Last 50 of 62- Slave rebuild necessary? nicholas042416, 6/6/2017 at 1:36 PM To get the piston out unhook the slave line, at this point the slave is loose and you can take it to the bench. Now un screw the blender valve (fluid is gonna go everywhere). At the…
- Reg/Rec caught on fire... Rectumfrier sounds about right! Well all the parts are on their way and she should be up and running by the end of the week! Hopefully with a quality RR replacement this won't ever happen again...
- Reg/Rec caught on fire... 13 minutes ago, slovcan Holy shit, that's horrible! One good thing is you were marshalling when it happened and had the fire extinguishers. Hopefully the damage is limited to the R/R, plug, plastic and seat. That's all…
- Reg/Rec caught on fire... So this weekend I was down in Shelton, WA at The Ridge Motorsports track flagging and doing some track time. I rode down that morning (130 miles) with no problems. Also I've had my Reg and the VFRNESS installed for…
- 4th Gen running problems Thankfully I got the float pin out and had to do no drilling. Got everything cleaned up and blown out really nicely. I took note of my main jets size while I was in there and it seemed a little fishy. I made a little…
- 4th Gen running problems Already checked when I first got the bike, we're good on the tank thankfully. The main cause of debris in the carbs is someone used a sealant on the float bowls instead of replacing the seals. It deteriorated in the…
- 4th Gen running problems It needs the everything deal. Putting in a new petcock, fuel filter, ordered a Honda carburator reseal kit, new plugs, oil and filter. Also changing the coolant hoses and cleaning out the thermostat/housing while the…
- 4th Gen running problems Well when I came home there was a puddle of gasoline underneath the bike and the motor was soaked. The fuel bowls for cylinder 2 and 4 were just draining gas out like crazy. So I pulled the carbs off to clean them out.…
- 4th Gen running problems Well guys I went to start the viffer this morning and it started up on choke and I walked away to put my gear on. Then I heard the bike start to run super rough then proceed to die. Was difficult to get started again,…
- Anybody Use a Nitron rear shock? Thanks for all the input you guys. I looked over pricing for the nitron and it seems to not be as cheap as I remember seeing it. It may not have the adjustability I was looking for but I believe the 929 shock will be…
- Anybody Use a Nitron rear shock? 1 hour ago, thtanner "Has anyone heard about these guys" hahahaha :happy: DMR is the king of VFR suspensions. I'd go that route. 59 minutes ago, Bret Agreed. Just bought this setup last month. Very happy with it. Sent…
- Anybody Use a Nitron rear shock? I've been looking around at rear shock options for some time now. Obvious choice is a Ohlins or Penske...but i want a 3 way adjustable and i don't have $1,200 to $1,500 laying around. Anybody use the Nitron or know…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results So I took her to the dyno again today. I patch up the air box mod, installed a Piper cross air filter, patched up my TBR system, and put a non restrictive mid pipe on. I was hoping that it would potentially lean me out…
- Slave rebuild necessary? 15 hours ago, courtuk The other side is flat. It does look like it belongs inside the piston, however my old piston that was worn, I tried to remove the rubber and it just would not come out, I eventually was digging it…
- Slave rebuild necessary? 3 hours ago, courtuk I have had the side of my clutch off, and I am not sure how I should place this washer that was in the rebuild kit. I didn't have one in there when I took it off: There is rubber in the piston, but…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results 1 hour ago, Ghostrider Nope. I'd taken it to the dyno as I had a horrible flat spot just as the main jet comes on ISTR @ 5,000 revs. Other than a proper clean up and having the carb rubbers sealing properly, the only…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results 27 minutes ago, Ghostrider I made 89.2rwhp on my 97 FV - I was pretty pleased with that. That was after I'd put 92,000 miles on it.... and then left it in a lock-up for 8yrs.... and just got it going again long enough…
- Two Brothers Header Replication! Here it is after assembly, for anyone interested.[image: large.IMG_20170311_195423495.jpg.f645f80c2c5ea6ba9e621a1e7b219825.jpg]
- Two Brothers Header Replication! 27 minutes ago, JZH We're gonna need a sound file on that... Ciao, I've got you covered! I'm going to make a sound clip here soon. Also I'll be using an actual mic, not a phone microphone for all those who like high…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr [image: large.IMG_20170211_120408257_HDR.jpg.8629931e8d92c262af610c3f9146a10a.jpg][image: large.IMG_20170211_120358153.jpg.a933f2aee7c40ddfd4649037110f1f8c.jpg] [image:…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results 2 hours ago, slowbird Yup. OE style filter. Stock plugs. Stock unmodified airbox. Removal of the PAIR or AIS will have no effect on the bikes performance, but it will make the Dyno read the A/F ratios more efficiently.…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results Oh OK I see. Yeah mine is a two Bros carbon fiber, which has been fairly weathered by UV. I tried to polish it up but a lot of the resin is gone. I'm not too worried about it though, if the shortened version has the…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results 3 hours ago, coupedupsubie Shortening the Two Bros can just a couple inches will make it louder. If your can is getting pitted like mine you can get 4" pipe/tube in the right size. I will double check the exact…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results 9 hours ago, slowbird My old 4th gen put down 90 rwhp in stock trim. I have a thread on here but the dyno pic isn't available anymore (thanks Imageshack) though the link for the Youtube vid is. Interesting, OE style…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results Yes I will definitely contact him. I usually go to Nels at 2 Wheel Dynoworks in Redmond. He did wonders for my Aprilia, but that was EFI. Would be nice to go to someone who's about the bike! Also I'm in the middle of…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results Yes safety is key! I have full gear and a chest/back protector I wear under my jacket as well. I went through a field at 45 last year and walked away so I'm always sure to gear up for the worst! Well that's good facts…
- Two Brothers Header Replication! 1 hour ago, sfdownhill Anyone interested in 5 gen or 6 gen headers prototyped based on TBR units and refined with dyno testing can check out the 'Help fund the VFR header' thread on vfrw. User RVFR on that site has…
- Two Brothers Header Replication! I agree. Seems like people are leaning the if Tyga can't do it nobody can way. Which isn't true, but I understand since this is the first time there's been hope for aftermarket performance headers for the VFR in years.…
- Two Brothers Header Replication! 30 minutes ago, 750 Is there a particular reason why Tyga need to be the guys for this work? There's a sh*t tonne of exhaust fabricators out there that could make light work of this. All they'd need is the TBR/a left…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results 3 hours ago, CandyRedRC46 Looking at that AFR, you are really rich. Maybe you need more air box mods (high flow filter and snorkel removal?) or maybe you need to work on the jetting, but your AFR is very rich. The…
- 4th Gen Dyno charts/results So I'm curious, what kind of power is your VFR 750 making? Also what modifications have you done to get there? I have a Two Brothers full system, factory style paper filter, and someone cut a hole in the air box for…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story 4 hours ago, RVFR Well, for what its worth, I have a guy that could fix that header here in Tacamo if you're interested let me know. Ok, just type in Google 4th gen vfr staintune ;) Is that so? You have my attention…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story RVFR, 2/3/2017 at 8:12 PM Wow, what a find, and thanks to you it lives again. That exhaust is worth half or more than what you paid for the VFR. that in it;s self made this way worth the purchase. IMO. Nice. Now to…
- Slave rebuild necessary? 12 hours ago, BusyLittleShop You can test for clutch drag while on the center stand... your gears can't shift smoothly if your clutch is part way engaged... 1 Place your bike on the center stand... 2 Start engine and…
- Slave rebuild necessary? Gotcha thanks. So I removed the slave rechecked for solid piston movement, all good there. So I pulled the rod and found heavy scoring on it, sanded the rod and put it in the other way. After rebleeding we have pressure…
- Slave rebuild necessary? 1 hour ago, SamW To get the cylinder out, remove the slave from the bike and slowly squeeze the master lever until the piston slides out enough to grip. Awesome, thank you good sir!
- Slave rebuild necessary? 1 hour ago, BCmcrider Depending on how you held it, it could have gotten air in it during removal, transportation, installation. It happens on occasion with my trials bike when it does a few rotations crashing down a…
- Slave rebuild necessary? 5 minutes ago, BusyLittleShop Slave on Mr.RC45 lasted from 1994 to 2012 then it was rebuilt... the MT7 part is sourced from the NR750... Lucky guy, probably lasted due to routine maintenance. Unfortunately that's not my…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story 10 minutes ago, Auspanglish Yeah, back to front... The left end where the right end is now... Like pull it out, sand it smooth and put it back the other way round. Oriented in the opposite direction. Not sure how else…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story 7 hours ago, Auspanglish Did you pull the pushrod and check it for roughness or other signs it might be binding? Smooth it down with some wet sandpaper and even put it back inverted. I have not no, I left the pushrod in…
- Slave rebuild necessary? 4 hours ago, Auspanglish De ja vu? I could have sworn I saw this same enquiry in a different thread? This is going to get confusing. Potentially I made a inquiry in another thread I have going about my bike. Figured I'd…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story Yeah I figured as much. I'm not too familiar either so my opinion on such matter doesn't mean a whole lot. I considered doing it for the hell of it earlier but I'm already doing everything else on the bike, might as…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story 17 minutes ago, coupedupsubie I would suggest taking the slave cylinder off and slowly squeezing the handle to check for movement. You can even try squeezing it to try and keep it depressed, should give you an idea of…
- Slave rebuild necessary? I was buying some items from V-FORE and felt his clutch pull on his old bike and it was great. He gave me the master and slave combo and I put it on my bike. There was no pressure or anything once installed. I bled the…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story 11 hours ago, coupedupsubie The front blinkers run an 1157 bulb. You could always do something like these for the rear. http://r.ebay.com/xbGvJU 4 hours ago, slovcan Something like this -…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story 17 hours ago, V-FORE Miles you can buy led bulbs that take the place of regular bulbs at O'rielly that is what I did for the 5th Gen and just buy a led flasher from https://www.superbrightleds.com Problem solved : ) 19…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story Coupedupsubie I might be doing so, I love the tone of the TB exhaust but I do wish it was just a tad bit louder. I'd like to share the lovely exhaust tone with others around me as well 😉
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story 20 hours ago, Terry You will need an in-line resistor for each individual LED indicator, or you can swap out the flasher relay for an LED-specific one and not mess up the messed-up wiring any more. Thanks for the info!…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story 20 hours ago, Terry Welcome, a great write up Miles. But it is hard to go past "Rocket Powered Sponge" for a name! Thanks! I figured I wouldn't skip on details for those who enjoy it. Haha well that name isn't too…
- Bringing her back to life, The JunkenViffer Story I've been contemplating that for some time now. But I'm not sure how many in-line resistors I really want to put in. For now I'm just trying to get it put together for the first time. The fairing fitment is becoming an…
