  1. Issue w/ Throttle Cables, Helibars 30 Jan 2018 16:44 I have a Helibars installed on my 2000, but have had some wrist issues/soreness that I think I could recifiy by adjusting the bars/sweep a bit. Problem is, I can only adjust them so far (not far enough) before the lower…
  2. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 30 Sep 2017 01:29 Hey all. Been a while since I’ve chimes in. Just wanted to confirm that I’m officially still interested in ordering one unit for my 5th Gen. cheers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  4. Anybody Use a Nitron rear shock? 27 Apr 2017 01:23 Agreed. Just bought this setup last month. Very happy with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. New to me 5th gen and maintenance 12 Apr 2017 20:28 8 hours ago, meadeball Lack of resistance in the FI light system usually causes the light to be on constantly. You can see how when you prime the fuel pump, it will go from bright to less bright after the system is…
  6. New to me 5th gen and maintenance 12 Apr 2017 08:09 4 hours ago, meadeball I installed LEDs in the gauge cluster (except the FI light), turn signals, and brake lights because they provide so much more light and use less power. Why not the FI light? Curious. And welcome!
  7. Wolf Exhaust Issue: 4-into-1-into-2 5 Apr 2017 00:07 Sweeper I don't have a Wolf system. If Corner Carver doesn't chime in here, send him a PM. He has a Wolf on his 5th gen. Thanks. Will do a search for him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Wolf Exhaust Issue: 4-into-1-into-2 4 Apr 2017 23:11 Sorry in advance is this is such a NOOB question, but after buy a donor bike specifically to salvage a Wolf system, I'm now getting to know the good and bad of having pipes under the tail of my low-mileage 5th gen.…
  9. 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build 25 Mar 2017 20:38 +1 for me as well. Should be performance based and work with majority of slip on options straight away. Though I have a Wolf and have yet to even consider what that will mean yet. Will go measure today/tomorrow. Sent…

  11. WTF is my fuel issue post PAIR mod? 23 Mar 2017 19:05 Thanks @max. Adjusted it yesterday. [image: emoji1360.png] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. WTF is my fuel issue post PAIR mod? 22 Mar 2017 18:35 Thanks again everyone! After I learned how to read the code last night, I was able to quickly locate the issue which was a small hose I failed to re-connect into the bottom of the MAP sensor. So now my PAIR system is…
  13. WTF is my fuel issue post PAIR mod? 22 Mar 2017 01:37 Terry I left the vacuum hose off for the MAP sensor once and the bike told me pretty quickly via lame running and the FI light morse code. Im almost certain this is the issue. Caught the FI light flashing 2 on its own…
  14. WTF is my fuel issue post PAIR mod? 22 Mar 2017 00:09 From another thread I found: So what we want to do is to disable the PAIR valve altogether and the easiest way to do exactly this is to remove the cable controlling it! If you look on the right side of the bike under…
  15. WTF is my fuel issue post PAIR mod? 22 Mar 2017 00:08 Just went back through the instructions I was following from THIS VFRW Thread. There is still one specific step that I'm still unsure about. Step 26 says: Remove the bolts from the left faring, enough to remove the PAIR…
  16. WTF is my fuel issue post PAIR mod? 21 Mar 2017 23:25 7 minutes ago, CandyRedRC46 Maybe you pinched a fuel line, vacuum line or tank vent? So doesn't sound like leaky valve block-off to you then? I guess that's positive.
  17. WTF is my fuel issue post PAIR mod? 21 Mar 2017 23:20 NO! Was hoping that this would be easy to pin point. Guess it's back in the garage to pull the tank and airbox, etc.
  18. WTF is my fuel issue post PAIR mod? 21 Mar 2017 22:55 Just buttoned up my 5th gen after doing the PAIR/snorkel/flapper mods. I used block-off plates manufactured by MelloDude and torqued them onto the red/orange seal that was originally around the reed valve. After…
  19. San Diego 98 vfr800 restoration 19 Mar 2017 22:11 dozyproductions I looked up 98 vfr800 heli bars on their site and they don't look like mine. Can anyone confirm that I do indeed have heli bars? [image: xp8nza.jpg] Looks like Helibars to me. My right bar had Helibar…
  20. Lowered Pegs, Now How Do You Adjust The Rear Brake Pedal? 4 Mar 2017 22:40 So I thought on Cogswell's post and decided to get it done to his spec minus the drill press because I couldn't stabilize the stand as well as I could in a vice. Worked out great and no clearance issues with shifting or…
  21. Lowered Pegs, Now How Do You Adjust The Rear Brake Pedal? 3 Mar 2017 21:05 Thanks Cogswell! Any chance you have an image or two of your finished work? Will get on this asap.
  22. Lowered Pegs, Now How Do You Adjust The Rear Brake Pedal? 3 Mar 2017 19:16 Sorry to revive the thread but I've just installed the Knight Design kit as well and lowered the shifter pedal to compensate. Only issue is that side stand obstructs my foot a bit when attempting to shift. Any ideas to…
