The engine coolant temperature sensor is plugged into the back of the front head down low in the v, left hand side. At 80C the resistance should...

The bike sounds like it comes with some good extra bits. VFR's are in general very mechanically reliable. The 6th gen's occasionally have cam...
OK I was close but not exact. From the service manual: 1 Turn ignition off 2. Install the jumper wire 3. Turn ignition on 4. Pull the jumper out...
There's a small black 2 pin female connector at the left rear on the standard loom. You stick a wire across the contacts and( from memory) turn...
I had something similar when I forgot to reconnect either the MAP sensor or it's hose. The bike started right up and idled OK, but ran ragged when...
The SH lowers are very easy, the hardest bit is making up brackets so you can reuse the 5G fender, the rest is bolt-on. I already had SH lowers as...
I've read that the F4 forks are 10mm longer than the F4i. They certainly have different part numbers.
I believe F4 (not F4i) forks are basically the same length as the 5G. I'm a little tempted to do this myself. I just bought some 6G bars for $1!...

I also looked up the part numbers for the fork inner tube, they're the same for all 6th gen years but....the lower fork case is the same for...

You can do a basic "does it work?" test on the thermostat function with it installed on the bike, starting with a cold engine. If everything is...
Gorgeous; much too pretty to go on track, and almost a shame to cover up all that beautiful work with the fairings!
No experience with Bikemaster parts, but new fork seals usually take some mallet work to get properly seated. Make sure the fork tube top is free...
Grumpy is correct about the function of the R/R, when the current drain is lower, the R/R has to shed more energy in the form of heat. I have the...
The VFR has an air vent pipe (smaller diameter) and an overflow pipe (larger diameter) which terminate just below the alternator. The air vent...
I reckon all wet clutch plates will have some stick, just from the cold oil film between them. Once they're moving against each other this mostly...
I have a Cyclops Motorsports 3800 lumen LED in my VTR1000F. Awesome light output, no complaints from oncoming vehicles, however I have a connector...
If the bikes been sitting for any time the plates stick together. It takes a little jolt to break them free. Once free I can easily roll the bike...
