  1. Motorcycle hearing protection/earplugs 10 Sep 2019 16:26 VFR4Lee, 8/28/2019 at 8:48 PM I bought a variety pack with a whole mess of different plugs. Eventually decided I like the Moldex Comets (NRR25), and bought a box of 50 pairs. Speak up MaxSwell! What you saying? I can't…
  2. 1984 Miniceptor Refresh 20 Nov 2018 20:44 please please please talk them into something other than that horrid rear air shock... they were worthless new,.
  3. anyone know where to get custom sprokets? 10 May 2018 16:12 changing the sprockets will NOT fix anything.. the % error will still be there, and actually worse w/ a change in sprocket ratios.. your only real solution would be a device to do that electronically. Look into…
  4. 4th Gen - Emission and PAIR Valve Delete - Help Needed 3 Jan 2018 17:10 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-VFR-750-VFR750-Interceptor-Exhaust-Emissions-Plate-AIS-Smog-Block-Off-Kit-/232139921877
  5. 4th Gen - Emission and PAIR Valve Delete - Help Needed 3 Jan 2018 16:31 been a while since I did this on the 4th gen.. you shouldn't have an evap can (unless yours is somehow a CA bike) so that should make it a little easier.. I think i had just made block off plates (4 - one for each cyl)…
  6. 4th Gen - Emission and PAIR Valve Delete - Help Needed 3 Jan 2018 16:21 55 minutes ago, thewedge Anybody know if the VFR800 PAIR Valve Block off plates will fit the 4th gen 750? or am I stuck manufacturing my own? they are much different.
  7. Pc2 parameters ??? 11 Dec 2017 19:28 2 hours ago, SEBSPEED Might want to keep the PC2, newer ones don't allow ignition mapping well, the V does, but that doesn't help the VFR community. that aside, from what I've read/seen, the ignition mapping really…
  8. Pc2 parameters ??? 8 Dec 2017 21:16 30 minutes ago, Lint The people who make the power Commander will let you trade it in on something newer and give you credit for the old one. That will give you more options. what? you have any specific info on this…
  9. Can I powder coat this without damage? 29 Nov 2017 21:36 you'll need to pull the sight-glass and seals before powder coating..
  10. Broken instrument cluster 17 Nov 2017 19:15 if it's anything like the ones on the 4th gens, good luck. I tried melting them together, plastifix, and epoxy and none worked well enough to be considered a sucessful fix.. I know.. I'm not helpful.
  11. Pipe/Exhaust advice 6 Jun 2017 19:50 21 hours ago, Garville Thanks for the advice in which you all agree my headers are toast ? I will do a quick job for now to keep me going and suss out getting a set of Delkevic headers because they look amazing! Is…
  12. What torque did you use for the top steering nut for an All Balls tapered steering stem bearings?? 2 Jun 2017 20:26 I though I remembered it being something like 5ft-lbs.. it was all but finger tight...
  13. Pipe/Exhaust advice 1 Jun 2017 18:32 dang... for my 2 cents, I'd suggest replacing the system... if your header is rotted, so much that it crumbled off like that, then an adapter like you've mentioned is barely more than a band-aid.... holes will be…
  14. Replace '97 with a '01???? 23 May 2017 15:52 funny.. I've just done this very thing.. replaced the '94 with an '00.. I steered clear of the 6th gen because of the chains, unnecessary VTEC, etc.. so far my impressions are good. I'm adjusting to the FI and linked…
  15. Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations 5 May 2017 16:02 per owners manual (one in the download section if you don't have it) bike should be on the center stand and in neutral..slack is measured on bottom side of swingarm .8-1.2 inches of slack.. rotate wheel, and make sure…
  16. Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations 5 May 2017 14:36 stock is 17/43 sprockets, 108 links.
  17. Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations 4 May 2017 19:06 I've always gone w/ either DID, EK, or RK x-ring chains.. never had issues w/ any of them.. .all better than OEM. Steel sprockets are all about the same IMO.... only sprocket I've ever had issues w/ was an alum Vortex…
  18. New (to me) VFR. What's this plug by the seat on my 5th gen? 20 Mar 2017 14:55 some sort of power outlet. that's not factory.. prior owner probably added that for heated vest or such.
  19. Drive Dampeners 87 VFR700 15 Mar 2017 18:04 ebay? - quick search shows a couple listing from England for those... also look for 98-99 CBR900rr, should be the same.
  20. Power Commander 2 17 Feb 2017 14:48 LOL... probably have have 2 or 3 old laptops sitting in the den.. and a USB/serial cable or two laying around. The PO swapped pipes from an aftermarket back to a stock pipe (working on fixing that). My plan is to swap…
  21. Power Commander 2 16 Feb 2017 21:41 eventually I hope to do that.. and my final setup should be similar to yours.... this is mostly research on my part currently. since I really have no information on what's loaded in the bike or such...
  22. Power Commander 2 16 Feb 2017 21:32 46 minutes ago, wera803 Be careful with the ignition advance feature. I used one of Hispanic Slammers maps from his 98 that had the ignition advanced and my bike ran well right up until about 9k or 10k rpm where it…
  23. Power Commander 2 16 Feb 2017 15:57 thanks for the replies.. I'll start with the downloads and see what works. The plan is to switch over to the pre-2000 headers (to lose the cat and some weight) and then go w/ a '99 map. I'm to understand that the PCii's…
  24. Power Commander 2 15 Feb 2017 20:02 just picked up a 2000.. so yes, it's FI, and it has a PC2 on it already.
  25. Power Commander 2 15 Feb 2017 18:00 so, who knows about the Power Commander 2's? seems to be very limited information on Dynojet's site. Anyone have the software download and are the maps the same between the PC2 and the PC3's?
  26. bikes sold 25 Oct 2016 19:28 sooo tempted... dilemas...
  27. Two Bros. Left side exhaust 21 Jul 2016 19:44 shot in the dark here, but could that exhaust possibly utilize the stock rear pipes? I dunno because I've never seen those in person...
  28. Gen 4 LED H4 headlights with high beam modulate? 6 Jul 2016 16:29 SH775 (I think) lol.. been about a year since I wired it up.
  29. Gen 4 LED H4 headlights with high beam modulate? 6 Jul 2016 16:14 sorry, I should have stated a series-type r/r, not mosfet.. the R1 I had fitted I believe was shunt-style.
  30. Gen 4 LED H4 headlights with high beam modulate? 5 Jul 2016 20:42 funny.. about a month after I did my LED conversion, my R1 r/r smoked (had to borrow/rig one from KKen at TMAC at the time).. not sure if it was a coincidence or not.. got a Shindengen mosfet in there now, which seems…
  31. Bent rod? 30 Jun 2016 20:17 it's the R/R. LOL.
  32. Gen 4 LED H4 headlights with high beam modulate? 30 Jun 2016 16:00 [image: IMG_20140403_210454_400.jpg] left one is with the fan.. the rubber never really fit over bulb correctly, and I doubt the fan does much good as a result. [image: Camera$IMG_20140403_205213_807.jpg] I stripped the…
  33. Gen 4 LED H4 headlights with high beam modulate? 29 Jun 2016 20:58 don't remember which ones they were exactly, aside from the LED's themselves were advertised as Cree. to make them fit, I un-soldered the mount tangs off my old bulbs, and then fitted them to the LED housing, because I…
  34. Gen 4 LED H4 headlights with high beam modulate? 28 Jun 2016 17:03 I've got LED retrofitted H4's in my 4th gen. Honestly, I'll probably change them back; despite them seeming brighter, the pattern isn't nearly as nice.
  35. What tire size do you 8-spokers use? 24 Jun 2016 15:33 180. that's originally why I went to the 8-spoker .. whole lot easier to get 180's than it was to get the 170's..
  36. wow... RIP Michael Czysz 9 May 2016 17:25 Apparently Michael Czysz passed away from cancer over the weekend..
  37. Congratulations to Corner Carver 9 May 2016 12:50 props to you Keith!
  38. 83 V45 Interceptor Overheating 19 Apr 2016 14:35 I used to get all sorts of corrosion/crap in the t-stat plug on the bottom rad, where the thermal switch for the fans is.. usually people just end up by-passing that and adding a hard switch in there so they can control…
  39. Replacement Fairings For 94-97 Vfr750? 29 Jan 2016 19:02 FWIW Airtech makes fiberglass replacements... never used them, myself, but they could be one of those "better than nothing" deals.
  40. How Can I Fix This, Broken Seat Cowl Tabs. 19 Jan 2016 14:24 plastifix..
  41. 12Oclocklabs Speedodrd 4 Jan 2016 15:22 yea, got one last year... once I got the hang of the doing the calculations, it was a snap... don't know why I didn't add one years ago.
  42. First Time Buying Rubber Shoes......no Idea Where To Start 9 Dec 2015 15:46 tires are almost as bad of topic as oil. Everyone has their preference. what kind of riding do you do, what's your budget, etc... you have a 4th gen it looks like, so make sure the tires you're looking at have that…
  43. Nicky Finally Going To Wsbk 8 Oct 2015 17:00 announcement .... going to the Ten Kate team next year...
  44. Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder 18 Aug 2015 13:37 Switchblade There like big bears, they are preparing for winter by riding 18 hours by a day ! I didn't think GA had a 'winter' to speak of???
  45. New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well 29 Jun 2015 12:43 my local dealer has 2 on floor.. nice looking, but pricey for a re-dressed vtec
  46. 4Th Gen Tires 23 Jun 2015 15:37 No idea what you can find, but like auggius said, if you can find the PR2's, get them... good tire.
  47. My Voltmeter Prototype On My '97 15 Jun 2015 13:00 I've done EXACTLY the same setup... I went to hobby shop and picked up a connector for wires, to facilitate any future dash removals, and then picked up power off one of the ignition switch connector, so that it would…
  48. Just Bought 3 Interceptors - "two Outta Three Ain't Bad" 10 Jun 2015 15:47 just realized you're in York. just up the road from you.
  49. Just Bought 3 Interceptors - "two Outta Three Ain't Bad" 9 Jun 2015 18:32 if I recall, a few of the parts are different between the '86 and the '84 ... something to consider while making the decision on which bike to keep....
  50. Official Made It Home Safe Thread! 1 Jun 2015 15:10 Got home little bit after midnight... Aside from having to swim the last 20 min, it was uneventful.. Great time at the event as always!
