  1. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 31 Aug 2020 10:33 petarm, 6/24/2020 at 11:49 AM Just to be clear, I'm not interested in swapping out forks with different model units from the CBR range or the SP1/ SP2 or even R1. For one, these units are becoming very rare to purchase…
  2. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 17 Jun 2020 10:53 vfrcapn, 6/6/2020 at 6:53 AM Looks like the 8th gen rads and fan will just fit with the 8g header and 5g fairings, may need to keep the 5g oil cooler though. [image: 20200604_221918.jpg] Do you have a build thread on…
  3. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 29 May 2020 09:32 Just did the f4i swap and revalve on my 5th gen. Got a nice rear shock to compliment it. Worth it. Have more confidence in turns and on uneven ground. Feels like a new bike. Also, the adjustability is a fantastic tool…
  4. Pilot Road 2 clearance 23 Mar 2020 15:33 Dutchy, 3/22/2020 at 10:16 AM Nothing wrong with the PR2; German mc mag Motorrad pitched them against the PR3, 4 and 5 and found very little real life difference. Especially for the price. So if the DOT code is 18 up,…
  5. front f4i fork/brake swap = rear f4i brake cylinder? 1 Nov 2019 08:11 Thank you guys! This was the last link 'we' needed! Gathering the parts, itself, has been a challenge being that so many of the used 'good' looking parts have had their own individual problems. The rear cylinder, that…
  6. front f4i fork/brake swap = rear f4i brake cylinder? 31 Oct 2019 21:55 Really quick question. A lot of the f4i fork swap threads mention buying something similar to a f4i rear cylinder along with a f4i front M/C. Could some one explain to me exactly why? I have a suspension shop doing this…
  7. New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 8 Oct 2019 05:05 Duc2V4, 8/30/2019 at 10:06 PM Johnpon, shipping to Greece shouldn't be an issue we have sent headers to England, Norway and even Australia. The shipping cost can vary greatly but what seems to be the same, a customs fee…
  8. Custom Devil Dual Underseat Exhaust System 25 Sep 2019 07:07 Great work on this mate. Had an old wolf exhaust on a previous bike and would love to go down the same route as you did. Here in Poland, we don't have great affordable options (zl vs. euro/pounds) and a dual aliexpress…
  9. Powder coated wheels on 5th Gen 14 Sep 2019 16:29 Black isn't the worst choice ;D Hides the dirt! I've been powdercoating my wheels gold for every red VFR I get. Looks AMAZING, but it definitely let's everyone know when they're dirty or not haha. (Clear coats on top…
  10. What's a good beginner bike for my friend? 3 Sep 2019 17:08 18 hours ago, VFR4Lee Is there an area of Poland called Socal? I don't think I know anyone here in L.A. who would rather try to run than just stop and take the ticket. You can't out run the radio, and probably not the…
  11. What's a good beginner bike for my friend? 2 Sep 2019 13:58 Mohawk, 8/29/2019 at 11:34 PM I’m not serious, that is the EU’s view ! 😞 To be fair, there might be a higher number of people with self preservation in Euro. The Socal (bad population sample) were more predisposed to…
  12. seat cover + seat pad = cheap corbin seat? 30 Aug 2019 11:42 14 hours ago, Marvelicious Oooohhh... A couple hours? The stock seat wasn't comfortable immediately on contact with my backside! The Sargent aftermarket seat was okay for an hour or two... The best so far has been the…
  13. seat cover + seat pad = cheap corbin seat? 29 Aug 2019 13:01 Hey there you guys. Starting to notice that the oem seat isn't comfortable after a couple hours 😉 Situation is that I bought a seat cover (refer to image) without any additional padding in it. They told me the other…
  14. What's a good beginner bike for my friend? 29 Aug 2019 07:00 Thank you for all the input you guys. Going to sit him down and show all the bikes mentioned here. Hopefully he isn't too cool for school and actually listens a bit before just buying the first shiny new thing.
  15. What's a good beginner bike for my friend? 27 Aug 2019 13:29 We're both over 30 and he's "mature". Going to let him experience 1st gear and neutral 😉 on my VFR before trying to suggest such a bike. But...... clean clean clean VFRs go for less or same price as a new 250cc. Thanks…
  16. What's a good beginner bike for my friend? 27 Aug 2019 08:53 Hello there fellas and felladies? I know this is a type of question that pops up often but will ask it anyways for my pal. We both live in poland and he wants to finally take the plunge and get some cruiser/sportster.…
  17. Computer radiator fans 23 Aug 2019 21:19 We're talking about using these: https://www.coolerguys.com/collections/waterproof-resistant-fans/ip67
  18. Computer radiator fans 23 Aug 2019 19:42 Thank you for the responses. They really helped out. When the bike is out of the commission, will try to do this mod. One last question. How loud do you reckon our radiator fans are? Feel like, if it wasn't for the…
  19. Computer radiator fans 23 Aug 2019 15:49 What about car fans like this (just smaller):…
  20. Computer radiator fans 22 Aug 2019 10:24 1 hour ago, Marvelicious Thank you, was looking for that post. So how is it holding up?
  21. Computer radiator fans 22 Aug 2019 08:32 Hi there. Has anyone tried putting on (dual) computer fans onto the radiators? Results? What direction did you push the wind? Will check the dimensions of our radiators but saw something like this:…
  22. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 4 Aug 2019 10:48 Thanks my man. Appreciate it.
  23. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 1 Aug 2019 07:14 Want to get the f4i forks and etc. Do you guys have any experience with these risers and if there would be a problem? [image: handles.jpg]
  24. Custom Brake Lines 20 Jul 2019 16:26 Ha, the pound was over 5 zl at one point but the current 4.5-4.8 zl/pound really doesn't help much haha. We make the same figures as you guys, all expenses are similar too, but just in zloty. A beer here is 10 zl...…
  25. Headlight issues 20 Jul 2019 16:21 3 hours ago, LID iirc from my cbr, the switch you're talking about is on the right side. A horizontal switch. Off. Parking lights. Low beams. The switch looks like the blinker switch...but on the right side. The high…
  26. Custom Brake Lines 18 Jul 2019 19:55 Thanks you guys. Saw that ebay listing and was kind of wondering the same thing. Will try to piece things together on that venhill site. Unfortunately the pound is over 4.2 zloty so we'll see. Again, thank you.
  27. Headlight issues 18 Jul 2019 19:51 Question was too dumb to exist.
  28. Custom Brake Lines 18 Jul 2019 08:39 Has anyone just sourced their own brake lines 'kit'? I live in poland and these pre made kits could go for 1000 - 1800 zl after shipping. That's still a lot in our country. Are there cheaper but semi equally effective…
  29. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 16 Jul 2019 11:19 That would be interesting. Thanks for the reply.
  30. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 15 Jul 2019 18:27 erbilabuc, 10/31/2014 at 12:30 AM my 95 with an 09cbr600rr front end. its a direct swap, nothing special needed. the whole thing bolts off the 600rr and onto the vfr and even the fork stops are perfect. The only thing I…
  31. Reblacking the stands 11 Jul 2019 03:33 Can I ask what how durable you're expecting/experiencing the paint to be in regards to constantly making contact with your shoes/boots and the ground.
  32. Where to buy stock and 'mod' parts for the 5th gen? 10 Jul 2019 19:29 Thanks man. Will most likely make that phone call near in the future! Perhaps the sane people got stuck in the asylum instead of the reverse? In regards to our tastes in MCs that is ;D
  33. Where to buy stock and 'mod' parts for the 5th gen? 10 Jul 2019 14:03 Hello you guys. Just got back into riding and with a new bike. Time to buy some parts right? Unfortunately I dumped all the old links to product pages. So any suggestions for reputable sellers? Quick searching seems to…
  34. From San Diego to Poland. Let the Therapeutic Money Pit Begin 9 Jul 2019 10:25 Duc2V4, 7/5/2019 at 5:00 PM Welcome back! My recollection of the forks, is the bearings and sleeve on the fork tube would need to be removed/replaced, other than that I don’t think there’s any other issue to worry…
  35. From San Diego to Poland. Let the Therapeutic Money Pit Begin 5 Jul 2019 11:57 Hey there you guys. Not a new member but returning from a long hiatus. Last big thread was the restoration: https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/85012-san-diego-98-vfr800-restoration/ [image:…
  36. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 9 May 2017 15:22 Well lads, I'm moving to Poland this morning and starting a new chapter! In 16 hours! These are in a very niche market since San Diego is a military and border town; so its R1, BMW 1100 and GXRS for days. I've seen one…
  37. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 8 May 2017 14:38 Thanks brother! So the choke cable was routed in the front of the strut and not in the back so whenever I turned to the right, it was just being pulled to it's length's limit. Funny part was due to the powder coating it…
  38. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 6 May 2017 16:43 It's been figured out. The choke cable was binding. I also had to tighten the center nut cap (not nut). [image: 2dbsbiv.jpg] [image: kd0kz9.jpg] Will try to get you some sound bites. Now that it's all done and I've had…
  39. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 29 Apr 2017 03:46 Thanks brother. Got the idle fixed to to 1200 plus fixed some massive exhaust leaks in the front ports. Very convenient method to adjust that idle. It went from sounding like a ticking lawn mower with a ticking time…
  40. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 28 Apr 2017 22:28 Thanks brother. So just to reiterate, adjusting the screw on the right side of the bike can possibly fix the choke lever stiffness issue. Even if this was something that was never an issue before? Perhaps playing around…
  41. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 28 Apr 2017 18:10 Sorry, I've been calling Oxgard dialectic grease this entire time. Got the bike from the shop (Ivan) and he got it running. Problems? The idle sits at 2,000k rpm, the cooling fan is hitting something, the step isn't…
  42. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 21 Apr 2017 21:26 Question before I go out in the lot in the 90+ weather ;) . Is there any obvious ground spots on the rear subframe or battery box that I would of missed? Both of those surfaces were either painted or powder coated. I…
  43. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 21 Apr 2017 21:22 Still the same
  44. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 21 Apr 2017 19:32 Atm Fuel pump plug: positive .1v / negative 0v Blue plug next to fuel pump pluge: positive 0v/ negative 5v Fuel cut relay: .1v all around the board Engine cut relay: red/orange - .38v, black/white opposite: battery…
  45. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 21 Apr 2017 14:35 That's a good methodology. Will go 'down stream today', especially in the better light, and check again. A shout out to SCguy in helping me out last night in trying to find the problem. We determined it wasn't the pump,…
  46. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 21 Apr 2017 01:21 Thanks Terry At the moment I know that the blue connector, I presume, that goes to the fuel pump is showing <5v. Connector looked clean enough to me. Unfortunately all I did was blow in to it and slab some of that…
  47. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 20 Apr 2017 20:37 At the ignition turned, I'm reading 4.98v at the connectors of the blue connection under the fuel tank. Dumb question but where does it need to be? Same as everywhere else and at 12.4 ish? There was a wiring diagram…
  48. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 20 Apr 2017 20:15 Thanks fellas. Going to get started Edit: can you tell me a bit about jumping the pump and how I'd go about that? First, the blue connector.
  49. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 20 Apr 2017 19:58 Got the new battery. Got the front fairing in place. Repainting and clearing the left side mirror stock base But, the same problem is persisting. The fuel pump problem still persists. Battery reads at 12.24V. I can turn…
  50. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 19 Apr 2017 00:14 Today was spent getting getting some of the last nuts and bolts that were needed. Most of the stuff will be done tomorrow with the aim of getting it running. The main thing holding me back is the battery. The shorai…
