All 39- I want to do a custom dash. Anyone done this? I would like to do a custom dash. I would like it to have: 1. RPM gauge - about half the size of stock. 2. water temp. 3. Speedometer if possible or a gps that has a large speedo option on the screen. 4. Monitor to use…
- Help me decide.....sell the VFR I can get a 2006 VFR with about 2000 in addons more than my VFR plus a 2006 vs my 2005. It has a few thousand more miles though....here is the add. It's equipped with: Convertibars with Vibration Killer bar ends Two…
- Honda vs police helicopter! VFR4Lee, 5/26/2018 at 6:14 PM Staged. I don't think it is staged. It was clearly a police helicopter because of how low it came to the ground. I thought it was funny, but then I love the Three Stooges and the Marx…
- Honda vs police helicopter! I found this funny video today. Some of you may have seen it. It is really worth watching. [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/Fbpv5TIVKg8?feature=oembed]
- Pro evo shift kit? 7 minutes ago, FJ12Ryder If you don't get enough travel you'll find your shifting harder, and "clunkier" when shifting slowly. IMO the clutch should engage as far from the handlebar as possible, but not so far that it…
- Pro evo shift kit? 2 hours ago, FJ12Ryder "pulling past the friction zone"? What does that mean? I have my clutch set so it is fully engaged as far from the handlebars as possible. The more lever travel, the more clutch plate travel, the…
- Pro evo shift kit? 9 hours ago, otmaximus Joel, Regarding the clunk into 1st gear, I find if I rock the bike forward a bit, really just a few inches, and then click it into 1st, the clunking is reduced. I read somewhere that its the…
- Pro evo shift kit? 10 hours ago, FJ12Ryder Seriously?! Yeah, actually I don't even want to talk about oil anymore on this site. It brings out the ugly in people. I am sure that I will get better shifting in time. I am consciously thinking…
- Pro evo shift kit? 17 hours ago, Grum Assume you also cleaned the clutch Master Cylinder and bled the clutch system? yes, I cleaned it and bleed it until It was clear and then pumped the handle until all the microscopic bubbles stopped…
- Pro evo shift kit? 2 hours ago, boOZZIE +1 Syn PAO ester I put penrite 5w-40 Syn PAO ester in the cbr1k and gear changes are smoooooth It should for 75 bucks a gallon. Joel
- Pro evo shift kit? 46 minutes ago, HighSideNZ I've got a Sigma slipper clutch in mine, as well as the shift kit and both are great. I do not believe either are going to help with the clunky shift. Oil is the main culprit to this. If it…
- Pro evo shift kit? 2 hours ago, FJ12Ryder Hope I didn't sound harsh, wasn't meant that way. Sometimes you can try too hard to make everything perfect. 🙂 No I didn't take it that way. I get a little OCD when I get into things. I am using…
- Pro evo shift kit? 2 hours ago, FJ12Ryder There's an old saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Thanks......point taken. Joel
- Pro evo shift kit? I am not working right now and I like to work on the bike. I don't see the harm in opening up the clutch and seeing what I find. I have a caliper to measure and compare with the clutch specs in the manual. I will do the…
- Pro evo shift kit? Ok, I figured out why I have so much trouble with clunking. User error. I was pulling in the clutch all the way. Now I only pull it in half way. I am also waiting longer to shift. More like at 5k and above. I still suck…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? I put on new EBC HH brake pads on my 05 vfr800. Took a whopping 30 minutes by the time I was done cleaning up. I would have changed the sprockets and chain today too but Motosport sent me a front sprocket and chain and…
- Pro evo shift kit? 47 minutes ago, FJ12Ryder I'd have to agree with this, my '99 shifts fine with no false neutrals or hard shifting. Clutch is really not needed most of the time, although I do use it most of the time, but it's pretty…
- Pro evo shift kit? Is the 2-3 hours install the site claims accurate? Are there any parts that will jump out when I unbutton it? I always worry about a washer or spring or something popping out as I remove a cover or something and me not…
- Pro evo shift kit? Anyone have a Pro Evo Shift Kit? Here is the link...I think I have gotten about as good at shifting as I am gonna get and my bike still clunks too much for me. I have to accelerate fast with a perfect blip to the…
- linked brake system bleed instructions 19 hours ago, FJ12Ryder Reverse bleeding may work very well...if you can get the bleed screws to seal so you don't just leak fluid around the threads. I've had no luck using a MityVac to pressure/vacuum bleed a system.…
- linked brake system bleed instructions I read the manual over and over again and feel as though I have a handle on how to do it. I will wrap the threads with nylon tape to get a better seal to aid in air leak prevention. I am going to reverse bleed a few of…
- linked brake system bleed instructions I found these directions in a Honda cbr forum with interlinked brakes. I have adhered to the bleeding sequence Front right caliper upper bleed screw, front hand brake lever/master cyl Front left caliper upper bleed…
- linked brake system bleed instructions 57 minutes ago, FJ12Ryder Reverse bleeding may work very well...if you can get the bleed screws to seal so you don't just leak fluid around the threads. I've had no luck using a MityVac to pressure/vacuum bleed a…
- linked brake system bleed instructions I was thinking about getting a 150cc syringe and putting tubing on it with a c clamp and the other end on the bleeder valve and going the reverse direction with it.....Other posts say reversing the direction is nice…
- linked brake system bleed instructions 13 minutes ago, Rice You don't really need a pump for this. I tried using one, but ended up doing it the old way - Pump, hold, release... So there is a valve under the seat near the battery? Is the servo proportional…
- linked brake system bleed instructions Never mind.....I see the detailed instructions.....I am just going to cave in a buy a bleed pump........ 1. Now got any links to a good hand pump operated bleeder so I just don't go and buy any old one off of Amazon…
- linked brake system bleed instructions VFR is a linked braking system. So how does one flush the line between the front left wheel master cylinder and the rear brake? The manual assumes that I have a pump and I don't. I am going to have to do it via tubing…
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? 2 hours ago, FJ12Ryder I had a custom sprocket made for a 1992 Suzuki GSXR 750, because I installed the wheel on my '86 Yamaha FJ1200 so I could use 17" wheels. There were no sprockets available in the size I needed to…
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? I ended up going with a DID 530 VX Xring Chain and Vortex Sprokets front and rear. I also got a Motion Pro PB Chain breaker Rivet tool. I saw a video on Youtube and liked that I can get parts for it on Ebay if something…
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? FJ12ryder thanks for clarifying.. Joel
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? 5 minutes ago, FJ12Ryder I think if you stick to name brand steel sprockets you'll be fine. I usually get mine from Sprocket Center, but I prefer DID chain. I have an industrial chain breaker, and the Motion Pro…
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? 36 minutes ago, FJ12Ryder Yeah, it's a, RAM mount I use it to mount my GPS. I've read that the 6th gen's bolts are spaced a touch wider, but not enough to cause serious issues, or problems that a small application of…
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? Back to the original question.....what manufacturer chain sproket sets are best for the money.........Is the vortex CK2141 a good choice? also, I need to know what brand of breaker and rivet tool is best for the money?…
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? Fj12ryder.....is that a ballmount on your tank bolts? Where did you get that? I like that as it won't make your phone turn with the bars. Joel
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? I will just go stock.....I was hoping the extra tooth or teeth would take a bit of the bite out of 1st gear but it would have been a subtle change at best. Wish they would have made the lower gears longer. Joel
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? I want to fix my speedometer with new sprokets. I figure a 15/42 or a 16/39 will give me the 10% change needed. I was hoping to get a good set for less than 150 bucks. I don't want to spend 125 dollars on a speedohealer…
- The very first thing to suspect when the throttle sticks Unfortunately it was the last thing I check.........after messing with it for several hours I did get it to start working after lubing both cables, adjusting top and bottom adjustments, lubing under the plastic cheap…
- how off is a stock speedo? I noticed in town today on two occasions that my speed was off when clocked by a mobile radar unit....I think 40mph on my dash it was showing 36-37. Are vfr's known to read higher than they are actually going? In…
- VTEC transition worse after installing Power Commander V I just read a day or 2 ago about a guy that installed his pcv and the bike ran like crap until he hooked back up his snorkel, flapper, and pair valve. He said it totally fixed it and was quite impressed with the…
