Hey from Perth Australia

I have a 98 VFR800, which I've had for 5 years. It was an accidental purchase, as I was looking for a Bandit at the time. Can't say I have any regrets though! I love the V4 and she is in great condition, with hardly a mark on her. Mods are Ballistic slip on, Zero Gravity screen , Pair removed, flapper valve and snorkel removed from air box. Future plans are new headers, turn signal mirrors and removal of the stock indicators, rear LED light cluster and fairing custom respray. C ya

 

Welcome!
Pictures are mandatory. :tongue:

 

Your quick on the draw, sir!

(And what's a flapper valve?)

 

The vacum operated solenoid on top of the air box that controls the variable air intake, just called it that cos its got a flap in it , yep. As far as pics go I'll get some on the iPad and share, none on here at the mo.

 

What's the benefit of deleting that (and the PAIR system)?
Sorry I am a little green when it comes to stuff like this.

 

The benefit of removing the two is more intake noise and weight loss. No performance gain.

No "smoothing" effect?
IDC about performance per se.. the VFR has more than enough power for me.
Smoother power delivery would be nice though (a dyno tune is in the future).

 

Check out the link. Definately worth doing, only took me a couple of hours, Drainfade is worth checking out too, it's also in this thread.
