First gen VFR in white - 700 or 750 - it IS the ultimate motorbike. Period.
The irony here is that key drivers behind the engineering of the first gen. VFR 750 was Honda's desire to beat the VF750 by offering more power...
Interesting point. The thing is, my 86 can carry loads of weight, it makes almost as much power as the current VFR800 yet it weighs 27kg less....
Yeah, weight is the enemy of a motorbike. Why the VFR800 has to be so heavy is beyond me. I mean, it's not as if it has to deal with 150 rampaging...
In 1986 when the first gen VFR 750 arrived it offered the same horse power (give or take a few BHP) as a Suzuki GSXR 750. It offered about 95% of...
I worked out the number for one of the bearings by taking measurements of the recess within which it would be located. For the other I used the...
Thanks for the help. Well, I have got it sorted. The needle bearing code is 1725 and 2 are needed. The other needle bearing in the pro-link...
Thanks. Honda don't give any information on the bearing in their parts fiche, manual or parts diagram. In fact they don't even list the bearing...
Oh dear. A friend of mine removed the two needle bearings from this part (I could not get them out...):...
Time for an update. Electrexworld were telling the truth. There is nothing wrong with their RR! I tested it myself by hooking up my multi-meter...
Even though I asked for a refund, Electrex have returned my RR!! A test report certificate done by someone called Russell came with it stating...
I'm just waiting for Electrex to credit my account and my bike is still off the road languishing in my leaky garage. In the meantime I've been...
I'm no expert on these things but it sounds like your battery is goosed! By the way, I like the look of your FH VFR! Looks good in that silver...
That's weird! What do you get from the battery with the engine off? I get 12.5 volts.
Thanks for the helpful post! The Electrex World reg/rec has been returned and I have asked for a refund. I've just tested my generator. I got...
Ok. I'll send it back. Thanks for your help!
I've just checked the diodes on the Electrex World rectifier and they are all spot on which means it must not be faulty after all. Or, are there...
Thanks for the reply! Oh blimey, so it looks like the new rectifier is the problem. I have sent an email to Electrex World to see what they...
...nothing new there, I know. It is a VFR after all and the rectifier did last 31 years on my VFR 750FG. I was chugging along when my bike just...
