Last 50 of 65- Why Is Coolant Coming Out Of This Hole? Mohawk The stubs on the heads are the elbows, that the short hoses attach to between head & T-stat. The Elbow is attached with 2 bolts to the head & has an O-ring to seal it to the head. the advice was that as you are…
- Why Is Coolant Coming Out Of This Hole? MadScientist I would recommend replacing the o-rings between the coolant elbows and the cylinder head while you are in there. They are cheap (if you can get them) and easy to replace while you have the whole TB assembly…
- Why Is Coolant Coming Out Of This Hole? Wtf Canada! All hoses are back ordered until end of July! Such bullshit! Does anyone know a place online I can purchase said parts? I can't wait until the end of July :(
- Why Is Coolant Coming Out Of This Hole? VFR4Lee Still sounds like a pita to me. :blink: But, do make a tutorial, they can be a big help. :warranty: Haha.. it's really not! There's just a lot of stuff to disconnect, and the only speciality tool you need is a…
- Why Is Coolant Coming Out Of This Hole? RedRicer, I will be creating a tutorial with pictures once I get all my new parts on how to take the throttle bodies off, change coolant, as well as thermostat.
- Why Is Coolant Coming Out Of This Hole? VFR4Lee jay-d Ah.. ok awesome, seems like a simple fix then, thank you! Methinks you may have spoken too soon. :wacko: Haha.. not at all. Took off the tank and throttle body in about 45 min, not difficult at all.. just…
- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) Balu From my tests I'm pretty sure the rear pedal pushes fluid THROUGH the SMC and thus also through to the PCV and ultimately all the way to the rear center piston. No. This is incorrect, the SMC does not have a…
- Why Is Coolant Coming Out Of This Hole? Ah.. ok awesome, seems like a simple fix then, thank you!
- Why Is Coolant Coming Out Of This Hole? I've had this bike for 3 years, and got it with 5,500km on it. It's now got 25,000km and when I went to get it Spring ready, I noticed a really small puddle of coolant underneath after I did my oil change and started…
- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) I haven't been here for a while, but I'm glad everyone is making good use of this guide! For those that are not pumping the SMC manually, that's completely ok, but just remember that the fluid between the SMC and the…
- Lees Het Zelf Maar FSAE I agree, though there is one saving grace: it's a normal-looking exhaust can, nothing like the VFR1200's stock can, or anything you'd see on a Kawi... I'm excited to see what aftermarket options there are for the…
- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) 2thdr My God, how is your bike so absolutely, postively, spotlessly clean??? Are we looking at the same bike?! haha.. my bike isn't clean!! I'm sure it's cleaner than most, I bought it with 5,500km on it so it was…
- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) BartmanEH Jay, the photo in "G. Left Front Caliper, Inner/Centre Bleed Screw" shows actuating the SMC, but I think this line is done with the rear brake pedal - please confirm. Hey, the picture looks like it's actuating…
- Really odd wobble [image: View Post]Monk, on 14 June 2012 - 12:54 PM, said: Are your tyres cupping? Are the rear lugs tight? What kind of tyres do you have? The bike's only got 15,000km on it, and the tires are Continental Road Attack…
- Really odd wobble Doh! I think I know what it is. I checked my tire pressure a couple days ago and for whatever reason, 34 psi in the front and 36 psi in the rear stuck out. I check the manual and it should be 36 psi in the front and 42…
- Really odd wobble I went for a little ride at lunch and noticed something that I've never noticed before. I was going about 80km/h on a very slight turn and there was a car that was stopped beside the curb so while leaning in to the…

- Reflectors - argh! What to do? The rear fender looks fine to me.. doesn't look like there's been any surgery, I think it just looks that way because of the aftermarket exhaust. The OEM exhaust sits a bit higher.. here's a pic of mine. [image: Posted…
- Clutch Lever Travel This is one aspect that I hate about the VFR. My car has a hydraulic clutch and it engages immediately; I'm not used to having the clutch engage at the end of the travel. I picked up (as most have done) a pair of…
- Theoretical proposal for more light output with stock H4 bulbs Ah sweet! I did all this today, and had all 6 filaments lit up.. lots of light! I'm going to run it for a bit and see what happens. I don't usually use my high beams for an extended period of time, but I'll check it out…

- 6th Generation Stebel Installation - Clean and Simple I wish I took pictures of where I mounted mine. VERY easy if you separate them. All I required additionally was a small L bracket. I'll be taking the front end apart, I might take off the fairings and take some…
- Thinking about going down a tooth in the rear A little bit of basic math from http://www.gearingcommander.com/ it doesn't seem like it's worth it at all. In 6th gear, at 5250rpm, you're traveling at 123.9km/h with your stock 43 tooth sprocket. In 6th gear, at…
- Theoretical proposal for more light output with stock H4 bulbs I purchased Tightwad's HID kit and honestly wasn't my cup of tea. The light output was great but the amount of light scatter wasn't to my liking. I'm going to keep it and eventually retrofit projectors and do it…
- Suggestions on mods Rodney, I like those tail light LED bolts, may I ask where you purchased them from since you're local? I want to get a set!
- Power Commander III Sweet man! I ended up getting the PCV from Baysideperformance.ca! What a huge improvement :D
- Initial Impressions: 2007 VFR800 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought in '06+, ABS became standard? The Conti RoadAttack 2's are a great tire! That's what I put on when I picked up my bike last Spring. They're wearing really well and I completely…
- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) Metallican525 Nice writeup, sure to be usefull as the procedure is rather involved and a pain in the rear compared to bleeding "regular" brakes. I would like to point out, however, that the FSM usually reccomends bolt…

- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) This guide was created because I couldn't seem to find one that was very thorough and included pictures of all procedures. This guide requires the use of Speed Bleeders as it makes life so much easier! You can follow…

- Oh no, not another brake bleeding thread! So I've been pondering this all morning and I think I finally figured it out. In my original post, section 3. , I was confused regarding removing the caliper or not and why that secondary cylinder wasn't moving any…

- Oh no, not another brake bleeding thread! I spent a good 6 hours total time over 3 days figuring out how to bleed the LBS (linked braking system) with ABS on my '06. Unfortunately, there's hardly ANY concrete steps on what the correct method is, without using a…

- Would you buy another 6th Gen VFR? I think I would try something different but that won't be for a long time! My '06 is still a baby at 14,000km (8750m)!
- Is Honda stupid? How are you supposed to remove the low beam bulb plug? [image: View Post]spud786, on 26 March 2012 - 09:29 PM, said: my 06 low beams have side clips, squeese the sides and very light pull, shouldnt have to pull at all, connector comes right out. Well aren't you lucky! The…
- Is Honda stupid? How are you supposed to remove the low beam bulb plug? Well that didn't work. I ended up cutting the wires and even with the whole headlight assembly off and putting shims inside, it STILL wouldn't come out. Holy eff, but finally after some serious mangling, it came free.…
- Is Honda stupid? How are you supposed to remove the low beam bulb plug? The high beam bulb connectors were easy to get off. Two prongs on opposite sides with push-type release mechanisms. For the life of me, I couldn't get the low beam plugs off. I pushed those two push-type release…

- Maybe a vfr, need some direction Hey! The 2006+ 6th gen's seem to have all the issues worked out. The biggest one being a harness that would fry; I'm not sure the exact details of the harness as I have an '06, but Honda should have replaced them under…
