All 44- Akrapovic - Baffle In or Baffle Out? So do you have to drill to get it out, or can you just remove the screw and pull it out?
- Akrapovic - Baffle In or Baffle Out? My last VFR was a 2003 with Two Brothers Carbon exhaust......pretty loud but nice tone. On the 2015 VFR800F I put the Akrapovic on. It sounds better than stock but still a bit tame. Do you think its better with the…
- How do you have your pillion configured? 1 hour ago, VFR4Me Just the seat... don't use the cover or handles So you just have voids/holes where the grab handles would normally attach?
- Of Elephants and Chicken Strips and matters VFR No joke about Deals Gap. There is a Youtube video of a dude riding solo, that collided with another dude who was solo. One of them went over the cliff, died, no trace. The other went over cliff, broke a ton of bones and…
- How do you have your pillion configured? A quick poll to see how most of you have your pillion setup. I would think Seat and Grab Handles or Cowl and Covers is very common........but I could see people that run the Cowl with Grab Handles just so they can…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Shinigami, 2/16/2020 at 4:28 PM Got a bunch of things done all at once: New DID chain and Sunstar sprockets despite everything still being in spec, with the OEM chain and sprockets still looking good at 40,150 miles (!)…
- Am I Doing The Sport Touring Thing Right? 10 hours of riding in a day is probably too much for my own tastes. What sort of setup do you have on the bike to help with comfort? Risers? throttlemeister?
- Vfrd Fall Meet (Oct. 10-14) Boone, Nc @ Greene's Motel. 1-800-CITATION they always get me out of any ticket, about $99 I think
- Minty 2008 In South Florida........~500Mi! I don't see these come up that much, a bit pricy I guess, but looks like a minty 800A: http://miami.craigsl...4701675553.html
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots curious as to how you "calibrate" the new wax unit. If it were simple enough you think they would mention how to do it in the service manual. I always wondered about how I would do it if I ever replaced the wax unit.
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Terry No I think you have this backwards, sorry. As I said I don't have a wax unit but I did look at Kaldek's 6th gen wax unit video. That showed the wax unit shaft extending out (so lengthening) as the unit heated up,…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots if your injectors are hosed after cleaning, its not necessarily the injector guys fault. I think Kaldek explains things well in his video and posts. Used injectors are pretty cheap, but I would definitely have any used…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Here you go: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/59801-testing-for-leaking-fuel-injectors/ Also Kaldek has at least 5 videos that have to do with VFR injectors here:…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots if memory serves me right, you are not the first with this issue. Search up something along the lines of injectors leaking after cleaning. I believe Kaldek had this issue. I think he sent his injectors in for cleaning,…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots did you replace all seals AND the cushions? typically the cleaning places don't give you every seal you need, just 2 of them i believe.........if you pull the injectors on an older bike you should replace the seals and…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots you can replace the seals/cushions thats about it. You really don't disassemble them. You replace them or have them professionally cleaned. Thats it. They are pretty easy to remove. Don't live with dripping fuel, could…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots AnikMankar, I thought that even on bikes that did not have the EVAP canister, the vent tube still runs down the right side of the bike, across the front, and then into the tube stay on the left side of the bike. I have…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots i have heard about people getting hydro lock near the wax unit, basically an air bubble in the system that can be difficult to remove, i wonder if that could be the case
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots is the starter rod or whatever its called, that thin metal rod that connects to the wax unit, bent? Its easy to bend those things screwing with the vacuum hoses and all that. Also if memory serves me right the wax unit…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots just curious, what makes you think the boots were leaking (symptoms)? I am guessing your saying its running much better now, I wonder if that had to do with the starter valve sync more than boot replacement. Did the…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Just seems so weird you would have an issue with the temp sensor after just being in there. Do you think maybe you knocked something loose, stretched/cut a wire or something like that? Sucks you may have to take the TB…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots Temp gauge at 270 sounds a bit insane.........maybe thats a bad reading/sensor? Where does that number come from the ECT?
- Brakes - Warped Rotor Fix also for mild pulsating you can clean your bobbins and that will allow the rotor to float better. Lots of determination in this thread, one day I'll have to buy a dial indicator looks very useful
- Aftermarket fairing kits I just picked up a set of OEM lowers for about $640 for my 2003...........I definitely don't want the aggravation from the non-OEM
- Sixth Gen Tour Package Duc2V4 IRT Bluetooth transmitter I bought one from monoprice.com and it works with my Cardo G9x system. I use it with my Radar detector. I pair that along with my phone, the RD uses the aux and the phone uses the phone…
- Sixth Gen Tour Package carlgustav signal Carlgustav, with the V1 do you use any special audio/visual remotes to allow you to see/hear whats going on with it, or can you hear it just fine with the volume turned all the way up? I have the…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots JeffInFranklinTN Wow!! That's a very reasonable price. Did you remove the injectors yourself or give them the throttle body with injectors still attached? Samsung Droid Charge I pulled them myself. Once you remove the…
- Sixth Gen Tour Package The Givi V35 Side Bags with V46 Top Case are perfect for our bike. I recommend the PLXR panniers as they have quick release. All of this is waterproof and secure. Every now and then you will see Twisted Throttle or…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots I had mine cleaned/tested by a place right hear me, it was $20 per injector. If you just want flow testing its $12.50 per injector (the cleaning however includes flow testing, an new seals, etc):…
- Sixth Gen Tour Package Carlgustav, with the V1 do you use any special audio/visual remotes to allow you to see/hear whats going on with it, or can you hear it just fine with the volume turned all the way up?
- Sixth Gen Tour Package Sounds like some good touring improvements. I would just say, your bike would look SOOOOO good with the Givi panniers and side bags vs. the Nelson Rigg.......just saying :) Also, if you don't have one already I highly…
- Throttle Body Isolator Boots how difficult was it to replace the boots? I know on the 6th gen I have seen some posts about it being a real pita to get the TB off the boots. I bought new boots and new clamps for my 6th gen. I just don't want to take…
- Ok, I'm Stoopid... Chain Adjustment? Dutchy Look at the T-shirt for the correct free play. YES guys there IS a T-shirt in this picture!!!! [image: 73d67947.jpg] :tongue2: there may be "play" in that pic, but I guarantee its not "free".
- Denali Powerhub 2 Fuse Block Installation I can promise you, RR failures have nothing to do with additional circuits. The charging system of the VFR is not ideal. They used cheap shortcuts to do many parts of the wiring. On my bike I have (will have) 2…
- Vfrd Fall Meet (Oct. 10-14) Boone, Nc @ Greene's Motel. I will try to make this, party of 2 (wife on her fz6r).
- Denali Powerhub 2 Fuse Block Installation I think running the battery tender through the Powerhub2 would be a good use of it. Just make it a constant circuit, and you can even attach it to a powerlet outlet, and then just use a powerlet to SAE (battery tender)…
- Shinko Verge Experiment DaveM, how much mileage do you typically get out of a set of tires? How much mileage do you do a year? Just curious. I have the Shinko Ravens, they came with my bike (used). Not sure how I feel about them. I plan to…
- Techspec Tank Grips On 02+ Vfr800 I am not overly concerned with it. Just wanted to make sure I didn't get the wrong part or that TechSpec was aware. No reason there cutter couldn't match the exact angle of the VFR800 02+, and it would keep the same…
- Techspec Tank Grips On 02+ Vfr800 GadiantonRob They only state they work on the 5th gen, but they looked very good on my 4th gen as well. Now they are on my 6th and yes, it's not perfect, but still looks operator. Who states that? The Tech Spec website…
- Techspec Tank Grips On 02+ Vfr800 I recently bought a set of TechSpec tank grips for my 2003 VFR800. I am concerned that the lines of the grips don't match with the lines of the tank. The top and bottom lines of the grip are parallel, just as the top…
- Givi Luggage Pics 05 Vfr Just bought a 2009 with the V35 monokey side bags installed. I need to remove the side frame to do a rear shock change but I think a special tool is required, no? The previous owner had the dealer install the bags 3…
- Throttle Position Sensor - Vfr Running Very Rich No responses to this yet? I would say your voltages look like the TPS is adjusted fine, but it could still be bad. poor fuel economy is a symptom of a bad tps
- FAULTY GROUND CONNECTOR I opened up my big yellow ground block. I was surprised. The thing was immaculate. No brown, no crud, just perfect looking wires. There were only 8 wires I believe in this block, I have the latest wiring harness (the…
- Make Your Own O2 Sensor Eliminators Darth Bling tjvfr800 I have tried this and this really works, the bike feels and sounds a lot smoother but a flatspot betwen 4k-5k rmp , but why !!! Any one got a clue why it's possible to do this with the ECU. Is there…
