You're right, Dynojet doesn't make or support the PCV for any bike built before '09. We know that the VFR hasn't been changed since '02. We know there are 2 model numbers of PCIII listed for 6th gen one for '02-'05 (#111-411) and one for '06 to '08 (#126-411). Those parts number are the same hardware, the only difference is the preloaded map. The "411" is the hardware and the or 3 digit number is the "stock" map for that model. I ran a '02-'05 unit on my '06 for a year with no problem. If you look, most Honda's use the same hardware, just different maps, example, the '06 CBR600 is #117-411. Guess what? If someone is having a sell on '06 CBR600 PCIII you can get it change the map, and you're good to go. Has anyone actually installed a non specific vfr power commander ***-411 and does it actually work? I think what was found is that non-VFR PC's might have different plugs on them and won't work. If they did have the same plugs than yes they should work no matter what their off of. Any PC for a 2002-2009 will work on any 6th gen VFR with the proper map installed! :fing02:

SUPER SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer: Very very nice build, is that the GSXR headlight too? One correction, if it's a 93 it the last year of the 3rd Gen VFR. :lurk: I have the same forks to use as the 06-07 gsxr forks are fairly long which make them a good mod choice and stock they work very well! :fing02:

Yes, your question was already answered in the PCiii thread you started, no reason for another thread. Closing thread! :cool: Try using the search function to see if the topic has been covered already people, thank you! Here is your info thread found in less than 5 sec. :blush: btw I find that the Google search works better for me! :blink: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.p...;show=&st=0

Here's one for the front, many have done this mod, just use the search function. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.p...&pid=495865

I wondered what your comp settings was because like I said your bike had No movement on the rear when I rode it! :huh: I'm glad you have it dialed in now to your liking! Now on Sag numbers: Being able to attain rider sag within the ideal range does NOT mean you have the correct spring, that is only one aspect of determining the correct spring rates and I think Pete just covered it in the previous post. You need the correct FREE(unladen) sag too. If my thoughts are correct I would venture that you have NO Free sag on your bike, this would be because the rear spring is too soft and you need to crank in a bunch of Pre-Load to achieve the desired 25-30 mm of rider sag which eliminates any free sag. :blush: We need to check it on your bike, ride it over one day and will do it, if it ever stops raining! I was able to attain 30 mm rider sag running a 900 lb spring on my Ohlins, but I had No free sag so I switched to the correct 19 kg spring and now have 10 mm free sag w/ 32 mm rider sag. I should tighten that up a little. :huh:

Dale, somethings not right here. :huh: Your bike with the supposed 950 lb spring is/was TWICE as stiff as the rear of my bike with an 1100 lb spring on it!!! I couldn't even get the rear of your bike to move bouncing on it! :fing02: That's what I was telling you when I got off your bike, the rear wouldn't move under my weight, where mine was soft compared to yours! I would have to guess that whoever built that F4i shock for you did something strange to it like an incredibly stiff comp shim stack or twice the normal amount of gas charge, there is no way a 950 lb spring is even close to being correct for your weight on a VFR by anyone's correct calculations. I don't know what changed at ReceTech, but their Spring Rate Calculator for the VFR is Now way soft too, it used to be very hard, but Ohlins, Penske, and even JD will all come up with much higher and more accurate spring rate numbers for our VFR's. Contact JD now and ask about what spring his calculations would come up with for your weight, he had to adjust his calculator recently because it had some slight error that was causing low spring rate calculations. For whatever reason, your bike is NOT the norm! :excl:

Sam, quick question? Whats on the rear? I ask this because if you still have a stock rear shock/spring it will have a major effect on what your feeling! If you have a different rear shock and correct rear spring than ignore this post, if not read this thread. :rolleyes: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/lofiver...php/t19943.html Turns out running a soft/stock rear spring with new stiffer screwed up feel on both ends because the stiff front transferred more weight to the already to soft rear making it feel worse and the stiffer front tended to bounce across many bumps and irregular surfaces instead of absorbing them. Felt fine on smooth roads and had greatly improve anti dive, but the rougher the road surface got the worse the front felt. :beer:

Hey Sam, glad your making progress and posting your findings as it's been awhile since someone has covered this mod! When you say "F4 valve still isnt stiff enough with the adjuster all tthe way in.. " I'm assuming your talking about rebound. Since rebound is your only adjustment I would set the front end up to a good feel on the Comp side based on oil weight, level and shim stack config, then valve the rebound to work best in that set-up. Also I think older Honda forks (Showa?) used large 3-port valves that flowed much more oil than the current 4-port valse found in most current Honda forks. There might still an old exsisting thread covering this difference somewhere? Thanks and keep up your results!
