- Girl Touring On Trike Bf On Bike Pics From A Few Years Back? Am looking for a link to the write up of that girl that was touring a trike a little while back. with her bf on a bike? Anyone remember? Am looking at the design of bike if poss.. thanks..
- Charging System Fail! i would change battery first off.. Sounds like yours has gone.. easy to buy new batteries well off their shelf life.. To check your charging loom with your r/r that has checked out ok simply.. Try a new earth wire from…
- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? yea.. do it.. but you choose a different path than thoses who slug flat 4 600s..... [image: jurby connor 18aug13.jpg] it wont be the cheapest to repair damage, so you will learn to adapt.. easy enough thanks to hondas…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) Going for a full service soon and might try the cops again.. Engine blueprint on the cards as i have rebuilt so many boat engines this year, my vfr rebuild should be fun, saving a fortune... Spark still running poor (im…
- Anyone running without an oil cooler? That example you give is similar to the one that failed on me first try.. the right angle fitting did not leave enough room so would not seal with a hose clamp comfortably and was weak. Have found the same cheapy i…
- Anyone running without an oil cooler? i would say the monkey bike coolers of which there are many examples, are not the correct size... Deceptivly large looking, but with only 6mm, or at best 8mm fitting.. Not the easyest to find and not always avaliable on…
- Anyone running without an oil cooler? Cheap.... chinese rads avaliable online.. slightly shorted.. extra row... even with 10mm fittings included. i had a stronger bracket welded on for track strength as the one it came with split after i bent it to position…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) Just removed my k8 gsxr1000 cops. The engine stall at 2000 seems to have gone. The pops have reduced.. Maybe i should have tried the honda cops?... The plugs were very dirty and got a swift clean and rough re-gap...…
- Should Stator Wires Be Almost "too Hot To Touch"? my rr runs cool.. A few simple mods including a home made vfrness, a relocation from the right to the left side of both the rr and the stator wires that go thru the middle of the block...I doubled up both the negatives…
- Vnr? Wtf! Nr750 Replica Really like the work here.. cest tres bon.. With those molds, Glass, Carbon or Kevlar runs are just a sticky week away...... send to me, i have plenty of spare time.. :beer:
- Quick Question You might consider a vfrness as its called.. heres a pic of the one i made to replace melted RR connector block and lines. The standard honda ground goes into the middle of the rear loom which i suggest cannot cope well…
- Carb Details/jetting Advice - 3G :lurk:
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) Been there from the start for sure..up to operating temps make little difference to the idle.
- My 12.7V Woes I built one of these and my rr runs fairly cool in comparison... Got to reuse my old RR. as i caught it before it completely melted.. Over 14V all the time now.. The earth from rr some reason goes straight into the…

- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) All the while i am scraping my knees round almost every other bend i gotta say yes the COPs are working just fine after another mega track day on Sunday! So is the wrong 929 rear shock even with wrong spring and…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) I feel i must add for anyone else happy and skilled to modify their bike that, I would NOT recommend any modifications over a standard Honda VFR! The VFR is the best bike in the world as it stands.. have you not read…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) I have done some extensive modifications on both ends of the bike. And what results did you get from the modifications or experiments.. what failures? Are there any definitive improvements over any other mod? Whats the…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) I was looking at pushing the top of the radiator out an inch or so, just pivoting it forward. I know I will have to notch the inner cowl to accomodate this, but that shouldn't be an issue. It should also be a fairly…
- Dead Vfr (Electrical) If still no joy with different battery or earth screw, the key ignition switch wires under the key, sometimes the solder can start to go and then fail under load...(that one took me 8 months to find when it happened to…
- 94 Cafe Project Just a twin headlight to finish and its a winner!
- 94 Cafe Project lol.. Get some gixr cops and plug them into some caps you have wired into your loom. I crimped small spades onto a Honda blade cops loom and pluged into the vfrs coil connectors. All the connectors are the same for…
- 94 Cafe Project Once those coils have gone, the battery can sit forward at lowest point. Sorry for rubbish iphone pics.. [image: post-5025-0-93882700-1362495861.jpg] The COPs have worked perfectly well for me so far - problem solved...…
- 94 Cafe Project Burns pretty sure the only advantage of the left exit is stricktly bling. The left exit is for swifter rear wheel changes as the rc30 race bike.. the 2bros system is designed for racing not the road... Bottom end…
- 8th Gen? RC213V slated for production in 2014 About time too! Hope it wipes the floor on the circuit and gives us a fresh class to race in... Ill stick with my poor mans version for now ty....
- 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. No idea on mileage as i have removed the speedo. With 2 track days and a few afternoons motoring around the isle of man i guess 2-3 hundred miles? No idea on spark plugs as i have not yet have a problem with them...…
- 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. All my COP's are running perfect. well they feel and run well with no problems. Road riding all day or/and race/track time all day long. Perfect throttle response! In the 4th gen motor that is..Using gsxr1000 8th gen…
- ??? Aftermarket shock for 4th gen Not happy with my 929 ohlins shock and spacer option. The rear end does not give good feedback or ride. just ok.. Have had better grip and control with an EMC replacement unit. Quite cheap as well at 300 notes! Have not…

- Carburetor Hydrolocked my engine... nothings melted has it? The vfr is so simple u can take almost everything off and it still works...
- RC30 forks Agreed with the carbon Kevlar mix... either sheets of carbon Kevlar mixed already or single sheets of carbon then Kevlar laminated. Same idea i have been building high spec boats with for some years now... not the…
- RC30 forks Best right way round front end i ever used was the 45mm 98/99 CBR 900 forks. They carry 2 finger good, silver 4 pot brakes similar to SP1. This blade ran 310 discs same as OEM RC30. Very good they were too! I also used…
- Riding Ergonomics :tour: So long as there is plenty of fluid in your res to cover the little hole in operation you should be ok... i removed the fluid res from handle bar with a new small plate on top yoke bolt and a new pipe to connect.…
- RC30 forks If you can get a mold together for a vfr composite tank i would be very tempted, hopefully still with a good amount of fuel in the tank for the odd endurance race.... Its the only part i have not taken weight out of yet…
- Riding Ergonomics Thanks, handy tips..... Now adjusted.... :tour:

- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) There in and running....... After 2 mins start-up hiccups... full power rev with throttle became no problem to find.... Track time this Saterday will tell if things are up to spec. Sounds spot on... :tour:
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) good point.. any one try the vfr800 cops? Edit: am all wired in now with cop's, just starter motor to finish before oil, battery then test em out...
- low miles 1997 vfr. a 20,000 mile example will perform just as well....and save you £2000 Nice find tho
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) The slipper clutch was very easy to install. Especially with the help of a hand held battery hammer drill for easy center nut removal/fit..(Disclamer- no sorry you have to do it the proper way with that silly clutch…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) Well, yes today a stage further. I have the cooler fittings ready for clean up and paint. The original pipes were cut and shut. Altho now i think i made a big effort over nothing as the fittings into the original cooler…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) douglasthecook flyguyeddy 900rr is tci. All coils share a positive switched feed and ignition module grounds the coils. As does almost all honda street bikes (with the exception of the vtr1000 and the rvt1000, as stated…
- Quick shifter for carbed bike They look like the ticket. The vfr 400 versions should work? Just over £250 so reasonable as they come with all the electronics ready to go as well.
- Quick shifter for carbed bike Simple should work, but reliability is the key. Fuel is not a problem either, race bikes pop on the shift.. thats why. The shift rod pressure sensor is what is wanted. Not sure if they are programmable yet, must read…
- Anyone running without an oil cooler? Think ive sussed it now.. Cheap as well... back to plan a.. Picked up a very cheap rad for a pit bike some time ago. Its not as long as the vfr one and is a row thicker. The connectors are a few mm smaller, but my hoses…
- Anyone running without an oil cooler? Guess i should still consider fitting the rad i got to start with after all. Just have be a little more adventurous with the fitting arrangement.
- Anyone running without an oil cooler? That would fit into my reasoning sure. That was the impression i have been left with as this was discussed a while back..over engineered vfr, but thats why it was so good as a touring road bike. I do remember hearing…
- Anyone running without an oil cooler? Was happy to add a cooler to start, but connecting things nicely is not there yet! Might just be the replacement i picked up cheap from a small pit bike.? Maybe i should go shopping again for a better shape, small rad.…
