All 27- Battery leads - Gen 6 Guys - sorted it! As in the bike now starts. Took another look at the connection and the negative was a bit loose, causing the Power Commander ground wire not to properly connect. Sorted that and she fires up! Phew As…
- Battery leads - Gen 6 14 hours ago, Grum What colour is this wire? If its a Red/Yellow then it's the wire feeding Main Fuse B 30amp, without this wire properly connected to the battery your EFI system is dead = no running.(See drawing…
- Battery leads - Gen 6 Does a VFR800 VTEC have an extra, smaller, lead at the positive battery terminal as standard? Mine has one and it's snapped. Assumed it was for the Oxford heated grips, so not critical to fix. However, the bike won't…
- Gearchange strangeness I forgot to update this thread - took the bike to an experienced indie mechanic who did a proper test ride. And he thinks there's nothing wrong with it. This of course leads to the question of what I'm doing wrong with…
- Gearchange strangeness It's got a gold EK chain so has been changed at some point prior to me getting it earlier this year. Chain looks in pretty good condition, and sprocket teeth look ok to me as well. It's a good question though, I am…
- Gearchange strangeness Back with another update and I'd appreciate any feedback. The problem persists. High RPM upshifts to gear 3, 4, 5 (and probably 6) give me a crunch through the lever. No noise, but it's something I can feel with my…
- Hello from Lancashire, North West UK Bluehawk, 9/9/2022 at 1:19 AM A bit late to the party....Hi!!! 🙂 Thank you! Still loving the VFR. Nice collection of bikes you've got there 🙂
- Gearchange strangeness Have had a look at the clutch operation from the oil filler neck. It seems ok, in as far as the plates move when I operate the lever, and the responsiveness is fine. What I am noticing is that things don't always move…
- Gearchange strangeness @BusyLittleShop thank you - I really appreciate you taking the time to pass on all that advice. I skim-read everything on my phone the other day, but only now have had time to look on a proper computer and digest it…
- Gearchange strangeness Quick update - it took me a while but I finally got round to doing the clutch fluid. That went well but no improvement sadly. Upshifts still pretty harsh at high revs regardless of technique. When I got the bike,…
- Gearchange strangeness Thanks guys I appreciate all the comments. Good to know I'm not on the wrong path! Bike was actually booked in today for the clutch fluid but I had to cancel, and after thinking about it, am going to do it myself. Just…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod Back with an update for anyone that's still following. As above I got the PC5 and tried a few downloadable maps, but they really didn't work, to a point where a fast ride had the bike misfiring and trying to throw me…
- Gearchange strangeness My 2007 VFR800 has 20k miles and appears to have been really well looked after, so I don't think it's been abused. However, when the bike is warm and I change gear at higher revs and lots of throttle, I get a bit of…
- Lifting to centerstand I find the VFR a challenge to get onto the centre stand too. I'm medium height and slim build, but unfortunately not one of those people that's really skinny yet unnaturally strong! My technique is to turn the bars…
- Suggest me a map (Staintunes, Motad cat-less) Got an update in case anyone's interested The map I've settled on a Dynojet map that is described as being for a stock bike. It runs rich across the lower 1/3 of the rev range, this really helps with the snatchy…
- Suggest me a map (Staintunes, Motad cat-less) Bike spec: 2007 model (revised VTEC) PAIR system inactive Staintunes cans Motad downpipes (no cat) PC5 with o2 eliminators Tried the cozye map adapted for 06+ and that felt great but surging issues started pretty…
- Wanted (UK): 6th Gen OEM screen Long shot but does anyone have a really tidy one they're willing to part with please? Just taken delivery of one off eBay but it's covered in big ugly scratches, not just the usual fine scratches/swirls. It's quieter…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod I got a decent ride in yesterday to really check the bike out. I'm now certain it runs better without the o2 sensors connected. It idles smoother, throttle is slightly less snatchy again (not that it was bad since the…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod Update time! I did a test ride lastnight before changing anything related to the sensors. Definitely no surging at constant revs - that's one problem it doesn't have. Today I disconnected the o2 sensors, fitted the…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod Really useful thanks. Just to clarify a few things that I've probably not explained well: 1. What I mean by snatchiness is things like going from maintenance throttle to throttle closed causing so much engine braking…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod 2 hours ago, tbzep What's funny is that these issues vary from bike to bike. I had a 2004 and currently have a 2007 and a 2008 bike. I had the inevitable flatspot but no surging to speak of with the 2004. It was a very…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod Thanks guys. My bike doesn't have surging issues at all, it's purely the low speed snatchiness that needs sorting out. And like I say it is sorted with the PAIR mod. So perhaps I'll just end up doing a proper PAIR…
- Hello from Lancashire, North West UK 1 hour ago, Cogswell They are nasty little F'rs, aren't they? Love the candy red! As for brakes, there is an excellent how to pinned in the maintenance forums. It's a highly recommended service, as neglect can wreak…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod Hello. I've just got a 2007 VFR800 with 20k miles on it. It has Motad stainless downpipes (so no cat) and a very nice Staintune exhaust, which sounds great. It is otherwise fully stock. o2 sensors in place, PAIR system…
- Hello from Lancashire, North West UK Oh, nearly forgot. Does anyone watch HeroRR on Youtube? I had an airbox situation extremely similar to his. Couldn't believe what was in there, and the snorkel has been nibbled.
- Hello from Lancashire, North West UK Ah thanks for the warm welcome! Pictures as requested. The bike is a late 2007, just ticked over 20k miles in the week I've had it. Service history was fairly meticulous until 2018 when it went to the guy I bought it…
- Hello from Lancashire, North West UK Hi all, been a bit of a lurker here for a while but bought a 2007 6th Gen VFR800 a week and a half ago. It's a really nice bike with a few tasty modifications. Looking forward to saying hello and asking some advice.…
