Has the bike been sitting for a while? If so, gummed up carbs and jets could be a problem. I guess it would be good if you share a bit of history...
Hm, not sure I get how it can blow flames through injectors? Can you explain please?
You did do a recent sync of throttle bodies and idle speed adjustment, didn't you? :)
+1 for rebuilding carbs - you do not want to risk failrure on the road in the middle of nowhere, and with bike sitting for so long, all the seals...
Get a cooling system pressure tester from your local auto store, usually they will have them as a loaner tool as well. Take radiator cap off, put...
Hm, if you had a stuck ring, you would get oil regardless of VTEC engagement. If it happens only with VTEC, intake stem seal might be bad. Water...
EvilStig, it DOES look like your cams are off a tooth. You are probably correct, previous owner was adjusting clearance (replacing shims) and did...
A bit late with info, I installed this on my 98 VFR a while back: Amazon.com: HID Xenon Headlight Conversion Kit by Kensun, H4 Dual-Beam...
Sometimes starter relay fails as well, not unheard of. Is there a "click" when you press the starter button on the right handlebar? Click sound is...
Good way to loosen up loctite or thread locker is to heat up the nut itself to something in the ~160-180F. Good heat gun will do. Then use a long...
Hm, I guess different strokes for different folks. I never had any issues with brake cleaner affecting seals on anything built after 1980. Carb...
While you are at it, you may want to pull apart the slave cylinder as well. Over time, with fluid not being changed, coat of rust forms and...
Hm, steel has much more resistance than both copper and aluminum, so I really doubt it is used as a conductor ....... anywhere :confused:
I have 1998 VFR, and I have changed all the brake pads in all the calipers, both front and rear. I have used EBC 261 HH. These pads will fit...
You could get by without pulling any plastics, but I would remove left fairing, since it will be easier to work on the slave cylinder. The only...
Forgot to mention to use good DOT4 fluid, cheaper store brands usually do not have enough rust inhibitors and break down quicker.
ridervfr, water does not jive well with brake fluid. Actually, brake fluid absorbs water readily, which is the main reason rust is present when...
With that color of fluid, and that much rust, I would take things apart and clean, clean, clean. Take apart master cylinder, slave cylinder, and...
Quick update to the post above, I just checked the FSM for 98 VFR, and cylinder #1 is the reference for bypass valves. FYI, bypass valves are...
Actually, 98 VFR does not have oxygen/lambda sensors, this was added in 2000 to improve emissions at lower rpm, since PAIR alone was not enough,...
Separate names with a comma.
