All 16- 1998 to 2000 conversion My bike came with Convertibars. Not really sure I like them, but they do get you more upright. There's just barely any room between the tank and nose fairing for you to change the handlebar position, so the convertibars…
- How to secure the underseat toolkit VFR800Fi Here's the parts fiche: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/motorcycle/1998/vfr800fi-a-interceptor/rear-fender Its #5 in the diagram. Could be yours for the low low price of $17.72!
- 5th Gen Model Year Differences See for yourself: https://www.partzilla.com/catalog/honda/motorcycle/1998/vfr800fi-a-interceptor/cylinder-head-front If the part numbers are the same, then its the same exact part. Though if they are different, they may…
- Barn Find - need help please Don't bother paying for the vacuum hoses. Just buy some silicone vacuum tubing on amazon and cut to length. I've done this on both my 800's when I took the throttle bodies off and refreshed everything. I think I paid…
- Bent Front Wheel 5th and 6th gens have 3 piston sliding calipers, but only 2 of them are actuated by the brake lever (middle is actuated by the rear linked system). With cbr600f4/929/954 calipers you get 4 pistons and they are rigidly…
- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA Ziffer, I see you are in Northern Washington. I'm in Portland and go to Seattle semi-regularly to visit family and just removed the headers off a 1998. Just another option if you want to go forward with finding 98-99…
- 5G vs 6G water pump The housing of the one on the left does look ever so slightly larger, though it could be the angle of the camera. Thanks Duc, I think that's about as definitive as I could have hoped for.
- 5G vs 6G water pump I'm curious about this as well. I've "heard" around the forums that they are compatible, but haven't heard anyone say "yes, I put a 6th gen water pump on a 5th gen". It looks like the drawing of the 5th gen water pump…
- Just curious, so when does you riding season typically end I rode to work today. 52 and sunny. Went on a short ride Sunday because it was about 50 and sunny as well. With how much grey overcast rainy weather we get here, you really need to take advantage of the nice winter days…
- Exhaust options for 5th gen Nope, staintune isn't selling 5th gen exhausts any more. They sell an 8th gen exhaust, but all I've heard is rumors that they also fit 5th gens. If the 8th gens do fit, then you have access to the Akrapovic and Two…
- Wheel Spacers Make sure the forks are the same height in the triples. I had a really hard time getting the axle all the way in and it turned out that one fork was 0.5mm higher than the other. The axle went in fairly easily after I…
- Just bought a '98 VFR800 Welcome, better get that riding in before the rain comes here! You may also want to check if you have a stuck thermostat. Mine was stuck open, and as soon as the weather cooled off the bike couldn't stay up to temp when…
- Is this thing too hot? That is fairly normal considering how warm it must be in north Florida. Once it gets over 245 I'd consider shutting it off, but below that the bike is just fine. As someone said in another thread (or forum maybe): if…
- Oh so shiny 2000 $80 sounds like a pretty decent price for a good condition factory seat. I've seen them for less, but not much more than that.
- Charging system performance upgrade If the two fuses are in parallel, then yes, you would want two 15A fuses. If they are actually in series, then you would want to have only one 30A fuse. The water analogy is correct (enough) for current flow, so if you…
- 5th Gen vs 6th Gen VFR800 5th gens were only made for 4 years (1998-2001), but I only saw one 2001 model for sale in the entire Pacific NW this past year. Not sure if that means they tailed off production in 2001 (getting ready for the 6th gen),…
