Actually had about 500 miles less when I bought it. It had been a garage queen / track day bike and was almost spotless.
Dual carbon cans. Best sounding I've ever heard. Looks good, too. It does require modifying just about everything back of the gas tank, and Wolf's...
Held in place with a zip tie. On/off switch on dash.
Keeping the R/R cool. Mounted to the passenger peg bracket.
This connector can cause weird problems all ver the bike, esp. with the instruments. I cut it off and soldered all the wires together and added an...
Photos of some of the mods / work on my 2001.
The service manual in PDF form is available online. I did a search here for "service manual" in title and found several links. Haven't heard of...
The 2-wire plug behind the R/R on my 2001 is the code reading connector. It reads 5V and when shorted tells the engine control computer to flash...
I might add the cruiser only has an overheat idiot light. I installed a gauge to see how it compares with the VFR. I love the VFR, though. Now...
My VF750C is almost identical to the VFR's layout as far as cooling goes, except the radiator is thicker and front mounted. It holds a steady 180F...
Ritchy is onto something. What he's describing is a crude version of a series regulator. That's how they work, but they work on all three phases,...
A car alternator and some bike alternators like the old oil-cooled Suzukis use a DC-excited electromagnet for the alternator's rotor instead of...
A couple of weeks ago I was stuck in Austin I-35 traffic and engine heated up to 235F with fan going. As traffic thinned out and sped up, the temp...
Cam gears are at the side on 5th gen, but the sound is still there. I looked for a 5th gen myself, figure it's the best for my kind of riding, and...
Here's another Magna forum: http://v4musclebike.com/forums/index.php? and: http://www.magnaownersoftexas.com/main.htm
I have these on my V4s. Put them on last year. So far, so good. They run cool and no more dead / exploding batteries....
To identify a thermostat which fits the 5th gen and probably others, it is 44mm / 1.73in. dia at the flange and 82C / 180F temperature rating....
Replaced thermostat today on my 2001. I propped the tank up and bungied the airbox bottom to it, so the coils and hoses at the back of the airbox...
Just FYI, my VF750C (3rd gen Magna) had a R/R failure like your VFR. Boiled battery, burnt out lightbulbs, etc. It had a 5-wire (sensor wire)...
A couple of possibilities: first, the battery. Your R/R isn't designed to charge a lithium battery. It puts out the right voltage for a 6 cell...
