  1. Being shorter it does it still engage all the way
  2. So your using the f4i push rod cut down?, none of the vfr parts
  3. Recently I changed my oem rear master with a cbr600f4i rear master on my 98 vfr. I used the internals of the vfr, onto the cbr shell. And the vfr res. Using a new seal kit from all balls. The bike has hel delink, the rear locked on after 30 minutes. I rebuild the caliper New lines,.New pads, new rotor. Bled it all. And today I rode and 30 minutes the pedal went rock hard so.i stopped, rotor was very hot. What am i doing wrong, somebody is saying to.make sure the piston is allowing the compensate valve to put fluid back into the res when it gets hot.
  4. its a great ride, a lot of good roads here to ride.
  5. Today we visited the exact random spot near Tallawa Dam, which was destroyed by bushfires over xmas of 2019. We visited this random spot in Feb 2020 and saw it was just destroyed. the creak was full of the chemicals the water bombers drop. We found the exact stick we accidentally took the bark off 12 months ago. The Australian bush has evolved to recover i took out my blackbird instead of the vfr this time, so hope its still ok to post here. https://youtu.be/sNqyPnQXvnM
  6. yeah, they say everything happens for a reason, i dont know that reason, and i cant see that reason right now. but ive come to realize that maybe our relationship wasnt that great for a few years, and maybe it was time to end things. i dont like how she did it, but maybe it should of ended a few years ago.
  7. do the photos come up, ive shared from facebook?
  8. currently fitting givi panniers, top box, new chain, and some power sockets.
  9. dont worry, still got a gen 5 vfr800. but its set up for the track
  10. im doing ok i guess. taking life one foot step at a time. unforunetly, this is my 2nd divorce in my life time, im now 40 years old. i have riden bikes my entire life, so thats my therapy, tinkering, and riding. i think my bike letting me down hurt more than my wife letting me down. just having fun in the garage rebuilding the cbr1100xx, going over her. i think ill stick in a fh20aa into her straight away. as above, im well aware of hondas shit plugs and corosion, and every service i go over every plug, disconnect, clean with contact spray, and re apply dialectic greese. ive done this for 20 + years on many bikes. and i have to say the only problem ive had was with the 2011 vfr800. and more so random electrical faults since i low sided it after hitting a roo, 2 years before. i had replaced a fair few plugs and fuse sockets and a new oem stator, oem regulator went over all teh loom and could never find a fault. yet i had regular melted fuses, not blown, just insulation melted, on the main fuse, even with teh vfrness i had installed. i even had the starter relay melt on me. i had multi meters, and onboard voltage guages, just never found out the problem.
  11. i do remember that scene and always wonder what path he took.
  12. yes insurance paid me out a few weeks ago, didnt get what the bike was worth to me, i was toying up the idea of a vfr1200, or a gen 8 vfr800 but the insurance just didnt pay me enough money, and decided not to get a bike loan at this stage, but i ended up finding low km immaculate a limited matt black 2004 cbr1100xx that i had always wanted, so got it for a good price. i still have a 1998 vfr800 gen 5 i rebuild for the track in the garage.
