All 43- Harsh Ride - 2002 Vtec Have you ensured that the forks are aligned correctly? If they're misaligned, the whole bike will feel like crap because of the extra force needed to compress the forks (along with some directional stability issues).…
- Delkevic 9" Of the 9"? I have a 13" tri-oval on my '99 5th gen. It's very nice with the baffle in. It's drool-worthy with it out! :)
- Delkevic 9" You'll need to put in the youtube web address.
- Delkevic 9" Can you post a video of the sound?
- Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec Ok, now how about the same for the 5th gen? ;)
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Akra is the factory optional upgrade, so it's available - at least in Oz.
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 So that means the Micron high mount that I have on my 5th gen would fit. Nice! Don't get too excited. High mount support brackets might not fit the 8G.
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 I would buy any can for the 5th gen and have a mid pipe bent at an exhaust shop. No need to wait! No need. The mid pipe from the 5G will work. Now to convince Dogman to get a 13" tri-oval from Delkevic. ;) Edit: I spoke…
- Best way to strap my bike She looks woman enough to be my man... It isn't gay if you're giving it, right? :goofy:
- I Love My Delkevic. :) Here's a video of mine I put on Youtube a while ago. However, I think it might be distorting the microphone - the sound quality isn't the best... http://m.youtube.com...h?v=8WaEITbCiZI
- I Love My Delkevic. :) Nice! The 6th gen sounds nearly as good as my 5th gen with the shorty tri-oval Delkevic. ;) In all seriousness, I wish you 6th gen guys could get Delki to make a dual tri-oval set-up (especially if it sends the exhaust…
- Trackbike Build - From Scratch MVinOZ Dannytb Looking at the carbon heat shield... Shouldn't it be between the rear master cylinder and the exhaust? Or is it just to protect the master cylinder from your boot? PS: a quick thread-jack... I added this…

- Trackbike Build - From Scratch Nice work Mick! I'll have to drop by and have a perve at your bike's sexy arse one day! ;) Also good to see you're taking safety seriously by wearing your safety thongs (flip flops for the non-Aussies - I'm not talking…
- Trackbike Build - From Scratch I have one of those multi-large allen bolt doovers if you want to borrow it.
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. CandyRedRC46 Yes I have the regulator/rectifier model number FH020AA, which is OEM on the new Yamaha motorcycles like the New R1. I have had it on the bike for a while now, it holds voltage rock solid and stays cool,…
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. CandyRedRC46 Yeah I already have an R1 fork/wheel/brakes, so I might as well keep it up lol Do you have an RR from an R1?
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. Thanks for the info Mike and Keef. Sounds like it could be an interesting hobby. If only I could convince the Mrs that it was a worthwhile thing for me to spend time on...
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. Mike, do you make much profit from the cafe racers? Or is it mainly a hobby that pays its own way?
- Forums I haven't been to Australia since the early 80's (before Al Gore invented the internet) so I will take your word regarding the generational designation being used extensively in�other English speaking countries…
- Forums There is no "they" who designate the gen of a VFR...it is only in the US that such nomenclature exists � The "new" is not available in the US where "generation" names solely exist. Please don't take this the wrong way,…
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. My bike lost about 90kg the other day... However, it isn't much good losing that amount of weight off the bike when the components removed were the rider and his gear... Mid-corner... :goofy:
- My 5Th Gen Welcome Peter! :)
- Trackbike Build - From Scratch keef Dannytb keef I just saw this thread. If it's track only, and losing weight is important, i've done a couple things to my 5th gen that might help - if the the frame and swingarm are the same between 5th and 6th.…

- Trackbike Build - From Scratch When I changed the rear brake disc on my previous bike, I wound off the nut, put a block of wood over the end of the axle, gave it a few good hits with a hammer, and it all popped out. Maybe I was just lucky...
- How The Hell Do You Remove The Fork Bottom Allen Bolt? Auspañol So you basically need to PULL on the spring with the top end retained or connected to the damping rod via the retainer washer acting as a stopper? You need to pull the damping rod into the fully extended…
- How The Hell Do You Remove The Fork Bottom Allen Bolt? Some additional info about the spinning bolt situation that I had: Before I pulled the forks apart, I noticed that the RH leg (the spinning one) had the bolt countersunk more than the other one. Now that I come to…
- How The Hell Do You Remove The Fork Bottom Allen Bolt? JamieDaugherty Auspañol In short.. air impact wrench/gun... has always worked for me... and I used to do it the hard way inventing all sorts of gizmos to keep the thing from turning from the top... but the air impact…
- Are Vfr's Chick Magnets? DucatiTerminator Shooter [image: Posted Image] Are VFR's chick magnets? You tell me. BTW, yes that is my '01. We did something similar not that long ago, except it wasn't a VFR. And the girl was wearing a lot less, lol.…
- How The Hell Do You Remove The Fork Bottom Allen Bolt? IIRC, electric impact guns have been said to be insufficient for removing the bottom bolt. Just wondering if that's meant to be battery impact wrenches, impact drivers (the ones that are really only screwdrivers), or do…
- Vtec rear shock stuffed or just normal quick question Normal or stuffed? Well, I think it's normal for the stock suspension to be stuffed, so I'm going to say it's both normal and stuffed! If you get the suspension rebuilt with springs and damping to suit your weight,…
- How The Hell Do You Remove The Fork Bottom Allen Bolt? Beck I'm wondering if one can instead, add something like a "star washer" where the cartridge contacts the bottom of the fork tube and the allen bolt goes through..... Would that grip the cartridge tube end enough to…
- Are Vfr's Chick Magnets? AnikMankar i thought all motorcycles were :) What about rat bikes?
- Are Vfr's Chick Magnets? One Friday night I was standing beside my Viffer, talking to a mate, and three drunk chicks came up and started chatting us up (talking about the bike was their ice-breaker). So... Yes, the VFR is a chick magnet.
- 5Th Gen Exhaust Advice Sorry for the mobile links. Hopefully they will work on non-mobiles... Delkevic 13" tri-oval with the baffle: http://m.youtube.com...h?v=IsMLhSNtF-c Without the baffle: http://m.youtube.com...h?v=8WaEITbCiZI
- 5Th Gen Exhaust Advice I have a Delkevic low mount 13" tri-oval on my '99. I think it sounds better than the Staintune I had on my '98. I've put video clips of the sound with and without the baffle onto Youtube, in case anyone's interested in…
- RVF800RR Build How many PSI boost is Arrow using? Must be quite a bit.
- RVF800RR Build You could always use the supercharger and a custom cam together... ;-)
- Trackbike Build - From Scratch mk2davis I know it's not the most expensive thing, and that you'll need to do it right eventually, but it seems like you could skip the oil cooler by just running a flex tube from the in and out. I wouldn't do that.…
- Trackbike Build - From Scratch Nice to see the progress so far, Mick. Let me know if you need a hand with anything, and I'll see what I can do to go and help. :-)
- RVF800RR Build Just a thought... Have you considered getting a custom cam grind and opening up the intake ports to relieve the engine of its asthma? I believe someone on this forum has given his bike a new cam profile and it has…
- How The Hell Do You Remove The Fork Bottom Allen Bolt? All very interesting stuff gents. I'm thinking about getting Jamie D to send me one of his modified CBR929 shocks and valves/springs for the forks. This is exactly what I need to know for a problem I could face with the…
