  1. Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen 25 Dec 2013 04:05 vfrcapn I don't see how Cree is offensive, unless you're a free Jaffa. A free HID kit if you get that reference. I'll PM you my shipping details. LOL [image: post-25786-0-91658200-1387944321.jpg]
  2. Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen 24 Dec 2013 06:12 I saw nothing in the Ebay posting that says this is completely made by CREE. Per the listing: "...our lamp adopts genuine CREE LED CHIP..." That tells me the kit isn't 100% CREE, but the important part, the lamp, is.…
  3. 5Th Vs 6Th Gen Stator Cover Q? 25 Nov 2013 16:11 If you are referring to that tube, it's on the block, not the cover.
  4. 5Th Vs 6Th Gen Stator Cover Q? 23 Nov 2013 05:39 Ok, I've looked at the part numbers, which are different, but I can't seem to see the differrence physically. Is there any difference between the 5th and 6th gen 800 stator covers? And yes, there is a reason for asking.…
  5. Stator Bbq Fix 12 Oct 2013 05:08 The FSM... I need to look at that for the 6th gen. Which I happen to keep on my flash drive at all time... LOL Here it is from the FSM: It looks like diverting oil after the oil cooler would be a bad thing, no? Short of…
  6. Stator Bbq Fix 12 Oct 2013 03:11 I can see a couple of benefits to routing the oil line on the return trip from the cooler to the stator: 1. Cooler oil, obviously 2. It would be unique. That being said though, what would the cons be? What kind of…
  7. Finally Gutted My Stock Exhaust On My 6Th Gen. Put Ends Back On 7 Aug 2013 06:55 Very nice.
  8. Fried Stator? 6Th Gen.. 12 Jun 2013 04:22 Gotta cool the metal somehow. Same basic principle as any oil/air cooled engine IMO. Just another bad design.
  9. Fried Stator? 6Th Gen.. 6 Jun 2013 06:15 Sweet! Glad you got that sorted. Me too! It's an odd feeling watching my voltage sit that high. Shows the excellent quality of the VFRness, IMO.
  10. Fried Stator? 6Th Gen.. 6 Jun 2013 03:28 Installed the VFRness and new stator. Voltage is sitting at about 14.4-14.5 across the board. :) :) :)
  11. Fried Stator? 6Th Gen.. 4 Jun 2013 05:14 Seb should make a clear stator cover, then we can at least look at them and maybe tell. LOL
  12. Fried Stator? 6Th Gen.. 4 Jun 2013 03:18 Finally pulled my stator this weekend. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this thing has the Colonel's secret recipe hidden somewhere... [image: Stator] Stator [image: stator2] stator2
  13. Gutted/no Exhaust Tune? 6Th Gen 7 May 2013 03:23 I've had mine gutted, and no PC or any other kind of fuel adjuster. I have no issues with popping, that I can recall... maybe when I rev match to downshift, but my Katana did the same thing.
  14. Yet Another Crispy Connector 4 May 2013 03:39 The $hit that should have been supplied on the wiring harnesses from the factory... :mad:
  15. Ok, I'm Stoopid... Chain Adjustment? 3 May 2013 11:32 tomoyzf13 think my adjuster is siezed or bliming tight...ive used the correct spanner & it wont turn either way....can anyone help... Have you loosened the nut?
  16. Yet Another Crispy Connector 3 May 2013 09:38 What about using Posi-tite? Those are supposed to be waterproof.
  17. Fried Stator? 6Th Gen.. 25 Apr 2013 05:01 Pulled each wire from the stator side of the connector and retested them. Pretty much the same results when going from the connector to ground on the frame. Also checked the AC voltage when idling, and it was in the…
  18. 6Th Gen Front And Rear Lens Tinting... 24 Apr 2013 10:06 Still working on the pics, sorry. I'm going to do a before and after, once I get the LEDs installed.
  19. Fried Stator? 6Th Gen.. 24 Apr 2013 03:03 My bike is currently at 39,400. I'm not sure if it's the original stator, but given what I know about the bike, it wouldn't really surprise me if it was. As for the Ox-Guard. It may be an oxide inhibitor, but it is a…
  20. Fried Stator? 6Th Gen.. 23 Apr 2013 04:54 Yeah, I shot them with a can of electrical connector cleaner, let it dry, then put Ox-guard on each connector. I hadn't thought about tightening the female ends.
  21. Fried Stator? 6Th Gen.. 23 Apr 2013 03:11 Ok, well, I recently replaced my battery (a different thread) and the voltage seemed ok. Took the bike out for a ride today, the first one since I put the new battery in, and within a couple of hours the voltage was…
  22. 10 Second Vfr 22 Apr 2013 03:29 What do strips normally require of someone riding off the street to have a go at a 1/4 mile? I'd be interested to see what my bike is capable of, but not all that interested in a lot of prep work. Thinking of dragging a…
  23. 6Th Gen Modified Stock Exhaust End Caps 20 Apr 2013 03:09 I called my buddy after shortly before I made the video. After I reved it a few times for him, he sounded panicked and said "Are you there?! Are you still alive?!" Me: "Yes... why?" Him: "Man, you bike sounded PISSED!…
  24. 6Th Gen Modified Stock Exhaust End Caps 18 Apr 2013 03:19 Video clip, as promised. It was from my phone, so not sure if the deep tone will sound right. http://s301.photobuc...6b72c8.mp4.html
  25. Yet Another Crispy Connector 17 Apr 2013 06:36 Sounds like it's time to upgrade the connector.
  26. Yet Another Crispy Connector 17 Apr 2013 04:06 Awesome, thanks! I just pulled ALL the connectors on that side of the bike and cleaned them yesterday. Put Ox-Guard on them while I was there as well.
  27. 6Th Gen Front And Rear Lens Tinting... 17 Apr 2013 03:18 Looks very cool. Now the questions: How many coats is that? Any chance of a photo of the lights illuminated? I am wondering how much darker they are when on. Thanks! That is about 2 coats. They might have been heavier…
  28. 6Th Gen Modified Stock Exhaust End Caps 17 Apr 2013 03:16 Nice! :fing02: Anyway you can get video up? with a few revs? I will try to get something once I get all my wiring finished up. :)
  29. Yet Another Crispy Connector 17 Apr 2013 03:15 This might be a dumb question, but where is that connector? Is it different on the 6th gen?
  30. 6Th Gen Front And Rear Lens Tinting... 16 Apr 2013 10:33 So, I wasn't a fan of the yellow/orange color of the front and rear turn signals. Solution? Grab some VHT Night Shades and tint them a bit. *Just a word of caution. when they say a light coat, they mean a LIGHT coat.…
  31. 6Th Gen Modified Stock Exhaust End Caps 16 Apr 2013 08:47 OMG, your exhaust mod blew your rear wheel off! Yeah, it was so loud it scared the rear wheel. And... I noticed a definite difference in the exhaust note. I think before it was reverberating and making more of a tinny…
  32. 6Th Gen Modified Stock Exhaust End Caps 16 Apr 2013 04:38 Picture, as promised: [image: gallery_25786_6804_296935.jpg]
  33. Interesting Battery Article 12 Apr 2013 04:03 Ugh... my brain hurts... :wacko: Great info though!
  34. 6Th Gen Modified Stock Exhaust End Caps 11 Apr 2013 03:27 Should have the wiring and such done within the week. So updated pics will probably show up around the 20th or so. :wink:
  35. Possible deaddying battery voltage questions 10 Apr 2013 10:22 I have such a manager too, but luckily she's a biker too and rather let the children starve then leave the bike in the shed for an extra sunny day :bliss: :laugh: :beer: Mine usually does as well, but I bought too many…
  36. Possible deaddying battery voltage questions 10 Apr 2013 09:15 You need a taxreturn for a 30~40 euro/dollar battery? Simply get the cheapest battery you can find, as those lead batteries are all the same and all die somewhere after 6 years. I fail to see why you keep searching…
  37. Possible deaddying battery voltage questions 10 Apr 2013 03:45 Oh, lots of good input here. Let me try to adress some of the comments... spud786 - I did a ground test, and there was no reading at all - which I read was a good thing. Although, I didn't have it on the highest…
  38. Possible deaddying battery voltage questions 9 Apr 2013 04:27 I think I tried it running once, and it was in the upper 12's. On a side note, I pulled the stator connectors and tested them today. They were all sitting around 1.7 ohm's, assuming I had my meter on the right setting.…
  39. Possible deaddying battery voltage questions 5 Apr 2013 10:44 It will probably be at least another week or 2 before I get a new battery. Once I do, I will feel a lot better about starting to check for possible issues. I have looked at and cleaned a few connectors and wires…
  40. Oil Overfilling, What Could Happen? 29 Mar 2013 10:06 Too much oil can "suffocate" your engine. Engines are basically air pumps, and if you have too much oil in the system, your engine can't "breathe" properly. It can also cause some bad side effects if left that way and…
  41. ::: Western Vietnam Short Ride 22 Mar 2013 11:08 Man... Just finished watching an episode of Top Gear, where they had to travel from Hanoi to Ha Long. Between the stuff I saw in that episode, and the pictures you post up... Makes me want to go visit and take a nice…
  42. Possible deaddying battery voltage questions 19 Mar 2013 04:08 Thanks all for the tips.
  43. Possible deaddying battery voltage questions 7 Mar 2013 05:55 Check the charging system to be safe. Those are classic signs of a battery that no longer pulls its weight. Replace it. :sleep: I've been checking connections and such as I go. I know it had the recall done, and the…
  44. Possible deaddying battery voltage questions 7 Mar 2013 04:55 Ok, so I really have no idea how old the battery I have in my '03 is. I purchased the bike about September of last year. Anyway... the start of things: Before I parked the bike for the winter, by friend took it out for…
  45. Superlite Steel Rear Sprocket 27 Feb 2013 12:25 I like it.
  46. Superlite Steel Rear Sprocket 27 Feb 2013 06:45 Whoa... yeah, I'm not sure what the weight on this one would be if I were to trim it even more in the areas that aren't bolted.
  47. Superlite Steel Rear Sprocket 27 Feb 2013 04:18 YoshiHNS I knew they did rotors with different hole patterns, but not wheels. From the website: *This part number is double drilled with two bolt patterns so it fits all VFR 750/800 models from 1990-2009. At least now I…
  48. Superlite Steel Rear Sprocket 26 Feb 2013 09:20 The Phantom 91talon Ordered one for my 6th gen, but it will also fit from 1990+ VFRs Only if they have separate part numbers - one for 3rd-5th Gen, and one for 6th Gen. For some reason Honda changed the sprocket bolt…
  49. Superlite Steel Rear Sprocket 26 Feb 2013 06:31 Ordered one for my 6th gen, but it will also fit from 1990+ VFRs, I like the powdercoated black look and for fun decided to weigh it at work. It came in at 1.4 lbs. Not bad for $54 shipped. I'm pretty sure the one I…
  50. Opinion On This Battery: Xtax12-Bs Xtreme Permaseal Agm Battery 26 Feb 2013 04:17 AGM's in my area usually run the area of $100+, so there is very little cost savings between the two. Buying local , you'll pay double usually, especially for an agm. But the st 1300 agm will cost more than the standard…
