Last 50 of 139- Meter panel removal. I’m an idiot can someone help me Thank you sir. You helped me figure it out. I got them out. Compared to a 5th Gen, the fairings and trims on a 6th are a royal PITA. I have now noticed both inner panels are missing. 🙄 Why, why do people do half assed…
- Meter panel removal. I’m an idiot can someone help me I need to adjust the head light aim and cannot get these panels off.
- FI light not flashing It’s my 6th Gen I’m working on right now. I did read the article though. I’ll be checking the synch on my 5th in the near future. It would be nice if I had a set of gauges that displays mmhg not cmhg.
- FI light not flashing Thanks for the help and the compliment. The paint has some flaws but I got a decent deal on her. (I think) $3,500 with under 28K. I hope the slow speed surging and the hesitation when the vtec kicks in is remedied now.…
- FI light not flashing Side stand was up. Thank you so much. Had no idea the side stand would effect that.
- FI light not flashing I have been trying to resolve a surging issue at slow speed and a hesitation before the vtec engages. I’ve done a starter valve sync twice now. Once with the MAP sensor connected (no vacuum) as per the manual and once…
- 6th Gen 2007 California model (if that matters) Couple problems after a throttle body synch. 2 hours ago, Cogswell The surging / hesitation issue is not uncommon on gen 6s. Whether yours is related to the starter valve synch I don't know. I've never synched mine but did have the surging / stumbling issue. What…
- 6th Gen 2007 California model (if that matters) Couple problems after a throttle body synch. The throttle bodies are well balanced now but now when in 1st gear going slow and opening the throttle just enough to maintain speed I am having surging and also just before the vtec engages there is a slight…
- Wanted to say a hello and how happy I am with my 5th Gen It's been quite a while since I've posted/visited this fine site. I've been seeing posts on Face Book recently and most are electrical problems regarding the R/R's. Including newer model VFR's. A few years ago I…
- '99 And '00 Throttle Bodies Differences? I didn't realized that would work on a 5th gen. Has anyone here done this? How much is involved to make it work?
- '99 And '00 Throttle Bodies Differences? Thank you for the pics. I can see it would take some work to fit a wax unit on it....bummer.
- '99 And '00 Throttle Bodies Differences? Anyone have a pic of the top of their '99 throttle body? Want to see if a wax unit will bolt on. Really don't want to go through putting a cable on.
- '99 And '00 Throttle Bodies Differences? I think California should be it's own country. :goofy:
- '99 And '00 Throttle Bodies Differences? Thanks Rush. I'll keep looking.
- '99 And '00 Throttle Bodies Differences? Looking at buying a '99 model throttle body. It's a California bike. Are there differences in the California models verses non California bikes? Do the '99's have wax units? Cheers, Jeffrey

- Water pump leak I just looked at the price of a new one. OMG.!! Anyone have a parts bike with a water pump they could sell? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Water pump leak Thank you Rovari and KenCarver, I was thinking the same on automotive pumps. I've read that replacing seal #25 would fix it and I've also read that replacing the pump is the fix. So I had to post a question about it.…
- Water pump leak If the water pumps are leaking coolant from the weep hole...can this be fixed with a new o-ring (#25) or does the water pump itself need to be replaced? Thanks folks, Jeffrey

- More Complex Than What I Am Used To...'86 Vf500F If the the engine will not rev high, it is possible you have a torn cv boot or it is not seated/sealed at the cap. A way of testing this is to (carbs assembled) lift the slides with your fingers all the way up. Then let…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Update: No fuel leaks. Bike does run well except for some surging under 3000 rpm's. Either the synchronizer gauge I have is inaccurate or I have done it wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Okie dokie Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots If it has not run in a while I would consider a cleaning. I can send you info to the guy I used. He is in New York State. Great guy to communicate with. Yes I'll help you if I can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

- Total Control Advanced Riding Clinics Hi David, Yep, after the class I met up with my girlfriend and her kids in Hendersonville for her birthday dinner at Cracker Barrel. From there it was dark, wet and WINDY but made it home safe. Thanks for the class…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Success!! No fuel leaks. Starter valves synched. New wax element installed and is working although it is sluggish to close the valves but seems to be getting better. I was able to make it to David's class this past…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Well my approach will be to set the fast idle speed with the wax unit first engine running. Then after the engine is warm synch the starter valves. The # 1 starter valve is not adjustable(factory pre-set and y'all know…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots New wax element ordered today. Hopefully I'll have it by Thursday because this Friday is the Level 1 Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic that I would absolutely hate my life if I missed it.
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Got the injectors back from Jim again and they all check out fine. This past Thursday night I got back together and running again.(no fuel leaks now) As for the wax unit...I tried another suggestion about bleeding the…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots I thought the wax unit was "relaxed" when cold and applies pressure as it gets hotter to close the starter valves? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots I did try a heat gun on it...it moves very slowly. Like Signal had stated it could have an air bubble in it. I have a rebuild kit for it. I'm going to try to bleed the air out of it by pulling off one of the hoses right…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Question for the gurus... Since a previous owner has "adjusted" the wax unit how would you go about setting it up like they did at the factory during assembly? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots I did that but....dumb....dumb...me. [image: emoji107.png] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Here's a valuable tip idiots like me....when installing your fuel injectors put them in the fuel rails first. I damaged two o-rings when I assembled it. I'm still sending them back to Jim because of the one injector…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots You are correct David and I have checked the oil level. Another late night so I can get them in the mail in the morning. Someday you and I will meet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Thank you very much. The guy who cleaned them wants me to call him. He guarantees his work and it sounds like he wants to help me with this. I will watch those videos for sure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots I will find Kaldek's post. Thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots The seals and seats including the "filters" inside them.were replaced. The cushions were not. I checked all the injectors for external leaks...no sighns of anything externally.
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Well that's the thing, they just got back from a cleaning. Fixing one problem has created two more. It's disappointing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Yes, it is running fine other than the wax unit. I'm new with fuel injectors. I'm assuming they can easily be disassembled? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Does anyone know how the coolant hoses are SUPPOSED to connect to the wax unit? (2000 model)
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots David, My life sucks. So, should I... A. Send it back to the guy who serviced it? B. Try to fix it myself? C. Run it like it is and see if fixes itself? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Well I found the source of the leak. Hard to see in a pic. The reflection is fuel puddling on the intake valves. This means the injector is bleeding down correct?[image: post-26694-14109208594432.jpg] Sent from my…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Ahh, after manipulating my head better to get a better look, it is the positive battery cable to the stared. [image: emoji16.png] probably can't see t in the pic it's not leaking at the moment and is drying up, I can…
