All 24- Cam Pulse Connector we'll never know.......
- Dash LCD display gone blank Just a thought. When you said you looked it over, how close did you look? It may take a magnifying glass to see tiny splits in the tracks which could be enough to break the connection. If you use a meter to test each…
- just picked up a '99 model - now what? All of the above plus........... Remove all the plastics and inspect all the connections in the wiring loom. check the earth block, big red wire coming from the main 30A fuse, look for spliced in zombie wiring and see…
- Yes I'm doing fork service myself. Yes I got stuck, help separating them? It does take a bit of effort. I assume you have the allen blot from the bottom of the slider removed first because they aren't going anywhere if it's still in place. Having done that (and they tend to be a pain because…
- adkfinn's 5th gen 20yr refresh What a great piece of work. Inspirational indeed. So nice to see another well looked-after VFR
- non start, no spark well done for sticking with it
- non start, no spark Bikers Oracle https://vfr.bikersoracle.com/index.php There are some knowledgeable people on there and some good historical information, but I get the impression only a few now own a VFR so it's not as engaging as here.…
- non start, no spark Pleased to hear you've got it working. There are few things worse than having that 'totally stumped' feeling, but this forum is always a great place to turn to for advice. The UK forum (if it's the one I'm thinking of)…
- adkfinn's 5th gen 20yr refresh Stray, 6/12/2018 at 3:02 PM Why not blast and powdercoat the hoses you’ve got? I took mine to the sandblasted and sprayed them black. Look like new! That's a good idea. I suppose it depends on what 'look' you're going…
- adkfinn's 5th gen 20yr refresh 13 hours ago, adkfinn Thoughts and questions - Will the full oil cooler and lines from the 6th gen fit right up to the 5th Gen? This seems like it might be the way to go... snag an extra row of cooling capacity and…
- adkfinn's 5th gen 20yr refresh 12 hours ago, adkfinn Happy to share some more details: Many thanks indeed for the comprehensive reply.
- adkfinn's 5th gen 20yr refresh I'm really interested in your cleaning materials though. I have a spare engine that I bought for taking to bits and practicing valve clearance checks etc, and the casings are really grimy. I've used all sorts of things…
- adkfinn's 5th gen 20yr refresh The oil cooler pipes may be a problem and a replacement would have to be fabricated to fit both the sump and the oil cooler. Mine were absolutely shot to pieces - they were originally chromed and it had flaked off…
- adkfinn's 5th gen 20yr refresh excellent stuff and inspiring too.
- Dead 5th Get It should say "5th Gen" of course, sorry.
- Dead 5th Get Please send him a message of you can help! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwQoc46Ok8SGRMeOpV6SG2g
- Dead 5th Get Hi, could someone please throw this guy a bone. I've been watching his YouTube content and he's doing a great job, but his VFR has died. It's a mercy call. Please see link below: [video:…
- Much to be Gained from Power Commander? Auspanglish, 25/03/2018 at 12:49 PM Probably the rubber boot / dust cover No, I think he's referring to the small plastic panel under the lights which I think normally houses the air temp sensor (it does on the 6th gen)…
- Faulty Speedometer 21 hours ago, MaxSwell It turned out that the former owner had installed an aftermarket drive sprocket, which was thinner than oem. I do wish people would leave things alone.
- Much to be Gained from Power Commander? You definitely won't need a Power Commander for that bike. Yellow is the fastest colour and there's nothing you can do to improve it.
- Powder Coating Exhaust Shields? Why not contact a powder coating specialist and ask them?
- New VFR ideas SportTouringCZ, 28/01/2018 at 10:45 PM but otherwise is stock and in good condition. Why not just service it and leave it as is?
- Left-hand turns are more difficult My own experiences tell me that relaxation is often the barrier between a good turn and a bad turn. Tensing up arms and keeping rigid make for poor control all round in my case, and I was told many years ago that…
- I could not ride today because ... Feeble excuse, but.... [image: DSC_0475.JPG]
