I am 55 and have had my VFR for 9 years, No thought of giving it up. It probably now sees more RPM past 10,000 than it ever did when I first got it
The cheap way is to remove the carbs and do it yourself. I did this job on a friends VF500 just yesterday ( it was running on just two...
yes, the fault is that the drive socket wears and does not engage with the sprocket bolt. Mine did the same thing some years back. Remedy was...
Bob, The outlet position is the same for cat or non cat headers, so same pipe fits both types. Yes if ever the aus $ goes back to being...
Long ago I went to my local Honda dealer and ordered spare bolts and clips for each type of faster on the fairing and front fender. Have used up...
Sorry, I misunderstood your earlier post. I believe all 98 & 99 models came without the cat, except for those in Euro or California markets....
Ok, lets ride somewhere someday! Illawarra riders are a great crowd if you want to check out their site.
Are you sure you are talking of a Staintune? There is no "baffle' in a Staintune pipe. Only the removable exhaust plug which is about 2"- 3"...

Very strange things happening. Got home after 3 months at work and after charging the battery took my 99 VFR800 out for a run. Lazily up the...
Here we go again bagging the best looking graphics ever put on a Honda. I suppose you reckon Hailwood's RC174 was butt ugly too?
Am pleased with what I read on this thread. Eight years ago I was casting around for a bigger bike and the choice came down to an SV650 and the...
Surging can also result from a clogged air filter - unlikely though as the air filter would have to be very dirty to bring on the condition.
1. NO - Honda have gone the opposite direction to what I wanted. This bike is not in the VFR tradition aside from some similar design features and...
Agree with most of the others on this thread. 17/43 is perfect gearing for the 99 VFR - do not change it. The speedo should show 24kph/1000rpm...
My suggestion is to remove the ECM, and hold it in your hand while you start the bike. Then jiggle each wire to see if you can reproduce the...
I think my thread was in Mechanics garage titled "VFR 800 cutting out" But I would do a search with the words "FI light" - you will turn up a...
