Last 50 of 86- Lack Of Power, Poor Throttle Response... Thanks for the replies so far. Yes, Im about 90% sure things arent quite right. It maybe wouldnt be totally obvious to someone who doesnt know the bike as well, but its been a gradual thing that Ive been noticing for…
- Lack Of Power, Poor Throttle Response... I guess it would be a good idea. I havent started looking at it at all yet....but doing a compression test would be a good idea. I would think though, if I had a valve or more hanging open a bit, that id maybe be…
- Lack Of Power, Poor Throttle Response... Havent been on in awhile, but an issue has gradually been getting a bit worse, and now that Ive figured out that it's not actually my imagination, i wanted to check in.... '02 non abs, 54k miles. Gradually over the last…
- Vario Adjustable Footpegs http://www.twistedth...roductlist/762/ Hopefully that link works, as I had trouble with their site earlier. But, basiclly it appears there's adjustable footpegs now available, and was wondering if anyone has tried them.…
- Ebay Mirrors... I looked at those too....and am still curious about them. The only thing with ebay stuff is sometimes theyl sell something that is listed for a certain bike, but it turns out its more "universal" than it should be. At…
- Vtec Valves Valve checks should be done, whether it be on cars or bikes....but not typically according to the manufacturer's intervals, which i think are a bit exaggerated. Unless maybe the engine really has some hard miles on it.…
- The High Mileage Thread... What Do You Have On Your Vfr? Now at 44k on my '02.....but the season's just gotten under way. Would like to hit 60k by winter. Its good to have goals....
- Ticking Sound On '03 Vfr My guess would be the cam chain tensioner lifter from what you described, and most likely the front one. As far as I know, it may just be something you'll have to live with...as I know that replacing the lifter will…
- Is This Tire Cupping Or Just Wear? No kidding.....i agree. It seems this tire wear issue goes both ways.....some will like to brag about how long they got out of their tires, or how many miles...(which is good), but on the other end of the spectrum…
- Vfr Woes Part 3 Probably not a tight chain... And the famous surging that is known on these bikes I believe usually happens at at least that temperature, and ive only noticed it at normal operating temperature. Its usually more…
- Vfr Woes Part 3 I should also add too, regarding something i posted about last year... Riding one night through OshKosh last summer, at speeds about 25-30mph. I had noted that the usual surge had been a bit more apparent than normal…
- Vfr Woes Part 3 I cant be too specific with my advice, but Im going to share what I know at this point, now that the season has been here again for a few weeks, and ive goten some miles in. My bike has always had the surge...before and…
- New Lowered Footpegs (buell Ulysses) These pegs are about one inch lower than stock. It appears that the brake pedal has about that much adjustment left in it, but of course its up to your personal taste whether itl be enough...
- New Lowered Footpegs (buell Ulysses) Picked up my Ulysses pegs from the dealer last weekend and installed them. A few small notes... The holes in the new pegs are much larger than the pin, or holes in our OEM pegs. When installing the pin with the new…
- Laminar Lip? Ive been using the Vario Touring screen since last spring. I do like it overall, because i like adjustability. The main thing i did notice is it kept noticably more air off my neck when adjusted up, which makes a…
- Is The Vfr800 The Ultimate All-rounder? Im kinda surprised the BMW GS was coming in as low as it showed on the poll....those have a larger than VFR-like following because of their "all-around-ness", AND have some off road capability. And noting how long…
- New Lowered Footpegs (buell Ulysses) Just ordered those part # pegs from a Buell/HD/BMW dealer an hour or so from here. Mite as well make a mini-road trip out of it, as its a good excuse to spend some time looking at the new BMW's too....lol. $24 each,…
- New Lowered Footpegs (buell Ulysses) Excellent....sounds good. As long as the Canadian/US part numbers are the same, I'll be ordering a set... Thanks for the info...
- New Lowered Footpegs (buell Ulysses) Just to add my input, and to keep this thread alive... I stopped at an HD dealer yesterday, and checked out an '09 Ulysses and the pegs that were on it. I inquired what the pegs would cost at the parts counter for an…
- Tyres, Temperatures And Pressures Yeah, we have a Costco near by here that opened last year, and they're using nitrogen too. We here have lost a few tire sales here and there due to them. Im thinking they're pushing the nitrogen thing as a selling…
- Tyres, Temperatures And Pressures Another factor that doesnt have much to do with ambient temps is the makeup of our wheels. A few seminars Ive been to either by Honda and Dunlop advised that slow pressure drop is normal to an extent, due to the wheels…
- 2002 Poor Throttle Response, Poor Running... Well, over the weekend i did check my starter valves again, and they were all perfect.....just as I had them in spring when i adjusted them last. Nothing else looked suspicious. I then thought to check for codes, but…
- 2002 Poor Throttle Response, Poor Running... Excellent, well I'll be looking into that first here before anything else.... Thanks for the info thus far, but keep the ideas and replies comin....
- 2002 Poor Throttle Response, Poor Running... I shouldve mentioned some of these other items in my first post here... I do run fuel injector cleaner in the bike on a regular basis....Chevron Techron to be exact. Every few thousand miles, including twice after the…
- 2002 Poor Throttle Response, Poor Running... BR....Im not as familiar with these engine management systems as those on cars....could there be a code even though I havent seen an FI light come on at all? And when installing my top case and having the seat off, I…
- Gearing Down A Vfr Exactly....i went to a 1996VFR front sprocket. The speedo is correct now, but yes, the odometer should be registering a bit slower now. Thats why I havent been able to calculate actual real fuel economy numbers. But, I…
- Gearing Down A Vfr Gearing mine "down" to lower rpms by doing the front sprocket actually make my speedo accurate for the first time. I thought most of these bikes read too high to begin with? Mine is within 1mph right now, which ended up…
- 2002 Poor Throttle Response, Poor Running... As some may have read, recently my '02 started running poorly at light throttle and very low idle one night recently. The issue cleared itself up over the span of 100 miles and hasnt returned, but intermittently Im…
- Gearing Down A Vfr Last fall I decided I wanted lower RPM's for my freeway riding as well, so I just got an OEM front sprocket for a '96 I believe. It did just what I wanted it to, and was identical to the OEM on the 6th gen, except for…
- Coocase Top Box I had considered that one too even though im still not sold on the looks of ANY top case totally....but, at twistedthrottle they said the Maxia one wasnt available yet. I installed the V36 yesterday with the SW Motech…
- Safety Recall You're exactly right. If it were warranty, then itd be a different story. But, a recall says that they are to replace the harness, period. They're fixing a known issue that could or likely will exist, at some point in…
- Coocase Top Box Hey all. In my exhaustive research in looking at numerous topcases this week last minute, as I decided i wanted one for riding down to MotoGP, I finally ended up with this. Seemed like the best bang for the buck...…
- Stumbling 6th Gen... Did just check the battery for the heck of it; its holding steady at about 13.2 volts after the bike's been off for awhile. I did use my automotive battery tester to test the battery that we use in the shop; the battery…
- Stumbling 6th Gen... oh, and also, the battery thing did cross my mind. ive volt tested it but not load tested it; yes, just a volt test only tells part of the story. I may look into that here first just so i know where i stand. I should…
- Stumbling 6th Gen... Thanks for the replies so far... Concerning the idle adjustment; I couldve adjusted it up back to spec, but I shouldnt have to. Idle adjustment should only be one of those things you only have to do once or twice in a…
- Stumbling 6th Gen... Hey all. I was riding my '02 saturday evening at low speed through the city. I had noted to myself at one point, without looking at the tach, that the famous 4500rpm stumble had seemed to really be acting worse on that…
- Just Replaced Chain & Sprockets Yeah, I was kinda wondering the same thing; if you had that many miles on it already, for an '07. Either way though, it looks good! Ive become a fan of the gold chains; I put the RK on my '02 last year at 31k miles.…
- Battery Just....dead....nice I went the Batteries Plus route too. They have both the 12 and 14 series batteries in stock at their stores for about half of what the Yuasa's are. The OEM/Yuasa is a better battery Im sure, but the price of batteries…
- What Are The Stock Tires For 6th Gen (2007) ? "The Roadsmart is up-to-par with the PR2 and BT021 !" IMO, not near the tire that the PR2 is. For those that have seen my recents posts/threads, know what Im talking about.....lol. But to keep on subject, I think…
- Roadsmarts Vs Pilot Road 2's No problem, Yeah, just felt this would be useful info. Theres alot of people who will rave about a new set of tires about how that brand handles so much better, how it falls into turns easier, etc....when in reality its…
- Roadsmarts Vs Pilot Road 2's Oh, and I shouldve mentioned. I was in a bit of rain this weekend with the new tires, although not alot. Had no issues whatsoever, but Ive really never had alot of wet issues with any of the tires Ive owned so far…
- Roadsmarts Vs Pilot Road 2's As some of you might have read, I recently had my second front Roadsmart sent in for warranty, due to poor/abnormal wear which started to become noticable on the second one after about 1500 miles, and the first one sent…
- Surging Surging Surging! To follow up with this thread incase some of you didnt see my post in my other thread from last week, the official word from Honda is that the velocity stacks are to be both short in front and both tall in the rear.
- Dunlop Roadsmarts Impression I think that's part of the issue, is I think that many others who are reporting no issues with their Roadsmarts simply maybe dont have the mileage yet to see any issues. I doubt that ALL of them will have front wearing…
- Dunlop Roadsmarts Impression Dealer just called, $252 for the Michelins. Think i might go that route....if he can get them in time..
- Dunlop Roadsmarts Impression That's the BT021. He showed me an employees CBR who put them on just before his ride to Vegas and back, and it is astounding how well they wore, and whats still left on them. But, i still have mixed feelings about them.…
- Dunlop Roadsmarts Impression Thanks BR. Yeah, that's what im hoping for, but for the moment im kind of at the mercy on which ones we can get sooner for my trip this weekend. He quoted me a price of $180 for the Bridgestones believe it or not, lol.…
- Dunlop Roadsmarts Impression Well, in my last post I apparently spoke too soon. Now having maybe 1700 miles on the replacement front tire, i noticed yesterday that it's beginning to slightly do the same thing. its not as noticable yet as in my…
- Dunlop Roadsmarts Impression Yeah, i like the tires overall too. I didnt want this thread to come across like the problem i had was something to be expected of these tires, especially since it did end up being just basically a defect....which can…
- Dunlop Roadsmarts Impression Oh, hey....just saw you're in Kenosha... Im in Cedarburg, and Cedar Creek Motorsports is who I use. Since they caught onto everyone buying their tires online and just using them for the mounting and balancing, they…
