  2. Official 12Th Annual Texasmac Event Thread 2015 23 Apr 2015 19:52 Earthshake Baileyrock Sorry Ken, but you are NOT allowed to miss a Tmac!!! :mad: I say we raise a 2-stroke blender prepared strawberry margarita in his honor! Makes me think of this commercial:…

  5. Vfr848Rr Anyone ? 6 Sep 2013 14:07 Rush2112 I have a set of 929 pistons & rods in my garage... @ G-Rob: Dude, I know it has been done with 2mm overbore and 929 pistons on a 5th gen... but that only gets you 826cc and a 5.6% bump in displacement. I'm not…
  6. Vfr848Rr Anyone ? 5 Sep 2013 14:44 Rush2112 I believe the wrist pin to piston top is the same for the 5th gen VFR and CBR929... I don't know about the 954. VFR rods will work; but IIRC either the outer edge of the piston needs to be chamfered or the…
  7. Vfr848Rr Anyone ? 2 Sep 2013 21:01 so if the stars and planets aligned and the sleeves were fine after being bored the 2 or 3mm. Because the pistons share the same sleeve size then the 929/954 pistons will fit properly on a VFR rod. If we maintain the…
  8. Vfr848Rr Anyone ? 5 Aug 2013 20:00 sub'd :)

  10. 10 Second Vfr 22 Apr 2013 19:06 wow those straps make a difference, with a launch that hard i would have been wheelie-ing haha. Awesome run man!
  11. 10 Second Vfr 21 Apr 2013 20:05 great job man! a lot of people around here assume that a VFR is an under powered pig of a bike, and it is people like you that prove them wrong :)
  12. What Weight Fork Oil? 11 Apr 2013 01:52 ok so remove forks, take off caps and take springs out. Drain the old oil and pump kerosene or diesel through to clean out. Then pump clean fluid making sure to get rid of any cleaning solution, fully compress and fill…
  13. What Weight Fork Oil? 10 Apr 2013 17:43 WOW I would have to have a couple days of riding it before jumping on the track after all of that work but yeah 10W sounds good for your size. well between work commute and the rain i plan on doing oil tonight,…
  14. What Weight Fork Oil? 10 Apr 2013 04:48 After looking at the manual it says some special honda fork oil, named css8 or something like that. My question is after looking aroun some it seems that it is 7.5wt oil? Why does honda have to choose a weight oil that…
  15. Help, Need Chain Lube Advice... 3 Apr 2013 16:43 LOVE this stuff, chain is super quiet and eats this stuff up. If you do it after a long ride and let the lube sit over night there is NO fling-off. Keeps your chain, guard, wheels, and swingarm looking good, and your…
  16. Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec 29 Mar 2013 02:01 1.9 60ft isn't bad at all man, 1.8 is damn fast with a 1.6 being insane, even for a lot of cars. Now of course theres drag cars and so forth that will cut 1.2-1.4's but 1.8 would be really fast, that is really getting…
  17. Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec 25 Mar 2013 02:58 Sounds like a plan! I had my stocke headers ceramic coated and it makes traffic nice haha. Would love to see the dyno charts, I plan on doing a very basic tuning until I get on a dyno or get a A/F gauge for mine

  21. Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec 20 Mar 2013 21:24 I have used many glowshift gauges (www.glowshiftdirect.com) and haven't had and issues except with their fuel pressure senders going hay wire from time to time. We've used A/F gauges, pyro, boost, EGT's, oil press, oil…
  22. Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec 20 Mar 2013 06:20 CandyRedRC46 Yup o2 sensors are deleted. Unfortunately I have not found a way to run a wide band yet. I will probably just get a dyno tune done in a few months after I do a few more things. you will probably have to run…
  23. Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec 20 Mar 2013 01:35 CandyRedRC46 This is where I am at so far and I have not heard any knocking what so ever yet.

  26. Short & Simple Shinko 009 Raven Review 10 Mar 2013 18:32 5000 mile update... tires are still on and still working! I know some guys not want to hear it but i like these tires a lot. There don't seem to be any issues with them and they have a surprising amount of tread left :)…
  27. Delkevic Exhaust W/ High Rise Mid-Pipe 8 Mar 2013 16:40 Uhhhh-huh.... Suuuuuure.... :pinocchio: :) did you no see the explosion of a thread of my electrical issues? haha
  28. New Chain/sprockets 4 Mar 2013 19:29 so a 520 chain won't last long? the 520 chains are still rated to the power of the VFR, even my buddies z1000 with 120 hp and 70 ft/lbs came with a 520 chain? im guessing they just won't last 20-25k miles like the 530's…
  29. New Chain/sprockets 4 Mar 2013 06:24 VFR 800F 98-01 are the 520 chain conversions worth it?
  30. Gen. 6th Vfr: The Brake Lines Are Now Runnging Through The Swingarm! 28 Feb 2013 21:04 Basically the rear braking system is the same for both gens. The fronts are slightly different. So if it just moving the lines into the swingarm, then its fine. I had to totally delink mine to fit the single nut rear…
  31. Gen. 6th Vfr: The Brake Lines Are Now Runnging Through The Swingarm! 28 Feb 2013 04:02 I own that bike but can't answer your question because Seb did the work Maybe he'll chime in shortly and help you out. He lives in upstate New York so getting him to do job probably won't happen (I lived in Philadelphia…
  32. Gen. 6th Vfr: The Brake Lines Are Now Runnging Through The Swingarm! 28 Feb 2013 02:35 i know this is super old... but will the same ends work for the 5th gen at the PCV? I know the calipers are the same and the holes are the same but curious since the PCV is on the opposite side of the bike on the 6th gen
  33. Chain Guard Removed... 27 Feb 2013 16:50 Take a look at what a loose chain can do to casings. I wouldn't want it to have any extra room for wrapping my ankle if it does come loose! http://www.vfrdiscus...ewly-dipped-04/ I don't think a flimsy piece of plastic…
  34. Custom Devil Dual Underseat Exhaust System 27 Feb 2013 15:42 Bet they sound good too with the size. Little 'spensive but thank you for the update and thoughts :) Edited February 27, 2013 by daword2011
  35. Chain Guard Removed... 27 Feb 2013 09:00 its been done. mostly people fish a braided stainless line through the swingarm to the rear caliper. google vfr swingarm brake line mod and you'll see what's up with that wow looking at the mod really cleans up the look…
  36. Chain Guard Removed... 27 Feb 2013 06:43 My first thought is that your swingarm pivots up and down so you don't want it attached to anything fixed like the rear passenger peg bracket. -Drew I took it in to consideration i was thinking the same thing, after…
  37. Chain Guard Removed... 27 Feb 2013 03:59 Does anyone else think that their VFR looks WAY better without the chain guard? Took it off because the original owner always used used motor oil to lube his chain, which while it works, it flings black crap over…
  38. Delkevic Exhaust W/ High Rise Mid-Pipe 26 Feb 2013 21:55 What happened to that crazy extension thing you built? Couldn't you just change the angle of that bracket? I'm still working on my exhaust system but I'm basically working with the same pieces you are. Here's what my…
  39. Delkevic Exhaust W/ High Rise Mid-Pipe 26 Feb 2013 20:16 problem arises is where you still need to line up the lower mount for the center stand. I can make the pipe higher causing the exhaust to be higher (and at more of an angle) but the center stand stop would be crooked.…
  40. Make Your Own O2 Sensor Eliminators 26 Feb 2013 19:34 So does the PCV allow timing changes on my y2k vfr? Earlier it was said that PCIII cannot do timing adjustments... And timing is essential to gaining the most power, adding fuel only gets you so far before you need to…
  41. Custom Devil Dual Underseat Exhaust System 22 Feb 2013 06:32 Veefer800Canuck it doesn't sound like much, but that's an extra centimeter for both cans combined. I can have a look and see if they might fit, but it would be really close, if at all. its more food for thought anyhow…
  42. Custom Devil Dual Underseat Exhaust System 21 Feb 2013 18:17 Looking at Dan moto cans are 3.54" around and a sleeve length of 11.8" with 2.02" inlets... Length and inlet seem ok but wondering if the cans are too large in diameter to fit in there side by side... FYI: They said…
  43. Custom Devil Dual Underseat Exhaust System 20 Feb 2013 07:05 Veefer800Canuck OK, BRB. 3.341" diameter, 16.75" length (canister body only, excluding inlet and outlet spigots) Inlet spigot I.D. for the cans is 1.625" awesome thanks so much for the prompt info :)
  44. Custom Devil Dual Underseat Exhaust System 20 Feb 2013 05:21 yeah i am interested to know, ive been eye balling a pair of Dan moto titanium cans that a buddy has left off of his z1000... they're 2" inlet which seems like it may be a hassle but maybe they sell smaller…
  45. Custom Devil Dual Underseat Exhaust System 20 Feb 2013 04:46 do you remember what the diameter of the cans were? thinking of going down this road someday :wheel:
  46. Good Idea? 15 Feb 2013 17:27 I'm confused...to the OP, are you the same guy that didn't want to revalve your forks when doing new springs only because you wanted to save money? I only mention it because unless you have a buddy or some other…
  47. Good Idea? 14 Feb 2013 04:27 that orange one is all custom, thats custom body work and inverted forks and a lot of other stuff. But i want to paint those heel guards too. Any other input on my million questions? haha
  48. Good Idea? 13 Feb 2013 22:50 So I was thinking that soon i will be doing a full overhaul of my motorcycle before i leave for TexasMac... On that list, but now won't be happening because of monetary restraints, was getting my road rash and cracks…
  49. Cheap And Easy Suspension Upgrade? 13 Feb 2013 05:25 Thank you for the in depth response. When it comes to te front forks I am confident that when i replace the springs that I know what I am doing. As for the rear shock how can I remove the spring from its location to put…
  50. Cheap And Easy Suspension Upgrade? 11 Feb 2013 23:15 I had my front and rear shocks done a year ago and this made a big difference, but added a new spring to the front last week. I wish I had of coughed up the $$$ and had it all done at one as the difference is amazing.…
