  1. 18/46 gearing, finally! 9 Jun 2018 15:48 Will be doing this at my next chain change. Thanks Canuck!
  2. Luggage Rack Options 13 Apr 2018 22:25 My givi rack broke on me with an empty case down a gravel road. No warranty. What a joke. Reinforced it and welded it up. Its cheap shit alloy.
  3. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 12 Apr 2018 23:45 14 hours ago, manoil yeah starter valve sync is on my list at moment, but doing a suspension sort out, New Ohlins rear shock is in and my F4i fork internals have arrived just waiting for the new 9.0N K Tech linear…
  4. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 12 Apr 2018 01:50 TPS was certainly the issue, as I bought bare throttle bodies. I tested the TPS I had according to the factory service manual, and the voltage was low. I also made sure to purchase one from a 98, in order to ditch the…
  5. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 11 Apr 2018 05:21 Got a set of used TB's, slammed em on, she's perfect. Airbox and pair mods worked well.
  6. RC49 1 Apr 2018 23:10 Hm, I want those side panniers.
  7. Honda Paint Codes 1 Apr 2018 07:27 Veefer800Canuck, 10/24/2014 at 10:07 AM Again, as far as I had checked last, Honda does not release their exact motorcycle paint formulations to aftermarket paint companies like DuPont, PPG, or others to match by…
  8. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 23 Jan 2018 03:18 Page 198 I believe has the formula for signal voltages and values for input voltages. With the formula for signal voltages and the value for input amperage (which I could measure), a guy could derive the desired…
  9. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 22 Jan 2018 23:19 I've got the factory manual section and figured things out a bit better, going to test tonight. What the manual does not note is proper resistance at idle, but with some math I can figure it out from the factory values…
  10. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 22 Jan 2018 00:33 Tested the harness and TPS. Got 330ohm resistance on the TPS when closed, when the throttle is opened it climbs steadily to 1350ohm. Got 5v power at the power wire, have no resistance at the ground wire, have 160Kohm at…
  11. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 20 Jan 2018 21:28 My synch tool has the adapters, my single gauge pod does not. Good point. I'll clear the codes and start over. Thank you! Dammit if I can rebuild an nv4500 and decide to swap the entire front end in my truck on a whim I…
  12. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 20 Jan 2018 17:38 How do I clear the faults? Tried the age old 'disconnect the battery and tough the cables together to drain the system power", but it didn't work.
  13. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 20 Jan 2018 05:23 So, update. Crazy high idle and crankcase breather issue fixed. Now I'm setting a TPS, MAP, and MAP vacuum tube code. Stumbles on throttle, and when it doea rev it doesn't come back down. Not really sure why I'm…
  14. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 20 Jan 2018 01:52 Second update: I'm an idiot. Haha. Going to see if this works, if it does, you can all have a great big laugh at me. ?
  15. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 20 Jan 2018 01:20 Update: Not the cables. Started it with the cables fully unhooked, and same issue. Got it to operating temp so the idle would smooth out if I held the butterflies closed, and hooked up a vacuum gauge to 2 of the…
  16. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 18 Jan 2018 16:45 I have a gauge. Although its a little disappointing, as the increments are not marked in inHg, its just an arbitrary scale. I may just snag 4 indivual vacuum gauge pods and hook them up.
  17. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 18 Jan 2018 03:55 I'll be back on it this weekend. First step is to start it without the cables hooked up and see if it runs properly. If it dies, the issue is in the cables.
  18. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 15 Jan 2018 13:06 I'll do that, although why it'd need messing with is beyond me. I never touched it beyond taking off the bracket and cables at the throttle bodies.
  19. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 15 Jan 2018 04:57 I replaced all the lines, I'll check the routing. We're talking about a millimeter or two of slack required, so it could be routing. Although that is odd, as the bracket which holds the cables on screws into place…
  20. 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare 15 Jan 2018 04:17 G'day all. I am going to preface this with the fact that some details may be missed or omitted, as I'm not entirely a slouch with mechanics. I've rebuilt transmissions and transfer cases, swapped fuel and induction…
  21. Titanium Sprocket Group Buy? 12 Feb 2015 16:56 So a while back a young man posted on SBN that he was making titanium sprockets, and was wondering if any of us wanted one. Apparently the life on the things is wicked. But they're expensive, at nearly 300 bucks for a…
  22. 6Th Gen Subframe On A 5Th Gen Frame? 16 Jul 2014 15:18 Thank you! And yes, I expect the wiring, and the brakes, to be the worst part, since it does indeed seem that by page 2, he had the exhaust mounted already, and page 3 he has the subframe mocked up. Budget for parts is…
  23. 6Th Gen Subframe On A 5Th Gen Frame? 16 Jul 2014 02:56 Can it be done reasonably? should I be searching this forum for the topic that shows it's possible? I'm theorizing that a guy could modify the 6th gen subframe to work, put 6th gen bodywork/taillights on, and mount a…
  24. The Official Oil Thread 13 May 2014 06:12 I ride in some f***ing cold temps, so the thing gets 0w40 full synth rotella that meets JASO-MA specs for wet clutches. and by cold, I mean that The coldest day I've done was around -18C. :D
  25. 5Th Gen Valve Adjustment. . .valves Louder Afterward? 11 May 2014 16:42 Yes, the Intakes were spot on. regardless, I've done nearly 1,000km on them now with no issues that seem to be related to the valvetrain. That said, a new one has cropped up. So there'll be another new topic for…
  26. 5Th Gen Valve Adjustment. . .valves Louder Afterward? 5 May 2014 05:27 thtanner Now that this is settled, want to come do my valve job? :) I'd be happy to, if you don't mind flying me from central Canada, to your location, and flying me back!
  27. 5Th Gen Valve Adjustment. . .valves Louder Afterward? 3 May 2014 08:03 went through it all, rechecked all of the clearances. they're all good. Cleaned the bolts, brake cleaned the holes, buttoned it up properly, ran it for about a minute and then changed the oil (brake clean and oil don't…
  28. 5Th Gen Valve Adjustment. . .valves Louder Afterward? 1 May 2014 16:19 spud786 why did you have to retorque the cam caps, or just checked them before measuring? vfr350 Is the valve lash know for getting tighter or looser between adjustments on the vfr's? shim under bucket designs virtually…
  29. 5Th Gen Valve Adjustment. . .valves Louder Afterward? 1 May 2014 06:07 clearances are good. a .012" gauge has some friction, it basically pushes the oil film back along the feeler gauge as you push it into the gap. a .011" gauge is loose. a .013" gauge is tight and won't go in. I can push…
  30. 5Th Gen Valve Adjustment. . .valves Louder Afterward? 30 Apr 2014 23:14 Scrolled through the first 3 pages, nothing on this that i saw, if it's covered somewhere, shoot me a link or a search query for it, thanks! Right, so, last year I finally bought myself a VFR. I loves it. it's a Pearl…
