removing throttle slack? 28 Jul 2012 04:06 I have found it best to set the adjuster on the handlebar in the middle, tighten up the carb one, and check slack when at full lock left and right. Slack usually tightens up full left for me. It is frustrating because…
  15. VFR to the Lake District... 27 Jul 2012 20:13 Haha, mine came with my purchase as well. I've loved it, and found they are pretty waterproof
  16. Jetting Carb Tuning AF ratio Questions 4th Gen 27 Jul 2012 14:55 Drilled airbox: how the bike came. Why is it not good? I should mention this is a CA bike, but with all the modifications done it wouldn't be a far stretch to imagine it has 49 state cams. It is on my 2do list to check.…
  17. Jetting Carb Tuning AF ratio Questions 4th Gen 27 Jul 2012 04:46 Gordo is a 1995 Honda VFR750F, he has this kind of airbox w/ a uni foam filter: [image: Posted Image] And a TBR slip-on exhaust. #130 Mains all around, #40 pilots all around, mixture screws unknown (I'm assuming these…

  20. 80 miles on a full tank? 25 Jul 2012 17:30 You may want to double check your mileage against GPS, your odometer might not be correct.
  21. Frankenbolts Please 20 Jul 2012 17:53 What exactly is a franken bolt? Learn me!

  25. First time VFR owner introduction 5 Jul 2012 20:50 This happens on my bike and is lessened when the chain is warm. Also keeping revs a little higher may help, but ultimately I believe it is due to the fact that the chain is old and had been sitting for over a year when…
  26. Center-stand components? 4 Jul 2012 20:02 M8x20 bolt (I'm pretty sure), centerstand, pivot shaft, weird C-shaped bracket that springs attach to, 1 large spring with rubber housing, 1 smaller spring, and a washer. I attached both springs to the same points, as…
  27. 80 miles on a full tank? 1 Jul 2012 01:32 Here's my guess: carb bowl plugs aren't tightened all the way, causing gas to constantly leak
