All 45- What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? http://www.hondapartsplus.com/oemparts/a/hon/506ca725f870023420a3fbba/air-cleaner 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 (2) for the large tube. http://www.hondapartsplus.com/oemparts/a/hon/50540f9cf870021c54bedc7c/carburetor-assy 39 and 26…
- What is the stock jetting/needle, which needle do I have? 38/130 is stock. Those look like Dynojet needles but the main jet would be a DJ120 or 124. Assuming the needles are correct the clip should be on the third groove from the top. Are there brass shrouds visible in the…
- Rear hight adjustment 8 hours ago, Helweg is there a way to determin the strength of the springs Check to see if the rate is engraved on the end surface.
- Rear hight adjustment Changing to a harder spring should not affect the length of the stock shock with the bike unloaded. The shock will top out at the OEM length unless it's been internally modified. The rear tire sitting 20mm shy of the…
- 750 CLUTCH SLAVE: WILL 800 SLAVE FIT? It looks like the gasket, bolts and internal parts are all the same. Only the body is different. There's a good chance it will work.
- fireblade foot rests on 97vfr 93-97 but you'll need aftermarket adjustable versions for more clearance. The OEM brackets have the peg at the same position.
- Thinking of turning my VFR750FL into an RC30 replica. Ha! Small world!
- Thinking of turning my VFR750FL into an RC30 replica. Very nice. Looks very close to a friends. [image: 12347719_10154295694155663_4658384770118170568_n.jpg]

- 1995 Vfr project Is it just me or does the sidewall height look extraordinarily tall?

- 4Th Gen Fork Options 38 minutes ago, Mohawk Go for a Nitron, equal quality & available in a range of option, including length, hi/low speed compression, remote/integral reservoir etc. I'm happy with Ohlins. As for adjustable length shocks,…
- 4Th Gen Fork Options No, the Ohlins for the 4th gen is not adjustable for length. I was able to find a supplier for linkage plates to lower or raise the 4th gen, as well as a few people who have made their own. The inability to lower the…
- 4Th Gen Fork Options WestOfBen, 2015-12-17 at 4:05 PM I've placed about 5-10mm of large washers between the top shock mount and the frame to lift the rear a bit. You can only put a few under there otherwise you risk the top shock mount…
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression markpaczynski Thanks for all the advice. I will definitely re-look the carbs and clean them out. I will also try a valve cleaning. If none of this works I am considering putting a different V45 engine in it. I have…
- (Rebuilt) 1000R Forks Slamming Into Something Hard On Full Compression The oil lock piece is a tight fit and is probably still at the bottom of the fork slider. It won't just fall out.
- Valve Adjustment And A Coolant Leak And ... Carbs - It sounds like you removed the baseplate all the carbs were bolted to before removing the carburetors themselves. Not a good idea. Leave them as a unit. It does make them harder to remove and reinstall when…
- 1KR engine into 1KF frame Hooray for vintage cached pages So.... you want a little more power.... Here is a write up explaining the installation of VF1000R motor into VF750FD (Interceptor) chassis. Read this through, then decide if you want to…
- exhaust / Swingarm question It's set it and forget it. There is no adjustment or sideways play to worry about. That said, you don't need to remove the swingarm to remove the collector box. The rear header pipes clamp to the top of the collector…
- help me identify these forks Those are from a 1985 VF700F.
- First gen exhaust Just about to put a new MC Distributing exhaust on Ebay. 4-2 with front/rear headers like the race system. Haven't used it, but even the catalogue said it would be very loud. Send me a PM if you are interested. Attached…

- Cam holder bolts breaking Don't apply oil to the bolt and clean out the hole with contact cleaner. The same torque setting on a lubricated bolt results in more tension than dry threads.
- Thanks again to SEBSPEED Awesome! Check the date on those tires! *thread and experience related*

- What You Didn't Want Is Missing! It isn't a sportbike. $10 says the VFR1000RR has them. :blink:
- Time For Another Oil Change/.. *looks around* I use Motul 5100 in my VFR (10W40) and RC30 (15W50) and Castrol GTX in my VF750F (my preferred oil for that bike was discontinued long ago, it doesn't shift well on Motul). *runs away*
- Q's Regarding Brake Pads Did you clean the pistons before pushing them back in the caliper? That could cause the drag, but if the wheel turns freely it may not be serious, but could get worse. The OEM pads are beveled to prevent vibration and…
- How To Remedy Tire Mold/glazing On New Tires. It's a good idea to take it easy for at least a while, a few blocks or kilometres, as new tires do have a surface finish to them without any release compound. And you've just had the front wheel and brakes off. When you…
- Short Throw Throttle The stock throttle is already 1/4 turn. That term comes from much older bikes when converting to flatslide carbs. You could try a throttle tube from a RC30 or CBR1000RR. It's a small but noticeable difference, but the…

- Buying An Ohlins From The Us I have a brand new, unused HO323 46DR that fits your bike. I was going to put it on eBay. Would you be interested?
- 2008 Vfr Announced... Dissapointing Boo hiss...No new Honda for me.
- Rc30 - Rvf750r/f - Vfr800fi Rear Axles And Cush Drives The info and pics are incorrect. The RC30 and RC45 are both single nut wheel retention and without cush drive. The picture you describe as the 90-93 RC45 (which does not exist) is actually the 3rd Gen VFR750F. The…
