Last 50 of 67- K&N Oil Filter Failure Why even bother justifying their existence. Plenty of other good filters to choose from. I used ONE years ago, without a problem, but after reading horror stories, I quickly switched. I have used their air filters for…
- K&N Oil Filter Failure Also rubber seal is not the correct diameter and does not mate up properly to VFR's. Too many other reputable filters to chance a catastrophe.
- 1983 Vf750F Resurrection I did my 83 last summer, paint & powder coat, replaced just about all the rubber parts & seals (Ozone & age makes them brittle), OEM part are all available on Partzilla. Any aluminum parts that are really bad should be…
- Engine Braking Saved my ass on going through the twisties when a fawn jump out in front, instinctively killed the throttle before I had time to brake. It came out the other side unscathed. Guess it is a function FI bikes, my 83…
- Proper Center Stand Technique? At 71 I am not as strong as i used to be, but agree with using the passenger pillion bracket. I start by standing on center stand arm then tip bike gently till I feel the other right side foot of the stand firm on the…
- Wisconsin Riders? Great story about that flight back to Kennedy Space Center: http://infinite-frontier.blogspot.com/2009/06/nasa-747-pilot-shares-experience.html Click on NASA link at bottom of article for more great pictures and info.
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression Squirt a little oil into each cylinder and re-check.
- 750F Slow Return To Idle Looking at your video, one cylinder drops very quickly while the other 3 drop slowly as you back off the throttle. Check for leaks again, check that the carbs are seated correctly and that all the bands on the boots are…
- What Does Traction Control "feel" Like? Mine kicked in when I hit a tar snake at about 40 mph just after a corner, not as drastic as others have mentioned as I was not accelerating as hard they were. I think it will more noticeable under higher power.
- New Guy....1984 Vf750F Welcome, get us some pictures when you get her. I have had mine since 83.
- Today's Cage Driver Vs. 6 Years Ago. Watch Out! Ah, Red Green!
- Quick Shifter Experiences Only occasionally forgetting to take pressure off shifter, senior moment when engine stutters.
- My Old Girl Is Getting A Makeover. (83 Vf750F) Had a problem with my 83, turned out to be bad trigger connection to coil for front two cylinders. Clean and burnish your connectors and spade lugs. A little corrosion causes all kinds of problems. You did a spectacular…
- Motus V4 Took a 40 mile ride this afternoon to Motus (Ducati, Aprillia, etc) dealer in Livermore, CA., to look at one. Got to say for a first generation the design and craftsmanship looked very good. I am sure when compared to…
- Aurora Hellfire V8 417Bhp, 235Ftlb - 211Mph Awesome sound!
- Vfr Gen 6 To Gen 8 Traded in my 03 6th gen on 12/13/14 and haven't regretted it for a second for all of the above reasons, do it.
- Motus V4 I noticed first group of pictures didn't have the appendage on the left side of the engine (stock) and the latter have what appears to be a turbo! How much power did that add?
- The Official Oil Thread The VF750 manual says 10W-40 and the VFR800 Deluxe says 10-30W, so I bought 2 gallons of Amsoil 10-40 pure synthetic so I could use the same in both. Not going to worry about losing a little power to oil drag.
- Choosing A Proper Solvent For degreasing bike parts and other things, I have using Simple Green for 35 years without any problems. Don't know why they have to use such a strong scent! For around the house, getting rid of rubber cement, labels…
- Waterless Coolant Wind chill has absolutely no effect on machines!
- Traction Control Only had it kick in once, when I crossed a tar snake on a hot day, hardly noticed it except for momentary yellow warning light.
- Clutch Binding On '83 750F Partzilla has the piston seals and the master cylinder kit, rebuild is easy. Clean and flush. I have done mine, and it still clunks going into first, but not a problem. I have replaced all rubber seals, o-rings and…
- My Sebspeed Custom Clear Clutch Cover Experience While you have the fairings off, check you stator connector (three yellow wires) for any discoloration due to heat. Clean and burnish contacts.
- Article Scansmotor Cyclist September 2015 Circa 1983 The Story Of Honda's Amazing V45 Interceptor.pdfa New Vfr Article For Download Still got mine, just got it back on the road after too many years. Color scheme changed to match new tank. https://www.dropbox....G_1190.jpg?dl=0 Finished now, running great.
- K&n Oil Filter From what I have read, it is the rubber o-ring that is the wrong size and doesn't properly mate up with flat surface under pressure.
- Finished The Vfkr (Kind Of) Update: My problem turned out to be poor connections of the the coils, terminals were black after all the years of sitting. Apparently I was adjusting the idle while running with weak spark on two rear cylinders, then…
- Interesting Sound During Deceleration? My '14 whines in first as you slow down, I say it's normal, try not to spend much time in first.
- Finished The Vfkr (Kind Of) I hope that it is the problem, I ordered a CarbTune Pro. the next question is, once balanced, how often do they need to be re-balanced?
- Quickshifter Bought mine slightly used with quick shifter, absolutely love it, if i can remember to keep my foot off it when not using it!
- Length Of Vf750F Fork Tubes? Just rebuilt my VF750 forks, and there is a difference in the tubes, due to the difference in the pistons at the bottom, and the TRAC Anti-Dive. When I had tubes out, didn't notice any difference in length. the tube for…
- New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well I traded my 2003 6th gen in on the 2014 deluxe, 11 years makes a big difference, similar, but not the same. No need to get a PCIII to iron out FI. Fit and finish much better. I enjoyed the 03 so much, I wanted a new…
- Identify This Crap! Mice have been hoarding food, we had mice that would take the cat's dry food and store behind drawers in the pantry next to it! Talk about balls.
- 2004 Vfr800 Charging System Questions Your voltage readings look good. If your 30A fuse is getting hot, then it is passing a lot of current due to a heavy load. I don't have any experience with lithium motorcycle batteries, so I would go with Switchblades…
- Picture Thread Bay Area twisties
- New Member/ New Owner Of 1986 Vfr700F I have the same Kerker slip-ons on my '83, I had the cans polished and I repacked them with furnace insulation (denser than fiberglass). Just about ready to get her back on the road, so I haven't heard them in awhile.…
- New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well Seen several around my area in both red & white. Sure do get a lot of good comments and looks when parked.
- Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder Water may be collecting in one location, then getting sucked in on first crank. Check after rain but before cranking.
- Dilemma... Which Model To Buy... I got the Knight Design lowered pegs and Moto-Pumps bar risers which solved the riding position for me. (6' and 70 years old).
- Best Looking Vfr___F I liked my 03 VTEC for looks, why was the 25th anniversary edition left off the list? For now it is my 8th gen, because I live with it every day.
- Toying With The Name, Interceptor Bought my 83 Interceptor in Canada, always referred to it as an Interceptor. Don't really care where name came from. No one called it a VF750F then. Now I refer to my 8th gen '14 as an VFR800, like everyone else.
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Got mine yesterday and promptly installed. Frame on order to finish job off. Job well done by NZCam, easy to install. [image: post-29047-0-13908300-1432936340.jpg]
- Power Commander V No remapping required for K&N
- Cluchless Shifting Bikes My new DLX came with quick shifter, love it, only problem I have is me, sometimes slow to let pressure off and it bogs.
- Front Braking Unevenness And Judder Why are all these pitting problems showing up in the UK? The UK bikes must have had an earlier batch of bad calipers. Checked mine after 5K miles when I changed tire, no problems.
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Not a problem for me, make sure people use a punch first to keep drill from wandering.
- Lowered Pegs, Now How Do You Adjust The Rear Brake Pedal? There are actually two adjustments you have to make, one on the master cylinder (as described) and on the brake light switch after you do the master cylinder. You will have experiment to see when it goes off and on…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Let us know when we can order & pay, always glad to support someone with initiative! Well done.
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Same question as DriverDave, I assume that will be to support the larger number plates of other countries. Would it be possible to make two versions, one without for North American market and one with for the world…
- Dam......i Want That! From DAM: "When you pay with PayPal there will be 3,9% transaction costs for PayPal! The price for the CE-approved exhaust: Outside Europe NO VAT(Exclu VAT) -polished version: 401,65 euro excl VAT -matt/polished…
- Eighth Gen Modathon (Round Two) If resistors were receiving voltage constantly, then heat might be a problem, but for the short time they are on, they shouldn't get hot. E squared/resistance=power, 12x12/6=24 watts, what rating did you use for…
