Last 50 of 137- Hesitation, Stumbling, And Occasional Surging - What Are We Missing? I found your thread searching for solutions for my '02 doing much the same thing. I've put 4+ thermostats in mine. It still runs a little cooler than I remember it, but at least it's mostly staying at operating temp. If…
- Vtec Shock Options Baileyrock Great! and congrats! BTW is the spacer on the top or bottom of the shock? BR Spacer is in the bracket that goes through the frame on the upper mount. I should have taken a pic of it before installation.…
- Automotive thermostat replacement for VFR800??? 2thdr 1TallTXn 2thdr The tstats on ST1300's seem to fail with great regularity too... Had to replace one in my '03. At least they were easier to get to than the VFR That's what I've heard...I need to do mine. Only…

- Automotive thermostat replacement for VFR800??? wagigkpn 1TallTXn wagigkpn Well the honda unit and oring were less than 40 bucks so what are you really saving? Not worth the risk... Maybe you can say it has an aftermarket thermostat when selling? Time of shipping,…

- Automotive thermostat replacement for VFR800??? I'll add a few tid bits. Sadly, they're not details on what non-Honda thermostat to buy. The Honda part number for the thermostat is: 19300-MBG-003 $25.76 The O-Ring you really should get with it is part number:…
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS Blast, my eyeball-o-meter is miscalculated by 1-4mm :laugh:
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS Oh, I forgot to mention that the F4 shock puts the preload adjuster at the bottom of the shock. This may be great for the CBR, but our fat SSSAs get in the way. I'll get a better shot of that this evening (hopefully)…
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS Photo of finished intall? Please? I included a quick shot in my last post, is there anything else you'd like? Beyond the trimming of the battery box, it's a bolt-in. Oh, I forgot to mention that the F4 shock puts the…
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS Jamie hooked me up with a shiny F4 shock. Got it installed over the weekend. Only needed minor trimming of the wire tray around the battery and a couple zip ties to hold the reservoir in place. [image: Posted Image]…
- Vtec Shock Options After a bit of a hassle, with a 929 shock simply not having room without modifying both sides of the LBS bracket, I got a F4/i shock modded by JamieD and got that installed. Only mods required were a bit of trimming of…
- Engine shut off after hard acceleration I've had my '02 die, but it's never been on hard-throttle upshifts, it's always when shifting down. Usually when I'm planning on engine braking. No clue what's causing it, but I have had good service from SeaFoam. By no…
- Hi ya from Newbe ( just bought 03 ) [image: View Post]mneal, on 03 October 2012 - 05:53 AM, said: What do you guys typically do with helmets while out riding? I know the are the hooks under the seat but the seat removal and re-install seems cumbersome but…
- Front End Fork Recommendations- Race Tech Emulators? I got a smoking deal on a set of Ohlins valve and springs for the front of mine. Worth it's weight in gold. My original plan was to install RaceTechs myself, but this deal undercut what it would cost me. I've installed…
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS 929 shock shipped back to JD to be swapped for a F4 shock. Will update when that comes in.
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS spent another 20+ min messing with that shock this evening. Still the same result. I can get the shock *almost* in place, but not quite. It's hitting on the bracket as shown in the pics above and cannot be moved…
- Vtec Shock Options Beck I wonder if you can wrap the reservoir portion of the 929 shock in some sort of reflective heat shield/refractory batting material to deflect the engine heat...... Beck 95 VFR That crossed my mind. Hot rodders…
- VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's I have a 2000 Sprint RS that sleeps with my 05 VFR. I hope they use protection. I'm not sure what kinda offspring that would result in :tongue:
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS I didn't have to "force" anything, it just slipped right in. The bracket on the left has enough space for the reservoir to slot in there or at least it does on my bike. BTW, mine is an '02 model as well. In insight, the…
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS I got it in too.! Jamie had been of great help through the process, you in fact he is still helping me with the forks as I stuffed that up myself. All you need to get installed is to remove Jamie's bracket before…

- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS Slowhare, your '07 must have a different LBS bracket, or the shock reservoir is shorter than my '02. Yes, I know my valve cover gaskets are leaking, they'll be replaced when I do the next valve check here reasonably…
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS I got out and messed with the shock again this afternoon. I might be able to get the shock in IF I modify the left side brake mounting bracket. Combine that with the closeness of the res to the header, I think i'll be…
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS I think I failed to mention that JamieD did put his extender/adapter on the top of the 929 shock. I can clearly see how there ain't no way in heck that a stock 929 shock would bolt in. And that's ignoring the large…
- Spot one of our own in MotorCyclist November issue! I saw that blurb and was 99.99% convinced that that had to be Veefer800Canuck. The dead give-away was the nomenclature for naming your bike. Glad to see some VFR love and always good to see good folks in there too!
- VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's Sounds like you need to keep the ZRX and add touring mods converting it to a ST machine. Still lacking a fairing though. I owned a ST1300 along side my VFR800 for about a year. It was an excellent bike. Brilliant…

- What Suspension for the non-racer? I went the DMS route. Front end was rebuilt by Jamie a few years ago. Ohlins valves and new springs/oil/seals. Rear has been stock. I'm trying to figure out how to install a DMS-modded 929 shock now. For what it's…

- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS Update. After another 45min of jacking with it. I'm afraid that it really isn't going to fit. I trimmed some more plastic off of each side, I was able to get the shock *almost* where it belonged. Getting it there, I'm…
- CBR929 Shock fitment, '02 non-ABS Got a shiny modded CBR929 shock from Jamie on Friday and am trying to put it in. Bike is a 2002 VFR800 non-ABS. Everything involving the rear suspension is bone-stock. No troubles getting it in the general area, but I…
- Which heated grips for VFR? I have the Symtec grips and Helibars on mine. Full 2-thumbs up from me. I have mine wired through a relay-powered BlueSea fuse box under the seat.

- 6th Gen brake bleed issue 2002 VFR800 non-ABS. I have the FSM and have bled the brakes according to that procedure several times. I still have occasionally spongy brakes. I have access to a hand vacuum pump to allow bleeding the distribution…
- Windscreens I had a ZG DB in smoke. Looked good, but hated how the wind hit me at the base of the helmet. Replaced that with a MRA Touring Vario and have been quite pleased with it. Virtually stock profile with the spoiler down,…
- What did you own before your 6th Gen? XR200R VFR was my first street bike. Big bite, but I managed it. Since then, I had a ST1300, and now have a pair of GL1100's that I'm rebuilding. The VFR is still here and is my daily transport.
- MrHeeltoe''s RWB Build Thread My personal favorite exhaust is the Staintunes. Small block chevy at idle, Ferrari at 7,000+RPM Now if only they weren't ~$1500. I went more the touring route with my '02. Full OEM luggage Helibars MRA VarioTrouring…
- 6th Gen Running Cold. Unknown Cause I dug through the FSM and there is only one Engine Coolant Temp sensor. I'm beginning to wonder if I should fault the MAP or IAT sensors.

- 6th Gen Running Cold. Unknown Cause Last tank, my VFR surprised me by returning 42mpg. :ohmy: So far on this tank, I'm at 152mi and I just dropped into the 1/4 mark 4mi ago. Here's hoping its resolved itself!
