must be a pain in the ass if needed to remove farring for vfr...

but those quick release fasteners may not be able to fit the vfr farings..

think is called deuz fastener.. something like that..

actually its not really that difficult to remove the side cowls. 10 minutes max. If the QR are used, it takes only a few seconds for you.,.. & for the "theives" So must beware

[menphis]

ya.. if kanna target by thief... the bike will be getting naked in a flash...

 

 

anyway the QR fastener doesnt come cheap too..

[mighty_mouse]

my CBR400RR-J use to have QR as OEM fasteners ... its not 100% QR but it performs the same. All you need is a philips screwdriver, turn it 90degs and it pops out. the tooless QR functions with the same principle. Basically it need themale & female NOT to be threaded normally. So what one needs is the set of parts. getting the "ringed" QR male, you will also need to replace your bike's female part to the special part. FJT sells them. The only problem is I do not know if they would fit into the VFR .. the female part that is

 

Hope these info helps a little

send your nick to speedy81. I think he is still the moderator alo he is still in HK.

 

Unfortunately that forum is still locked under "private" and traffic there has dwindled considerably as a result.

 

Can we unlock it Andy? David?

Hi everyone..

 

I tried doing a search on the catalytic converters but couldn't find much info..

What effect does removing them have? And what use are they for in the first place? Appreciate any help in this.. Thanks..

Hi menphis, half price $350 sell can or not

[rstopel]

1. vfrT - '98 VFR800 (sold at about 80,000km)

- rectifier spoilt at 50,000km. Replacement cost $210. Not a single drop of oil leaked, or oil or coolant top-up needed.

 

2. vfrT - '99 VFR800 (still in use)

- No problems. Present mileage 42000km. Not a single drop of oil leaked, or oil or coolant top-up needed.

 

3. None - '02 VFR800Vtec (still in use 65,000km)

4. HamsterZ - '03 VFR800A3 (still in use, covering 43,000km from 0km) -

1. No problems. No oil leaks, no oil loss (oil level is checked every saturday mornings )

2. No coolant top up (but coolant replaced annually)

3. Side stand bracket M10 bolt vibrated out & dropped of suddenly w/o knowing at about 35,000km. Attached personal service info. (kindly PM if any queries as vfrT mentioned no usually maintainence to be brought up )

5. Batt cannot sustain peak current to start bike properly. Changed new batt at 43,705km at $157.....

PS ---> (rest volt=12.9V, charge volt=14.5V... so batt seems healthy from voltage pt of view. But it doesn't die suddenly.. it has tell tale signs as the diag resets at each failed start)

6. license plate light unknowingly blew at 5000km, replaced at ard 20,000km and blew again... i left it empty w/o lights

7. top taillight main filament blew (brake filament OK) at abt 30,000++km

 

 

5. Koma 02 VFR800A2 (bought at 8000km sold at 46000km)

- no coolant n oil top up ever needed

- magnetic coil burnt at round 30000km resulting in underchargin of battery n therefore alot of push starting of the bike until problem was found out (replacement coil $300)

 

6. Rstopel take over Koma bike @ 46000km.

- no oil top up needed

- coolant leak a bit at high temp due to slider drilled through reserve tank

- side stand bolt vibrated out & dropped on NSH @ 60.000km (like hamsterz)

- steering cone @ 74000

- front bearings @ 74000 (rear bearings change too troublesome for stamford alex)

If u study carefully, it seems like the older version VFR800 has lesser problems,

 

My side stand bracket bolt also vibrated out & dropped of suddenly w/o knowing at about 30,000km that time. Without knowing i also topple the bike when i wana mount it on side stand.

 

My electrical wirings, harness start to show signs of burn & melting at 40,000km

 

Magnetic coil 3/4 burn at 30,000km

 

If i not wrong, u guys also will have this kinda problems later on

The perception that the 800i is less problematic may be that vtec owners are more represented here.

 

For a "professional" comparison, look out for BIKE magazine March 2006 issue where they promised to compared the two!

But i am extremely disappointed with the bike liao...... remember when it came out tat time was so expensive. Around $24k for 800cc. So i have high expectation of it. Now electrical problems start to come out much sooner then the older version. To repair it will cost a bomb. And u will never noe when the problem would reoccur again after repair, like waiting for silent death
