  1. Wiring Up A Power Socket. 25 Apr 2016 06:39 I do a little follow-up here. :) Fink's got a point. The OEM cig-lighther is rated 1A only, so I fiddeled together a relay. The relay's coil is driven by the bike's auxillary connector. One of the relay's contact is…
  2. Wiring Up A Power Socket. 18 Apr 2016 17:14 Jussi I went to battery bay and checked how the extra OEM accessory connector looks like. I found a red connector close to battery + pole. There seems to be actually both female and male 4 way connectors in place. But…
  3. Wiring Up A Power Socket. 17 Apr 2016 09:15 Jussi Timm, thanks for sharing this. Is that extra connector also used for the Honda OEM 12V Socket (Honda P/N 08U70-MJM-D00)? Does someone sell plugs that fit to the extra connector? You can also find the connector if…
  4. Picture Thread 17 Apr 2016 09:09 I chose no scenic spot at all. :biggrin: I just had to play with my camera and some flashes when the bike was parked in the garage during winter hibernation. New wallpaper for the computer. Yey! [image: viff1.jpg]…
  5. Wiring Up A Power Socket. 14 Apr 2016 16:15 There is already an option-connector for accessories. Use this. It has its own fuse as well, called "ACC". Look by the battery. There is an unused connector, if you dont have the extra cig-plug installed (even If you…

  7. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 4 Nov 2015 16:10 So I read through every single page of this thread, googled for hours and narrowed the list of exhausts that I deemed acceptable down to three. My criteria were: - not obnoxiously loud - Looked good and showed off as…

  9. Alternative To The Plastic Clips? 13 Oct 2015 07:06 Thanks SlideRule! That's an easy solution. I'll try that when I re-mount the panels. I already have a 250-pack of plastic studs in the garage, but I simply don't like to fiddle with them.
  10. Alternative To The Plastic Clips? 11 Oct 2015 18:13 So. I finally broke one of the stupid plastic clips the holds the lower fairing together on the underside. Why did Honda build a sturdy work horse and decide to put these utterly silly plastic clips underneath? Since…
  11. Vtech Buzzing Vibration 21 Jul 2015 06:42 When VTEC engages two more valves are active per cylinder. Is it possible that one cylinder is not running well with four valves, but is fine with two? If it is running bad on one cylinder at high rev this could cause…
  12. Service Connector 7 Jul 2015 19:28 Remove the seat and the battery cover. The service connector is located right next to the +pole of the battery. It is a four pin connector with a "dummy plug" on it. Remove the dummy plug and short two pins to access…
  13. Will The 2014 Quickshifter Fit On The Gen 6 Models? 26 Jun 2015 10:36 The QS-addon for the 8th gen is basically just a switch that closes when you push the gear lever upwards. It connects to a connector behind upper front left cowl. Even if you modify it to fit mechanically on a 6th gen…
  14. Fuel Cap 21 Jun 2015 14:12 ok, I have to take a step back on this one. I lifted the tank the other day and noticed that the breather tube indeed was kinked. It was bended right where it is connected at the tank. When I took it off (in order to be…
  15. Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? 16 Jun 2015 16:46 emil I have no probs with the indicators on the Autobahn, and I ride there all the time. Thou shalt not dislike the great auto-cancelling indicators!11 ;) I wish I had them on the NC. There's a saying here in Sweden…
  16. Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? 15 Jun 2015 17:40 After a 5000km trip through Europe I like my de-self-cancelling indicators even more! Im so glad I deactivated that function. So good to know they are still on when trying to change lane on a crowded street i south…
  17. Vfr Riders Usa And Canada Facebook 9 Jun 2015 20:12 Why all this spamming with that fb-link? :unsure:
  18. Fuel Cap 6 Jun 2015 19:13 Mine's like that every time I open it. Ssssswwoop!!! Been riding the bike for a total of 5000km / 3000miles during a touring-trip the last two weeks. It's been working great the whole time, so I don't consider it to be…
  19. Ok, I'm Stoopid... Chain Adjustment? 22 May 2015 16:38 When the rear of the bike is compressed downwards (as when riding with passenger, accellerating, going over bumps etc), the chain is tensioned. This is caused by the front sprocket is not in the exact pivot point as the…
  20. Oem Parts In The Uk...? 19 May 2015 19:14 As JZH said, the older VTEC has many common engine parts with the new Viff. RC79 is a little new yet, I guess. :) I bought some stuff for my previous bike from this place. It was a Suzuki, but they also supply parts for…
  21. Engine Died 16 May 2015 05:53 Mine usually hangs quite steady at 78 C...
  22. Engine Died 12 May 2015 18:10 I just feel sad for you, Emil. New bike and the best part of the season (at least imho). :unsure: I hope things will make out for the best - and soon! Good thing you have the NC now. Completely bikeless would be bad.
  23. Engine Died 11 May 2015 05:33 No! So sad to hear. Keep us updated and lets hope the dealer just didn't put some connector back properly when they did the service ... or something like that. (I'll be using the german Autobahns in two weeks, so I…
  24. Ecu Flash 25 Apr 2015 15:54 I find the VFR way smoother at low speed than my previous bike, a Suzuki Bandit. The only time my Vfr behaves strange at low speed is right after taking off after a cold start. I have a number of speed bumps I need to…
  25. Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? 25 Apr 2015 15:42 Don't misunderstand my previous post. I like safety features. In an emergency I like both ABS, TC, airbags in cars and all sort of that stuff. Used correct and wisely, many tings are quite good. The VFRs' blinker thingy…
  26. Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? 25 Apr 2015 10:36 +1 phatstorage The best electronic safety feature would be something that blocks the driver to access to most non-traffic related parts of a celluar phone, disabling things like Facebook, SMS, Candycrush ... or whatever…
  27. Front Braking Unevenness And Judder 10 Apr 2015 06:45 If you have a completely non-usable caliper due to a broken piston and you've used the bike normally during one year, I think Honda have a problem. IMHO it acctually sounds a bit unlikely. I would take the caliper off…
  28. Quickshifter 2 Apr 2015 18:58 Btw. The guy who thought the plastic clip at point 23 in the install guide was a good idea ... were wrong. I used my whole supply of foul words before I threw it away and used a zip-tie instead.
  29. Quickshifter 2 Apr 2015 16:37 Link for the fitting guide? http://powersports.h...U70-MJM-D10.pdf :happy:
  30. Satnav Mounting 1 Apr 2015 17:11 Hi I bought a RAM-mount for pipes, got rid of the u-bolt and put it to the bike using the two bolts that keeps the tank in place at the front. Longer bolts are needed though. They are standard metric. The RAM-mount for…
  31. Rapid Bike Ecu For Eighth Gen 18 Mar 2015 16:43 Thanks for clarifying. :happy: Seems to be a box worth looking for, as a alternative to a PC.

  33. Rapid Bike Ecu For Eighth Gen 17 Mar 2015 06:51 Is it this we're talking about? http://rapidbike.us/...14-vfr800-vtech (Personally I've never heard of it... :mellow: )
  34. Wiring Diagram 8 Mar 2015 07:20 Yes, you use the bliker as on any bike (strange bmw.s excepted...). On a "normal" bike without Honda's automatic blinker cancel device the blinker switch cannot be of momentary type since it keeps on blinking until you…
  35. Wiring Diagram 7 Mar 2015 20:08 No worries, Fotodadi. Sounds like a fun project! I think the purpose of the cancel switch is this: If one blink to the right, make the turn and the blinker is autmatically turned off, the blink switch on the handlebar…
  36. Wiring Diagram 7 Mar 2015 10:42 Hi Fotodadi! Interesting project! On the 800 with self cancelling blinkers there is a special box that acts as blink-relay. It is located behind the upper front fairing. On the 800 without this facility, there is an…
