All 19- I did a thing (new to me 97) Alas- the one that got away - actually I pushed it away. My '95 was the first street bike I actually owned. I bought it lightly used, and it had been down on the left side only but came with a new panel. It was the…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... It was across all gears at low RPMs. Speed... that's hard to say. Lower speeds typically indicate lower RPMs for me, but I could get it rolling out from 0-25, coming out of tight corners at 35-40 or at highway speeds…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... So success... I think.... Rode it today with the Delkevic exhaust (with the dB Killer installed) and its still running really well. Idle still a little high but only by 100-200 RPM so I'll deal with that at some point.…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... For anyone that cares, the latest: Friend came over and tore it down past the air box. We did some basic sensor measuring on the meter per the manual, but everything seemed within spec. The air filter looked fine ( I…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... So I have a buddy coming over Saturday - he's a mechanic and understands such things. Also has the tools I don't. I found the sensor reading "flow chart" in the service manual so I at least know where to start some of…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... Thx Danno! The problem is that it also requires tools and skill - something I lack at the moment 🙂 I had a multimeter at one point - not sure where it is at the moment. Also would need to know where to measure - is…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... OK - so I swapped in the factory exhaust, and it made no difference so this has evolved from a swap in/swap out bolt-on experience to a full-blown trouble shooting exercise. I will try to set the table accordingly.…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... Just wanted to update this: I went back to "full loud" with the dB Killer removed and the problem persists - I took the "no cost" option of putting the stock exhaust back on last night. Forgot how quiet it was -…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... Rode hard today with the dB killer "spud" installed - I put it in a few days ago to tame the noise. I noticed that there seems to be a noticeable hesitation/stumble around 3-4K, and it seems more common with softer…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? 19 hours ago, TimC I have a db killer in the SC-Project exhaust on my BMW. It sounds good as-is, but I'm tempted to pull it out to hear how much louder it is without the baffle. I'm not a fan of loud exhausts, but I am…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Put the "spud" (DbKiller) back into my Delkevic exhaust. As much as I liked the sound, it was just too loud. It still sounds good, but it's lost that "punch you in the gut" immediacy it had. Definitely better than…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Put Tank Slapper film on the tank for some paint protection. A complete PITA. I've applied them before and never had any issue, but I'm not convinced the cut outs were specific to the 2014 model year. In the past, I…
- 2014 VFR 800 - My first impressions 2 hours ago, Presson - Suspension is "meh". Once I figured out that Honda set the bike up at the factory to run on glass roads piloted by small, fit people, the adjustments were obvious really enjoying the reviews in…
- 2014 VFR 800 - My first impressions Been riding my 2014 for about four months now. It's a good bike - a very good bike. I'm not certain it will ever be great for me, but I picked it up with 1100 miles on it for a price I couldn't refuse. I've put around…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? 11 hours ago, Bluehawk cant see why you should be having bother? There is plenty of access with the seat gone. and as mentioned, a good allen key, or any allen will do it. I have just acquired one and for the first time…
- 2014 VFR 800 - My first impressions 15 minutes ago, Grum Hey Bluehawk. What ya talkin about here? No such function! :wacko: If you hit it hard enough with a pipe, technically that "alters the illumination".... Not a new feature though 🙂
- What did you do to your VFR Today? 2 minutes ago, Grum Surprised to hear you say that. Access to the Adjustment Plate bolts is extremely good, even if they were excessively tight there shouldn't be any issue at all, easy to add an extension to the 6mm…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Funny - I just re-installed the collars. I had removed them for a while, but I'm trying to get as much "knee relief" as possible and I'm more comfortable with the bike at this point. Trying to avoid peg lowering blocks…
- Question About Transitions Late to the party here but I like this particular video on the subject - there are quite a few. The older I get, the harder it becomes to constantly push myself out of the seat constantly over the course of a long day…
