I was just given a 2002 vfr800 vtech. Needs some top end work but that’s no problem for me. Other then that it’s mint, already has the power commander 3 and has been gone through. Got it from the original owner. I don’t see any issues other then what has been mentioned. I just wanted to Join the group and see what people’s opinions on this bike was and what are the common fixes or changes that are done. I already looked up the pair valve, flapper mod and snorkel. Haven’t done them yet or even looked to see if they were done, just got it a few hours ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Welcome to The World! So, when you say “given”, did you mean that someone gave it to you without any money exchanged? If so, I’d say that’s a hell of a deal! For your given situation, I.e. Power Commander 3, removing the PAIR valve setup should have been done to allow for a proper Dino tune but that being said, the snorkel mod essentially just makes the intake noise a bit louder but you’re welcome to give it a go if you like. As for other “mods” do a search on the forum for “The Drill”, you’ll see that the Achilles heal for these bikes is the Stator/RR. Replacing these with a new OEM Stator and MOSFET RR (See www.roadstercycle.com) you’ll be sure to have many trouble free miles ahead.
Yes it was gifted to me. A great friend of mine knew that I loved working on bikes. He bought it brand new but moved on to different bikes and it just sat around so he said just take it. Clean title and everything. I can’t wait to figure this beast out. I already have a 1986 Honda shadow 700, 2002 Honda vtx 1800 and now the 2002 vfr800. Thank you for the advice I will look into those. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
