All 19- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems Yup. Just separate the pipe where it goes into the bottom of the tank, plug the pipe that leads to the canister and run a separate breather pipe from the bottom of the tank to somewhere under the bike. That's all that I…
- Buying advice - 8th gen 6 hours ago, Rectaltronics Not sure if you're trying to make a point about something. But only 334 HP? They lied when they claimed it's the most powerful production bike. The Boss Hoss is 445 HP (and 445 ft-lbs of…
- Buying advice - 8th gen Rectaltronics, 26/10/2017 at 10:56 PM Hi Sparticus , I had to look up "Dukes stage 3". Ugh. Sorry. Glad to see you're still with us. My mother in law just lost a battle and my wife's cousin is putting up a fight . A lot…
- Buying advice - 8th gen I notice this thing doesn't have ABS.... https://pgmv8.com.au/video/
- Buying advice - 8th gen ABS: It's not an option in the UK now, it's a requirement due to our lovely EU friends. Well, I'm 61 now, still riding a bike as a tool to get me to work, not for pleasure. But, it does work. As does Traction Control.…
- One Year Review Vid Eerm. I've just "done" 9,000 in two months...
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems And I may have found another tank, so I need to be sure it's "fixed" before I go that route. I think I'll be looking to remove the thing completely, bit more weight gone?
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems I am suspicious of a faulty canister. It's just getting the time to pull it apart and have a look that I need. And as the bike is running fine with it effectively bypassed, the urgency has moved on somewhat.
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems Might be because the requirement came out in 2016, so 2015 bikes most likely needed it to be installed to allow them to be sold in 2016/17. The VFR 1200 hasn't got Euro 4 for some reason, and cannot be bought new…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems Here it is. Well hidden though. I'll quote from another forum how it works, as far as I can tell if it's a "Euro 4" spec it has this as a finished product... "The EVAP canister has 4 opening in it. One is connected to…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems 9 hours ago, fink Only usa bikes have the carbon cannister. Nope. UK VFR 800F's have them to meet the "Euro 4" emissions standards.
- Tires! I'll be honest here, I absolutely DO NOT trust Bridgestone in the wet. White lines, skip. Manhole covers, skip A puddle, well they slide. I don't know if it's me but the last time I put them on my old Deauville, (O21…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems I'd suggest the dealer should be checking it if I'm honest.
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems Guess mines an Aussie version then now. :cheerleader:
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems Did I just read that right? The Aussie version doesn't have the carbon canister system?
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems Cheers. I think the noise was coming from the Carbon connection. The tank "vent" I put in is simply a plastic piece of hose from my Vacuum gauges, I cut the hose from the canister so it was open to atmosphere, pretty…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems 6 hours ago, Grum Hi Sparticus. It sounds like you have diagnosed a faulty Carbon Cannister. Got the same gastric bubbling sound the other day whist I had my breather tube disconnected investigating this issue. Suspect…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems There's one thing that's missing. If you shake a petrol can full of petrol for a while if it's plastic, it would tend to expand somewhat. Tin ones do as well if left in the sun. By definition. If the "Breather" is…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems Finally... Thanks Skids. I'm already a member but couldn't recall my site name so I've been trolling along trying combinations of emails, passwords, eventually just gave up and started afresh... Mine is one of the…
