All 24- Clutch master cylinder question I recently rebuilt the clutch master cylinder and refilled and bled it. Ok the test ride I noticed that even with the lever pulled on all the way, the clutch still grabs a little bit. It's hard to get into neutral and…
- Quick question Update: what a pain it was to get to the rear cylinders! But I got it all done and re synced the carbs. It's better but when coming to a stop the idle is still a bit high by 300-500 rooms and very slowly drops down to…
- Quick question Thanks for the links guys. The TPO guys are out of stock of the VFR kit so I ordered on ebay. atx: thanks for the tips. I did check the valves (all in speck) while I was in there. Also replaced the plugs, cleaned air…
- Quick question From memory, there are two plugs on the rear cylinder ports, and two line on the front cylinder ports for the pairs crap. What other vacuum lines are there? Are the ports that connect the pairs system back to the air…
- Quick question I am frustrated with my bike's idling. I have recently cleaned and synced the carbs,c hanged plugs, checked valves and cleaned air filter. After re-assembling everything I have been struggling to set my idle speed. Once…
- 750F Slow Return To Idle Ever fixed your problem? My money is still on the valves being out of adjustment...
- Looking For A Recommendation On Summer Gauntlets I've had my Held Airstream for about 3 years I think (maybe 4?) and they are worn out. I ride about 5000 miles per year, commuting in mostly fair weather. the leather has worn through between some of the fingers. Given…
- Goodbye Vicky ! ( 8Th Gen ) Helloooo Natasha ! Zzr14 2015 If it's just the computer, that is easy. On the Blackbird, I'm pretty sure it was a different set of camshafts... :(
- 750F Slow Return To Idle Check your valve clearances. If they are too far off, you could have intake valves opening too long, introducing blowby and a lean mixture. If that goes on too long, it may end up burning up the valve itself. I had a…
- Goodbye Vicky ! ( 8Th Gen ) Helloooo Natasha ! Zzr14 2015 Too bad they limit you to 100hp back in the homeland. I rode my brother in law's Honda CBR1100XX a couple of years ago, and while it was torquier than the VFR, it just ran out of breath up top and ended up not feeling…
- 2015 Bluetooth Intercom Options I have been researching those things as well. I am looking at Sena 20s, F5MC, Scala rider G9x or Q3 From a functionality perspective, all the current sets have a similar set (in no particular order) of basic features: -…
- "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 Hmm. Sorry to hear about the low side. As was mentioned, learn how to fix plastics because the fairings are hard to find these days. I am also intensely curious how you got that much money from the insurance? Seems they…
- Givi or kappa tanklock bag yeah, I do. Unfortunately, that's a company laptop, and I don't get to pick. :)
- Givi or kappa tanklock bag Bought a Givi XS307. Revzilla has them in stock right now, so I pulled the trigger. Revzilla was great, shipped superfast. Based on the information I could find online, the XS307 seemed to have the biggest footprint of…
- Anyone Using Hid Headlights? Why yes, yes I did. You are correct. I saw "any given RPM", I typed "any given RPM" and yet my brain thought "through the RPM range". Just ignore my posts as I was obviously having a brain fart. Sent from my iPhone…
- 94 Vfr750F As auggius said, get the battery tested. This is the simplest and cheapest thing: it's free at most auto parts stores. Be aware though, that a dead battery can be caused by either age of the battery OR a bad regulator…
- Anyone Using Hid Headlights? Wot e sed! You can start by hookig up the other bulb so both are on at low beam In the US, both bulbs come on at low beam anyway. So that's a really easy mod for us. ;) And I'm not sure that using yellow bulbs for…
- Anyone Using Hid Headlights? how does a device that uses LESS power result in MORE strain on the regulator/rectifier? It has to regulate whatever comes in from the stator, I don't believe it is affected by how much is drawn from the system.…

- Advice On Bike Bags I've used the Joe Rocket Manta - one thing to keep in mind with magnetic mounts: they might interfere with electronics and/or watches. If I put my watch in the tank bag, it got out of adjustment. It's a watch with both…
- Hard Luggage For A 4Th Gen thanks for the tips. I've sent a mail to the person selling the wingrack. Shad, SW-motech don't have anything for 4th gen. Rentec only has top-case Hepco and Beck look really nice and still have stuff for the 4th gen…
- Hard Luggage For A 4Th Gen To make my old faithful VFR perfect for me, it would need more HP (ok, ok, not really _need_ but an extra 50hp could be nice :) ) and more importantly some hard luggage. Commuting on the old girl with my lunch, gym bag,…
- Transformed Wow ! BaileyRock MadFrog Just to keep the thread alive... Last year on my 4th gen, I revalved my forks with Racetech gold compression and rebound and the suggested (on Racetech site) .95 front springs. I also upgraded to the…
