All 39- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? I got a new Quadlock mount for the phone, and a RAM mount for the top triple stem hole. That pairs up with the Sena SMH10-10 that I just got for the helmet, along with the special baseplate that will allow me to use my…
- VARIABLE9’s V4 VFR VICTORY Grum, 8/25/2018 at 1:18 AM Hey Variable. Does this help, check out the location of Item 2. Straight from the 6gen owners booklet. As mentioned I just found it easier to place it where I showed you with the Yellow…
- VARIABLE9’s V4 VFR VICTORY 13 hours ago, VARIABLE9 That’s right in line with my Q&A, thanks everyone ( @Grum j. I didn’t want to purchase another if Honda hid it somewhere ‘special’. And especially now that I have it, stuffing the tool kit into…
- VARIABLE9’s V4 VFR VICTORY VARIABLE9, 8/4/2018 at 9:56 AM @Grum can you advise where is this part stored on the bike? Is it usually in the tool kit? Or is there a dedicated location to 'clip' it in elsewhere? There's a dedicated little spot…
- Why Is Coolant Coming Out Of This Hole? Dammit. I may have the same / similar issue. After my long trip last May, the VFR has mostly been sitting in the garage. I ran her up to temp about a month ago, and after shutting her off, noticed about a quarter size…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Well . . .I have good news and bad news. The good news is that everything that I did made the bike run PERFECTLY for the duration of my trip. Put about 1300 miles on her over 5 days. Saw some beautiful scenery and spent…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Rob - you got it. That appears to have been the issue. I DEFINITELY had an injector that was leaking. However, I also replaced the Fuel Pressure Regulator as part of this process. I don't *think* that it was the point…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . BR -- road testing went well. I believe that there must have been some remaining fuel in the exhaust system, because she produced some smoke for about 10 miles or so before getting fully warmed up / burning off all the…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . She LIVES!!! Re-installed the three serviced and one new injector. Drained out over 10 quarts of mostly gasoline - oil, replaced with new along with a new filter. Started, ran for 5 minutes, turned off, drained and…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . New injector finally shipped from Partzilla. Should have it by Friday. Will see if I can get all this back together sometime over the weekend and update you all again. . . .keep your fingers crossed!!
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Well, Ron Ayers let me know yesterday that the injector was back ordered through them until at least April 20th. I cancelled that order and placed a new one with Partzilla. It's supposed to ship on Monday. . . .we'll…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . I think that I've also determined that the trouble with starting was that the cylinder(s) were actually full or nearly full of gasoline, and it was as if the motor was vapor locked. The starter couldn't compress the…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . CandyRedRC46: Already ordered a new injector from Ron Ayers last night. Figure best to start off with one that's known to be good. Even if the new one flows a bit more or less than the other three, shouldn't be that…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Hey guys -- was out of town for Easter weekend. Got an interesting update though. Sent off the injectors to Precision Auto Injectors in FL. They did a great job -- I mailed the injectors to them last Tuesday and they…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Hey BLS -- I've decided to just bite the bullet. Thanks to CandyRedRC46 up there, I have removed all of the injectors and will be sending them out for servicing to the place he recommended this week. No need to keep…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . I've had the wiring harness recall done. Even so, I checked all the connectors, including the infamous blue connector. All my grounds look good, as far as I can tell. Well, I don't have a pressure gauge, so I'll just…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . That's a thought Knight. Anyone think that all the fuel in my oil could have interfered with the neutral switch? I'm getting continuity in the wiring all the way from the neutral switch connector to the associated pin…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . All injectors pass OHM test, and are within range. All positive legs of connectors have similar voltage with key in the 'on' position. Pulled the vacuum hose on the FPR, and there's no fuel in there. However, I am…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . I haven't tested the injectors yet. Was hoping for a simple electrical fix. Guess it's back out to OHM out the injectors and to test voltage on the wiring. If all the injectors OHM out, seems like bench testing them is…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . UPDATE: so finally got around to starting to go through the electrical system. Checked every connector that I could find / reach. Disconnected, cleaned, and reconnected all ground points to the frame. Didn't find…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Ok. . . .so how do I diagnose a shorted PCM, and how to I rectify it?? And do I still need to pull the injector and test it?? Probably a good idea, I suppose . . .
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Tell me about it. Connections have been checked, and will be re-checked. I am also going to put direct battery voltage to the starter motor to check operation. If it DOES work, then I may have an issue with a switch or…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Ugh. No joy. After all the work indicated above, the bike had severe trouble starting. The starter relay is working (clicking) and is brand new anyway. I noticed that now the neutral light doesn't come on either, even…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Well,test running was with all new spark plugs. . . .I didn't have a chance to test all four of the coils, just the front two cylinders, and they were both good. Now that the battery is toast, I'll have to wait until…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Ok. Got some troubleshooting done today. I got the bike running again, and after shutting it off and preparing to start pulling the coils to test for spark, I inadvertently came close to touching one of the header…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Update: Need some help here guys. So, replaced all 4 spark plugs, air filter, engine oil, and topped off the coolant. Here's what happened: I start up the bike, and after a bit of cranking, she roughly starts . . . good…
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen Believe it or not, sadly, I DO have the original parts from the first set of GSXR mirrors I pulled apart!! I looked at them this morning. The spring washers are black; they look like a regular flat washer at first, but…
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen Take apart the OEM GSXR mirrors. You will find the spring washers that I am talking about. The detents aren't the spring washers. They just provide the engagement for the mount and the arm (obviously). I must not be…
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen Ok guys. . . here are the photos that should help. First image: snapped off stock GSXR mirror stalk at the base. . . .note the flat head Phillips bolt. If you google 'flat head phillips' you will see that this type of…
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen I'll have to be more specific. . . .I'll try to get some photos tonight. Yes, mine were just like that, and yes, mine had the phillips countersunk screw / bolt. That was the problem. Pictures will speak 1,000 words. . .…
- My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter Seb - simply beautiful. Marvelous machine work, glass and carbon fiber work. You've managed to merge all of the stock bits along with your custom fabricated parts into a GORGEOUS machine. I tip my hat to you, Sir. :)
- Gsxr Mirrors On 6th Gen Greg -- not sure if this will be helpful or not, but I have a set of the original production run of the GSXR mirror adapter mounts installed on my '02. One of the problems that I've had with them over the years was the…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Thanks BLS -- I was going to pull the spark plugs and check / replace them anyway, so I'll be sure to have a look while I'm at it. Will probably start digging into this little project on Sunday. By the way -- it's been…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . I suppose it could be the fuel, but I'd be surprised. It really feels and sounds like it's only running on 3 cylinders . . . .I'll continue to run some fuel through it. I filled it up with fresh fuel this afternoon…
- '02 Running Rough At Idle, Smoke, And No Power In Low End. . . Hi guys -- been away from the forums for while, but I'm having a pretty significant issue with the VFR, and need to reach out to see if anyone has had similar issues and what suggestions are out there for trouble…
- Ohhh The Farkles... Whitelightning99, You might consider putting LED's in the top case instead of the Hyperlites. I did this with mine and have been really pleased with the integrated look and performance. It was a bit of work, but well…
- The First Offical Pic Didn't you guys read the fine print!?!? There's an optional side case fuel cell kit!!! It adds 35L of fuel capacity!!!!! No need to worry about range now!!! Just kidding. I actually kinda like the looks of it too, other…
- Knee Down - Pffffffffffffft! wow. reminds me of a video I saw on youtube of a guy catching a lowside with his knee and elbow on a superbike. nice stuff!!
- Another Distracted Driver Ouch!! Congrats on being as lucky as you were. Rest up and heal quickly!!
