All 21- The dreaded valve adjustment No broken spring. Might have been old and not capable to evacuate valve from piston before TDC occured though. Nah, might not be relevant to the OP's question, but perhaps to the "is maintenance necessary" bit of the…
- The dreaded valve adjustment Marvelicious, 5/28/2019 at 8:06 PM Thank you sir... This is actual useful info. If I ever begin to have hard-starting issues, I will definitely consider a valve adjustment as part of my troubleshooting. Oh, I have more…
- The dreaded valve adjustment 19 minutes ago, rhoderage Its a fair point, but the same could be said when I purchased the bike with >40,000km on it... You're right of course, but generally you can at least try to find a used bike with a service…
- The dreaded valve adjustment 21 minutes ago, rhoderage I dont want to pay $800-1000 CAD... I can literally get a replacement engine for half that if need be, which I doubt will be necessary Yeah, but with that replacement engine you have no idea…
- The dreaded valve adjustment Just to add data: did the valve check at recommended 48000km. Three tight valves. VTEC 2002. None of the tight valves were VTEC-valves if I remember correctly. Honda makes good engines, but they don't make magical…
- intermittent vibration at about 3500 to 10000 rpm Another thing, are the fuel lines ok? They could be on the limit fuel flow wise, and when the rubber gets warm and expand slightly they could possible restrict fuel flow enough so that you get starvation. But since…
- intermittent vibration at about 3500 to 10000 rpm 9 hours ago, Wot4y just a thought is there any easy way to prove that the tank breathers working correctly, Open the fuel cap when experiencing vibrations. Is the vibrations suddenly gone? Then you have a breather…
- intermittent vibration at about 3500 to 10000 rpm Have you checked the coils and pickup when warm? You don't have any vibrations when cold, so the error needs to manifest itself before diagnosing is possible. Would be my guess anyway, but I'm not nearly as experienced…
- Vibrations (possible spark plugs) Mohawk, 3/27/2019 at 4:00 PM I’m still concerned your plug falls out of the plug cap. The plug top should either be a threaded rod of said rod with an alloy screw on cap. Either way a plug cap to plug connection should…
- Vibrations (possible spark plugs) I'll fix that, thanks for the tip. At the moment my bike is disassembled waiting for a new clutch center and some filing on the clutch basket. But as soon as that is taken care of I'll get back to tracking the…
- Vibrations (possible spark plugs) It was not the spark plugs. Well, it could still be a misfire at higher rpm's I guess, but it runs beautifully at idle. I've since started to suspect the clutch. I've got problems shifting gears as the clutch don't…
- Vibrations (possible spark plugs) Stray, 3/12/2019 at 9:10 AM I think FJ12Ryder is on to something. If it was plugs you’d have vibrations from the moment you fitted them. Sounds like it only started after your go kart track session? How many miles and…
- Vibrations (possible spark plugs) Background: I have had a vibration issue with my bike for awhile, which occured suddenly after a full hot summers day of running my beloved VFR around a gocart track for a whole day at top speed. After that I rode it…
- 1999 VFR800 Clutch I don't think it's the clutch plates... First thing to check is the clutch push rod. If it is rusty at all polish it and put it back in. Seems to be a common problem with the 5th gen by looking at forums. A rusty push…
- V4 wins Motorcycle.com's '17 Superbike Street Shootout 12 hours ago, GatorGreg Interesting...the vid says it's in 4K - I wonder if that has something to do with it? Weird that the LED headlights wouldn't suffer from the same phenomenon impacting the LED position lights. See…
- Vfr 750 - 92 Hej Jock! I use the same Michelin PR4 as you on my 6th gen, and I have not experienced any slippage. I've only done Knix on a go-kart track, but I was able to lean the bike down so far that the exhaust on the right side…
- YES! The "mad man" is back for the IOM TT 2017 on a Fireblade! Damn, now I want to visit the TT this year. I cant afford it...
- Electrical Upgrade - How To With Pics 2 minutes ago, HispanicSlammer fixed it Excellent! Thank you!
- Electrical Upgrade - How To With Pics The images are still on server (I think), but I guess some server upgrade or other wrecked havoc on the links. Go here for the images:…
- Jeff's 1985 Vf1000Ff Project Switchblade Great find original tools kit and owners manual. Hey this guy has some great stuff. http://oldmanhonda.com/MC/Rrust.html This is what I did, worked like a charm. Really nice bike you found! Skickat från min…
- Another Vf1000 Project I will do a proper introduction thread later (with pictures), but this is the short version. I have an old 84 VF1000FE that I've had for ages, but sadly I've neglected it lately and it is in a state similar with the…
