Last 50 of 283- Thermostat issue? bykemike, 12/1/2017 at 9:50 PM Results from a thermostat change: Good ride, nice weather today 72ish, about 40 miles. Bike warmed up very quickly, off the choke sooner than usual, it seems to have lost the rich fuel…
- Thermostat issue? Gotta ask about the Samco hoses...what's the point? You'd be better off sinking that money into suspension components (if you've not done anything already, that is)
- Thermostat issue? 10 hours ago, bykemike OP here, what I hope to do tomorrow is do the test suggested by a few here, the start up with a couple of temp probes attached and see what is what. I am hoping to see a somewhat cool radiator get…
- Thermostat issue? Rogue_Biker, 11/28/2017 at 8:14 PM Well I would never argue the wisdom of replacing something that has reached its useful life. Especially something as important as a Thermostat. I replaced mine after 10 years of use,…
- Bazzaz Early Dyno Results Nikkon, 8/24/2017 at 3:31 PM Hi all, How can I find if my bike has this limitation on 1 & 2 gears? Thanks Open the throttle in 1st and 2nd, does it have a flat spot? If so, the limitation is there.
- Thermostat issue? I think there's a bit of exaggeration going on here. The VFR's ALL show a low needle rise, my 94 barely breaks an 8th in normal riding but hits half way on a summers day in stop start London traffic on my commute. To…
- Thermostat issue? All VFR750's are like this. It's not until you've been riding it hard for a while then end up in London city center style traffic that it gets to the half way mark and the fan kicks in. I wasted a load of money on my…
- 3rd/4th gen brembo upgrade The radial that comes on the R6 these calipers are from is 16mm. It's not just down to MC piston diameter, there's way more to it than that. Also feel preference is a big factor.
- 3rd/4th gen brembo upgrade 3 hours ago, Ghostrider1127 those Mc are fitted in plenty of bikes Ducati , ktm , benelli , kawasaki , yamaha , triumph , aprilia Good to know, opens the options a bit! The piston sizes are 30/34 on the calipers so I'll…
- 3rd/4th gen brembo upgrade CandyRedRC46, 10/9/2017 at 3:43 PM The stopping power with the 04-06 R1 swap is phenomenal. Excellent feel as well. Very easy to modulate and not overly touchy either. Part of me wants to upgrade to 2011-2016 gsxr…
- FAO Dutchy Damn man, great trip ruined. Still, memories and an SP2. Glad you're ok :)
- Thurn Motorsports making side stand panel He's been making these for a while, just need to email and request one. Unsure about seat cowls but they'd be a great seller for him
- FAO Dutchy What happened to your bike? Saw your RIP bit beneath your name but can't find a thread relating to it.
- New Member / New Bike (93) Nice. You'll inevitably go bonkers on mods like I have and end up with an absolute beast [image: IMAG0998.jpg]
- Just picked up a 93 vfr750f They can be so very pretty in standard fairing form...
- Just picked up a 93 vfr750f Did you really need to pull the carb plate? Seems excessive to simply clean the bowls, etc. In terms of fairing, the bike will look (in a word) crap with the RC30 fairing as you've got those big fins on the back end of…
- Vfr 750 - 92 The plastics are meant to act as a heat shield to stop the air flow from warming up. Doubt it'd make much difference but every degree counts! I'd be out riding in that if I had to get somewhere, not if it was for "fun"…
- Vfr 750 - 92 The snorkel increases the velocity of the air into the air box, removing it is futile - it'll make the bike a bit noisier and that's about it, might create flat spots in the rev range
- Vfr 750 - 92 Lorne, 3/25/2017 at 2:06 AM On the other hand, you can easily fit the 2000-2009 mirrors for a sleeker look. Nope. You can fit the 98-2001, beyond that - they won't fit as the mounting holes are spaced differently.
- Rear Wheels/tires, The End All Discussion Anyone got any pictures of or a how to guide for notching the 5th gen+ wheels to fit the 3rd and 4th gen. I see a lot of talk but no solid how-to's for it, I wouldn't mind trying a CB1000R on mine but don't want to…
- Not happy with my Delkevic high-mount slip-on I'm the guy that talked Delkevic into producing the high level exhausts for the 3rd gen, I've had one and so have many of the guys on the RC36 FB group, none of us have had this angle issue, they've all sat tight to the…
- rear view mirrors A video I made [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/cpZ3P_A4WuI?feature=oembed]
- Spotted in S.E London Keep seeing a red rc36-2 going down Jamaica Road in London, heads off over Tower Bridge. Has a vfr800 rear wheel, both wheels are gold. Chap wears a hi-viz jacket. Anyone on here?
- Two Brothers Header Replication! No idea why my profile posts as RC36, I created that eons ago and don't use it anymore. Seems to be some confusion over my facebook account it seems. Miguel, given the utter arseache it is to remove/install the sebring…
- What else to do?! Ha, notice the right pillion peg is missing? Chopped down...do not want my wife on the back of this thing :) I've got two other cowls. One's a fiberglass one that needs a bit of work and paint (£40 to whoever wants it)…
- Braided front brake lines Yeah they're good enough, but if you want slamming-into-a-brick-wall style stopping power, the standard calipers are waaaay off that
- What else to do?! Ha, I know and it might be on the cards in the future. It really does handle lovely with the Maxton front end, it certainly outperforms me anyway!
- What else to do?! [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/FzJ5GQO_njI?feature=oembed]
- Braided front brake lines 10 hours ago, scottbott mine has Hel brake and clutch lines fitted by the previous owner,this is my first VFR so do not know how good or bad the brakes are,never used them in real anger as yet Not great, certainly not…
- Braided front brake lines Could you get an extended banjo bolt and put a washer between the reservoir housing the the lines? It should push them outwards and away from the forks. Looks like you'd need about an inch extra to do that though haha
- Braided front brake lines Pic of girlfriends long legs? :cheerleader: I can see where you're coming from now, I personally wouldn't worry about them touching the forks as they'll make contact at the point of contact below the reservoir and never…
- Braided front brake lines Do they? I've had braided lines on all my VFR's (apart from the one I have now) and never had the banjo fitting hit the fork.
- Braided front brake lines You'll have two separate lines, one going from each caliper. Just get a bit of string and measure the sensible path upwards :)
- Two Brothers Header Replication! And TBH I don't think you missed out on this not having this system, Dutchy. It was a pig to fit and an even bigger pig to tune the carbs to it. Would I do it again? Doubt it.
- Two Brothers Header Replication! We're talking specifically about left exit systems
- Braided front brake lines Measure your existing lines, add the height of the helibars, add another inch for good measure. Sorted, surely?
- Two Brothers Header Replication! Exactly, I'm sure with a bit of cash laid down and some coercing, they could be talked into producing something to order. The demand is certainly there, I just don't think Tyga are the be all and end all (although I do…
- What else to do?! I'm umming and ahhing about what to do next. Here's the bike so far: [image: 16832372_1336821763105846_50560776796297] [image: 16807002_1336821793105843_74570849602025] [image: 16649285_1336821699772519_64279224297735]…
- Two Brothers Header Replication! Is there a particular reason why Tyga need to be the guys for this work? There's a sh*t tonne of exhaust fabricators out there that could make light work of this. All they'd need is the TBR/a left exit set of headers.…
- Triumph hub on 750? 12 hours ago, YoshiHNS There are two threads about it. One of MrMatts, and one of mine (haven't finished it yet). We both needed wheel spacers and to machine the triumph axles. Not aware of a drop-in solution. IIRC, I…
- Triumph hub on 750? Cool, thanks
- Triumph hub on 750? Who says it's for this bike!? (it is :P )
- Triumph hub on 750? Can anyone confirm which year hub/axle from the speed triple or sprint are identical to the VFR750's. I want to put a single nut wheel on the rear Here's how she's looking these days btw! [image:…
- 3rd gen muffler flexible joint seal! Where to find? Another alternative is to pack the inside of the domed connection on the end can with exhaust tape. Those exhaust gaskets are becoming rare of rocking horse shit
- 15Mpg? Omg...fml I bet I could bring it down to 40 miles to the tank if I rode it like I do my VFR750.
- 15Mpg? Omg...fml No to the way I ride it. Also, no matter the suspension, it's never going to flick side to side as well as something lighter and with a not-so-wide rear tyre, it is what it is. I pined after one of these bikes for ages…
- 15Mpg? Omg...fml John, having watched your vid I don't envy you your commute but would suggest that your fuel consumption is reasonable when you consider the bike and the way you have to ride it; lots of short acceleration (which uses a…
- Hey All, New Guy Here. Why Did You Choose 3Rd/4Th Over 5Th Gen? 3rd gen all day [image: IMAG1623_1_zps3eq2l1sr.jpg] It's not even close.
- Bike Won't Start Has nobody else had this issue?
- What's A Neglected '93 Worth? Think how nice you could make it with some paint and elbow grease [image: IMAG1625_zpsuqulfkus.jpg] [image: IMAG1624_zpso2n0ncjn.jpg] [image: IMAG1623_1_zps3eq2l1sr.jpg] [image: IMAG1620_1_zpsvpvwilr7.jpg] I just need…
