All 15- Airbox re-assembly I had an air filter that had deformed so just wouldn't sit into the channels correctly and airbox lid wouldn't fit. Filter should just slot in nicely, that's worth checking. You say the top won't go back on, but then…
- Rear brake locking up... rear center piston... FIXED! @8200rpm what an excellent post, this really helped my understanding of the braking system which I now know I was not clear on! @jfheath If you are so inclined, that guide would be gratefully received. That diagram is…
- Prepping new to me 1998 We shall clean in solidarity! @Sirbike
- 2001 VFR revival Success! I got the throttle body off and this thing just gets worse the deeper I delve.
- 2001 VFR revival I got a few hours at it today. Not as much progress as I would have liked, but this bike is just so filthy and covered in crud, everything takes longer! First up was removing the tank but I didn't want to do that until…
- 2001 VFR revival 18 hours ago, MBrane Ah, the joys of restoring something that's lived in salt air all it's life. Ugh. I commend you sir. I live far enough from the ocean that corrosion is not an issue, but not so far that things get…
- 2001 VFR revival Thanks for the encouragement folks! It's certainly a bigger job than I anticipated but I'm just working through it step by step and learning plenty along the way!
- 2001 VFR revival A few weeks with not much happening[image: IMG20250928113338.thumb.jpg.39af92cdd5f9bebbea54e751cf4a2fd5.jpg][image: IMG20250928112852.thumb.jpg.ed4345fe3cf85ac4043c30ed5d771120.jpg][image:…
- 2001 VFR revival I made a bit of progress over the weekend along with my helper! Front wheel removed and forks out. They are not in great shape but have cleaned up reasonably well. I dropped them up to a local mechanic to do the fork…
- 2001 VFR revival 21 hours ago, bmart If you bother pulling the forks apart....do the front end. Proper springs and valving. It will make all the difference in your riding experience and safety. I'd certainly like to do that, but my…
- 2001 VFR revival Terry, 8/17/2025 at 9:25 PM The fast idle system may also be the starter valves being seized in the open position, or the thin hoses for coolant to the wax unit might be clogged so hot coolant is not reaching the unit.…
- 2001 VFR revival A few pictures of the starting point. It's filthy, covered in cobwebs so needs a wash and a lot of degrease from chain oil fling, but that can wait for the moment. My first job is it is currently idling at 3k revs when…
- New bike... Another irish chap here, good to see I'm not on my own! Your bike is in much better condition than mine. What part of the country are you in? I'm in waterford
- 2001 VFR revival Thanks for the reassurance! It's been about 15 years since I've been on a VFR so although I knew about the whine (which I like) I wasn't sure if it was louder than it should be. I can crack on with sorting out the…
- 2001 VFR revival Hi folks, I'm new here so wanted to say hello and introduce my project. I recently acquired a 2001 VFR that has been sitting for a while. It was parked with a rough running issue. It needs some love but has the bones of…
