VFRs run hot. It's perfectly normal. The little overheat bar doesn't start blinking until 250. If that happens, you'll know you have a actual...
Have you tried bleeding the brakes? If the pads are still within spec, that's where I'd start. However, keep in mind that bleeding the...
1 Yes. The oxygen sensor-equipped bikes go into closed loop mode under certain running conditions (warmed up, cruising down the highway). 2...
All 5th Gen VFRs run hot (do a search and you'll see what I mean) especially in stop-and go traffic on a really hot day. This is because the fan...
I beleive that substituting a 6th Gen Honda front sprocket on a 5th Gen will get you one less tooth... I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm...
That's fine as long as the tire manufacturer's rating is taking into account the MODEL of bike on which the tires are installed. If not, you...
Testing something...
Hmmm... I just checked it by clicking and it still works fine for me. Maybe it's some sort of browser/popup blocker issue? Perhaps if you cut...
I agree with Vman...textbook symptom of early R/R failure, but there'a also a chance it could be your battery or your stator. First thing I'd do...
I believe their logic was that a fan that sucked when sitting still blew less hot air at the rider when he was in stop & go traffic. Sadly, I...
The fan reverses direction automatically when the bike reaches 8-10 MPH or so and blows air the other way. This is why most Gen 5 VFRs are fine...
225 Degrees F is nothing to fret about. Almost all VFRs run hot. Perfectly normal. This has been covered a million times. Do a search....
I guess this is pretty common on early generation fuel injection systems on motorcycles. It comes about because an engine needs to be carbureted...
Very happy with my micron slip-on. It's light, sounds awesome (not too loud), and is very high-quality. HTH, Jake
98 VFR800 requires 87 octane (calculated using the RMX2 method).
But... Doesn't the PCIII just have functionality (closed loop, O2 sensor, etc.) that the old-school, open loop EFI system on the Gen 5s wouldn't...
I got low-to-mid forties stock. Now that I've installed a PCII, Micron slip-on, and went down a tooth on the front sprocket, I only get high...
VFRs run hot. They're desinged that way. Temps into the 230s are very common in hot weather/stop and go traffic. Unless your little red bar...
Uhm, O.K. :P
That is weird. 5th Gen VFRs all have a bit of vibration around 5500 RPM, but mine is as smooth as buttah from 3k to 5k. My guess is that your...
