All 19- Gen 5 Fairings/blinker needed after Crash. Hello all! A very unfortunate thing has happened. During a rainy ride home in NYC I rode over a manhole (for some reason also covered in oil) rear wheel spun out and I fell to my right side. My Gen 5 VFR has been…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 2 minutes ago, Terry Mr Honda says to do the fuel pressure check at the fuel pump banjo bolt on the underside of the fuel tank. However...that might be worth doing if the fuel flow/pressure was low. Can't see any point…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 20 hours ago, DannoXYZ Ok, no 5-way joint on your bike. Use this vacuum-gauge to measure vacuum going to MAP sensor. Use T-fitting to tap into hose in-line with MAP sensor. It's primary sensor that ECU uses to calculate…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 1 hour ago, DannoXYZ Follow procedure in manual. You want to measure voltage on MAP-sensor output line to ECU. That's how ECU is getting data about environmental conditions. Measure voltage between lt.grn/yel signal…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 15 hours ago, VicSev93 Grum! Hello. Great to have you here. Thanks for asking! The bike has been running amazing. Did highway and street miles today. No fi lights. Nothing. So I decided to explore into the most…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 16 hours ago, DannoXYZ Measure vacuum in 5-way T that goes to MAP-sensor at idle and 3000rpms. Measure MAP-sensor voltage output at idle and 3000rpms. 4 numbers total. Hey! So I did the Map sensor voltage output. And I…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 10 minutes ago, Terry If you pull the spark plugs out, you should be able to roughly judge the fueling by looking at the colour of the insulator on the centre electrode. Black/sooty would be rich, white/light grey is…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 2 minutes ago, interceptor69 I have a '98 and before I changed to an aftermarket pipe the strong unburned gas smell was minimal but there-but once I installed the new headers it became even stronger. Like you I really…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 1 hour ago, Grum Further to Danno's suggestion. Just for the hell of it!! Try swapping the MAP Sensor and Barro Sensor see if this has any effect, they are the same Part No. Assume you have no active Fi Fault codes?…

- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 1 hour ago, joneill I have a 98 VFR and 99 VFR and have several friends with early (98, 99) 5th gen VFRs. The all seem to run well but have heavy exhaust smells. I think this is due to the lack of a catalytic converters…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 1 hour ago, VeeEffArah How is the routing of the vent and drain tubes from the furl cap from bottom of tank? You mean the two hoses from the gas tank? It's just two tubes so far. They don't even go down all the way.…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) 45 minutes ago, MBrane Check actual temps. No O2 sensors so if it's running cold the ECU will richen the mixture. Could be a temp sensor or stuck thermostat. Hello! Thank you for the reply. Here is the thing.. I have…
- 98 Gen 5 VFR runs rich (but all usual symptoms seem to function properly) Hello all! First of all. I love this forum. You guys are super knowledgeable and I hope one day I can stop asking questions and start answering them. Here is my issue at hand. I have a 98 Gen 5 VFR. No cats. As…
- Gen 5 Stator Options So what I ended up doing is ordering a used OEM gen 5 stator off of ebay, and will be sending it off to southernrewinding for an overhaul, should be a good time!
- Gen 5 Stator Options ducnut, 10/21/2022 at 12:03 PM Southern Rewinding have a great reputation and is probably the way to go. I can’t say there’s any aftermarket stator I’d trust, at this point. Everything is offshore garbage, made for a…
- Gen 5 Stator Options ducnut, 10/21/2022 at 3:24 PM You’re correct. They do. For others, you DO NOT want an ‘02 setup, as they’re the smallest of all the years and are 1yr-only. So youre saying, all I need is an 03 flywheel and stator, and…
- Gen 5 Stator Options Hello my fellow gen 5 enthusiasts! I have a stator question. I already had to once change my OEM stator for a Rick's one. It did fine for about 5k miles, then I did "The Drill" (voltage at 5k rpm was 13.6 when bike…
