No thermostat = slower warm-up, and when running with decent airflow, sub-optimal coolant temperature. I doubt it will affect idle in any way.
I had another opportunity for a mid-winter ride yesterday, after a foggy start the sun came out and dried most of the dew from the roads so I...
We have a handy website called Carjam which accesses data from the government records; all vehicles have to have a Warrant of Fitness test...
That sounds like a great trip, thanks for the invitation. I suppose I could ship a spare VFR to Europe for the occasions...
There's still time mate.
Sorry SS; I have to call you out on that reference, you are referring to another classic involving the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, and Tim the...
I think two wires to each terminal is probably correct as long as they're the same colour.

Should be just the two wire colours involved, Green/Red on the input side and Light Green/Red on the output side. [ATTACH]
I have now covered about 500km since installing the new shock. All I can say is that I thought the old shock was all right (aside from being...
You are right, the exhaust is a 4-1, then splits to the two mufflers, so any temperature difference is just down to airflow difference after the...
Good luck Plezier. I guess the service history is a bit hit or miss as even this bike is 18 years old. Listen for camchain noise (a clattering a...
There is only a single dogbone on the VFR linkage, along with the two triangular side plates. I know that on the 800, you can reposition the side...
Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery.
The idle speed will increase naturally as the engine warms up; the fuel vapourises better so you get more combustion, so I wouldn't be too...
Drilling holes is all part of the fun with emulators Mike. I recall I had to do 6 x 8mm holes on my 86 VFR forks?
The wiring diagram certainly only shows the clock on fuse F feeding a red/green wire. That wire runs through a green 10P block which also connects...
There is a rebooted VFRDiscussion.nl site now online, and it has an upload/download files section. I saved a lot of service manual content from...
That's a CBR600RRRRRR, so will definitely be on a 5.5" rear rim as stock.
The red white and blue 6th gen is a factory colour scheme, as is solid silver for a 5th gen. I tried some of those bar risers and they didn't...
