All 13- best way to pull flywheel on 2002? I've decided on the OEM stator since experiences with aftermarket stators varies. The OEM stator lasts at least ~20,000 miles or so. The OEM 2002 stator is no longer available as it is superseded by the 2003-2009…
- best way to pull flywheel on 2002? Seems the stator after 24k has finally shed the ghost. The charging voltage at idle drops from 13.1V to the low 12s with either the high beams or radiator on. Last I checked a year or so ago the idle voltage was 14.2V.…
- I Got A Bent Brake Disk, What To Do? Assuming the run-out and thickness are within specification and the rotor does not have any grooves, used is fine. After all, the other rotor on your motorcycle is "used" and works fine. How did you determine the rotor…
- Got Myself A New Stator, New Regulator/rectifier And Some New Cables... Why Is My Voltage Dropping With Hi-Beams On? This is pretty important... the connectors are often the weak spots on the charging system. Make sure to clean all the connectors with contact cleaner and consider applying Ox-Gard or similar to them. You can pick up…
- 6Th Gen: Led Headlight Conversion Unobtanium, apparently, since the headlight unit alone costs >$1000. Switchblade Wonder what the 8th gen uses for it's LED's ?
- Replacement Horn The Federal Signal Rumbler siren is the horn all of us should aspire to... http://www.nytimes.c...n/27critic.html http://www.publicsaf...com/ferusi.html
- 8Th Gen Finally On Us Soil That's $452 for each of the two front rotors. Not regularly checking front pad wear could potentially be a $900 mistake. The LED unit is some sort of control module, not the actual bulb. I don't see a separate part…
- 8Th Gen Finally On Us Soil Accessories are familiar ($MSRP)... Hugger Kit $90 Trunk Pad $100 Trunk Liner $95 Liner Set, Saddlebag $130 Pannier $950-975 Top Box $375-400 Carrier, RR Kit $370 Rear Trunk Base $400 Cylinder Inner Set $20 Main Stand…
- Givi E22 Those are listed at 22L, but look larger. Can you put a full-face helmet in one saddlebag? Lint, not sure if you're aware of this, but if you're looking for hard luggage for your Italian Red VFR, it's hard to beat the…
- Starter Valve Syncing And Low Speed Throttle Response HighSideNZ, great post. I've been wondering how to sync the valves and from what I've read it seems the 5th generation set-up is the smoothest. What other configurations did you try and what were the results?
- Time For A New Battery? Most likely the battery (5 years sounds about right for a Honda OEM m/c battery), though now is a good time to check the charging voltage at the battery, clean/Oxgard the electrical connectors, etc.
- Side Stand Bolt I replaced one of the mirror mounting bolts with an identical-looking one from Home Depot for 1/4 the price of OEM. But it started rusting almost immediately and I ended up replacing it with the overpriced OEM bolt…
- Battery Options, Feedback, Advice The Yuasa is definitely fix-it-and-forget-it. It fires up the VFR crisply every time, even in 30F weather. If you want to save some money, you might want to try the Motocross brand... it's made by Yuasa and is…
