All 14- Cam chain tensioners? (video) So @Grum, Should I replace them? I just replaced by buddies (the one with the electrical problem) CCTs at 41k miles. Mines only at 22k and starting to clack
- Cam chain tensioners? (video) 4 hours ago, Grum So have you got the bike going after all your Ground and electrical problems? Considering all the input that went into that issue, it would be kind of you to at leat post What the fix was?? So we can…
- Cam chain tensioners? (video) 2007 VFR800 with 22,000 miles (32,000 km) See youtube video below: Are these the dreaded CCTs? Is it normal to get them sounding like this with this little mileage? My buddies 02 started rattling at 44k miles.
- Repairing thread on the clutch slave cylinder RC1237V, 5/1/2021 at 4:28 PM Drove up and met Styran this morning and helped him out. Very nice young man with great curiosity, and intuition for mechanical things. Great to see that, as it has become rare these days.…
- Repairing thread on the clutch slave cylinder Well about three weeks ago I took an angle grinder like what @Cogswell said and I managed to thread the whole hole. Once I got three helicoils in I put in the bolt and tightened and the bolt got stuck. What ended up…
- Repairing thread on the clutch slave cylinder 6 minutes ago, Cogswell Can you use a grinder to slim down the shaft to fit the opening? You'd be tapping aluminum, so it seems unlikely the tap would break. When I remove that cover I make a cardboard template to…
- Repairing thread on the clutch slave cylinder 2 hours ago, DannoXYZ I've often wondered about this. Is there any particular reason that bolt has to be so long with threads so deep in that hole? What if we tap hole close to surface of hole and use shorter bolt? I've…
- Repairing thread on the clutch slave cylinder After changing out my front sprocket, without much force I managed to break one of the threads of the clutch slave cylinder/ front sprocket cover. Now I can't get the cover on and I essentially have no clutch. I bought…
- Oil Pressure Light Problem Alright, the job is done. I ended replacing the wire terminal and soldering a copper wire to the switch and it works like a charm now. Thanks everyone for the excellent advice!
- Oil Pressure Light Problem 15 minutes ago, Cogswell That is to the ignition pulse generator. You'll need to pull the clutch cover off to detach it. You can do that on the side stand with minimal oil loss, but figure the bike will not move until…
- Oil Pressure Light Problem Grum, 1/19/2021 at 10:59 PM You are absolutely correct. With Ignition On and engine not running the Low Oil Pressure LED should be ON. Important to have this working correctly. The LED is Ground seeking and the oil…
- Oil Pressure Light Problem One thing I did not notice when buying my 2007 VFR800 was that the oil light does not come on when the key is turned. According to the manual, it should always come on before the engine starts. The bike runs fines and I…
- FI Light Came on While Accelerating I've ridden my bike a lot recently, testing the speed and acceleration and the light has never came on since. Except at the usual times during startup. So I'm gonna assume this is a non issue but that will change if it…
- FI Light Came on While Accelerating Today, I was accelerating pretty fast thanks to VTEC in my 2007 VFR800 and the FI light came on while I was hauling ass but turned off as soon as I rolled off the throttle. Should I be worried about this or is it normal?
