  1. 750 flat spot 24 Jul 2025 14:20 I had similar problems after I cleaned and oiled my K&N filter. I used too much oil and the filter became restrictive. Took awhile to figure that one out.
  2. Carburetor compression spring 11 Jun 2025 15:18 I am pretty sure that the kitten left it there while you were posting your message to VFRD
  3. Double checking - 4th Gen rear axle assembly 30 Jan 2021 02:40 You can Download the Honda Service manual here: Pages 13-3 and 13-4 in the Honda Service manual will show the rear axle. I think that it is item 14 in your Clymer manual, labeled "dust seal"
  4. Seat cowl lug repair 29 Jan 2021 06:11 If you still have the lug, I would glue it back with ABS glue and then use something like Plastifix to reinforce the joint. The bodywork is made of ABS and ABS glue is just ABS dissolved in a solvent.
  5. What's bolted to the back off the footage mount? 22 Jan 2021 22:56 Does it look like #12 in this picture? Partzilla lists it as: WEIGHT, L. STEP, 50703-MT4-000
  6. Gear Indicator 21 Jan 2021 03:33 2 hours ago, raYzerman I don't know what you have on the 750, but the Gen5 has a removable cover on either side above the dash (hides windshield attachments). I made an angle bracket, attached with one screw plus 3M…
  7. Gear Indicator 20 Jan 2021 19:20 7 hours ago, scottbott [image: IMG_1354.thumb.jpg.8196d776c442d443390c928785982bda.jpg] Your mounting bracket reminds me of the one TriumphTraitor made for 6th gens. I am curious about how you mounted that bracket.
  8. Clutchin ain’t EZ 13 Jan 2021 18:21 The outer clutch basket is driven by the engine and the inner clutch basket is connected to the transmission. With the clutch disks removed, the inner basket should spin freely when in neutral should spin with the rear…
  9. Carb Gurus - Question on Choke (enrichment) passages 1 Jan 2021 05:33 Since you have the carbs upside down on the bench, have you tried letting some carb cleaner soak the jets overnight? Maybe slip a short clear tube over the jet and fill it up with carb cleaner to give it a good soak.
  10. Adhesive for repairing ABS fairing material on 1993 ver 750 23 Dec 2020 02:27 In the US, glue for ABS pipe that you can buy at the home store is ABS dissolved in Methyl Ethyl Ketone and Acetone. Edited December 23, 2020 by COS_VFR left out a word

  12. Side Stand 8 Oct 2020 16:45 1 hour ago, Cogswell When I was in Australia, my driving routine was to come to an intersection and signal a turn with my windshield wipers I completely understand, while in Australia, every time I signaled a turn with…
  13. These bikes aren't getting any younger... 28 Sep 2020 21:19 If you go through the trouble to replace the coolant hoses under the carbs, I would replace the o-rings and gaskets on the pipes.
  14. Pair valve delete kit 26 Sep 2020 02:10 These are the one I bought for my 4th gen. https://www.bellissimoto.com/parts/engine/emissions-removal/tpo-emissions-pair-system-removal-kit-for-vfr750-1 Be sure to make sure that there are 4 plates instead of the…
  15. Rescuing a '92 VFR750F 25 Sep 2020 00:36 2 hours ago, damionj It was just an operational check. Making sure the starter and electronics were working. The air box arrived. Of course, it’s missing a hose connector. I’m modeling and 3D printing a new one. Should…
  16. Rescuing a '92 VFR750F 18 Sep 2020 21:19 I think the first thing that I would do is get a shop vac and suck as much dirt out of the carbs, and intake ports as possible. I wouldn't even try and turn the crank until as much dirt as possible is pulled from the…
  17. Rescuing a '92 VFR750F 18 Sep 2020 19:01 21 minutes ago, damionj [image: 20200918_170029044_iOS.thumb.jpg.850e1a9af433ddc69c15f79d4ef38c73.jpg] Was the airbox attached to the carbs??
  18. Motorcycle not accelerating properly in high RPMs. 1 Sep 2020 04:52 It sounds like the clutch is slipping. When this happened to me a couple of years ago, it was a clogged return port in the master cylinder. There is a small whole in the master cylinder under a small stamped…
  19. Saving topic discussion threads 11 Aug 2020 18:30 I am not sure what browser you are using, but in Chrome you can right click and pick the "save as" option. It will save a "html file" and a folder with additional files. The problem is threads that have more than one…
  20. 12v Power outlet plug mount/USB mount 30 Jul 2019 02:45 Rescue119, I am curious to know how visible the voltmeter is in the sunlight. I have a meter that looks similar to the one Marooncobra has and it was hard to read in the sun.
  21. 1995 - Stops charging when warm 3 Jul 2019 01:16 When you mention the frame getting hot, are you talking about the subframe where the Regulator is mounted? If it is too hot to touch, it sounds like the regulator is sinking too much current and getting too hot. I…
  22. 1995 - Stops charging when warm 13 Jun 2019 18:41 The wiring harness has a ground point on the right side of the frame not too far from the stator plug. The ground from the battery is connected on the left side of the bike near the front of the motor. Check out page…
  23. 2 caps screwed on the right side, mid fairing? 25 Apr 2019 16:24 I assume that based on the last picture, you are asking about the Oil Filler Cap and the Oil Dipstick.
  24. carb cleaning on the bike? 10 Apr 2019 01:15 The photo is on VFRD, but hard to find. When I am searching for pictures on VFRD I use google and the site: option, like this: site: www.vfrdiscussion.com carb Then pick images at the top of the page that google…
  25. carb cleaning on the bike? 9 Apr 2019 21:42 If you take a look at this picture, I think that #10 and #12 are between the throttle linkages. I drew an arrow pointing to the one on the right. The one on the left is hidden in this picture. [image: carbs.png]
  26. carb cleaning on the bike? 8 Apr 2019 21:54 Its hard to tell how big it is, but there are some springs between the throttle linkages, look at #10 and #12 on this picture. [image: Capture.PNG]
  27. GIVI Cases?? 1 Feb 2019 16:18 Givi case are part of a system. I have a wingrack which is a MonoKey system, so any Monokey case will fit my rack. I can even fit the side case on top, or the top case on the side, although it will look kinda funny if I…
  28. GIVI Cases?? 31 Jan 2019 17:49 Lanny, I have a V46 topcase and two E41 sidecases on my '96. [image: Both.jpg] [image: E41_side.jpg] [image: V46.jpeg] [image: E41.jpg]
  29. 4th gen Carb Vacuum Pistons Group Buy 24 Oct 2018 19:51 OI don't know if this helps, but looking at Partzilla, part number 16111-MZ1-000 is the vacuum, pistion for the '94-'97 VFR750F and '94-'95 CB1000A.
  30. 4th gen Carb Vacuum Pistons Group Buy 22 Oct 2018 23:28 Yoshi, I am currently in for 1, increase it to 2.
  31. Mystery fork caps 29 Sep 2018 03:52 There are spacers under the handle bars to raise them up a bit. There are tubes added to hide the fact that the handlebars have been raised and the caps cover the tubes. You should be able to get a utility knife under…
  32. 4th gen Carb Vacuum Pistons Group Buy 2 Aug 2018 00:49 YoshiHNS, Count me in for one (1) set.
  33. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 13 Jul 2018 22:25 Rangemaster and I made it across Nebraska and most of East Colorado, parting ways at 2:40p in Limon, CO. I just rolled into the garage at 4p. Tony was right it was a great event.
  34. 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 31 May 2018 02:32 And as one cancels , another one finally gets off the fence and confirms. Brenda tells me that the Rocket Motel has one Queen room left and two family rooms left if anyone else is out there trying to decide.
  35. RC36.2 (4th Gen) Fuel Injection discussion 2 Dec 2017 05:52 I stumbled across this NC30 Fuel injection project: https://blog.familjenjonsson.org/blog/2015/05/22/microsquirting-the-nc30-part-1-of-many/ A long but detailed account. -Gordon
  36. vibration-proof grips 14 Nov 2017 04:23 Have you considered heavier bar ends, some people think that it reduces the vibration. Others think that it just changes the frequency, either one might help your problem.
  37. Quick question 18 May 2017 04:17 I had good luck with these: https://tpoparts.com/cat093/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=S-0062&category_id=0&product_id=53 Can't remember if the rubber caps that they included fit the airbox though.
  38. Removing coke plunger 30 Dec 2016 20:53 I think the choke linkage comes of the 4th Gen carbs relatively easy, but it's been over a year since I had them apart and I did a complete teardown.
  39. Removing coke plunger 30 Dec 2016 00:34 It has been awhile since I had the carbs apart on my 4 Gen, but I think i just unscrewed the black nut.
  40. Someone help? 24 Sep 2016 02:43 Have you checked to make sure that the filler cap vent is not clogged? If you can run it again until it loses power, then open the filler cap and see if it runs better before it cools down.
  41. 4th Gen Fork Flex 25 Jun 2016 15:03 40 minutes ago, Lannyl81 I read from past postings that someone made a fork brace for the VFR....but that was quite some time ago and in doing a search I found none to fit my '97. I will search ebay every so often just…
  42. Cell phone holder for 97 Honda VFR 750? 13 May 2016 00:16 8 hours ago, 97VFR750F I like the idea of installing on the steering stem. Can you recommend the part numbers that fit our VFR's the best? I bought the steering stem mount from RAM and if I was to do it all over again I…
  43. 4Th Gen Hesitation At 4K 26 Jul 2015 07:05 Does it hesitate in each gear? I guess I hit post before I answered that. It hesitates/surges in multiple gears, not just 1st, but I don't think that I have tried all 6.
  44. 4Th Gen Hesitation At 4K 26 Jul 2015 06:39 Does it hesitate in each gear? In my test rides since I first noticed the issue don't think I have tried past 3rd. Perhaps surging is a better description. When I roll on the throttle at about 4k it feels like 1 or 2…
  45. 4Th Gen Hesitation At 4K 26 Jul 2015 06:13 But when I accelerate under load, once I get to about 4k, there is hesitation as if it is only running on 2-3 cylinders. This!! You should be only under 4k in first gear, sometimes second in the local suburbs. After…
  46. 4Th Gen Hesitation At 4K 26 Jul 2015 05:46 I am running out of Ideas trying to solve a hesitation problem with my '96. It idles fine and comes off choke very quickly. In neutral, not under load it revs easily. But when I accelerate under load, once I get to…
  47. 4Th Gen Fuel Lines 9 Jul 2015 02:55 Last year I had to replace all the rubber pieces on the carbs of my 4th Gen. Had no problem getting the Orings and gaskets from Partzilla, but the two fuel lines that connect the front carbs and back carbs were…
