Last 50 of 100- Just curious, so when does you riding season typically end I know I was riding into late October this year, but only because of a career change and I was able to. I live in Maine so you never know. Next year will probably be different as I will get to ride a lot more.
- Backrest for a 4th Gen, in a hurry :} I had contemplated doing something similar before buying the Givi setup. My wife didn't like not having anything behind her. The Givi box is nice for small shopping trips.
- 4th gen carb: turns of screw? 22 hours ago, Scotty750 Hey folks, short-time lurker, new owner of '94 VFR750F 'garage find'. This forum Rocks. What "Single D" tool(s) are you using to adjust the pilot screws? I'm thinking of putting a Motion Pro D…
- Motorcycle hearing protection/earplugs I wear Flare Isolate ear plugs for work, which is being around large diesel engines. I have yet to try them on my motorcycle but I used to get blackheads from the regular foam plugs. These are metal ends with…
- Bike took a big hit Damn that sucks. I don't know if you remember but I live in Maine as well. Depending on when you get home we will be in the state at the same time. I will have to decide which I want but I have both a left and right…
- LED Brake / Tail Light Bulb Replacement 12 hours ago, Lannyl81 So the Thurn clear rear turn signals have an LED board in them; not an 1157 LED "bulb"....is that correct? The front Thurn clear turn signals do have an 1157 LED "bulb", correct? I double checked…
- LED Brake / Tail Light Bulb Replacement 5 hours ago, Lannyl81 coupedupsbie: a bit confused by your reply above; you installed switchback bulbs?....in the rear?...but the turn signal indicators are separate from the tail / brake light....or did you mod the…
- LED Brake / Tail Light Bulb Replacement I use Diode Dynamics for my LED bulb needs. When I bought Thurn Motorsports clear housings for the front blinkers I put in switchback bulbs.
- First Multi-Night Ride - Montreal to Mount Cadillac (Maine) Sena has a number of decent Bluetooth communication solutions. I would recommend some sort of communication. In addition to using your phone for a GPS, I would have a set of directions stashed away somewhere. There is…
- Thermostat issue? 4 hours ago, Rogue_Biker If your bike is carburated, it wouldn't compensate with a richer mixture even if the engine temp is low. At least not the way I understand it. Unless you had to keep the choke on to idle…
- RC36.2 (4th Gen) Fuel Injection discussion Ken, As you mentioned having a welder and other tools to fabricate with, if you have a lathe you could possibly make up some adapters to go between the hose sizes. If the OD's have a large enough difference you could…
- Thermostat issue? Most older bikes will smell slightly rich. Mine started smelling even richer after I de-PAIR'd it, no longer burning unburnt fuel leaving the cylinder. I need to get it to a good shop with a dyno and someone experienced…
- Thermostat issue? 48 minutes ago, bykemike 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 smell at…
- How to lift RC36 to replace shock without centerstand? A good set of jack stands and a steel rod through the mount points for the center stand works pretty good.
- Thermostat issue? Mine was doing the same. I was doing other stuff so I drained the coolant, flushed with water, changed the thermostat, pulled and wiped off the sensors. After I refilled the system I taped the temp sensor that came with…
- Riding quotes 38 minutes ago, Skids It's all about the upbringing and if guns are part of your life, I guess.... I've shot a lot of bullets from pistols (Walther PPK, Magnum, Sig-Sauer P226, Glock) to police-issue semi's (H&K MP5) to…
- Riding quotes 2 hours ago, Woodie To Wife’s friends “You ride something that is only 1 Horsepower but has no brakes, a mind of its own and bolts at the sight of a squirrel and you call what I ride dangerous?” I sent this to my…
- Hybrid Exhaust I almost went the high mount route. I'm currently in the possession of two Two Brothers exhaust systems, one left exit and one right exit. I'm having a new link pipe made for the right exit as the original one got…
- Clear Clutch Window 7 hours ago, SportTouring What bike is the clear cover donated from? The links are old and broken, but I want to make this happen Is it from a Ducati perhaps? It is all new pieces, machined just for this, nothing from…
- Hybrid Exhaust Any 2" inlet muffler that uses a clamp should work. Some mufflers use a set of springs, which would require adding a set of hooks to the link pipe.
- Opinions on D&D exhaust? Chances are it is just a straight through 2" muffler, baffle with be perforated and wrapped in exhaust packing. When I rebuilt my Two Brothers I shortened it a few inches, it's quite loud.
- Braided front brake lines 6 hours ago, Devo83 Hmm I don't find the stock setting uncomfortable at all. Everyone fits a bike different. The only issue I have is that I was leaned over slightly too much. The Helibars made just sitting on the bike…
- Braided front brake lines 10 hours ago, Devo83 What are Helibars? Yes i I called Galfer directly to order as I couldn't find them through any distributors. Even Galfer doesn't stock them. Mine were made for my order. Helibars are aftermarket…
- Braided front brake lines 1 hour ago, JZH Hacksaw? Ciao, I already received my new lines with the proper fittings so I do not have to cut or grind them off. While that is a solution I decided to go a different route as I have made this bike a…
- Braided front brake lines 20 hours ago, Devo83 Just put a full Galfer kit on my 93. Clutch and both brake lines. Went on perfectly! Pricing was about $200 Canadian. It appears as though the 90-93 master cylinders do not have the stops around the…
- Quick question Block off plates http://m.ebay.com/itm/Honda-VFR-750-VFR750-Interceptor-Exhaust-Emissions-Plate-AIS-Smog-Block-Off-Kit-/232139921877?nav=SEARCH Items 6 and 18 are what you need for the ports with the small hoses(Where…
- Braided front brake lines 3 hours ago, RC36Rider Good thinking. :wink: I heard of one case where that little detail was overlooked leading to the brake lines snapping clean off upon the first wheelie. :wheel: Fresh underwear time. :goofy:…
- Braided front brake lines Finally got around to measuring and deciding what to do with the brake lines. I just got a Pit Bull headlift front stand, which allows the forks to extend fully. All measurements are overall length(including banjo…
- Posi-Tap I would definitely say the Posi connectors are the next best thing if soldering isn't easy. The fold over splice connectors are absolutely junk IMO.
- Posi-Tap If you are talking about these then what ever matches the wire size. I personally recommend soldering any connections, seen a few failed wires after a while. [image: Screenshot_20170514-072041.png]
- Sprocket nut torque front and rear If you have the Honda service manual for 90-96 then start at page 1-16. There are important torque values listed there. 3rd and 4th gens are the same spec Drive Sprocket Bolt(Front) 38 ft-lbs Driven Sprocket Nut(Rear)…
- Tale of 2 Bikes 7 hours ago, NISxMO Well sold the third gen this past weekend as well as a few of the parts off the bike! Definitely a good start in paying for the fourth gen. Also ended up putting the fourth gen through her maiden…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit The lens would be a concern. If I remember correctly that was only heated to about 150 right?
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit I would still use the sealant TRS sent. Wire insulation is rated for certain temperatures, normally marked on the wire. I'm sure they make sure that 7 minutes in the oven won't hurt anything. I know a number of people…
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit Did the reflector bucket come out separately? All the retrofits I see normally have painted reflector. If it comes out then that makes life easier.
- 4th Gen Projector Retrofit They are different, you have to trim the two lower tabs for them to work then get an adapter plate. http://m.ebay.com/itm/H4-ADAPTER-RINGS-HONDA-VFR750-VFR800-VFR-750-VFR-800-Lifetime-Warranty-/132129416824?nav=SEARCH…
- Obligatory New Member post 1 hour ago, bdutton I'm currently in the planning phases of moving forward with the retrofit. Found a spare used headlight assembly on Ebay to use as a practice piece for pulling the lens off using the oven. I will be…
- 95 VFR carb questions I would recommend a full overhaul of the carbs. Look for corrosion everywhere possible. I will have to find the website but you can buy ethanol resistant seal kits. Have a couple cans of carb cleaner, spray through…
- Truck guys I've thought about getting a trailer before, only needed one once though. It took 3 of us to get my Vfr in my bed easily. I have a lowered truck that will be getting a wheel chock once it's back on the road.
- rear view mirrors RVFR, 2/28/2017 at 0:20 PM Awe, yes you did good there, not only does the base washer need to be right side up, there is also a left and right to them, they are an offset oval shape. Good to hear you figured that out.…
- Braided front brake lines 6 hours ago, 750 Not great, certainly not stoppy inducing and I wouldn't recommend riding quick up someones arse. The bike far outweighs the braking capabilities. Coming from riding a 1993 cb750(nighthawk) with single…
- 4th Gen Dying under throttle when engine is warm I would start with the fuel filter then checking the pump. Hard to say from there.
- Braided front brake lines 46 minutes ago, 750 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…
- Braided front brake lines Still leaning towards getting lines with 45 degree fittings. They offer a few different banjos to fit whatever you need.
- Obligatory New Member post 6 minutes ago, bdutton Thanks for the info Paul! I'll have to look into the later gen mirrors. I'm not a big guy (5-10 150 wet) so getting this bike on the center stand is impossible for me to do by myself lol Sent from…
- Obligatory New Member post Welcome! 1. I put the 00-01 vfr mirrors on mine. No rubber pieces and a lot better than most aftermarket mirrors. I ordered the bolts, metal and rubber pieces for mounting them as well. 2. I have a pit bull rear stand,…
- Braided front brake lines 14 minutes ago, RVFR Awe kinda figure this, just didn't see the helibars being that way. If it where me, I would get a good round file for metal like a chain saw file and do a bit of metal removing there on the banjo…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results I believe my PAIR(AIS) was malfunctioning which can effect the running of the bike in my opinion, it became slightly more responsive but not a lot. The original reason I deleted it was to get proper A/F ratio readings.…
- Braided front brake lines I still need to rotate the levers down slightly to put them at a comfortable position so I need more clearance around the lines. Probably going with 45 degree fittings at the master cylinder.
- Braided front brake lines Here are a couple pictures so you guys can see what I mean. The brake lever could be brought up slightly to make clearance for the line, the clutch lever can not. I'm also ordering another ASV C5 lever for the brake. My…
