I had originally replied that I was going to try to make this ride. Well, to keep a long story very short - I lost in my attempt. That weekend has me triple booked - and all at events that I'd rather miss. TMAC this year was fantastic to be with all you clowns, and I really wanted to be a part of this one. If there is a miracle - I could swing showing up for Saturday night - only to leave first thing Sunday - but that would be sufficient to reconnect with you hooligans. FIngers are crossed - but it doesn't look good for me to get to the ride. ENjoy yourselves - and I hope TIMMY makes another movie or 12 to document the trip!

Way to go ! YOu have fortitude my man - good job!!

Kaldek - I have to ask you this - the high idle at start up - could that be the wax unit acting up? From what I know of the wax unit - it can get clogged and restrict coolant from flowing through it which causes it to high idle. Might be coincidental - but maybe that the cause for your high idle start. Don't know if that would then cause bad data to be read into the ECU and then mess up the ignition? (pinging that you mentioned). Member DUDE and I swapped his wax unit out of his 5th gen - and then learned that the unit could be flushed out - versus replaced. YOu've gone this far - might that be worth checking out?

Subtle....... nice stuff boys! Seb - I shoulda looked closer at your VFR at TMAC - have you also done this to your bike? Love how Rob tried to slide that clear clutch cover dealio through. Kinda like killing a mosquito with an anvil...... :)

Kaldek - I"m late to this party - but need to say - WOW. YOu're doing a serious effort here - and I hope you nail it! Careful with those damn fuel pumps in and out of the tanks - the flanges are more than a little temperamental. I'll be watching with fingers crossed for ya! Keep up the great experiment! You mentioned that others have done this project - anyone from VFRD?

I'm also new here but one of the earlier posts mention "I had no lights, blinkers were affecting the fuel pump, etc...." I guess the front harness had a poor earth through the blue connector but Honda has subsequently had a recall and fixed the problem by replacing the front wiring loom. At the time of my "fix the blue connector ground wire" post - there were a ton of guys having trouble with the electrical on the front end - lights working intermittently, gauges going out, etc.. At the time I posted this - this topic was very "Current" so I'll take the ownership of missing the prelude for the "WHY DO THIS". I believe that if you have the green ground wires going into the connector and coming out of the mate to it - do this mod - it'll save you some aggravation.

Timmy is both kind and nasty police! :laughing6-hehe: No - its because Timmy IS the BEST kind of Police. one that rides and is a real person. :beer:

Nicely done. I've always thought that if I ever got into riding on the track, I'd like to do it on a VFR - as the skills and bike characteristics would be able to transfer to the racetacks of North Carolina, I mean the roads of NC...... :fing02:
