All 48- Upper back pain Walker1, 3/21/2020 at 9:41 PM Sounds like a great idea and from what i can see on google they are abit higher! Any idea how much raise/backwoods they are compared to the vfr stock bars? Yes i feel you.. the back pain is…
- I have been working on the site this weekend. Thanks HS for the prod. Life had taken me away from VFRD for some time, but not my viffer - it asked me no questions needing help, so I got out of the habit of visiting the site.
- Upper back pain In order to help with my back problems on a 2001 VFR, prior to surgery, I fitted 2nd hand VF1000 bars in place of the standard viffer bars. Very little work required, very little cost and worked well. The idea came from…
- What if I remove the catalytic convertor? I've been researching the same conversion and assumed the two plugs shown on the right angled mixer in the parts explosion pic were for O2 sensors?
- OOooooerr... Something's happened enzed - If it's any consolation to you I am in a similar situation wrt contemplating having to give riding away due to a dodgy back, which whatever I do gives me grief after riding. I am sorry for you and I have enjoyed…
- Crossing Australia - Twice! Good on you Augo, Great report and the pics and map enhance the story. Bringing back memories of a similar ride in 2010 to the Ulysses AGM. Wonderful. Sure there is plenty of straight road across the Nullarbor but…
- Talk To Me About Fuse Blocks And Relays This is what I used: http://www.wiremybik...-kit-p-269.html Very simple, meets your requirements and affordable. My experience as well. Fitted 6+ years ago and has been reliable. Simplicity and compactness other…
- Electrical Issue Troubleshooting Truewheel, I'm not familiar with location of all the bits on 6th gen, only 3rd and 5th, however, you can test the Stator output and condition of wiring separately to RR. Your voltage readings are definitely too low.…
- Is This Brake Pedal Bent? Murphy says, 'Now you have a good spare handy straightening your existing won't break it' :goofy: Worked for me too, just do it gently and it should be fine.
- Consensus On Replacement Front Brake Rotor? I used these to replace a warped disc which I couldn't get perfectly straight again. So far so good. Brake feel is good. Straightforward fitting. Good delivery time and much cheaper than even 2nd hand down here. There…
- 6Th Gen Blows Fuse On Left Turn Signal [image: 5th gen brake switch connection.jpg] Good find. My 5th Gen is blowing the blinker, horn, stop lights fuse intermittently and some of the guesses to your problem about wiring in the front may help me track it…
- 6Th Gen Blows Fuse On Left Turn Signal Good find. My 5th Gen is blowing the blinker, horn, stop lights fuse intermittently and some of the guesses to your problem about wiring in the front may help me track it down. We aren't allowed to use amber lights for…
- More Water....... Looks like the cycling trips along the Danube last year was a good decision! Even so it rained heavily in Germany nearly the whole month we were there, Austria missed out, or should I see it missed us in the parts of…
- Fuel Pump Not Energizing After Horn Event. Relay Not Clicking According to my wiring diagrams (I have both Oz 2001 model and rest of world, 98-99 model, and this part of the wiring doesn't differ) there are two relays and the PGM/FI involved in the fuel pump circuit. You have a…
- How Screwed Am I, In Dollars? After a clutch slave cylinder clean-up recently I couldn't shift the air in the line until I started to give some fairly severe manipulations on the rubber line near the master cylinder. Worked the hose backwards and…
- Emancipation! [image: View Post]Riot Grrrl, on 05 October 2012 - 03:59 AM, said: Hopefully we haven't bitten off more than we can chew! Now that sounds like the definition of impossible for you, Lenna and Stewy. What a truly…
- Fuel Gauge Drops to Empty - Gas Tank Still Full. Thoughts? Ideas? kaldek High resistance = low fuel gauge reading. An open circuit reads totally empty. So, it's either a bad connection at the fuel level sender or a float issue. My money is on electrical gremlins, so raise the tank and…
- Fried ECU again, why??? Too high a voltage is not good for ECU's. Run a check on the charging voltages whilst you have the multimeter out. A new battery will survive high charging volts much better than sensitive devices like ECU's. If the…
- still in love I can relate to that. I keep dreaming about something different that will handle my ageing body better and provide more comfort on our excuse for roads in most of this great wide land down here, all whilst I am at home…
- Clutch Slip/Replacement I'd be inclined to be checking your clutch slave cylinder operation, clutch master cylinder, and the hydraulic oil within the clutch system with such low mileage but length of years of operation. A bit of stickiness…
- Automotive thermostat replacement for VFR800??? I remember a topic on this subject several years ago, can't remember which model of VFR nor do I recollect any discussion on the extra plate but whomever it was reported that all he could find in the size was a 91degC…
- What are your favorite heated grips?? Oxford Gripz. Slightly larger diameter than OEM. Work well and I use them a lot more than I ever thought I would. Heaters go on whenever the fingers are feeling cool where once I would have toughed it out. Haven't had…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR Yep that will be the reason for only a click when the GO button is pressed. See the link in reply #2 from mello dude info on what to look for around your charging circuit now your multimeter has new batteries to start…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR If the bike has started and run with the new harness I would be checking for loose connections around your starter motor circuit, battery and all earth points. There are earth conglomeration points (generally concerned…
- A 5th gen Compufire R/R adventure Unfortunately it isn't the wire size on the RR which is inadequate. It's the wiring of the bike. The plug/socket connection looks like an improvement.
- Oxford Heated Grips....any advice? If the supply to the switching contacts of the relay come direct from the battery through a fuse you shouldn't suffer much trouble with low voltage. Avoid picking up your supply from anywhere that runs through the…
- Wierd problem with 5th gen VFR I hope the crook batteries in your multimeter meant the charging figures were wrong? I believe the PGM FI controller is not too fond of high voltages (not trying to panic you but it has to be considered). How many K's…
- New owner, help troubleshooting charging system issue There has been much gone on in the RR world over the last couple of years and Wiremybike AKA Joshua supplies the most up to date RR's technology wise that Rick's makes, MOSFET components I seem to remember which handle…
- VFR 800 '98 charging issues If there is any shorted turns in the stator, inter-turn or to ground, you will not get equal volts from all phases loaded or unloaded. I reckon 4-5k rpm with headlights on in neutral standing still just about loads the…
- VFR 800 '98 charging issues You won't need to ride while testing the Stator output with a voltmeter, just rev to about 4 - 5000 rpm. Make sure all combinations of Yellow to Yellow AC Volts are the same. The fact that you get high DC volts as well…
- New owner, help troubleshooting charging system issue The three yellow wire connections you tested the stator resistance from can also be used to check the stator volts with the engine running. It won't hurt the stator to do the test with the plug pulled on the RR. You…
- Installing 2006+ ECU and motor on 2002-2005 6th-gen Well done Kaldek this post is almost as epic as the one a couple of years ago when a lawyer sucked us all in whilst he extracted a new VFR out of Honda. Congrats you are a persistent b-----d. I'm hoping for it all to…
- Coolent temp/Coolent system problem? Sounds like a stuck or nearly stuck thermostat to me. Does it take longer to reach operating temperature after a cool down?
- Just Installed a Compufire Series Regulator [/quote] ......................................... I realized that if you mount it like the above pic's the fins are running the wrong way for cooling air flow, yes.....no? [/quote] Keeping the RR at the temperature of…
- Does anyone do long rides with stock seat? Airhawk works for me. Steer clear of the cruiser sized items. And take careful note of the minimalist inflation instructions
- Urethra, I found it!!! Each of the groups already has a wire going to ground somewhere on the bike, just solder the the wires in each group together, or connect to 2 connection blocks and the wiring will maintain it's integrity for whatever…
- What Have I Done to my Clutch? You will need to return the clutch cylinder with a rod or screwdriver to it's home position. What you have probably done is moved it further than it has ever been before and got it into a place where it sticks too much…
- Mom's Mabley We might be on the other side of the road but driver behaviour is just the same down under. Although the plethora of "Safety cameras" being installed at intersections may make a difference. Double jeopardy - speed and…
- I'm now the owner of a second motorcycle [image: View Post]Lee 2002, on 28 November 2010 - 05:28 PM, said: It's an attention getter for sure. I think it's because of the sound and smoke... My buddy Doug says the "Nuclear Yellow" paint helps too. It's just as…
- Time To Rebuild The VF1000R...IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats, that is one awesome custom bike. I hope you are very proud of yourself at this stage and not too tied up in "what's next". I think everyone on this site would be happy to own that bike. :fing02:
- Will this work to cool my RR, or am I wasting my time I'd reckon you would be better investing the time in repositioning the RR into an airstream somewhere, mounted where the metal isn't heated by the motor :biggrin:
- What can cause stator to go bad? +1.gif AND if the previously failed RR had been shunting too much to ground whilst it was failing it may have caused more heat in those varnished wires making up the stator. (There are too many possibilities of…
- 96 VFR750 Engine Tick Is it still there whatever position the clutch is in?
- Self Introduction G'day Tom, Just come back from a trip to Albany return on my 5th Gen, for the Ulysses AGM, and loved every minute of it. Very comfortable, much more so than some of the positions I've been in the week since detailing…
- Unexpected Vfr Sighting [quote This is the weirdest place my girlfriend ever saw my VFR....seemed pretty normal to me though!! quote] Nice and cozy for the winter, fireplace and gas heater :laugh:
- ? Fork Seal Leak orgndnr The last few days I have noticed a very fine film of oil on my left fork after a ride. I presume the seals leak. My question is, do I have to replace them right away with such a small leak, how soon will it get…
- New Interceptor Finally Breaks Cover! Wot no NACA. Shame
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System I have a 3rd Gen with only 50k km travelled and whilst reading this post right through last week and smugly thinking all this garbage doesn't happen on older well settled bikes (I have a working life of…
