Last 50 of 87- My Delkovic Experience fun to hear the comparison. changing cans really makes a difference! Be sure to re-tune after you settle on one!
- 5th gen maintenance --6th gen and other parts that work on 5th gens You gotta turn yours on a lathe. Shaved nearly 2lbs off my 5th gen fly. Quicker revving for sure. Engine response on rev-matching has not felt more instinctual.
- Introducing my new (old) VFR800FI Can't argue with those results!
- - Dr. Ergal's VTR - from old wreck to Infinity (and beyond) 😁 5 hours ago, DrErgal A stupid thing, I know; but these levers are important to me, since they come from my old beloved XX Ergonomics is an odd science... no hate if it works! 5 hours ago, DrErgal Here's the sight from…
- Another Thermostat/hose & Throttle body job (Minor refresh, brakes rebuild, wheels powder coat) Burger, 7/15/2025 at 9:20 PM i'd hook it back up or at least stick a cone filter over it. +1 on this. Pneumatically locked PCV's is how my old BMW blew a VC gasket.
- Air box lid flapper , this is sort of funny Well done!
- fork oil ? 19 hours ago, VTCAL Hoping to start a "this oil is better than that oil" war... Well I'll start! >:b What matters is that kinematic viscosity, not the "weight" in the label.
- - Dr. Ergal's VTR - from old wreck to Infinity (and beyond) 😁 7 hours ago, Terry If you want to see long... Woah there , fellas... we dont have to go down that road...
- - Dr. Ergal's VTR - from old wreck to Infinity (and beyond) 😁 30 minutes ago, DrErgal Well, this doesn't convince me very much so I made an experiment: I bought on ebay a second-hand complete airbox, Ah yes... with the power of purchasing a second one...!
- Air box lid flapper , this is sort of funny 3 hours ago, mello dude I can't stand parts that no longer have a function on the bike I have this curse as well... It's a formidable condition to suffer from.
- Another VFR in the garage Skids, 1/28/2025 at 2:12 PM She's a 2020 model with only 832 miles from new. Dealer stamps for all Annual Services and full Honda luggage. What a find!! If only i knew about these before I bought my transalp... oh well…
- I think it's the right section for a farewell You are more than welcome to stick around. You, among others here, have excellent tribal knowledge that will still be useful! And besides... I'd like to keep up on what you'll be machining next for your new whip!
- rusty crusty 1999 revival 2 hours ago, Burger anyway. first order of business was just some minor painting. 🤣 Boy if that isnt wishful thinking I dont know what is lmaoo [image: Practicing Candor: Don't Pretend Everything is Fine] ooh I can…
- Another Thermostat/hose & Throttle body job (Minor refresh, brakes rebuild, wheels powder coat) Sometime the small things get the best of us! I dont recall having such a hard time with mine... perhaps I erased it from memory 😬 I'm sure you've tried a lot of ideas... perhaps a bench vice could squash it in for you…
- Steering tube extension? Cool Idea! I'm personally not sold on steering dampeners just yet, but more power to ya! If you figure this out it would be valuable to the forums for sure!
- Another Thermostat/hose & Throttle body job (Minor refresh, brakes rebuild, wheels powder coat) 2 hours ago, mello dude Makes me wonder about getting an ultrasonic cleaner machine One day I will join that crowd with a garage ultrasonic cleaner too... Good strategy on keeping the hoses together. I did ye olde find…
- First ride of the season and the side of the road. That stater looks ~KRISPY~
- Another Thermostat/hose & Throttle body job (Minor refresh, brakes rebuild, wheels powder coat) 1 hour ago, mello dude The leaker(s)... Yikes! Those look a bit worse than when I changed out all the rubbers on mine. Very satisfying work to do though!
- 1998 vfr clutch plates 10 hours ago, MBrane If you do it on the sidestand you may not even lose enough oil to be a problem. Sometimes all they need is a little sanding to break the glaze, and new springs. Concur on this. Inspection should…
- 5th Gen Corbin SaddleBags (I have a pair) woahhh those look like proper luxury!
- Introducing my new (old) VFR800FI ewwwwwwwwwww Though it isnt the worst seen here, it is quite bad. I'd wager a few flushes with vinegar can do it justice though. Nothing to be that scared of.
- another brake delinking (approach for the front) 18 hours ago, Terry onversely a larger diameter master makes for a more "wooden" feel and reduces the grab at the brake disc hmm... My intuition is the opposite. Smaller diameter MC -> less fluid pushed into the line…
- Returning VFR owner got me stumped on that extra bit. Surely someone else knows what that's for...
- ~5th Gen OE Brakes, Fork lowers, Innards, oh my!~ Images coming later on... ____________ Howdy, Viffers! I'm getting out ahead of my completion of the VTR 1000 front end swap and posting a listing for all the bits I wont be needing any more. OE Brake calipers |…
- CBR600 f3 fork cartridge mod into 5th Gen forks. 36 minutes ago, Gaz66 File a large chamfer on the back side of compression ports (check valve side) & a slight chamfer on the back side of refill ports. This is done to reduce oil flow turbulence, any turbulence…
- 2 Step Authentication Good move. This should seriously help with the forum raids. Thanks for continuing to support & protect this wealth of tribal knowledge!
- Drop-Pegs & Adapters Research Aggregation | Knight Designs Footpegs - Quickie review 7 hours ago, DrErgal They're damn UGLY Just because it's ugly doesn't mean it isn't useful! Just ask my ex-wife 🤣 Keep it up! I envy such machining skills!
- Drop-Pegs & Adapters Research Aggregation | Knight Designs Footpegs - Quickie review SEBSPEED, 3/7/2025 at 2:55 PM However, if you do get the race style rearsets and flip the intermediate piece(the one with all the extra holes) from Left to Right, you end up with all of the adjustment options being DOWN…
- what type of stainless steel exhaust headers ? 8 hours ago, Morados That is good to hear, I just ordered a spare flywheel for gen 8 VFR but it seems they come with extrusions for the magnetic pole sensor and I cant shave those off, so I have to look elsewhere for a…
- what type of stainless steel exhaust headers ? 43 minutes ago, Morados Do you feel any unbalance/vibrations etc? Was is easy to shave of the weights and where do exactly do you shave of weight on the wheel? No imbalances. When you turn stuff on a lathe, they tend to…
- what type of stainless steel exhaust headers ? Homie on the dyno definitely turned up some gains on the results for ya to make you happy. I'd go somewhere else to pull. FYSA. I made 114 hp only after WILD headers & a staintune can, Wide band O2 sensors on each…
- Drop-Pegs & Adapters Research Aggregation | Knight Designs Footpegs - Quickie review @DrErgal Very fair, but that rise was too much for my knees to take without pain... so a little up, a little down, a little back, and I think I found Goldilocks Also I cant deny the bling factor 😄
- Drop-Pegs & Adapters Research Aggregation | Knight Designs Footpegs - Quickie review Posting to add to the collective consciousness here & reduce research time for others. I am 6'0", and after putting on the 954 rearset adapters by @SEBSPEED I have nigh always had knee issues on my viffer. With me, my…
- First impression after frontend swap @DrErgalThe longer I look, the more I'm impressed! That is a machine to be proud of right there. I strive for my Viffer to be of similar refinement one day.... Happily!! Check your inbox!
- First impression after frontend swap @DrErgal Thanks for the details & visual aides! Chassis stiffness is something I valued a lot in my automotive days... I had thought that was a concept completely missed by the production motorcycle world! Now I know…
- First impression after frontend swap DrErgal, 2/17/2025 at 4:56 AM Brakes are ready, robust, and finally I can manage them as it's supposed to be. My VTR forks are still in a box in the garage... I really need to kick my own butt and get in there to make…
- another brake delinking (approach for the front) 3 hours ago, DrErgal But I also must agree with Cap: a VTR upgrade (even the fork lowers only) would be a much better, leaner and more efficient job. And last but not least, it would allow you to throw those crap…
- Yet Another VTR1000 Fan Retrofit 2 hours ago, mello dude If you ride in stop and go traffic... .ie.... very frequent where you are dead stopped in traffic less than ~10ish mph for longer bout... the stock fan is better. Sans that, if most of the time,…
- Yet Another VTR1000 Fan Retrofit I did ye olde uno reverse card on the 5th gen fan, as many others have... and boyo boy does she pump that stuff out! Took an easy afternoon. One beard out of three difficulty. Just needed a quick drain of the coolant &…
- Brake feel - can it be improved? One thing that i do to all my machines is swap the BMC with a Nissin Radial 19mm. It did wonders for the brake feel for both my VFR & my Transalp. With braided lines too from HEL, of course! Here's a link to one.…
- 98 VFR800 Has a pressurised fuel tank Aftermarket gas caps (like the one from vortex) typically have venting built-in. I have had great experiences with them, but some folks have spicy opinions on them, so YMMV if you want to go that route. Can be found for…
- Any fellow '99 owners can help me with understanding key blanks? Good info! Out of curiosity, can any key cutter around town cut these, or do I need to go somewhere special?
- Any fellow '99 owners can help me with understanding key blanks? I'm looking to make myself a spare as well. Commenting here to follow
- *Braking* News! | Ohlins acquired by Brembo! | https://www.carscoops.com/2024/10/brembo-buys-suspension-specialist-ohlins-in-405-million-deal/ Looks like it'll be one-stop-shopping from now on for all your suspension & braking needs!
- All you, new to you 5th gen owners My machine has 63k on it & I have dodged all electrical problems save for the PO putting a stator in. I'm all for beefing electrical grounds though!
- Fuel injection issue 2 hours ago, gropula Pull them out and have them ultrasonically cleaned and preferably flow tested. If you can score an extra set of injectors off of some throttle bodies on ebay, I'd recommend getting all 8 cleaned,…
- New AGV Helmet I have an RF1200 L with upgraded thicker crown pads that hugs the face ohh so nice... But man I tried on the K6 & K6S and love how light they are. I would have the K6S in L only if they offered thicker pads as it…
- WTB || Complete 8th Gen Front End Got hit from behind & insurance is making you feel some kind of way? Buddy slam dunked your ride out of the parking lot and just perfectly bent your frame? Ship me your entire 8th Gen front end! 😆 I'm looking to…
- Fuel Pump Removal Struggle Bus It's Fuel Pump Friday, everybody!! Partzilla took a HOT minute, but they did deliver! [image: 0.thumb.jpg.ea705db0b6305eef766da9efb71d98c1.jpg] Out with the old... etc,etc. My inner pyromaniac tempted me to light the…
- Fuel Pump Removal Struggle Bus I'm ~$95 in on bits. Partzilla miraculously had all the rubber bits in a kit for $20, then I added the lower hose for another $5 and a new O-ring for the fuel level bobber for $4. Quantum's kit of the inline filter,…
