  2. Dumb question - Are the needles on the gauges supposed to "cycle" upon turning the key to the "On" position? 20 Oct 2020 03:34 5th gens dont cycle.

  4. RC51 oil cooler install on 5th gen 24 Jul 2020 18:09 Stray, 7/18/2020 at 4:57 PM Ranger, were you the first to do the swap? Awesome mod! I guess. With the 6th gen cooler only being 1 row more and having to bend both lines I just ebay shopped amd found the rc51 cooler.…

  7. RC51 oil cooler install on 5th gen 14 Jul 2020 21:02 Glad to see people are liking the rc51 oil cooler swap. So many years have passed and with the double o-ring setup, shes never leaked. I've been off the forum for some years now. Ive been so busy that riding got left…
  8. Nervous About Taking A Long Trip 25 Jan 2015 16:14 Just dont ride while its extremely hot or cold and always have some water and food with you.
  9. Nervous About Taking A Long Trip 25 Jan 2015 02:46 My dad and I and a friend started taking long trips 4 years ago. Every time we go something happens. It's just part of the trip. First year my battery died (ended up being bad R/R), luckily happened in a town with a…
  10. Could You Do This On Your 5Th Gen? 28 Nov 2014 13:49 If I had those bars, Id try it.
  11. Hossackviffer Mkii 9 Oct 2012 04:56 Ha. I never saw that I was mentioned in this kick ass thread. The COP's ran fine while I had them installed. Just took them off because of vacation trips and just wanted to eliminate any problems. There are others that…
  12. RC51 oil cooler install on 5th gen 13 Sep 2012 04:35 Still all is well. No leaks either.
  13. Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR 17 Sep 2011 06:33 I dont know. Thats Tightwads site.
  14. Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR 17 Sep 2011 05:02 Sounds like the R/R is kicking the bucket. Mine will get hot and sometimes when I pull in the clutch, the bike will just die. It'll act as if the battery is dead until it cools down enough.
  15. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 25 Jul 2011 02:50 She seems sluggish now at low rpms and taking off. I'm going to hook up the stockers tomorrow and see if it's the bike or just me. It would be nice to find some that are the same resistance just for the assurance. If…
  16. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 25 Jul 2011 02:11 kaldek rangerscott69 If someone with 6th gen coil on plugs could give me their Ohm (resistance) reading on theirs, I'd appreciate it. Across which pins? Beats me. The fsm doesnt state anything on ohms with the coils. On…
  17. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 24 Jul 2011 21:54 If someone with 6th gen coil on plugs could give me their Ohm (resistance) reading on theirs, I'd appreciate it.
  18. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 24 Jul 2011 06:20 kaldek Awesome mate! So is that now running with the 6th-gen throttle body and injectors as well? Yes. Just need to set the starter valves now.
  19. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 24 Jul 2011 06:06 I got em for $9.......so yea. LOL

  21. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 19 Jul 2011 04:46 Ya, these Denso's (without flap seals) are used on just about anything. The ones on my ER-6N look exactly like the ones used on other kawa bikes and gsxr 1000's. I was google imaging them and a lot of four banger import…
  22. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 19 Jul 2011 04:19 5th gens are just two wires. Out of all the bike coils I searched on ebay, the 6th gen vfr's were the only 3 prong coils. Edited July 19, 2011 by Ranger77
  23. 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. 19 Jul 2011 03:10 It never stops, does it? Moving onto my next project. Since I don't feel like modifying the 6th gen airbox, I'm just going to go this route. [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/mKDeS2ZBm0s?feature=oembed]
  24. Beware the Yellow Peril 11 Jun 2011 04:25 I thought he was just talking about the mid pipe and cans. Would like to know what the price would be to have a set made with regular exit port position. I'm sure high but a number thrown out just so we can know. Edited…
  25. Beware the Yellow Peril 11 Jun 2011 03:00 Ya know. You could be super cool and find a machinist/exhaust guy to copy those lovely pipes since no one makes any more for us. I'm sure some would like to have a set. :bliss: Edited June 11, 2011 by Ranger77
  26. Beware the Yellow Peril 10 Jun 2011 05:10 Who here has two thumbs and is jealous? Yea. That would be me. Man. I'd love a bigger set of pipes. Edited June 10, 2011 by Ranger77
  27. How the fast idle wax unit works 5 Jun 2011 18:38 Here's the 5th gen. [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/X1TNW8MH91k?feature=oembed]
  28. FI light woes are a thing of the past! 20 Nov 2010 20:00 So electrical problems on these bikes seem to be from: 1. Over voltage/amps 2. Loose fittings (arching) 3. Maybe too small gauge wires used in harness? 4. Too many frickin connections. LOL
  29. FI light woes are a thing of the past! 20 Nov 2010 03:20 I believe its on the left side, even with front seat, behind side plastic.
  30. FI light woes are a thing of the past! 20 Nov 2010 02:23 I'll be adding some dielectrical grease to mine tomorrow.
  31. Surging Surging Surging! 7 Nov 2010 14:47 Has anybody with an ABS model every hook up an electrical reader to the ABS to see what kind of power it pulls when in use/not in use? Edited November 7, 2010 by Ranger77
  32. Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. 3 Nov 2010 04:06 My Kawasaki ER-6N is a [5] type filter. The kawasaki oem filter uses media like the yamaha filters instead of folded pleats. I'll remind myself to take measurements.
  33. Give Your 5th-gen A Boost... 9 Jul 2010 16:02 Tried to use the pm system but it wont work on my droid. Will you sell those oil cooler adapters that bolt to the oil pan seperate? How about the water oil cooler?
  34. Give Your 5th-gen A Boost... 19 Jul 2009 03:40 Well there's a nice brand new '08 ninja 650r for a tad over $5 I'm looking at and I'm adding a/c and a turbo to my vehicle so I'm a little busy with spending money and time. LOL
  35. Give Your 5th-gen A Boost... 16 Jul 2009 00:54 Is there another (cheaper) supercharger that can be utilized? Just wondering. I'm about to get an an aneurysm from not having this kit.
  36. Air Compressor Recommendations? 4 Jan 2009 06:43 Mines a HF. Friend gave it to me and I have no clue to how old it was before I even got it but I've had no problem with it. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=40400 [image: 40400.gif]
  37. Air Compressor Recommendations? 2 Jan 2009 21:04 Depends on how much room you want taken up. I have an 8 gallon oiled compressor I use. If you get a compressor compressor, make sure you install a filter and water seperater inline with the hose.
