- Powercomander Question Hi there, Im running a highrise staintune pipe, k&n air filter with a PC3 on my 2001 bike. I had a custom map made with the bike having spent a couple of hours on the dyno to perfect it and it has perfect fuelling from…
- Help, Stripped Head Of Damper Rod Bolt Taking Forks Apart Another way that generally works is if you have a torx bit set then find a size bit that is just bigger than the now rounded bolt head and hit it into the top of the bolt and it will make its own grooves as you hit it…
- Does Anyone Have Experience With This Chain Tool? I bought the one mentioned off ebay a while ago and it lasted one chain unfortunately with one of the pins braking very easily.

- How To Wheelie Vfr 800 they wheelie off the throttle easy in first gear. my 5th gen with stock gearing will come up in first off throttle alone to near balance point if you sit up as straight as possible and just whack open the throttle at…
- It's Time For New Tires! vfr350 Mikesmini080877 I'm running continental road attack 2 GT tyres on the front and back on my 5th gen and really like them. They warm up really quickly and are super grippy and give me plenty of confidence in the…

- 5Th Gen Bolt On Tail Swap? notice the brake caliper change on the above bike and the huge adapter bracket needed on the left fork leg to make it all work. I thought of something like this instead of the vtr1000 fork bottoms and now I know why I…
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. Keef: rb racing actually build decent sr's even though they're not my kind of bike. Harley sticks twin disc front ends on them from Yamaha fzr250's and some other good stuff. If I was a hipster wanting to buy an sr then…

- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. The blue bike with the Norton style honda writing I built is a 1972 cb350/4 mello dude. I used a new 400/4 tank and side covers as i liked the shape better. I wouldn't mind building a 750/4 one day but they are soo…

- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. I have a cbr600rr 2004 front brake master Cylinder. Its 5/8 bore size should work fine and it matches the clutch master Cylinder in being an integrated type, no piss cup. I saw in another post that someone else used the…
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. my thing with wanting to delink them is due to how I ride and I want control over where the brake fluid gets pumped. im sure these figures are correct but I don't find them powerful. The brakes require a firm pull to…
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. I'm feeling confident. I'm a mechanic who has built numerous cafe racers in the last 5 yrs as well as quite a few old cars. Pulling things to pieces and working in the confined spaces of modern engine bays for years has…
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. Good job, fixing what honda should have done in the first place. I'm looking forward to my brake delink and upgrade.
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. That is officially the best rc45 I've ever seen. I think I wet my pants looking at the pics. If you can afford it then I say why not. Nothing exceeds like excess and I want it but would have to sell the house, wife and…
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. keef Mikesmini080877 Daniel Paul. Love the wheels. I have seriously thought about spending the money on a set of those wheels as you would have a very unique vfr800 with them. Googled them and they are bloody nice as…

- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. Vfrcapn. I only weigh 85kgs and am 5,10 so losing weight isn't an option. Just thought I would put it out there incase anyone has done stuff apart from the obvious in regards to making the bike lighter than it should…
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. Thanks mello dude. I might start weighing the stuff I take off from now as I'm probably half way there already without realising it. I received your fender adapter brackets just after I responded to your earlier post.…
- Different Ways To Lighten The Vfr800. I was wondering what if anyone has done to try to significantly reduce the weight of their 5th gen vfr800. I've seen on different posts that the subframe weighs approx 8kgs and looks simple in design so was thinking if…

- Vfr8 Streetfighter Hi keef, just joined this forum site and realised you must live somewhere near me possibly as I go to Harley at R&B racing since they are near me. I'm interested in what was needed to fit the ducati rear wheel to my…
