Last 50 of 181- My 1997 750 is back on the road Great refresh and summary presentation
- Security bolt install tool ? could always go by your local honda dealer and see what they say... i would assume they can look it up, perhaps if you're lucky they have experience replacing ignition and actually know what you're talking about
- Security bolt install tool ? Agreeing with the thought that they are probably not necessary... can you just match the thread and buy standard bolts instead of the security ones?
- Bar risers revisited. Haven't done my 5g yet, but on my 6g I had Heli's... bike got hit and knocked over and one bent. I found a member selling used Gen-Mar risers, which are equivalent to Moto-CNC. I think they are great and not far off the…
- Noise after cam chain tensioner replacement I also have an 02... my clutch rattles at idle. Pull the lever a little, it gets quiet. Possible you were hearing that as well
- We are starting the year off in good shape for VFRD Thank you and agreed this forum is top notch
- 520 Chain Conversion I'm at about 10k km or 6k mi...so far so good
- 520 Chain Conversion Agree, i went -1+2 on a 520 setup on my 6g and its a noticeable difference. Chain was due anyway so it was a necessary replacement item... sprocketcenter pricing was fair and shipping was reasonable to Canadia
- Seat options? Watch and wait for used Corbin. I've done that for my Ninja500 and my 02 VFR. Paid $250 for both, years apart, in like-new condition. Deals are out there if you have patience... I've seen Sargeant and Corbin used in…
- Chain loosening, slipping rear hub? You guys are so good... looking forward to OP confirming which option it is, but i bet you've nailed it I had the washer/hose-holder "ring" snap off last year... glad I went to Honda and replaced. My first thought was…
- Frankenbolt / Frankenstein bolt I feel like someone just ordered the frankebolts for their 5g in a recent thread... have you searched? I'm sure someone posted about them still being available sometime in the past month or so (i bought a 5g in August…
- Story Time! The day was going oh so well... Ouch... you ok?
- Barn Find - need help please Not trying to hijack the thread, but I'm about to start digging into the non-running 99 i bought... Danno would that exact noid light work on a 5th gen and a 6th gen ?
- 750f rc24 drive sprocket nut broken inside? Can you see a piece of it sheared off in the hole? Shine a light and look for a matching sheared end to the bolt?
- Limited Edition HRC Mechanics Boxes Great idea, great work
- Rear hub flew off of my '92 Please do post some pics of the front sprocket area once uncovered so we can see if the chain did any damage... really good that you are OK, that could have been scary with a chain on the fly...
- Vibrations at higher load and RPM, specially with passanger Abnormal. Check your chain & sprockets. Check your tires for uneven wear, and pressure. The sound you mention, it could be the CCT failing (look up vids for sound to compare). But if it slows when you pull the clutch,…
- Maximum opening angle of OEM saddlebag? My 6g probably only goes to 60, not near as flat as Grum's Thats a great idea for the bags to lay flat like that. I bought mine secondhand though and they had been re painted so its possible the retaining straps aren't…
- 54 yrs old and back on the roads 6th gen 800. No offense to all of us, but this site is becoming more for old farts daily 🙂 can't believe i'm coming up on a decade of VFR-ownership, and I've made my 40's... pics of the new ride?
- Is this a good deal? Looks great... I think the exhaust suits it well. Let us know what you think about the sound while riding!
- 2014 VFR 800 - My first impressions Agreed with everything Cogswell said. I intend to keep my 02 for as many decades as I can. As much as I'm excited to get my new-to-me 99 in running condition this winter, I'm already considering NEXT winter's project to…
- MBD and me... Its a great question and I will try the various rust removal techniques... this appears to be the original tank, it has yellow paint underneath the orange. Would be great to save it; visually its ok with no real dents…
- MBD and me... A little background, then lots of pics! August 22 2012 I purchased my 2002 VFR800... I've been on VFRD for the duration of this time and its been a tremendous resource. [image:…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- Agree with Cogswell, no flies on you... had that engine stripped to find the problem in no time... now the replacement almost back in... impressive! Hope it all works out well for you, its a beauty of an 8g you have…
- 1998 Clutch Lift Rod I had the same challenge on my 02... and i tried to force it, and ultimately thats never a good idea and I did some damage to one of the seals on the slave piston. That forced me to pull the slave, clean and rebuild,…
- New 6th gen owner The best colour scheme! Great choice 😀 [image: 20200519_122929.thumb.jpg.4a12556fc23eb95241b2c9401602d025.jpg]
- Oil Changes, Hot vs. Cold LOL Grum beat me to it... can't wait to see the engine swap to get that in a VFR! Only q is what gen it fits best in... based on the dimensions, I'm thinking air cooled
- Oil Changes, Hot vs. Cold Very interesting... cold changes it is!
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- One of my coworkers bought the first 2010 released in Canada, pre ordered and paid for. Waited a year for it. Was so excited - at less than 10k km, engine grenaded. I don't remember exactly but bearings were involved.…
- 02 starter running Di electric grease yes
- 02 starter running Didn't take any further pictures. Did my best at the lineman splice. Im not experienced at soldering but it all was secure. Heat shrink and tape. Taped all 3 wire runs securely together and double checked all wiring…
- 02 starter running Fixed 😄
- 02 starter running New part arrived. Funny enough it was cheaper to buy it WITH the starter relay, versus without. You read that correctly! The relay will just go in the spares bin as long as my Honda part checks out ok. [image:…
- 02 starter running Yes i had also switched the rr to a mosfet about 8 years ago. I really went through everything except the stator itself. Mosfet rr. Redid the stator yellow wire connection. Vfrness. New honda oem starter relay. new red…
- 02 starter running PC5/Autotune Fiamm horn Voltmeter USB charger speedoDRD battery tender lead I don't think any of that stuff would be a problem, some is hooked up through a fuse block I don't understand either why the red wire would…
- 02 starter running Rest of the wiring down to the taped junction is fine [image: 20210626_093610.thumb.jpg.439d0c91322bbb5221376c1a8e3ff889.jpg]
- 02 starter running Start opening up the tape on the wiring behind the red connector... looky here... it melted through the wire insulation [image: 20210626_091316.thumb.jpg.0375d8c7a8d761429fc630069d9e2e76.jpg] Better view ... can see the…
- 02 starter running Thanks for this... will definitely try the splitting of red wire into 2 spades into the starter relay. All for it if it shares the load and reduces the chance of recurrence, since its now the 2nd time since I've owned…
- 02 starter running Totally hear what you are saying Question though - could this be a red herring? Since the starter was engaged for a longer period of time than normal (ie not normal cranking, but stuck engaged), could the longer flow of…
- 02 starter running Not the prettiest ever (see below) but I dont see the red and red/yellow wires touching. Not the greatest pic angle. Im wondering if the connector melted between the spade connectors for those two wires, ie inside the…
- 02 starter running Didnt have time to test but took a quick look at the starter relay. It looked like new, for what its worth (nada). Red connector has some melting. Looks like some charring inside the terminal and maybe on the red/yellow…
- 02 starter running Thanks so much guys. I will get at it by this weekend... maybe after work if I get motivated (ie the wife's list is short!) It was probably 7 or 8 years ago at least that I replaced the starter relay (OEM from local…
- 02 starter running Hoping Grum will chime in on this one! Got home from a ride, stopped and put the bike in neutral on sidestand (running) to open the garage door. Heard a weird sound, wasn't sure under the helmet. Clutched in and put in…
- I know I'll regret it, but always wanted to do white wheels on a 5th gen. I'm just going to drop this picture and continue on my way...
- VFR 2003 Exhaust Pipes - Stainless or not? They are stainless... my 02 had a bit of a rougher life before i got it, but even with surface corrosion on the pipes i was able to get it mostly off the front downpipes with some good scrubbing... used a green scotch…
- 2015 White VFR 800 for sale Sparkie's making a fair point but I've not seen any '14/15's in Canada approaching 5500.... people still want that kind of coin for their 6gen VFR's. I'd say based on prices i see around the country, if you can get into…
- Used VFR 800 question If it looks good and runs well, and the fairings are all attached securely and line up nicely, I would still consider buying. The feedback above is valid and I would suspect fairings are aftermarket (or at least…
- Vtec Shock Options That'll work! I like the black remote canister, looks sleek At some point I removed the front zip tie showing in my old pic above.... the other two are relatively 'straight' and are not noticeable No issues in the 4…
- Help me price my 6th gen OEM side bags and mounting hardware I paid $500 canadian for a used set for my 2002 in similar condition about 5 years ago, if that helps.
- Cam Chain Tensioner, Without Throttle Body Removal Rice, 9/11/2009 at 5:05 PM Good post, TW. Just to add a little tidbit from personal experience. If you do nothing else right, these three things MUST be done. 1 - Don't be a lazy bestid and remove that hose. 2 - The CCT…
