Last 50 of 212- Vfr848Rr Anyone ? HighSideNZ I would say your calculation on thickness is correct. The volume difference is based on going from 72mm to 74mm Standard it is about 3.26cc with 3.44cc for the 74mm bore I do not believe there is a need to go…
- Vfr848Rr Anyone ? HighSideNZ Yes, I did open the chambers up to match the new bores. Best not to shroud the valves if at all possible. The opened up head gasket is 3.44cc in volume. (per cylinder) My measured chamber volumes etc. have…
- Vfr848Rr Anyone ? HighSideNZ Hi Guys The following shot is of my Gen5 head and the enlarged head gasket (74mm dia) to suit my 929 bore. The standard valve head diameters are: Inlet 29mm Exhaust 24.5mm Even with the 2mm bigger bore the…
- Rapidbike Evo And Racing Related Questions ! Sorry if I'm asking questions that have been answered in this or the other threads, but I'm just getting back to this after last years crash. Finally got the '01 back and the autotune module is dead, so I have to do…
- Vfr848Rr Anyone ? Mohawk You can't stroke the 800fi, the gear cams preclude this, it was already stroked 2mm by Honda taking the RC45 750 to 781cc in the 800fi. Every stroker I've seen has separate barrels so that you can add stroke at…
- Vfr848Rr Anyone ? belovian Glad I could help! I spoke this week to that very talented mechanic Brian was referring to, Bruce Allnut. I stopped by his recently opened shop to chat about all things two wheeled and plied him with a few…
- Vfr848Rr Anyone ? CornerCarver In a week or so we will tear down the spare 5th gen engine. If anyone wants any pics or measurements please let us know... Yeah I want to know the cylinder to cylinder measurement, as well as the total…
- DIY Fuel Pressure Regulator Mod magellan I went ahead and buttoned everything up and put a "T" in my fuel feed line permanently for easy fuel pressure readings later. I now have 40.5 psi fuel pressure (up from 36 psi stock. Shoot for about a 3.6-5 psi…
- Vfr848Rr Anyone ? Rush2112 The bike model info I get from BikeZ.com. It has specs for most bikes from 1970 on CBR 929/954 have a 105 mm connecting rod (I measured center to center (C-C) the one in my garage) and a 54 mm stroke. This…
- DIY Fuel Pressure Regulator Mod hollenbeck I cant find the FPR for my 01 vfr800 fi can you send me a link or do they still sell them? Turbo City no longer makes them. But since they were just a squished OEM FPR your best bet would be just squish the…
- Beware the Yellow Peril Update: Bike with PCIII runs great; bike with PCV runs bad (same A&A-modified base map, which was created as a PCIII map). I've converted the PCIII map using the PCV software a couple of times, so at least it is…
- Vfr848Rr Anyone ? Rush2112 I agree the R/S ratio has nothing to do with the bore. My points are that the larger the piston diameter the more it will exaggerate the rock by moving a greater distance at the edge of the piston for the same…
- Vfr848Rr Anyone ? Well I've been trying to locate the JE piston numbers for the dynamo humm 870 cc big bore kit on the VFR800's. So finding this post has me thinking a little bit differently. And it has me wondering about few things.…
- Found some ball seat lug nuts that may work, lighter weight <off main topic> I thought using charcoal for smoking was heresy!!!
- Found some ball seat lug nuts that may work, lighter weight Myself, I would never use alloy lug nuts on a VFR. They are obviously not as strong as steel. Fine when you have 4 wheels and you (not likely, but lets entertain the thought) lose one wheel. But if 50% of your wheels…
- Found some ball seat lug nuts that may work, lighter weight Hey, I think these would work http://www.sfxperfor...s/GOR38431N.htm The only concern I have is are they deep enough for the VFR stud.
- Beware the Yellow Peril In my experience, more bikes just means more unfinished projects! :tongue: I just realised that I probably don't have a map installed in the PCV, which could explain the poor fueling... :ohmy: This is what happens when…
- Beware the Yellow Peril Well if you put it on the dyno, You should be able to see the flat spot you mentioned. As well as deal with any single cell anomalies in the PCV map worked out. Congratulations on getting it running in the end. I just…
- Changing the Instrument panel bulbs to LED's Well I swapped out the back ground panel bulbs for these http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/index.cgi?action=DispPage&Page2Disp=%2Fspecs%2FWLED-xHP5.htm And 3 of the idiot lights with these…
- Best Way To Repair Fairing Cracks? High wattage soldering gun I wish I did not need to know, but how high should the wattage of the soldering iron be? I have several really old ones that might be high enough wattage for the job.
- Changing the Instrument panel bulbs to LED's Veefer800Canuck I'm thinking if a fella wanted to use white LEDs, maybe the "cool white" ones might be easier on the eyes at night?? yeah, I'm looking for cool white or at least natural white leds.
- Changing the Instrument panel bulbs to LED's Rice Well, if you gona do it, make sure that you pick the ones with diffuser at the top. If you don't you will have some very bright spots shining through. Those things are BRIIIIGHT! And if you try to use dremel to…
- Changing the Instrument panel bulbs to LED's Well, I've got one dead 194 bulb behind both the speedo and tach, so they both have been sort of dim at night. I'm lazy enough that I was in no rush to dig in and replace it, but since I have the instrument panel out in…
- Changing the Instrument panel bulbs to LED's While I have the Meters out of the bike, I'm going to change the bulbs for LED's I found the printed copy of KPerham's led list, which seems to have been lost. I notice that he says not to use LEDs for the FI light and…
- GET BENT!!! Hey Rob, what did you ever do with the stock gas cap? Mine has snapped off the trim ring, so, I get to swap my lock set over to another one. If you still have yours, how much do you want for it. PM me, before I buy the…
- GET BENT!!! Okay you got me now, will those BMW mirrors really fit on the 5th gens? I need a mirror thanks to going down Saturday and I'm tired of looking at my elbows and bags. They are very expensive, even used. Well, I'm looking…
- GET BENT!!! Looks and sounds great, excellent job on the rebuild. Not being a fan of mirror extenders myself, have you considered getting a pair of BMW R1100S mirrors? They are a straight swap and a bit wider than stock 3rd-5th gen…
- My dash Nice work, I do like the gear indicator as it might keep me from hunting for that 7th gear on long slab rides. But that's just another farkle that will go on the never ending list.

- Completed....Custom HID Conversion Kit Well since the wonderful state of NJ has backed away from annual safety inspections, I've pretty much run out of reasons not to do an HID conversion on my 5th gen. I like the latch and delay relays of tightwads setup,…
- 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. kaldek JES_VFR I thought that Scott had already checked the peak primary voltage and current. Not yet - me and Kostritzer were giving suggestions on how to go about it locally. I mean, heck I've got an oscilloscope and…
- 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. kaldek JES_VFR Never mind what the GSXR uses for a plug gap!! IF you test one of these COP's connected to the VFR, what does the spark look like?? Is it bright blue white with a vicious snap? Hang on. What you're saying…
- 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. rangerscott69 No because I believe the gsxr uses the same gapping. I'll double check once I get back into town. Never mind what the GSXR uses for a plug gap!! IF you test one of these COP's connected to the VFR, what…
- 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. Just a thought here, mostly directed to rangerscott69 Did you change the spark plug gap at all? the lower resistance in the primary winding of the COP will increase the potential high voltage in the secondary coil. If…
- Honda bags or no [image: View Post]majordomo490, on 24 May 2011 - 11:52 PM, said: You already have usable bags so why spend the extra - makes no sense to me. It's LUGGAGE! Later when you are flush with cash you can spring for shiny new…
- Completed....Custom HID Conversion Kit Any updates on the moveable H4's? I'd really like to get a set on my 5th gen, both for the great amount of light they throw and the reduced wattage compared to the auto H4's I'm running now.
- Honda bags or no [image: View Post]superfunkomatic, on 24 May 2011 - 01:06 PM, said: The OEM bags look nicer (subjective), they are better designed to fit the bike and are less utilitarian (one size fits all - GIVI), but ultimately they…

- Honda bags or no Well here is the situation guys. I'm looking for a larger bike than my vfr800. And the VFR1200F is on the list. But that brings up the question of should I get the VFR1200 bags or not. I already have 1.75 sets of Givi…
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear I'm sure that when Dynojet rolls out their pc5 for the VFR1200F, they will have the de-restriction worked out. Its kind of a must for them, as they will be working with in the ecm harness to determine the gearing for…
- Just Installed a Compufire Series Regulator DaveB I just installed a Compu-fire 55402 series regulator; I bought it from Chrome-Addiction.com for $173. The unit is a little smaller than the standard Honda R&R but the mounting holes line up nicely so installation…
