VFR General Enquiry Thread

[WingZer0]

At 248kilos wet, it is a pig! For the weight though, it handles beautifully.. Yea watched it many times.. If only Fast Freddy's video was longer..

 

 

I didn't know that! U want a Pig try the Bandit12....now thats a Hippo to handle....but seriously it does not handle like its weight...can dare say this is one bike the Honda engineers designed the weight distribution flawlessly....even bring up on its mainstand is so easy.....but the electrical is a different story

U got the red vfr gen 5 har?? Is quite normal for my bike.. Normally 100 fan will kick in liao. So will be hot.

 

If u worry, go change the coolant and service it lo..

[vfrT]

Condition:Ambient temperature: 28~33 deg:

On the move (expressway speed) temp: coolant Temp: 85 to 95 deg.

Stationary (say at the stop light): 100 deg +/1 5deg is ok as long as the fan kicks in a bring it down.

 

Fan should kick in at 99-101 deg to cool things down. If not check these:

 

1. Cooling fan switch is working.

2. Check fan is working.

3. Check that the coolant level is up to spec and that there is no air-lock at the fan switch. Air lock can cause the temp to go up to 110 deg but fail to activate the fan as the fan switch cannot reach its trigger temp of 100 deg.

Unless it legal in Europe or Japan and can get the neccessary specs of the exhaust and let LTA inspect and approve it....and show proof that it is legal somewhere else then MAYBE u got chance to get that exhaust legal....

T10 from the bottom...easier to change than the low beams.

do let your bike cool down frst before changing the pole lights.

better if you change before starting your bike in the morning.

i got my fingers burnt cos i try to change the pole lights just after switching off the ignition .
