Last 50 of 526- Am I crazy? - 1985 VF 700F Lots of theories came up over years to explain cam issues. Bottom line was cam-housing wasn't line-bored with caps machines separately. This caused alignment issues and bearing-clearances that were way too large.…
- Am I crazy? - 1985 VF 700F Make sure you check it over for chocolate cams before even starting. Not worth effort if engine's dead.
- Kenda KM1 - $153 Tire Set 19 hours ago, vfrgiving You're talking more about the fact it's squaring off? I haven't noticed any significant difference over past tires I've ran. They all get flat in the middle. I don't get to commute to work on US…
- Kenda KM1 - $153 Tire Set 1 hour ago, VeeEffArah It's because of the extra forces and weight on the left side when you ride with your left hand on your hip.... taken from the "gixder forums".... 🤪 I find it difficult to ride with right hand on…
- Hello from SF Bay - new(ish) to bikes coming from cars Greetings & Salutations!!! 👋 I really do miss all the good rides in S.F. Bay Area! Have you taken ride out to Pt. Reyes Lighthouse yet? Going down to Santa Cruz on Skyline is also awesome. Don't forget Black Rd. and…
- Kenda KM1 - $153 Tire Set Heh, heh... I'll try out set at my preferred pressures. Have gone through at least 50 sets of tyres on this bike. Thanks for the find! 🙂
- Kenda KM1 - $153 Tire Set 1 hour ago, vfrgiving The Honda sticker pressures 36 - 42. These are even cheaper now, Motosport has the 120/70, 180/55 complete set for $136 😲 Ugh, that's corporate CYA pressure for max GVWR at continuous top-speed of…
- Kenda KM1 - $153 Tire Set What kind of pressures are you running?
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 2 hours ago, VicSev93 2 hours ago, VicSev93 Hey! So I did the Map sensor voltage output. And I think I have a problem. Let me just explain how I did everything. So first I checked for volts. To find the constant 5v…
- 86 VFR700F Retool or therapy or both You need some of these footpegs: https://www.scar-racing.com/en/products/456-titanium-footpegs.html
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) Ok, no 5-way joint on your bike. Use this vacuum-gauge to measure vacuum going to MAP sensor. Use T-fitting to tap into hose in-line with MAP sensor. It's primary sensor that ECU uses to calculate air-flow volume to…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) Measure vacuum in 5-way T that goes to MAP-sensor at idle and 3000rpms. Measure MAP-sensor voltage output at idle and 3000rpms. 4 numbers total.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Ah yes, need to keep ID clear.
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA gropula, 4/27/2023 at 2:39 AM Regarding the gaskets that go between the primaries and the cylinder head - delkevic is out of stock again. I tried finding an alternative. These will fit with some grinding EBAY LINK .…
- Kenda KM1 - $153 Tire Set Wow, that's pretty darn good wear for 3000 miles!🙂 Will probably make it to 10k, eh?
- Regulator / Rectifier Upgrade (SH847) It should be fine. You've got tinned-wiring that's corrosion resistant. And nice seal with adhesive heat-shrink. Only issue would be max-power rating across that connection. But SH847 only transmits as much as needed,…
- Regulator / Rectifier Upgrade (SH847) Here's example of brand-new crimped connectors that burned up as well. [image: uc?export=download&id=1TfhiZ7Cs0DmFDF20G] Other than being new, it is not an improvement over Honda's selection of bare-brass uncoated…
- Regulator / Rectifier Upgrade (SH847) Orange combines multiple ground-wires for different circuits together. Corrosions here can cause ground-loops where each circuit may have different voltage drops from batt +pos. Results in a 3rd circuit that flows the…
- Regulator / Rectifier Upgrade (SH847) Thanks for write-up! Did you happen to measure temp of old RR? Try touching this RR after a ride. 🙂
- Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul - Alternative Piston Removal Methods? Squirt PB-blaster to loosen up any corrosion in piston. Alternately push in & out. Use C-clamp to squeeze in. Then push out with pedal. Then repeat back & forth.
- Are Balance Beads a thing? They are around and they do work. I don't like the second or two after hitting bump dislodges them and wheel has to re-balance and reach equilibrium again.
- 86 VFR700F Retool or therapy or both No need to swiss-cheese, just have open-space at ends to expose internal volume. The caps on yours is so spacer actually stops spring instead of dropping into centre and doing nothing (because pipe chosen was too small…
- Ultrasonic Cleaner Solution I've had good luck with Totally Awesome multipurpose cleaner. Works great in steam-cleaner for carpeting. Great on grime underneath auto-bumper. Dilute according to instructions, 1:10 or some such. Whatever you do, DO…
- Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul - Alternative Piston Removal Methods? 7 hours ago, bmart How much do you enjoy being covered by brake fluid? Ask the other things nearby the same. Brake fluid doesn't come gushing out with explosive force! Watch the piston as you squeeze. As soon as piston…
- Rear Brake Caliper Overhaul - Alternative Piston Removal Methods? What's wrong with using brake-fluid pressure to push piston out rest of way? As soon as piston clears end of bore, all pressure is released and it stops moving. Because fluid isn't compressed and there's little…
- 5th Gen Center Stand Install Amount wheel moves is only 1/2 change in links distance. Adding 2 links to chain lengthens it 32mm and moves wheel back 16mm.
- Fuel Pump Removal Struggle Bus acetone or adhesive remover (xylene). Also Goo-off
- Battery leads - Gen 6 Let's see photo of this broken wire and where it attaches.
- Anyone know anything about what's happened to the world, VFRworld that is. 3 hours ago, bmart This happens to most groups at some point in time. It happened to the FJ group. Guys got old and developed EOG. Then it moved to another location (another forum from e-mail). As we all know, there is…
- Clicking Starting Relay Yeah, how rude!!!
- Clicking Starting Relay Clicking relay is typically sign of insufficient battery power Also when jumpstarting, make sure it's from know-good battery. Verify battery can start car it's in. But leave car off when jumping bike. Also wiggle jumper…
- Look Who's Back, 3rd Gen VFR in Bakersfield for $600 Anyone take screenshot of ad?
- Main fuse B replacement? Factory ATC/ATO fuses max out at 30a and you have issues well below that due to bare brass terminals and corrosion. I prefer to upgrade to 30a MIDI fuses (all parts rated much higher) with coated connectors entire way.…
- Tires, how old is "old" hahahha!!! I remember having to read that book at school in 1982! Anyone seen "Boxhead Revolution" ?
- Tires, how old is "old" from personal history, tyres go off when they start cracking. This can be 3-yrs old or 13-yrs old. Actual condition based upon storage and usage is more predictive than age. My commuter bike had original 2008 BT-45s on…
- CHP officers 'helping' a motorcyclist to comply when he peacefully stops after a pursuit How boring.... Now here's a REAL motorcycle cop chase!!! [video: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/q7yfFD75ztE?feature=oembed]

- Security bolt install tool ? Bastard!!! Hope he contracts tetanus and has slow horrible painful recovery!!!
- Security bolt install tool ? 23 hours ago, Gotama Really well that’s what they tried to do [image: CDAA7F70-5C35-46EF-9939-A755155EBFB2.jpeg] What did they try? Looks like trying to jimmy igntion-switch with screwdriver? With or without security…
- 84 vf500f carb Do you have piece that broke off? Perhaps you can cut piece to match from alloy tubiing. Then braze together with https://www.alumiweld.com Stuff is amazing! I've rejoined broken alternator ears with it for permanent…
- 2014 VFR800 Front Wheel removal Seems like this is perfect application for belleville or Nord-lock washer.
- 2014 VFR800 Front Wheel removal Be careful about replacing steel directly with Ti in high-load structural applications. While yield and ultimate-strength of grade-9 3al/2.5v Ti is similar to 4130 chromoly steel, Ti has only 1/2 the rigidity (young's…
- 2014 VFR800 Front Wheel removal Don't use tap, thread-chaser better for cleaning existing threads. Most of load is carried on skin of bolt. Equation for torsional rigidity is 4th-power. So tiny increase in diameter increases strength tremendously.…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod Note that O2-eliminators don't replace O2-sensor or its signal. It connects heater circuit in O2 circuit to trick ECU into thinking it's still connected. Signal-circuit is completely disconnected with zero signal and…
- Anyone know what these are for Plugs drilling holes???
- 1992 VFR750F Followed me home... on my trailer. Yeah! Red looks much better than original blue!
- $400 1990 VFR750F Those terminals are zinc coated, which are OK. Corrosion is actually from uncoated wires. Personally, I always use silicone pre-tinned wires. What you can do in this case is remove corrosion with Deoxit spray. Then…
