Remove the honeycomb Cat in the exhaust system and you will be getting better operating temp. I am having 81-83 deg when riding,day or night.Max is 85-86 deg if really hot daystime.

[thenation]

Is it possible to change the settings such that the fan kicks in at a lower temperature?

Hi All VFR Riders

 

Just wondering if anyone here uses Scottoiler for their ride? Curious in how the system is being installed on the Pro-arm.

 

Thanks!

Using it on my ride. When you get the full oiler set, there are attachments specifically for VFR. The shop will install this for you. Do note that it is rather tedious. Ah Keong at HKL took 1/2 day to install mine. Kudos to him cos he made sure that the needle is nicely positioned & everything is tip-top.

 

I recommend you go HKL (if you haven't got it yet) and get Ah Keong to install.

 

Been riding with the oiler for more than 11,000 km. My chain is still shiny and no need for adjustments yet.

Hi BlackBandit

 

Thanks for your reply. Do you have the model number of the oiler set?

 

Thanks.

[BlackBandit]

minime,

It's the Universal MK7 kit.

 

Also, don't buy the dual injectors attachment. Won't fit the single sided swingarm.

[seahmh]

Front= 36 psi

Rear = 42 psi

 

same same here me too on -

36 front

42 rear

 

Sorry, mind if I ask what are the damages (if any) done to the front tyre if I use 40 for front and 42 for rear?

 

Normally, I pumped 40psi for front and 42psi for rear. But when I plugged out the pump from the L-shaped valve, there is sure to be a bit of leak of gas the psi is always 1psi lesser, so I guess I have always been riding on 39psi for front tyre and 41psi for rear.

 

I did think of pumping 43psi for rear, so that it will become 42psi after I plugged out the pump. But concerned that the tyre might not be able to take 43psi since the max for the tyre is 42psi ONLY.

 

Why I want to make sure that the rear tyre is max 42psi is becos I pillion my wife-to-be often and I have a 48L rear top box, so thot better to have more air in my rear tyre. Am I wrong in my thinking??

 

Thanks in advance for any constructive advices.

 

Thank you.

[seahmh]

Can I ask one more thing?

 

Take for example, the previous owner of my ride has NEVER change the timing chain or tensioner before from start till now.

 

The mileage of my ride is almost 31,300km now, so it is advisable to change both now??

 

This is because I am starting to hear a "tia-tia-tia" sound whenever I clutched in when I am slowing down, coming to a halt, during riding...

 

I did not hear such a sound previously, but there are some faint sound now, so I was wondering whether it is due to the timing chain and/or tensioner.

 

Oh, BTW, the sound is coming out from below my right-hand side hand-grip-aka-the-throttle-grip...

 

Thanks in advance for any constructive advices.

 

Thank you.

and it's quite easy to diy the scottoiler on your bike. you won't need 1/2 day, 1/2 hour maybe. my set was transferred over from my previous bike and it has been with me for over 3 years.

 

if you need the single sided swing arm adapter, or even the dual injector adapter kit for vfr800, just go to scottoiler's website and order. they will send it to you FOC.

p/s: while you are at it, you may as well order a couple of scottoiler stickers as well... FOC.

42psi is the max. in any case, 42psi is measured when tire is cold. 1psi probably won't make any difference since you cannot even be sure whether the gauge is correctly calibrated.

 

btw, roger's right. the stock rear suspension cannot make it. an aftermarket rear suspension makes all the difference

Thanks for all your advices, Mr Roger and Mr floppy.

it's expensive ($55?) but there's no reason to get the dual injector at all. the single injector is more than enough for the oiling purpose.

roger has listed most of the major brands. just do a search on their website and you can find out who's their distributor/agent in singapore. the suspension should start from $1k and goes upwards depending on the amount of adjustments/functions it has. it may seem costly but the difference it makes is very significant. i fixed mine up with the help of a friend.

was pondering ...

by removing e honeycomb Cat in e exhaust system ,

how does it helps in getting a better operating temp.

whats e link ?

 

n by replacing e coolant with e latest so-called engine ice (wetter) kind of coolant ,

does it really help in reducing e temp.? n on average how much it cost ?

 

hope any to share so we can learn from one another.

[BlackBandit]

Roger,

The link you gave me states that the dual-injectors are only for the non-VTEC models leh.....

 

That was why I was wondering whether I may have missed this one......

the instructions for vfr800 vtec are included in the article that roger posted up.

what the link right.....

by removing the honey comb in the belly will allow the exhaust gases flow smooth as there is nothing to block its way..... enhance better flow of exhaust gases.

so when faster gases flow, the engine will be cooler loh cos there is nothing to hold be the hot gases ( lesser back pressure)

 

BUT removing the honey comb will cos your exhaust to be louder and actract the wrong attention
