- 4th gen carb: turns of screw? Sorry, hands full with maintenance and no time to revise the forum for info. How many turns out of the carburettor mix screw are you guys finding works on the 4th gen? Manual appears to indicate 1 - 5/8 but ain't doin'…

- Exhaust VideoGuy Wasn't trying to be harsh, just a correction. I find a shop rag sprayed with WD-40 works great on the wheels for removing most road and chain splatter. Also seems to leave an invisible film that makes it easier…

- 5th & 6th VFR 800 Header build The biggest hurdle I see here is the division of the target audience over 3 or 4 continents or geopolitical areas: 1. USA/Canada 2. Australia. 3. UK 4. Europe CSK are located in the UK so probably economically viable…
- Exhaust 10 hours ago, Rectaltronics Turns out finding kerosene in NYC can be a little tricky. Next time I take a good road trip... Thanks. It's often disguised as "Liquid Paraffin"... often sold in garden sections or hardware…
- 1998 brake system service VFROZ I don't think you're reading that drawing correctly. The 6G still uses the centre rear piston. You just can't bleed it via front lever, (you can't on the 5G either), you need to squeeze the secondary master to do…
- 1998 brake system service My bad. I knew there was an increased bias in the distribution of hydraulic pressure to the front brakes in the CBS system from the 5th to the 6th gen. Nonetheless it went from one piston on the right to none, on…
- 1998 brake system service 17 hours ago, Charlie Not sure whats going on with this... I have just focused on bleeding the front right centre nipple with a vacuum pump and just get a little fluid and loads of bubbles Doing this over the last few…

- I could not ride today because ... MaxSwell I've gotten to the AGE that when it is not necessary to ride, if it's 90F+ I'll find another way to get around. Fixed that for you Agent 86
- Pardon The Nudity... Summa cum laude
- FAULTY GROUND CONNECTOR My advice is that this would appear to be a separate topic to the present thread and it may be beneficial to start a separate topic for this matter.
- FAULTY GROUND CONNECTOR Link to 5th gen equivalent: https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/66045-urethra-i-found-it/&do=embed&comment=773553&embedComment=773553&embedDo=findComment#comment-773553
- FAULTY GROUND CONNECTOR Yes to another ground wire. You can't see electrons so you can't judge the effectiveness of a connector with your eyes. That's why someone invented multimeters. Again the advice of this thread, is firstly, read the…
- FAULTY GROUND CONNECTOR Trygve Found it! Thanks. Its in good nick. Will wait and see what Honda says, re recall. Then attack it with a soldering iron. In the mean time I've got panels to fix and then paint. How thick a wire did you use from…
- VFR800 03 many electrical issues Sounds like multiple issues not from a common source I would hazard to guess. Firstly, 2003 model... Get in touch with a Honda dealer and have them check via the VIN if the wiring harness recall was done. If not, have…
- Rad fan swap for 1999 VFR If my whatchamacallit doesn't fail me, the SP1 fan is the one you want, not the SP2 one. The info is on the forum in a thread somewhere...if people used the same thread instead of opening new ones the info would all be…
- No headlights and other weird electrical stuff going on Further Upstream from that blue connector hidden in the front wiring harness under the black electrical tape they use to wrap the wiring loom along the left hand side branch of the front fairing stay or bracket there is…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? VARIABLE9 Today used my new TubO’Towels to clean my wheels after a 500mi trip last week. 90 towels for about $10, took 10 to clean the wheels. So I’ll get nine uses from the tub at about $1 and change each wheel…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Urbanengineer It went pretty well except for them freaking out about me having a center stand. The track org made me try to take it off which I was fine with... only to realize I had to remove the whole rear exhaust…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? The 6th gen is an electricians nightmare
- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 It's the 6th gens that fry stators. 5th gens fry R/Rs. I have only seen 2x 5th gen stators go south compared to hundreds of 6th gen ones. If concerned do the multimeter tests for Stator output on all 3 phases and check…
- 6th Gen doesn't start. Cranks but does not prime Shouldn't they be 30 A fuses? Or do you have a VFRness from Wiremybike?
- non start, no spark ¡¡Olé olé olé!!
- non start, no spark Kev800 Cam pulse generator tested at 15 M ohms the wire was green all the way down to the sensor. I have ordered a used one from eBay for now because it was £12 instead of £200 if the bike runs I will invest in a brand…
- After my last chain slack adjustment I'm now at replace chain mark: BTW, fix the spelling in your thread's title... and try to keep titles concise, short and sweet, relevant key words... Helps future searches for info
- non start, no spark In either case, check this common ground bus connector with a multimeter and just do the fix regardless, it's a generic issue, even if you've swapped out the front wiring harness / loom.…

- After my last chain slack adjustment I'm now at replace chain mark: Don't use WD40, it ruins the o-rings. Kerosene is best. Liquid paraphin it's often called... or parafin or however you spell it. Dense, thick, sticky greases trap all those grinding agents (dust, dirt, salt, grit, etc)…
- 6th Gen - Blue Connector Ground Fix - How To. Richie, It's worth asking at a dealership. It is improved but it still has a weak link which I encourage everyone to apply a fix to. It's a crappy common ground connector in that front subharness which the only…
