I'm a longtime Honda V4 rider and just had a motor fail on my 2002 non-ABS VFR800 at about 70k (spewed coolant and oil and lost oil pressure at 97 mph) . Probably was the head gasket I'm thinking. In any event, I just picked up a low mileage 06 motor (3,471 miles) complete with radiators, throttle bodies, injectors, everything still installed on the block for $750!
Question: What should I pull off this motor so as to avoid any compatibility issues? I read that the fuel injection system (specifically the injectors) is different on the 06. I also read that Honda changed the VTEC open/close RPMs to open at 6400 and close at 6100 on the 2006 model bike.
I'm sure the wiring an connectors from the motor are probably different, so I'm sure I'll need to install all my original 2002 wiring connectors onto the 2006 motor. I don't want to tear the motor down too much though if it isn't necessary. I'm not looking for any performance gains, simply looking to adapt the motor in the easiest way possible so that I can get back to my 85 mile daily commute. Any answers would be helpful. Thanks! Ed
