    ?? Are you referring to the Green/Orange and the Light Green wires of the TPS? You've already confirmed the Green/Orange is good to the ECM and all Grounds are good. You've stated the Light Green wire has good continuity to the ECM. Being the TPS Signal to the ECM it shouldn't have continuity to the negative terminal. Are you probing the Light Green TPS to either of the other two and seeing resistance changes as you open and close the throttle, do this with theTPS plug disconnected and probing the terminals on the TPS not the wire harness? If the resistance was so bad you would probably have a active fault code. MAP sensor is a Voltage device, a pressure to voltage transducer! Refer Service Manual for MAP checks. Note - MAP and BARO are the same part numbers and can be swapped over for fault finding. Do you have a MAP fault code? Have you removed number 2 SV and tried cleaning with compressed air? Refer Service Manual. Cylinder 2 also feeds vacuum to the Secondary Air Intake system (flapper valve) if the system has been disabled make sure the vac hose for this is blocked off. 3 and 4 provide vacuum to the FPR Fuel Pressure Regulator. Make sure the FPR has no fuel leakage into the vacuum hose and no dripping fuel from the FPR vacuum connection any fuel leak = ruptured diaphragm. Closely inspect all vacuum hoses for cracks or damage and properly connected. Make sure the throttle body boots are tight not cracked or leaky. Good Luck

    hope I'm as successful. Have no clue who to take it to. Also the headers are on the bike so can't take them with.

    I’ve come back with some responses: 1. Voltage Checks: - Verified that the **TPS**, **Baro**, and **MAP sensors** have a **5V Vcc voltage** on the Pink wire, so voltage is consistent across these sensors. - Confirmed that the TPS has a **Signal Ground** through the ECM on the Green/Orange wire, and checked that all ECM Grounds (B1 Green wire, A9, and A20 Green/Pink wires) have good continuity back to the Battery Negative terminal. 2. Continuity Tests: - Checked the continuity of the **Light Green wire** (TPS Signal to ECM) and found no continuity with the negative terminal. - Neither the Orange/Green nor the Green wires had continuity with the negative or chassis, not sure if this is normal or not. 3. Grounding and Resistance: - All three wires (B1, A9, A20) have continuity with the battery's negative pole. - The Green/Orange wire has good continuity with B2. - The TPS signal to ECM wire (Light Green) has good continuity with B14. - The Pink, Green, and Green/Orange wires have good continuity to the ECM. 4. Sensor Resistance: - Attempted to verify the resistance in the TPS sensor but couldn't read any values, possible faulty TPS? - Similarly, couldn't measure any values for the MAP sensor resistance, which may indicate an issue with the voltmeter or the sensor itself. Is this normal or I’m missing something? 5. Throttle Valve Synchronization Issue: - Initially, cylinder number 2 could not be synchronized, as adjusting the screw only decreased the vacuum without improvement. - After attempting to synchronize the throttle valves as you’ve recommended, the same issue occurred with cylinders 3 and 4, unable to achieve a vacuum higher than 2.1 cmHg, which is the same as the reference cylinder 1. So I’m thinking of any possible leak

    Replaced the front cam chain tensioner lifter. Someone who calls themselves a mechanic, in their infinite wisdom, thought it would be a good idea to hold the gasket in place with a bit of sticky tape. And you guessed it the sticky tape covered the oil feed hole. WTAF. Anyways I'm thinking that most of the noise came from the sloppy head 😏😀 of the lifter rather than the weak spring.

    I took my 2Bros slip on link pipe along with our headers to a local muffler shop. He had it done in less than 10 minutes, handed him $10 cash and was on my way. It was completely uneventful.
  13. interceptor69
    I have the opposite problem-I need the pipe from the Two Brothers can I got 2nd hand expanded to fit the outlet of the new headers, as they are the exact same diameter. I'm worried that will split and I know I can't get another one of those...

    Good times on Warwoman Rd back in 2012! My battery died at a rest stop in Clayton. The parts store had one and @Dutchy was nice enough to offer his services. When I saw all of he phones pointed at us, I had to make the most of it.

    wouldnt that be possible with say the 8th gen. it has that access port. Assuming all the 3rd party QS needs is to send the 'right signal' would be nice especially if the OEM doesnt support and produce their own product anymore(the honda QS)
  19. Mohawk
    You are spot on, but 3rd party QS's don't send anything to the ECU they just cut the signal to the plugs to skip a few RPM. Would be nice if manufacturers built an access port into the ECU, so you didn't have to do loads of wiring.

    Hello All. Looking for a centerstand for my 93 VFR. Statesville NC USA. Thanks!
  22. ariesblade
    that one requires quite a bit of cable management right? I dont quite understand why an aftermarket QS maker hasnt designed something to plug into the OEM port. Al it does is send a signal to the ECU to cut the ignition right?

    keny, I don't think my US model came with the nuts installed on those posts from the factory. I never used the nuts on those two spots regardless.

    I def plan on taking it to someone who can take their time on it. Don't want to split the pipe you cant get anymore.
  30. ducnut
    Be extremely careful with the expanding. I took my header and Staintune to an OG exhaust dude, who gently expanded, rotated, gently expanded, rotated, etc. He probably spent 20 minutes on it, for fear of splitting it.

    A local mentioned Warwoman Road, from Hwy 28 over to Clayton, GA. It turned out to be a great road. It’s an easy one to miss, because it comes up from over one’s right shoulder. Basically, it’s the first major road, across the state line. The regulars may already know of it. Whitewater Falls turned out to be a cool sight. The access road to the parking lot is somewhat narrow and unmarked. And, there is no cell service, so grabbing a screenshot of the map, before getting down in that area would be advantageous. If you hit the state line or the Duke Energy entrance, you’ve went too far. There’s probably going to be a whole lot of traffic on every other road, with the repaving going on.

    You can use a Healtech Quick Shifter Easy (QSE). I keep meaning to ask them to make me a special harness, will contact them tomorrow 👍

    Awesome Dude, it looks good! If I could operate a spray can, I would go back to white.

      Juniper Pass

      I took a day off from work and also from my bicycle training to take out the Veefalo one last time before the weather turns ugly, supposed to snow the rest of the week and possibly start sticking to the ground along the Colorado Front Range. I took a leisurely pace up hwy 105 toward Morrison and got reacquainted with the bike since its been over a month since I took any sort of twisties on it at all, hwy 105 is a scenic ride along the front range between Denver and Colorado Springs, its mostly easy fast sweepers and lite traffic so its a favorite road of mine when going north. Then I have to negotiate a bit of traffic near Highlands ranch and up hwy 470 into the mountains. I decided to take the Morrison Exit and try either Lookout Mountain or head up Golden Gate Canyon - this time it was Lookout Mountain, I was sort of making it up on the fly as I went along. Lookout Mountain is my old bicycling haunt from my days while I was working at Coors, its a killer ride and all uphill - I don't think I could do it today If I had to, not quite there yet! I saw a whole bunch of riders doing it though and wished I was in shape enough to be there doing it as well. 30 more lbs and I will be able to do it! On this day I would do it on the Veefalo instead.

       

       

       

       

      I took a video from the gateway to the top at the Lookout Mountain State Park, getting past riders, the guy in the green jacket actually pretty much astounded me with how far he had gotten in the short time it took me to set up my camera, some 3 miles at least and up to the gateway from the turn off at hwy 6! Amazing I thought. I took the first two turns slow then got more comfortable as I went up further, till I was doing well, I made some gearing mistakes and took the tight 15mph marked hairpins in the wrong gear so I lugged it a bit on one or two. Still enjoyed it though and then got off at the top and hiked over a rock outcropping for an overview of the road for the pictures below.

      From there I headed up interstate 70 to Idaho Springs for a beer at the Tommy-knockers brewery, I was the only customer in the joint - slow day for them so they treated me like a king! I got a nice tour of the place sort of impromptu, they made me a nice Pastrami sandwich on rye and with the brown ale it was fantastic. I must say the beer is much better there than in the bottles - its always good at the brewery. I am glad I stopped

      I finished my lunch and since the road to Mount Evans is right there I headed up Squaw pass hoping to get in some nice pictures I wasn't expecting what I found, ICE IN ALL THE SHADY PARTS

      gallery_491_3463_419309.png

      Icy patches on Squaw Pass definitely taking it easy on that road

      There were some section where the ice covered the whole road for 300 yards or so I had to roll through it with my legs out to help keep the bike from sliding and falling over, I took it real slow. A Ford pickup was right behind me so I pulled over to let him pass but the guy was going slower then even I was so I pressed on - in places where I could see I just cut over to the oncoming lane and out of the ice where the sun was shining on the road more, but some places there was not alternative so I just had to go slow, good thing it wasn't slick but rather they tossed some gravel over the worst parts so I had some traction!

      I did stop for pictures in all the best spots

      I Am Back !

      gallery_7692_2036_18129.jpg

      Not that it matters and not that I expect anyone had noticed, but to those who sent me "where are you?" I would like to say I am back. Not only that I am officially returning to VFRD after nearly 2 months break but I have also ridden my Hawk last weekend and had FUN! Let me restate that; I had major fun riding! Something I have almost given up on.

      Most of you have been riding your whole adult lives and riding is not only a hobby to you, it is part of you. But I started riding three years ago and even though I have encounter some setbacks, till this spring I loved riding with whole my heart. However, I have always considered riding as my hobby. As a hobby which suppose to make my life better, more fun and more rich. Life is too short to do something which we don't fully love.

      My love of riding received a first major scar this spring: I lost a friend on the racetrack. He was a total stranger who offered me his help after I lowsided at CMP track last year. I still remember hearing his "Hi, my name is Todd, do you need help?" while I was duct-taping my roadrash from ripped jacket. He helped me straighten up the shifter and we kept in touch. The next time we saw each other was the day he died.

      With 9 months delay, I can say that Todd's death shook me more than I have realized. It rooted fear in me which was fueled by seeing and hearing about others getting hurt over and over again. If I was to summarize this year - it would be one big accident report. I became sensitive to every broken bone, every roadrash, every lowside. And even though I did 10 track days this year, I became slower and slower and slower. Suddenly, I have acquired this 'grandma' riding style on the road, frozen with fear that behind every corner there is car standing in my lane, or major sand trap or deer staring at me ... I was crippled with fear not only for me about also for my fellow rider.

      So, at the end of this year, I rode more and more by myself. I could not bear the feelings of responsibility for others on the road and my lines were crippled by my own fears. It all culminated this fall at WDGAH. In a freaky accident Love2rideh82crash was taken down by a truck crossing into our lane. I was done. I finished the weekend, locked the VFR into a garage and took a break.

      Until the last weekend, I pretended that motorcycles do not exists. As a last instance after 2 months break from riding, I decided to go to CMP track to see if I can still have fun. I also felt like I should go for the memory of Todd. I went and I had fun! I had much more fun than I expected and the most fun on track I can remember. Suddenly the whole track connected into an uninterupted line of turns and I felt one with the bike riding around! I was giggling like a little girl in my helmet and keep on giggling ever since smile.gif

      Granted I was not the fastest one and through out the weekend, I have never exceeded about 60% of my riding abilities, but I had no "oh-shit" nor 'blond' moments. I could have maybe go faster, I could have brake later for the turns and I could have lean further, but I am no Rossi nor Stoner. I decided to ride for fun and I had amazing blast riding well within my comfort zone.

      I was proud of myself when, after bandaging Ricks arm, I was able to distance myself and go back to riding without the year-long fear. I did feel bad for him but the feelings were not crippling my lines nor my mind. And when a total stranger came to me and said "Hi, my name is Todd", my heart stopped for a minute though but I suddenly knew that my life went a full circle. I probably will never win MotoGP :idea3: , but I am back! :wheel:
