I have never been to any shop to service my viffer in my 40+k mileage within 1.5 years of ownership, except during run-in period. After see-ing the way they pour EO, thats the reason why I never went to shops. Always overfill, make me buy extra bottle for nothing, and dirty my whole airbox + filter

 

Oh yah....Only went to unity to change tire... wanted to share $$ buy the tire changing machine..then again.. mnah, bo hua..

 

 

PS : Sorry... forgot to change log-in account...

Either after each EO (my panniers), or consolidated numerous EO change in 1 big gigantic container (use car). A bit "lecheh", but more environmental friendly.

heard coil problem mainly on CBR1k, 600 ok..

[none]

Yes, but only for earlier batch of 02-03 Vtecs.

There is a coil recall for them too.

I think problem is fixed from late 03 onwards.

 

You can actually check the FI status by shortening a fuse or circuit.

Sometimes it could be just a loose connection.

Staintune is polished stainless steel.. good quality and sounds like an American muscle car with the deep throaty bass too! But not legal

 

 

Rick has leo vince on it! sounds equally awesome! Faster PM him.

Arrow's not legal.

I'm considering the Micron for my 5th gen VFR.

Anyone here using it? I would like to hear the sound and get some feedback from you.

u can get to hear micron sound from youtube

search for micron vfr

 

but then again..the sound may differs from what we get in sg as our restriction with LTA is so much tighter.

 

but again hehe let me know if u get it fixed

i dono the micron HKL provide is the one with rainbow colours or just plain stainless steel

 

look under advertisers thread under HKL

I have a Micron on my 5th Gen. I'm not sure if it sounds good or not cos I have not heard any other stock or after market pipes yet.

 

But frankly, a non-legal pipe sounds better than a legal aftermarket one, no matter what. You trade your stock pipe with mine?

 

Organise an outing so I can show you! Heh heh...

[GuiNNeSS]

but nothing looks better than the stock exhaust~ its one of the major item that attracts me to this bike... by the way, anyone knows where can i get comparable crutch/brake level in BLACK~?

Hi Guys

 

My Viffer's due to get her servicing done soon. (New Timing Chain, New Shims,Valve clearance etc, maybe a high com gasket (If available).

 

Question is where's a good place to do this. I've encountered many bike shops who don't even know how many cylinders this baby's got. Somehow I don't wanna be the centrepoint of their learning curve.

 

I read some recommendations somewhere in the previous 62 pages before but can't seem to find it anymore. Not very good with this forum thingy.

 

It'll be great if we could considilate a list of guys who have done their servicing with information like the location, estimated pricing etc.

 

Thanks everyone.

I am a loyal follower of Alex at Stamford Motor, 5th level AMK auto point (ind park 2). He is one of the most experienced mechenics I can think of. Cos he is a bit old, he is not fast! He is well known for servicing BMW and VFR's, trained by Honda Japan if I am not wrong. Alex no 64832198

I did valve clearance recently, $380. Still need to change tensioners but he ordered them for me already.

What are you riding and what is your mileage? Mine is 105K already and so far not much to replace.

 

Another mech is Meng Tong at Looi's but if you did not buy your bike from them and have no connections they might not entertain you.

[SiaoSter]

hows the prices that stamford quote? isssit ex? or reasonable ?

 

till now i still yet to find a shop that is more expertise in VFR i don say 100percent expertise but at least better than the rest

My mileage currently stands at 75k (02 VFR). Intending to do the servicing once it hits 80k. I did went over to Stamford last Friday to check him out. Reached there at ard 12:30 but he wasn't open. What's his operating hours?

 

I tried checking with his neighbours on what time he opens but got some nasty comments from them

 

How much would the whole package cost on average? I'm talking about valve, tensioners, shims + injector service.

 

Thanks.

 

Edit: Another quick question. This may sound dumb but I'll still ask

 

Can we change the Vtec transition zone? Even if slightly.

 

My gang normaly tour on average speeds of 170km/h. It gets irritating going in and out of the Vtec zone. Kinda like riding a horse.

[none]

if you intend to let him service your bike, be prepare to leave it there for weeks and he only need to use 1-2 days to tune the bike. Just curious what comments did they have for him.

It's a one-man show so he closes sometimes when he travels for biz to Europe. Just give him a call at the number I stated above.

 

Well, I have only good things to day about Alex. The way it works is I change oil there and a oil change is $124 (oil filter $24 + 4 bottles of castrol syntec). He makes a lot of money of this. It is premium oil and works well on my bike but I also get great service when I need to replace other parts and quite fast too if you are a regular customer. My handling has improved signinficantly after he changed the steering bearings. He has a lot of amazing stuff in his little shop. I dare to say my bike is one of the best running bikes on the road. nothing but good reviews from friends that rode my bike

Well they told me that he opens as and when he wishes and told me not to wait for him. You know that "He's rich and he opens as and when he wants" thingy.

 

That's after I waited for around half an hour and decided to ask his neighbours.

 

Well jealously is a sad thing. Can't blame them as well. I'll just drop him a ring before I head down in future.

Hi everyone, since most of the Viffers are active in this thread, could kindly state your name at a thread I started few years back. Its "How many VFR riders?". Last updated in 2005.
