All 39- Poor fuel economy Bosch universal is much bigger. It’s not going to fit.
- Poor fuel economy Mohawk, 4/11/2021 at 10:55 AM If you need another sensor, I just remembered I have the old ones from mine in the garage somewhere. You would need to splice the wires as I stole the connectors to power my wideband…
- Poor fuel economy To update the thread and prevent anyone else trying. The Bosch universal is way bigger and not even compatible thread wise. It’s about 4 times the size of the Honda one 😉
- Poor fuel economy I have fitted a used O2 sensor from a 2017 VFR800 with 3,800 miles on it. £11 from eBay. Honda want £498 for a new one! That’s a tenth of the price I paid for the whole bike...ridiculous. I was going to try a Bosch…
- Poor fuel economy Grum, 4/8/2021 at 6:36 AM Ok. Thanks for the heads up Skids. So therefore the Fuel Pressure Regulator is located on the Right side end of the forward fuel rail. NOT like the 8gen. There actually isn’t a fuel pressure…
- Poor fuel economy 10 hours ago, Mohawk Just check the temp gradients. The rads do heat up before the thermostat opens due the the coolant bypass circuit. You need to check the coolant path temps, if hose above right rad heats first then…
- Poor fuel economy DannoXYZ, 4/4/2021 at 10:02 PM I suspect that all major makers and their suppliers are outsourcing production to 3rd parties. So you can pretty much pick any sensor, snip off connector and crimp on OEM connector and it…
- Hello You did ask for photos.....I’ll stop now
- Hello 11 hours ago, moroseduck I am in awe of anyone who can get away with a bike in bits in the living room. I get dirty looks for taking up driveway space. Mind you, your bike looks more like a piece of modern art than mine…
- Hello 3 hours ago, Skids What? For her to live with you for 20 years or to get the bike in the living room? :wink: :beer: BOTH of course 😉
- Hello 18 hours ago, Cogswell I wonder if that hugger would fit a 6th gen . . . Any detail on your suspension upgrades? She's a nice looking machine. :fing02: It is a pyramid hugger. Seems pretty good so far. suspension is…
- Hello 16 hours ago, JZH Not married, I see... :happy: Welcome! Ciao, JZH Ha! Not married but been with her 20 years and 2 kids. Took some persuasion 😉
- Poor fuel economy I bought a low mileage (3700 miles ) VFR800 2017 used sensor for £11 on eBay as a backup plan. Honda are taking the mick with their pricing. Unforgivable.
- Poor fuel economy I’ve gone for a Bosch universal for £46 delivered. Can return if no good. it has to fit here, so hopefully it’ll be ok
- Poor fuel economy Or maybe this is a better bet?
- Poor fuel economy Then there’s these with strange name / branding. But the similarities are startling. Both the original and this one have Japan written on them same font, same construction ( probe end aside ) Different connector but…
- Poor fuel economy First 3 images are the Honda sensor and connector Last image is what I’ve found on Amazon. Question is will the sensor fit the exhaust. The wiring connector looks perfect, even down to the wire colours
- Poor fuel economy Thanks Danno. That all makes sense. I’ll look into O2 sensors. stat and new o ring are already ordered. When I’m doing the stat, I’m going to replace the pairs covers that have blind ended tubes on them with proper…
- Poor fuel economy I’m pretty certain the Crossrunner came with these as standard from the factory
- Poor fuel economy 7 hours ago, DannoXYZ Plugs still shows running way too rich. Radiator-temps shows running slightly on low end, but still within proper range. Purpose of O2-eliminator is to allow piggybacks such as PowerCommander or…
- Poor fuel economy Believe me, if I had a route to work that involved fast roads I would be exploring more of the Rev range. Our capital cities roads are clogged with cars, dotted with speed cameras and filled with potholes you could lose…
- Poor fuel economy Searching through other posts I found something that rang a bell. When I bought the bike I remember it had a slight milky deposit in the oil window. it disappeared quickly and hasn’t returned but......it’s all starting…
- Poor fuel economy 4 hours ago, Mohawk The O2 Lambda sensors measure the exhaust O2 or lack there of. An O2 eliminator sets the ECU to run the engine on a preprogrammed fuel table. As this appears to have improved the fuel flow, it would…
- Poor fuel economy 9 minutes ago, Magneto https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_tuneup As it says “modern fuel injection has rendered this technique obsolete” I’ll stick with a slow and steady test. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the…
- Poor fuel economy 1 hour ago, Magneto Bike can’t be run that way. You must include Italian tune-up in your riding routine.... ??? You’ve lost me there
- Poor fuel economy Ah! Good to know. Thanks. so I went out for a nice steady run with more open roads and some motorway miles. Filled up and zeroed everything at edge of city stuff. The best I saw was 10.4 miles per litre average on the…
- Poor fuel economy Magneto- Tyres fairly new and correct size, pressure spot on. by the way I’m in UK, London. No idea where Loomies is??
- Poor fuel economy Wow! A new O2 sensor is £494....seriously hope it’s not that then.
- Poor fuel economy O2 sensor and old plugs
- Hello
- Hello Handlebar conversion
- Poor fuel economy Thank you for all of your replies. Interesting and informative reading. I am currently waiting on the ‘hens teeth’ workshop manual for the Mk1 Crossrunner. I had to order it from Germany, who ordered it to be reprinted…
- Hello
- Hello Will this do?
- Poor fuel economy For reference- my commute rarely sees me get above 50mph and mostly its filtering past heavy London traffic. Vtec use almost impossible during the trip. Even if I change up and really potter along, consumption remains…
- Poor fuel economy Hi thanks for your replies. I put the questions in 6th gen and 800x forums in the hope of getting views from both groups of owners. if that’s a bad idea, happy to delete one of them. Grum- I use 98 octane fuel in UK.…
- Poor fuel economy Hi i own a VFR800X 2013. it’s had a few owners, and has covered 12,000 miles, 2,000 miles in my hands. modifications done: 1: pair valves disabled and blocked, air box bunged. 2: flapper valve disabled / disconnected 3:…
