  1. But it was raining Dutchy. Bridal Falls a great place . Awesome shot .
  2. +1 I can personally vouch for ASV's.
  3. Check all connectors and ground. Make sure the grounds are touching metal .

    This is a scary bunch ... Looks like the camera was still attached to the bag, that wont last long .
  9. I don't think it affects MPG much, if at all. The PCV operates in two modes, learning (using the O2 sensor) or running whatever map + trims are stored. There are connections on the PCV that determine if the PCV is "learning". If there is continuity (switch ON) between these two connections, the PCV is learning. In learning mode, the PCV continually adjusts "trim" values that are then added to (or subtracted from) the base map. When there is no continuity between the two connection (switch OFF), the bike doesn't adjust the trim values; it just uses whatever base + trim happens to be stored at that RPM/Throttle position. The problem with autotune is that if the bike is in overrun, odd values seem to be stored in the trim. What the vacuum switch does is turn off the "learning" mode during decel, so only adjustments to trim are made when the bike is cruising or acclerating. Thanks for clearing that up . I have PC5 on my 08 .
  10. Yes, and with a single wide band O2 sensor for the AutoTune positioning it after all the merges will give you the best "average" A/F reading for all the cylinders. The only PCV AutoTune for multiple O2 inputs that I was aware of is for the Harley Davidson's... Has DynoJet improved the AutoTune module to include multiple O2 sensors for Hondas? I'd think with a little creative splicing and making sure that the right fuel injectors go to the same box, you could run a dual setup (2x PCV w 2x WB autotune) with the front and rear banks each treated as a 2 cyl engine. Mohawk, we might have had this discussion before, but are you running a vacuum switch to shutoff WB tuning during decel? One last thing I just remembered, if you are installing this on a 5th gen, there is enough cord to get the PCV up under the seat, but just that. I really wish they had another 6-10" of cord so I could put it back in the space under the cowl or have just a bit more slack. Mine is back about as far as I could put it, and still be comfortable with the tension of the cable. It lands almost directly behind the battery box lid; close enough that I have to pull the PCV off its velcro to open the battery box. With the vacuum switch install any data on the increase in MPG's ?
  11. Some other forums report the wideband O2 sensor thread is 18mm x 1.5 pitch bolt. http://www.ebay.com/itm/02-Oxygen-Sensor-Plug-Bolt-M18x1-5-Wideband-/191502426632?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item2c966f2208&vxp=mtr Zinc $4.00 free shipping !!! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mild-Steel-Zinc-Plated-Hex-Bolt-Bung-Plug-for-Oxygen-Sensor-Bung-M18x1-5-Thread-/281500628507?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item418abeb61b&vxp=mtr
  12. Not pretty but I have seen modified sparks plugs. They take the center out and fill it with epoxy . I see why now the cheapest one I found was at Advance Auto $14 ..

  16. 6th gen is bullet proof !!!! Sorry had to throw that in .
  17. Rodent deterrent tape ? Never knew... There several blips about the VFR1200 . Valve Adjustment Procedure The CBR250R has a unique cylinder head design that allows the valve shims to be accessed without removing the camshafts. I want this head design ^^^^ ....
  18. 2010 VFR1200F/FD Getting to Know the New VFR1200F/FD The new and extraordinary 2010 VFR1200F/FD includes technology and components not used on a Honda on-road motorcycle before. They include: • Throttle by Wire (TBW) • Sealed, Low Air Pressure Crank Chamber • Offset-pivot Swingarm • Compact Final Drive Gear Case • Monoblock Six-piston Front Calipers To be ready to service this model, you’ll want to become familiar with it. To do this, read the Technical Features section of the Service Manual and complete the iN Online University Update 2010 Module. It will include information on the abovementioned components and those listed below. An iN message will announce the module soon. • Phase-shift 28º offset pin crankshaft • Unicam valve train • Oil pressure sensor instead of a switch • Six-speed Automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) on VFR1200FD • Easy to remove fairing panels Here are a few tips and information about the 2010 VFR1200F/FD that will help with customers questions and servicing the new model: • The coolant reserve tank level can be checked by opening the right side heat shield located behind the engine. See page 15 of the 2010 VFR1200F Set-Up Instructions. • Engine oil should be checked through the inspection window with the motorcycle upright. • The final drive oil level should be checked with the motorcycle resting on its sidestand while on level ground. • The cooling fan will switch on when the bike is stopped or moving at low speeds if the coolant temperature is above 50º C (122º F). This is a normal condition. • The Throttle by Wire (TBW) drive motor will occasionally make a slight whirring sound when the key is on and the engine is stopped. This sound is normal. • The VFR1200F/FD uses an advanced, more sensitive, oil pressure sensor. The low oil pressure indicator may momentarily come on under rapid acceleration, especially if the oil is at or near the low level. Whenever the indicator light comes on or stays on, check the oil level. To reset the light, turn the ignition key OFF and ON. • The accessory saddlebags and trunk are fitted with a new type of lock that can be matched to the motorcycle’s ignition key. Check the instructions that come with the lock. The trunk is mounted on a floating mount to allow some side to side movement. • There are a number of new special tools that are needed to maintain and service the VFR1200F/ FD. As none of the tools will be auto-shipped, you’ll have to order them as needed. Before beginning work, especially on the final drive, clutch, and top-end, check the Service Manual for the needed special tools and order them using normal parts ordering procedures or the AHM Tool and Equipment Program. Shown with "A more sensitive oil pressure sensor" seems that should answer a couple problems. PS great info !!!
