  1. Electrical gremlin identification 24 Mar 2019 22:48 That is definitely going to happen, VFRness is in, meter is next. FYI: Tourmax are Japanese made spares. I have used their steering head bearings and fork seal kits and I like them. Hopefully the quality of Rec/Reg will…
  2. Electrical gremlin identification 23 Mar 2019 17:56 Here are the promised numbers Battery :12,91V (new) Idle: 14.36V Slow idle with lights: 13.2-13.3V (12.8V at 80° engine temp... All other readings same at 80°C engine temp) 3.5k revs without lights: 14,43V 3k revs with…
  3. Electrical gremlin identification 23 Mar 2019 15:55 Thank you, I completely forgot about "the Drill" article. Did the drill, it pointed towards Rec/Reg. I have consulted this with my mechanic who seconded the thought. I have just installed the new one and will measure…
  4. Electrical gremlin identification 17 Mar 2019 20:23 Hi guys, My VFR has been perfect so far but today it left me stranded for the first time. Situation: I have the VFRness installed. 13.4V at idle is my charging current. I have done about 150kms after winter break.…
  5. Mechanical wizards needed (handlebar conversion) 15 May 2018 18:33 Hi, I found this in a thread somewhere on VFRdiscussion. I cannot however confirm this as a fact as my car had died on me and the conversion money went somewhere else. Give me a week or two to earn some money for the…
  6. non start, no spark 11 May 2018 06:41 Hi, I don't know about the mechanical side of things but do you have your kill switch in correct position? ☺️ *EDIT* Ok, this is NOT an option if the fuel pump primes, sorry, missed that. Edited May 11, 2018 by…
  7. Rebuilding my '91. The journey begins. 7 May 2018 08:34 Great story and great bike. I am really looking forward to more posts/ pictures from you. Wish you good luck and a big discount on variety of cleaning products in your area 😀
  8. Mechanical wizards needed (handlebar conversion) 2 May 2018 14:45 hellindustries, 4/30/2018 at 8:24 PM The EBC pads are some of the best you can get for the bike for road use. Few days ago I found out that VFR 800 5th gen pads should be sintered from factory... Soooo I am not going to…
  9. Mechanical wizards needed (handlebar conversion) 30 Apr 2018 13:12 27 minutes ago, KevCarver That would be good. I searched site which sells OEM parts and the part numbers are different. Same number of pistons but the construction is slightly different. So no good news, unfortunatelly.…
  10. Mechanical wizards needed (handlebar conversion) 30 Apr 2018 06:55 KevCarver, 4/26/2018 at 8:25 PM Varadero linked brakes Just FYI. I asked my friend about the brakes and they seem to be exactly the same. At least in setup and the way they work. He doesn't know about pistons etc. Still…
  11. Mechanical wizards needed (handlebar conversion) 30 Apr 2018 06:45 16 hours ago, hellindustries . In order of most needed first. One at a time. I designed a full schedule during the time I was chatting with Kevcarver 😁 16 hours ago, hellindustries If you can confidently do it yourself…
  12. Mechanical wizards needed (handlebar conversion) 30 Apr 2018 05:47 KevCarver, 4/27/2018 at 11:41 PM I wouldn't be worried Ok KevCarver, thanks. I'll try it out when there is time to get the bike apart.
  13. Mechanical wizards needed (handlebar conversion) 27 Apr 2018 13:49 3 hours ago, KevCarver I'm just telling you w hat I would do. That's why I'm asking and thanking you again. I needed a little push to do the calipers. ☺️ Regarding the condition of the bike....Bought it few months ago…
  14. Mechanical wizards needed (handlebar conversion) 27 Apr 2018 07:21 12 hours ago, KevCarver needs to be "worked" when bleeding Is it the part that pushes in when I start breaking the front and activates the rear brake? 12 hours ago, KevCarver Wouldn't hurt to bring along the service…
  15. Mechanical wizards needed (handlebar conversion) 26 Apr 2018 12:34 Hi VFR owners and enthusiasts, will you please help me with my dilemma? I saved up some money to put into my VFR (Fi 01) and I have bought a few upgrades for it (future birthday gifts, you know). I wanted bars and stuff…
  16. Loads and loads 9 Mar 2018 08:22 12 hours ago, Terry I should start out by stating that I don't have filament bulbs in my 99 5G (all LED), I do have the original wiring, and the RR is not original (part code suggests it came from a Ducati) and my…
  17. Loads and loads 9 Mar 2018 08:13 7 hours ago, Auspanglish You forgot bike running at 5000 rpm with hi beams on. I remember 14,3 V at 4000 rpm. (I have done the whole "Drill" with no issues whatsoever) I just wanted to know how low on volts I cen get…
  18. Loads and loads 8 Mar 2018 15:47 Hi everyone, I've just installed the VFRness on my dear 2001. The voltage is very nice and stable now (Thank you again Tightwad!) but that is not the point of this thread. I am really curious about your numbers while…
  19. New VFR ideas 11 Feb 2018 19:37 Btw : i did the bearing check when I was buying the motorcycle and of course the bearings were shot :-) Thanks for the recommendation of All balls tapered bearings I will definitely buy them. They are next on my naughty…
  20. New VFR ideas 11 Feb 2018 19:26 Fortunately it was the first case. MaxSwell should get a medal. There are two long bolts and one short. I didn't even suspect that one of the bolts would be longer by a few threads. Well it is... VFR now has fresh oil,…
  21. New VFR ideas 10 Feb 2018 22:03 Hi again, I started working on the bike today. So far I have taken down the fairaings, finished " the drill" (all good except the idle volts are higher than mentioned in "the drill". Is it going to be ok?). I have spent…
  22. New VFR ideas 10 Feb 2018 09:31 16 hours ago, adkfinn Honda branded will be a safe bet. https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/15410-MFJ-D01?ref=3df7684fa1d86c590364bdadaf9eb276024162eb I have used the HiFloFiltro filters and think they are good…
  23. New VFR ideas 9 Feb 2018 15:17 21 hours ago, adkfinn Keep that K&N junk away from your lovely motorcycle... especially the oil filters! K&N - Strong marketing, weak filtration :491:…
  24. New VFR ideas 8 Feb 2018 10:00 I have promised some photos so here they are. btw: I know that is NOT an Akrapovic can. It is Viper (UK version) and the sticker had been put there by previous owner (and it looks kinda cool so I´ll keep it that way ) .…
  25. New VFR ideas 8 Feb 2018 09:56 Hi everybody. Thank you for the suggesions. I have found "The Drill" thread and will do it over the weekend along with oil + filter change and chain clean up lubrication. Next comes the VFRness which should be on its…
  26. New VFR ideas 1 Feb 2018 14:58 GreginDenver, ‎29‎. ‎1‎. ‎2018 at 11:59 PM Here's what I did to both of my 5th Gens when I got them: http://vfrworld.com/threads/refurbishing-my-99-5th-gen.52488/ I got the '99 5th Gen in December of 2016, it was the…
  27. New VFR ideas 29 Jan 2018 20:26 14 hours ago, GreginDenver That's a good list of preventive maintenance items, I guess. My recent experience with two low-miles 5th Gen bikes was that the long-term maintenance items hadn't been done either, things like…
  28. New VFR ideas 29 Jan 2018 20:16 16 hours ago, gig Congrats. How many miles, pics? Thank you. Around 33K miles and everything seems to be OK. From the technical point of view. I just want to do all the maintenance so that I know that I´ve started the…
  29. New VFR ideas 28 Jan 2018 22:45 Hi everyone, I've just got my first VFR 800 5 gen., model year 2001. The bike has exhaust done by previous owner but otherwise is stock and in good condition. After the first preventive maintenance (oil,coolant,…
