  1. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 2 Jun 2017 16:57 New tires and valve stems are on! This project is getting a little expensive. Still debating what to do for fairings. Fit mine or replace. Gen 5 kits are easy to come by. How close is the gen 5 kit to the gen 3? I see…
  2. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 30 May 2017 03:18 Found out the tail plastic on the cbr I bought is from an 03-07 R6. [image: 3bbf9c2a10aa1a1f60dc0ea0fdf6cf15.jpg]

  4. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 27 May 2017 03:34 Picked up this 94 cbr900rr roller for parts. The tail on this has already been modified and I think the plastics are not for this year CBR. It looks like the 929 tail but with an undertail kit. It came with both seats…
  5. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 24 May 2017 13:51 Dutchy The fuel pump relay should be there any day now. It just came and is already installed. Works like a charm!
  6. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 24 May 2017 11:34 Dutchy The fuel pump relay should be there any day now. I've been keeping an eye out for it. Thanks for the update. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  7. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 23 May 2017 17:13 No more stickers! I'll paint the tank after I do some repairs on the fairing and assemble some form of a paint booth. That may take awhile. [image: 0da58b7b4dedb513354b7d387d9abbdd.jpg]
  8. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 22 May 2017 23:36 mcrwt644 put that thing in the sun and do it a favor and peel those hideous stickers off with your finger nails....lol Haha I'm working on it. Believe it or not there were a lot more stickers I already took off!
  9. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 21 May 2017 02:53 Any suggestions on where to get the quick release blots for the side fairings? I need a few other misc fairing bolts. I saw a kit pretty cheap but they replace the quick turns with nuts and bolts, I'd rather have the…
  10. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 21 May 2017 00:56 Went for a short spin around the block. It's running great! Pulls hard shifts smooth. Here's a few pics with the fairings on. They are in rough shape but they work. I'll probably paint the tank white but it doesn't look…
  11. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 20 May 2017 22:29 It's alive!!!! Little bit of white smoke and I think I saw a drop of oil. Probably still needs some work but after the new carb seals there's no more gas leak. Might even get through inspection.
  12. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 18 May 2017 19:20 Can't believe it. I just heard it start and run for a few seconds after swapping the rectifier. Only had a small amount of fuel in the bowls so I think it will run after I button up the last bits. Sent from my SM-G900V…
  13. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 15 May 2017 11:50 Dutchy PM me your adress and I will send you redslut's; one of the very few parts left of her. :-) Thank you! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  14. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 15 May 2017 00:24 Thanks@Dutchy I jumped the wrong wire. Jumping blue to blue/black worked. I do have continued between the spark unit and red wire so the fuel cut relay is bad. Question can I just wire a standard relay in or do I really…
  15. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 14 May 2017 18:46 Ran a wire from the battery to the fuel pump and it works but it seems too loud to me. Is it supposed to click, click, click like that. I had the fuel end running to a bucket so maybe it was just trying to build…
  16. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 12 May 2017 20:28 I was hoping to get it started today but it didn't happen. I'm not getting fuel through the fuel pump. I'm suspicious of this fuel cut relay. I have power on 2 wires with the key and ignition on, at the relay but no…
  17. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 9 May 2017 22:01 First coat of primer is on the tank. I think I did pretty good fixing all the dents and dings. Using black primer but it will be white before it's done. [image: 67d63ffe0e8b9b27dd1f40428a2cb2bd.jpg]
  18. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 9 May 2017 16:42 New starter solenoid came in and after installing it I just hear the engine turn over with the starter button happy day! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  19. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 4 May 2017 23:32 Carbs and airbox back on. Man that was a pain to do. Getting those carbs seated in the boots is pretty horrible. Also put in new spark plugs. Those front ones aren't much fun either. Front right plug looked new so I'm…
  20. My RC30 1 May 2017 13:26 MaxSwell Cool as a glacier. The perpetual child in me would love to have one of those. Do you need a really smooth surface to run on or does it handle rough tarmac? Any suspension? I used to play with it at a basketball…
  21. My RC30 1 May 2017 12:39 RDMcD Where's the single sided swing arm? Do you have to counter steer??? It has a battery pack in the belly pan tha moves from side to side causing the bike to lean for steering. Unfortunately it takes pretty wide…
  22. My RC30 1 May 2017 01:26 Falco1UK Tres cool, have the same model and some spares. Slightly different colour scheme though. [image: 59068c63d7d83_VFR750R-01.thumb.jpg.6eea7140f43de5035cbded6b9f8d4edf.jpg] [image:…

  24. My RC30 30 Apr 2017 16:56 A little off topic but I've had this for 25 years. Pretty cool! [image: 2c663ce74d25b94446650ec655f306ab.jpg] [image: 0f912d6300e5d0c4459a192c38f5884f.jpg] [image: d3137c3d42ebe580aa451b6cee987af2.jpg]
  25. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 30 Apr 2017 16:23 My clutch is working! After rebuilding my original clutch mc it pumped up and is finally working! So after a lot of trouble and rebuilding both the mc and slave I finally have a clutch again. This means once it's…
  26. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 22 Apr 2017 13:36 JZH Clutch m/cs are very annoying to bleed when you're starting from dry. Brake m/cs are a lot easier. Are you sure you've not given up too early? Ciao, I don't think so but I've never done a hydraulic clutch before.…
  27. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 21 Apr 2017 20:56 Still no pressure in the clutch after rebuilding the slave. Time to order an mc rebuild kit. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  28. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 20 Apr 2017 01:05 Still no clutch after installing the used clutch mc. Decided to rebuild the slave cylinder. It was a mess. Had to use the air compressor to pop the piston out. Ordered​ a k&l rebuild kit. Hopefully that will do it. Sent…
  29. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 13 Apr 2017 13:31 750 They can be so very pretty in standard fairing form... Great looking bike. I didn't actually take the airbox to carb plate off. The previous owner did and never put it back together. I think that's the real reason…
  30. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 12 Apr 2017 13:24 Spoke with Airtech yesterday. They want me to take some measurements and will compare to some of their fairings to provide options. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  31. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 12 Apr 2017 13:23 Lordy Nice one!!, I picked up one exactly the same in red; same condition carbs looked exactly the same clutch MC looked identical to yours. after having to order the T junction on the carbs from Japan which took 4+…
  32. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 9 Apr 2017 21:59 Decided to work on the cb750 today instead. Pulled the engine using this new lift I got at harbor freight, this thing is awesome! Getting a big bore kit installed. Soon to be cb823. Back to work on the vfr after…
  33. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 8 Apr 2017 23:11 Screwed up and ordered a brake mc instead of the clutch. Tried using mine but no matter how many time I try to bleed the line using a vacuum pump there is always air in it. I have the clutch mc on the way, anyone need a…
  34. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 5 Apr 2017 18:06 JZH They were done by hand, but at the factory. Ciao, Thanks! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
  35. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 4 Apr 2017 18:17 Thanks​ for all the support guys. Can anyone compare this pic to their gen 3? My buddy says these welds look hand done like someone repaired a crack. [image: bf12ce222344cf528700b8a5b00c23dd.jpg]
  36. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 3 Apr 2017 04:32 Here are a few pics from today. Nasty Clutch MC [image: 43dc6899a58f562ad6b24edeb2f85664.jpg] Carbs weren't terrible but had grit in them and a little oxidation. I've seen a lot worse. I broke the down and cleaned them…
  37. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 2 Apr 2017 19:26 More testing done. Stator had continuity on all 3 wires. Not too sure about the rectifier. My meter was giving me numbers that matched the shop manual. I got numbers between 030 and 570. The manual say .5 and 10. I…

  39. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 2 Apr 2017 16:51 Rice Welcome aboard. Did it come with a clean title? The engine - open the cap on the clutch cover, make sure its in neutral, spray cylinders through the spark holes and try to turn with a wrench. It could be a fun…
  40. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 2 Apr 2017 16:51 Quick update it does have the insulator bands I just didn't know where to look. I pulled the carbs and am cleaning them now. There was a fair amount of dirt and grit in there. I also pulled the clutch mc and found it…
  41. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 2 Apr 2017 13:54 What's up everyone! I just picked up a 93 vfr750f with 18k miles for $700 bucks. The owner misrepresented it a good bit. Clutch is not engaging, engine won't turn over (I put in in 2nd and tried to rotate it from the…
