Last 50 of 113- Question on Honda ECU operation once a piggyback fuel computer is added I discovered when one of my resistors failed that the fault code thrown u was a failure of the sensors heater. All the resistor does is stops the ecu light flashing a fault that does not affect the running of the bike.
- Center stand removal Don't forget the left hand thread on the right hand side.
- Runabouts Simply rule here in the UK, you always give way to the vehicle on the right. (left in less civilised lands). All road paint should be treated as slippery.
- VTEC Mod If the VTEC transition is bothersome it is due to being in the wrong gear for the conditions.
- Carburettor slide diaphragm Wintergreen oil. http://v4musclebike.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13477
- Do these foot controls (shifter and rear brake levers) look okay to you? I had this problem, vice grips, bent it back.
- Manual Mistakes? 18 minutes ago, CoyoteChris And what IS a bonnet and what is a boot? What are fitting instructions. What is near and far side? I am learning English better than I have been since watching all those period pieces on the…
- Loss of Power during VTEC transition 1 minute ago, 2015vfr Throttle is being applied, but this does not happen when the throttle is first applied, it happens exactly when the vtec transition occurs, and only when the vtec transition occurs, so I'm fairly…
- Loss of Power during VTEC transition Whacking the throttle open in a high gear at relatively lower speeds will do this.
- Different clutch slave cylinder sizes? 5 hours ago, Stray Hello All, Does anyone know how the clutch space piston size of our VFRs (and other Hondas) changes over the years? I know a few numbers: - 5th gen clutch slave is 35.6mm - VTR1000 clutch slave is…
- Hello from Ireland Welcome Phozie, which part of the old country are you from?
- New forum version has just been released [image: c1011eef-a0b3-456d-91d0-5a10f0737859.jpg]
- What did you do to your VFR Today? All be it last week but no point posting without a test. I fitted an Oberon Clutch Slave Cylinder. The difference to stock is quite remarkable, now as light as my CBF 125 to operate but the engagement is over a longer…
- Chinese rip-off Toro’s 5th gen I don't know how anyone in their right mind can accuse the Chinese of copyright infringement. 🤣🤣
- eliminating VTEC on 6th Gen I am sure I have read about this being tried before and the bike ran miserably. Wish I could remember where.
- Abs brake flush and air bleed I have done mine from empty a good few times and by far the quickest way I have found is to suck through each bleed nipple with a large syringe to initially charge the system.
- Yes I'm doing fork service myself. Yes I got stuck, help separating them? You do have to give them a bit of a beating to get them out, don't be delicate about it.
- After my last chain slack adjustment I'm now at replace chain mark: 3 hours ago, FJ12Ryder Over 58,000 miles from one chain? Even with a Scott Oiler that seems like a very large number. I can assure you it is the true figure. The chain itsrlf was not too bad but the front sprocket was…
- After my last chain slack adjustment I'm now at replace chain mark: I got 94600kms out of my original chain. I do think you are ovrr thinking your problem.
- After my last chain slack adjustment I'm now at replace chain mark: Are you sure the sticker was datumed to the chain at the start?
- Cam Chain Tensioner, Without Throttle Body Removal I did my front Cam Chain Tensioner today and took a few photos to show what I did. This is not the full sequence as that has already been done but simply my tips on achieving chain karma. [image:…
- Custom Paint Job options - black and gold? Totally different bike but the coach lining does set it off. [image: 280139_full.jpg]
- Rear brake use 6 hours ago, gloryracing Why would there be a different process for a cruiser? I don't understand why the rear brake first would be suggested. Thanx. Sports bikes have a high c of g, when you apply the front brakes the…
- VTEC transition worse after installing Power Commander V A Dyno set up should solve your problem.
- How to protect rear shock? I have a hugger on mine that extends below the SA which ghas done a wonderful job of keeping the shock and linkages clean, NWS I believe.
- Should Have Called it a Day 1 hour ago, tbzep I took off on the RWB VFR this morning with plans to meet some guys for breakfast and do some riding. The high today is supposed to be nearly 15 degrees lower than the last several weeks at only 85, so…
- Chain Mileage Whilst I can see the point about the inner pin, the inner and outer roller are not protected by an O ring.
- Chain Mileage 8 hours ago, FJ12Ryder Yeah, but what did you change it at the first time? LOL Seriously, that was the original chain as fitted by some Japanese chap in the Honda factory. I did buy an original manufacturer chain and…
- Chain Mileage I changed my chain at 58,900 miles.
- How do I persuade a perturbing exhaust? I fitted a new set of Motad headers to my VTEC, I had to adjust them a little, reminded me a bit of that Greco-Roman wrestling you college boys like so much.
- If Timmy owned a Winnebago Matt black RV in a hot sunny country.....smart move.
- Motad Exhausts gone bust Buy them while you can. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/2740759
- Main Step Heat Guard Mine needed refurbishing after 13 years, I base coated it with etch primer and then a top coat of bar-b-q paint, unfortunately it was silver paint. I then used the correct shade of matt black. Between each coat I gave…
- stuck slide protector rod 7 hours ago, MysteryRider246 I had R&G sliders installed on my 5G a couple years ago. I wonder if I should remove this rod then use Emery Cloth and/or anti-seize lube on it prior to reinstalling it. Yes. It will save…
- stuck slide protector rod 4 hours ago, Viking hey , near enough I'm just outside Wall Heath . where you from Eggs Kings Heath. When I got a replacement for my R&G bar, I mullered the threads hammering it out, I rubbed it down with Emery Cloth. I…
- stuck slide protector rod Viking, I have had a similar problem due to seizure and had to be quite brutal in getting it out but was able to do so without other damage. Are you in the original Duudlaee, the one abot 10 miles from me?
- Rear brake master cylinder question I hope have just done the seals on my Gen 6, the rod is held into the MC by a circlip. Removing the circlip also releases the piston meaning a drake fill and bleed on refitting.
- Essential tools or equipment you got to have Can you set the lift into the floor, saves an awful lot of messing about.
- Norton V4 RR Iwuntdatwun. [image: 1.jpg]
- Radiator Hose Cooler Installed on 6th Gen DB, have you repositioned the horn?
- Unleashing 5th Gen Factory Power + DMr + Thurn MS 16 minutes ago, Cogswell "Washington Police" (AW) listed at the bottom . . . Timmythecop must have some serious pull at Honda to get his own spares code for his rides! :goofy: It is probably becuse those bikes have side…
- Unleashing 5th Gen Factory Power + DMr + Thurn MS Looks like G is good for Germany. Honda Area Code Identification Honda assigned area codes for to their vehicles to assign them to specific international markets. Mostly models with different area codes will have unique…
- Anyone uses the Vac Bag storage sacs? When I had to store my bike outside for 6 months I went to an industrial plastic bag supplier and got a big bag. Rolled the bike into it, threw in a few desiccant bags and zip tied the end up.
- Fork oil SAE comparo In my experience Ohlins mixed to 12.5 equates to other manufacturers 10.
- 72,000 Mile Service 1 hour ago, Skids I was thinking along those lines but have no knowledge either. It is the coolant temp that is read. What coolant are you using?
- Cooling system improvement ? Would there be any value in installing a heat barrier between the exhaust pipes and the sump.
- Missing key Not a big deal as long as you immediately get a new one cut and get the chip paired with the HISS.
- Fast Idle Wax Unit Fault? There is a brass rod on the status that connects to and operates the throttle linkages to adjust the tickover. This tends to corrode which causes it to stick in its seals. WD40 or GT85 and some manual movement with long…
- Fast Idle Wax Unit Fault? First port of call should be a liberal dose of lubricant on the linkages in the area of the waxstat. Worked on many occasions for me when there have been tick over issues.
- a member here?? I imagine the picture would be more interesting if she was riding and he was hanging on the back. Nice Kevlar flip flops.
