  1. Loss of about 10% horsepower. 22 Jul 2021 21:58 [image: PXL_20210722_215432917.thumb.jpg.40a5bf348ec3ed9d5664990152c56a4a.jpg]Here is the front cams, also timing mark pointing slightly down on intake.
  2. Loss of about 10% horsepower. 22 Jul 2021 21:33 7 hours ago, Cogswell The marks should be exactly parallel to the top of the head where the cam cover mates. That's why the inspection hole, it's impossible to ascertain at an angle. IIRC with it one tooth off, I could…
  3. Loss of about 10% horsepower. 22 Jul 2021 17:29 I'm at work now but I think RE is directly above the #3 timing mark almost where the timing mark should be. As far as I know I'm second owner since 6700 miles and the gears were never seperated from cam shaft. I did the…
  4. Loss of about 10% horsepower. 22 Jul 2021 14:35 11 hours ago, Grum Just wondering! If the exhaust or intake cam timing is out by one tooth, could this increase valve overlap causing excessive intake fuel to exit the exhaust? I'm no expert in this department! How does…
  5. Loss of about 10% horsepower. 22 Jul 2021 02:56 So far non vtec valves are perfect in rear, front 2 cylinders are way off for both intake and exhaust were .011" spec is .014"+-.001" and intake were .005" spec is .008"+-.001" and , I'm in the process of getting the…
  6. Loss of about 10% horsepower. 15 Jul 2021 00:08 Other than being dirty around the throttle body. The hoses all seem fine and soft although 20 years old. I have the evaporative canister and pair removed and capped. Last time I even had the airbox removed was 5 years…
  7. Loss of about 10% horsepower. 14 Jul 2021 21:57
  8. Loss of about 10% horsepower. 14 Jul 2021 14:39 8 hours ago, Grum Interesting video klrtovfr. Are you sure its unburnt fuel vapour or just condensation? - Possibly the beginnings of a ruptured/leaky fuel pressure regulator diaphragm, dumps excess fuel into cylinders…
  9. Loss of about 10% horsepower. 14 Jul 2021 05:08 This is mostly a track bike, last year on my last session I started getting a stutter and surge of power at around 8000 rpms as if it had a second vtec. I have since replaced the spark plugs with new ngk iridium and the…
  10. Gen 5 Track Day? 23 Apr 2019 17:52 If you find it's bottoming out you can try adding 5-10mm oil to use as a bandaid
  11. Gen 5 Track Day? 23 Apr 2019 17:46 That's fine for OEM forks, but if you do fork upgrades you will want the 5w oil I linked. The ss8 is too thick for upgraded valves
  12. Gen 5 Track Day? 18 Apr 2019 23:14 13 hours ago, sportfour Ok guys here's another relating to Honda branded fork oil. This bike has 18 K on the odometer and figured I would do a fork oil change while the front end was apart for service. I'm working from…
  13. Gen 5 Track Day? 13 Apr 2019 19:33 Highly recommend Dunlop q3+ for novice through intermediate pace. I mostly ride a 6th gen at Road America in Wisconsin. Stock suspension is ok at novice pace but you will notice under hard braking from a long straight…
  14. Which tires for upcoming track day? 11 Jun 2018 14:13 Q3 is perfect on the VFR. You don't really need to worry about wheel spin with them. They will also heat up in less than 2 minutes which is half a lap for me.
  15. Clutch 16 May 2017 18:19 changed all my clutch discs at 45,000mi in a 2002 only because I broke the outer clutch basket on an 80mph lowside crash, I didnt notice any difference in clutch performance after replacing and its been abused heavily…
  16. Anybody do track days? 20 Sep 2016 18:39 Thank you, I think I need to get my head/chest down and forward more and keep my outside knee against the tank. Its hard to think about it when focusing on everything else. Most of the photos were from novice and the…
  17. Anybody do track days? 15 Sep 2016 20:01 [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/nVeSywUZrns?feature=oembed] This bike does very well on the track, I still have stock front forks so its not entirely a weapon yet for me but it is more than adequate for any track.…

  19. Wisconsin Riders? 4 May 2016 21:35 Theres a couple of us here in the madison area if you are ever looking for company.
  20. Vtec Shock Options 7 Mar 2016 23:32 A good friend gave me a rear 99f4 shock. Im somewhere between 140-145lbs without gear. This is mainly used for high speed track and Im wondering what the correct spring I need for track use and if it needs to be…
  21. Lightweight Track Suspenion 6 Jul 2015 01:29 That was my instructor waving me through. I think he wanted to test me for outside passing in turns which is allowed in intermediate.
  22. Lightweight Track Suspenion 6 Jul 2015 00:15 Yes I am lucky to live so close to it. There were a couple 2 stroke gp looking bikes there. One he basically had a whole shop in his big van and he ended up tearing the motor down and rebuilding it at the track. Those 2…
  23. Lightweight Track Suspenion 5 Jul 2015 23:33 [video: https://youtube.com/embed/Pas2AeOppic?html5=1&fs=1] You can hear my loud instructor at the end of the session. The guy in the black alpinestars suit was on an ohlins equipped triumph 675r. The next guy on the…
  24. Lightweight Track Suspenion 4 Jul 2015 18:29 Yes i will be riding with a different group next month.
  25. Lightweight Track Suspenion 4 Jul 2015 05:51 5 trackdays in Ive had two instructors refuse to bump me to intermediate because of the bike even though im putting in faster times than my intermediate friend on a gsxr750. They say my skill level is amazing and that I…
  26. Deltran / Battery Tender, Making Litium Batteries Now? 3 Jul 2015 05:07 the battery tender lithium is made by the same chinese manufacture as Scorpion Lithiums and a few others. They are balanced cells which is superior to the popular shorai which last time I checked is not.. I have the…
  27. Tire Mount & Balance 3 Jul 2015 05:01 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0091EZM18?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 Unfortunately the chocks arnt available anymore. I wanted to get another so I could use one for freestanding and one for the…
  28. Tire Mount & Balance 1 Jul 2015 17:01 Mjmotogear.com makes a $36 balancer. Ships from Tennessee. I also have their baxley wheel chock clone sold on amazon. Works just as good You can make an adapter for the rear wheel from pvc Edited July 1, 2015 by klrtovfr
  29. Clutch Window Promo Special -Vfrd Only 29 Oct 2014 05:49 I will let you know within a couple weeks. My Subaru spun a rod bearing and am in the middle of replacing the block. My spare cover has a crack from center down to the dished portion of the sight glass.
  30. "pretty Red" Is Only Pretty On One Side Now. '97 4Th Gen. I Have An Insurance Check For $4,435.16. Let's Get Started 23 Oct 2014 07:34 i did the same thing. Had some nasty air bubbles in my brake lines which didnt mix with a 2 year old cupped pilot power on a high speed track(Road America). I ended up repairing and plasti dipping a different color for…
  31. Drag Runs With No Can 11 Oct 2014 06:14 Ya dont run it without the header. the valves need some backpressure and the cold air will get sucked back in and crack your valves.
  32. Drag Runs With No Can 2 Oct 2014 06:57 I cut the ends off my vtec cans and gutted them. I dropped them off to a guy to have the ends tig welded back on. My car was having issues at the same time, so the bike was my only transportation to get to work. I just…
  33. Drag Runs With No Can 2 Oct 2014 04:54 It should be fine. I drove 120 miles with out mufflers on while they were getting welded back together. If you ran without a header on that is a different story as the cool air would flow back into the exhaust valves…
  34. Electrical Starting Problems - Need Troubleshooting Guidance 29 Sep 2014 02:14 Was the main harness replaced for the recall? If not do the blue connector(left side) wire ground jumper to the frame.
  35. Aftermarket fairing kits 19 Sep 2014 06:33 It looks like this now minus the lights. plasti dipped oem. I used a spare rashed up fairing and spare upper cowl and cut out pieces for the headlights and welded it together. Attached Images [image: IMG_0547-9001.jpg]…
  36. Aftermarket fairing kits 19 Sep 2014 06:13 [image: gallery_5100_7335_112739.jpg] Is this the new plastic ? yes it is. the tab that holds the rear of the taillight eventually snapped, that's why its hanging. I ended up putting the oem rear back on shortly after,…
  37. Aftermarket fairing kits 2 Sep 2014 00:02 This was after the first time I installed it. I had an 02 with Italian red but the red Plastic I received I believe was more like the red on the 2005 VFR which has a more orange tint to it. It was a lot of work and I…
  38. Aftermarket fairing kits 21 Aug 2014 07:45 The upper cowl is the one I had the most issues with. You cant use the oem screws for the headlights and the mounts are very weak and snap off. I had to tack them back on and melt some extra abs plastic around it to…
  39. Aftermarket fairing kits 19 Aug 2014 17:52 color may not match your oem. expect half of the mounts to not line up. You will need a heat gun, possibly a soldering iron or plastic welder, and many trips to the hardware store But other than that the plastic itself…
  40. Well I'll Be Damned! 16 Aug 2014 06:25 I dont drag but I would guess a stickier tire or slick. Your tire is probably cold and or the road surface is slippery On the track I run about 30 psi, you may want to go even lower than that for drag
  41. Need A Pc5 Map For 02-05 W/99 Catless Header 13 Aug 2014 03:55 Cozyes map felt exactly like stock powerwise but quite a bit smoother. Tinyminds map is ridiculous at vtec engagement, makes me lose concentration. However, coasting at 7200rpm then to wot it feels like a lot more…
  42. Need A Pc5 Map For 02-05 W/99 Catless Header 3 Aug 2014 02:44 ya I see that his does fueling in 500 rpm increments where the others are done in 250 rpm increments.
  43. DIY Fuel Pressure Regulator Mod 3 Aug 2014 02:41 06164-PCB-000 Fuel injectors are the same on 99-03
  44. Hesitation, Stumbling, And Occasional Surging - What Are We Missing? 2 Aug 2014 09:14 you can try the 99 blackbird fpr from the other thread. It will make it run richer getting rid of that surge.
  45. DIY Fuel Pressure Regulator Mod 2 Aug 2014 06:28 there you go 99 and 00 are the one you want confirmed. I think thats a mistake in the manual it should be After 00 (01-03) as 50psi. I would go with a 99 just to be safe. 16740-MAT-E02 replaces 16740-MAT-E0 1.…
  46. Checked Out The 8Th Gen Today And.... 2 Aug 2014 05:54 That is marketing BS, there is minimal performance, technology and features in the new VFR800 compared to a VFR800 that came out 15+ years ago. That same sport/touring rider can throw bags on a gsxr1000 and do sport…
  47. Checked Out The 8Th Gen Today And.... 2 Aug 2014 05:40 cug CornerCarver It is not absurd to think that Honda could produce a reliable VFR800 based motorcycle that has a tractable 130Hp at the wheel without the need to exceed 12,000 RPM The thing is: Honda obviously doesn't…
  48. Need A Pc5 Map For 02-05 W/99 Catless Header 2 Aug 2014 05:11 Havent got mine hooked up yet but it will work. I think you were mislead as they work on 02-09 and possibly on 5th gens as well. They usually come with a map designed for an 06-09 but you can load an 02-05 map on there.…
  49. DIY Fuel Pressure Regulator Mod 2 Aug 2014 04:44 I think 99-00 is 43psi and 01 and up is 50psi. Just from a quick google search so dont quote me on that. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/Honda/Motorcycle/2000/CBR1100XX+A/THROTTLE+BODY/parts.html There are two…
  50. Need A Pc5 Map For 02-05 W/99 Catless Header 1 Aug 2014 08:54 alright I will give that a try. Thank you. I just needed something until I can make it to the dyno probably in september. Im sure the gutted stock vs leo isnt going to make a huge difference.
