VFR Newbie

Chilly New England spring day here, and I finally got my bike to the dyno for tuning. 60 miles to Gardner MA started at 48F and ended up dropping to 45 on the temp gauge. No matter, this was my slot and Rob's Dyno is booking out to mid-June now... I've had the headers and PCV on for a few weeks now and took a few shakedown rides with it to make sure there were no issues... -Stop at Cumbies to warm up. -Ready to rock! Here's the particulars: 2000 VFR800, 38k miles on the odo. Headers (of course!) Two Brothers Racing carbon C-series slip-on PAIR Valve and snorkel mods BMC air filter O2 sensors jumped out with 300 ohm resistors Power Commander V Happy to report Rob was able to tune my 2000 with no issue on the Power Commander V! The base map's AFR was in the toilet. He was able to clean that up, and ended up very happy with the results! It ended up being a wet, cold ride home instead of just cold... so I didn't get to enjoy the ride home too much, but the throttle response and fueling is amazing now. Thanks for putting this group buy together, and if you're thinking about pulling the trigger, don't wait! Cheers, Sean

Send a note to @sfdownhill and @Duc2V4. they can get you sorted.

Who did the tuning for you? Rob's Dyno?? I'd like to have a chat and figure out a game plan for my 5th Gen.

Thank you and appreciate the update. I was more worried that, given the state of things, that with COVID and whatever else there was a bigger issue. Relieved to hear there is not!! When you have a moment, a solid number on how many are left for the new minimum order would be great. Thanks again

Any update here? Been a little over 10 weeks since we had the minimum for another run.

Great tip. Another COVID quarantine maintenance item to add to my list!

Oil level and weight from another rider or the service manual can certainly be good as a starting point, but it'd be more useful to think about your weight / riding style and make adjustments to these values to make the suspension a better fit *to you*! Of course you should check that Traxxion Dynamics doesn't specify a certain weight of oil for their cartridge. They may not... but worth asking them what they may recommend and why.

Just checking in here... We ready to go on the latest set?? THANKS!! Can't wait to get these on my bike. Sean

Go back to page 19. Honda Service Manual does not mention anything about seam. IMHO this guy is making a big deal about nothing. Again... the exhaust gasket, if properly installed, should be squished between the exhaust header and head opening. There should not be any part that is in the flow of the exhaust gasses.

This has been discussed. If installed correctly, it should not interfere with the exhaust gas flow at all.

There’s a performance header thread that’s very extensive on here. I’d strongly consider picking up one of those!!

F it. Quarantine brain and reading through all of this has finally broke me down. Deposit sent. Sorry Scottie, I can't steal your set... you need to hold onto them.

It's the Givi windscreen. I haven't experienced any so far. To be honest, I haven't ridden the bike a whole lot with it on. I need to change that.

They are! They went on easy enough. Some work was needed to make the rear sets work with linked brakes. That reminds me, I need to get in touch with him to let him know what I did.

Nice bike! I got a lot of shit for keeping mine yellow on my resto, but I love it!!!
