I have a VFR750fr she has about 75,000 miles on the clock but is developing a worrying rattle, when idling at the lights in neutral there is a rattling noise that disappears when I pull the clutch, seems to be coming from the top end. I know this is a very general description but I wondered if anyone had any experience of something similar with these. ]]> Maintenance Cyberwrighty http://vfrworld.com/forums/maintenance/27466-clutch-not.html http://vfrworld.com/forums/maintenance/27392-handebar-pinch-bolt-torque.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:27:55 GMT Hi, I have just received my genmar bar risers for my vfr 800 fi-y 2000 model but didnt get any instructions, could someone tell me the correct... Hi,

I have just received my genmar bar risers for my vfr 800 fi-y 2000 model but didnt get any instructions, could someone tell me the correct torque setting in foot pounds for the 8mm pinch bolt which attaches the handlebars to the top of the fork leg, thanks ]]> Maintenance panman http://vfrworld.com/forums/maintenance/27392-handebar-pinch-bolt-torque.html http://vfrworld.com/forums/maintenance/27285-brake-fluid-change-5th-generation.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:35:33 GMT Hi,

I'm soon ready to change my brake fluid on my 1999 VFR and find both the Honda service manual and the Haynes manual confusing. The Honda manual only shows a picture of bleeding the upper bleed valve on the right front caliper for the front brakes, and makes no mention of bleeding both right and left calipers, which I see elsewhere is required. The Haynes manual describes manual but not vacuum bleeding. I've read bits and pieces on here and on VFRdiscussion, but I'm still a bit confused.

In any case...Members here have mentioned draining the old fluid from the reservoir, filling it with new, and sucking the old (and eventually new) fluid through the bleeding valves with a MityVac or other vacuum device. I understand that the negative pressure from the device will avoid air entering the system from the bleeding valves. That makes sense to me.

My questions are:

1. Do I need to squeeze the front lever and/or rear pedal at all in this process above? Why or why not?

2. For the rear brakes, can I just drain the old fluid from the reservoir, fill with new, and suck the old (and eventually new) fluid for each of the five bleed valves?

Many thanks for any thoughts on this and other ideas/tips. Also, if there's a detailed how-to on here (or elsewhere) that I missed, please let me know. Maybe I've read all the info I need on here and I'm making the process too complicated, but I'm still confused. ]]> Maintenance mnpottier http://vfrworld.com/forums/maintenance/27285-brake-fluid-change-5th-generation.html
