  1. I have used these links http://www.vfrdiscus...age__hl__30 amp and http://www.vfrdiscus...nitor-wire-fix/ .

    I also added the ground wire on the other side around the blue connector to the tank strap bolt just incase that would help http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/34394-6th-gen-blue-connector-ground-fix-how-to/page__hl__%2Bblue+%2Bconnector+%2Bground

    I have removed every connector on each side to check for any sign of burn or corrosion, everything looked ok , I added dielectric geese while I had them apart.

    My local honda shop is not the place to get it fixed because while it was under warranty one of the the front cams had started making noise I thought it need a valve adjustment when I pulled the cams out I noticed that one of them was eating in to the cam journal.

    I took it to them and they told me I must of done a wheely and that caused the cam to eat in to the head because of lack of oil to that spot... I had to replace the head myself after weeks of talking to honda service and the 800 number they gave me for warranties. they wanted 5600$ to do the work so i did it myself

  2. Hi, I am new to this Forum stuff.

    I am sure the answer has been asked several times and I could find the answer if I didn't hate reading so much. BUT:

    I want more speed.

    2009 VFR800 Interceptor (Canada)

    Anybody have experience with gearing taller? I don't catwalk or anything but I have places to be.

    Not to rain on your parade here, but I don't think taller gearing is going to help top speed much, and will likely hurt. There is an excellent web page for learning the effect of gearing changes, Gearing Commander . They have what looks to be a correct preset for a stock VFR. According to this chart, the speed would be 154 MPH at the 10,500 RPM horsepower peak. This corresponds nicely with the 150 to 155 MPH top speed generally reported. Taller gearing would just LOWER the available power. To be blunt it looks like Honda got the gearing exactly right for a stock engine. Given the expense of large horsepower gains for this using a supercharger, you best bet is just to trade the VFR for a good used Hayabusa. The VFR is not meant to be a top speed bike, it is a Sport Touring bike with an emphasis IMHO more on Sport than Touring, but you can only pull so much HP from an 781cc engine without killing low RPM performance. My $00.02

    These bikes have v4 800cc engine and over 200HP
