The 600F4i fork was very close to the same as the 5G fork length. I have a slightly relaxed aproach to all this, as I also had the rear shock...
There's quite a few bis of the VFR that are considered "unserviceable" including the LBS parts, but you can add the fork dampers and the SMC...
If you download the service manual for the VFR, there is a full section (at the end of the manual, technical features) on how the different...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Like Terry had it. I sold that 5G a few years ago. This is my current toy, thanks to the PO it has a Nitron shock, 0.95kg/mm...
All correct I believe. The CBR fork is 43mm diameter so triples and bars need to be the same. The VFR 5G wheel, axle, spacers and discs are...
Forks are CBR600F4i. Callipers can be from the same but the best combo is the CBR954 calliper and 600RR master; better hydraulic ratio IMHO. I...
If you do the delinking properly, you can use all standard Honda parts, just from a mix of Honda bikes. I had a mix of CBR600F4 and 6G VFR parts...
I too would be wearing rubber gloves If I had to handle that calliper. You definitely need to look very closely at the SMC as it has likely either...
You are welcome Miguel. You may also have a stuck injector if the bike has sat with little use. The condition/colour of the spark plugs might give...
It does sound like something is up with your bike. I don't notice any fumes when riding mine (85000km). Do you get high fuel consumption? The ECM...
I agree with that diagnosis, sounds like the seal on the master cylinder piston has failed e.g. a crack or some debris is caught in it. A master...
I tried the flapper deactivation and it did nothing for me or my VFR...made a bit more noise at low revs from the airbox but I couldn't detect any...
I thought it might be alongside Lake Dunstan between Cromwell and Clyde.
Welcome Mark. I'm in the Other Island and have only ridden your area once on the way to the Burt Munro in 2018; certainly a fantastic area for...
I was following a good friend on his then-new GPz900R and his bike was intercepted by a blackbird (the feathery one, not a CBR1100XX) which hit...
I was working part-time at a Honda dealer while at University, and took quite the fancy to a pristine, second hand Vf750F. I persuaded the boss to...
I have had good results with Plastex repairs, or the two-part Permatex plastic weld epoxy works very well on ABS parts like fairings.
The ST1300 has a mechanically similar setup to the VFR, and owners that clock up big mileage. Here's a link to a useful guide....
A locking back brake is often a result of the secondary master cylinder on the left fork leg seizing up. The 800 has great brakes but they are not...
I'd say that is just a casting mark, not a flaw. This was my VFR.[ATTACH]
