Fantasy.

I believe my set (never used btw) are somewhere in my shed. Let me look for them.

Sound quality is not great and the sound will depend on pipe used-this is a Vance & Hines Ti pipe. Mine is a '98.

I've always wondered what one of those would be like to ride. Let us know how you like it.

My '98 also pulls smoothly from down low to redline. I wonder if clogged injectors could cause this behavior? Is this condition constant? Never varies? You mention it's worse in warm weather. Air filter new/clean? Also wonder if you adjusted the starter valves properly. I remember one member being surprised that he had adjusted them opposite of what he thought the manual indicated.

So sorry to hear about his demise. Although I never met him I did correspond w/ him a few times here re: the header build/buy and such an easy guy to chat with. I'll think of him next time I open the VFR up and listen to those headers howl.

Let me just say Grum is an invaluable resource here-taking his time and effort to help others troubleshoot their VFR woes. Kudos to Grum.

Wow-that is a great write-up. Thanks for that. A buddy of ours bought bike when I bought my '98 new and loved it but sold it soon thereafter because he was scared he was going to get hurt or killed. He wasn't accustomed to fast bikes so it was sad for him to sell it. I wish I had to skills to do what you did to yours. Maybe when I retire I can delve into the specifics of some of those tasks you completed.

confused. I guess it depends on the diameter of the slip on pipe. Are you asking about new headers to fit the slip on?
-
I replaced the front wheel bearings after having my wheels powder coated-they unfortunately powder coated the entire wheel, including where the wheel bearing sits so had to dremel that out which was tedious as hell. I had the opposite problem-one of the bearings went in normally but the other one had to be pounded in and I was worried there was still residual power coating inside but once mounted they work fine. I wonder-would it matter if the wheel bearing wasn't snug inside the rim? The spacers will hold everything in place, right?
-
I watched several of the videos he produced-very fine work but he unfortunately dropped the bike he finished in the parking lot photographing it.

Beautiful color!

My '98 has always been that way-it seems to be getting worse. May be time to flush the clutch fluid and replace the clutch (for me). I have over 50,000 miles on it and ride every weekend so not due to lack of use.

Hey now, I have a Black Widow can on my bike. Is it the BEST quality can? No. But it looks good and sounds good.
No shade intended-just trying to get some headers sold😉

I did a few times but seems most folks on FB are looking at Delkevic or, dare I say it...Black Widow. Go figure?
Perhaps upload the Dyno charts as incentive-doubt a Delkevic or BW would yield such HP/torque gains.

No rust. More HP.

Thank you for the many years you kept this valuable site active and engaging. I will miss it tremendously, as I rely on the vast knowledge and experience found here to keep my '98 running and looking good. I want to thank every member here who has given me advice and shared their knowledge. I guess we could all migrate over to the "other VFR site". I'm a member there but never visit anymore......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Thanks for posting the link. I haven't read any reviews of the newer Gen VFR and enjoyed it. Now I need one.😁

how do they look shining through a red lens?

Yes, there was one created for the 8G.
The DynoJet Power Commander PCV.
You should still be able to get the tune for a small upcharge.
as I stated I have the map for the 5th gen on a PC III USB.

I do have the map from Attack.. FYI...
Didn't know there was a map created for the 8th gen. Which PC do you use?

So I was thrilled by the power my 8G has now after the header install, How about you? Was the power increase acceptable/delectable to you? 😉 Curious if I'm just being biased because I spent the money? I didn't get any before/after dino runs, but the seat of the pants dino showed a noticeable improvement in passing power,Absolutely-using the map done at Attack Performance the increase in thrust was significant especially at higher rpms.

Considering a VFR... help
in Eighth Generation VFR's

I remember reading a story about Freddy Spencer riding a '98 VFR just after they were released around Laguna Seca and posting a respectable lap time. I bought one right after reading that story.
