The run off of wireless android auto, so they use your phone data and connection and mirror your phone. Without a phone with mobile data, it would be a paperweight.

oh and I almost forgot too, touch screen gloves are a necessity if you want to make changes on the fly

It ships with just a positive and negative wire lead. I have a 12v outlet on my handlebars already, so i picked up a male 12v connector and wired that to the unit, so i can plug it in and unplug it whenever i want. Here is a link to what i used https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0D7HR736J?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 And this is how it looks The unit requires 12v, so unless you have a usb step up adapter, you'll need to wire it to a switched 12v ignition source. There are definetly many ways to set it up, but this worked best for me

On my computer, I pick a destination, then drag the route where I want it to be to make custom waypoints. Then I click send to phone. It's similar to how I would have to do it with the Garmin I used to Use. But now I get traffic, and a whole bunch of live updating features.

This is the canadian amazon link, not sure if it'll work properly for anyone south of the border: https://a.co/d/9YyjHX7 One thing I've learned is alot of these are generic Chinese units that you can get on aliexpress for the same money or less. This is another similar one https://a.co/d/2g9ub74 It's really hard to beat the instant updates, traffic and waypoints that you get with Google. I loved my Garmin gps, until it became obsolete

I haven't tried the carpuride system itself, but I do have a similar 5" androidauto/Carplay system on mine and absolutely love it. It boots up fast, seems to have reliable connection. The only drawback is like all wireless android auto is you need to start your ride with a full phone battery. This works and fits on the standard ram mount so super easy to install I tried another cheap one from Amazon and it was horrible. Took 1p minutes to load. If I had the money though I'd splurge on the Chigee brand, but it's about 700$ out of my budget.

One item that gets overlooked, predominantly on cars are collapsed brake hose liners. They end up working like check valves There is potential that your brake lines could have gone bad

Does your bike have ABS? A faulty ABS unit could be the culprit. Try isolating which brake lever causes them to lock up. It would be good to know if it's just the rear brake pedal, front brake lever or both that cause the lock up.

I would say your final conclusion is probably on point unfortunately

Is this any help?

My street triple would sound similar, but not as loud on idle. I think the lumpy idle of the v4 exacerbates the sound, especially if the idle is set too low

Does the noise go away if You pull in The clutch? Mine sounds similar due to the lash between the transmission parts, and goes away at rpms above idle, or when the clutch is pulled in

32 and going on my 4th year with the 6TH Gen VFR! Been riding since I was 11, and will never stop!

Unfortunately not mine, it didn't take long for the designed to get copied. Already tried fighting it but nothing I can do. They do fit the 5th Gen that have the black bezel. But not quite the same as the 6th gen Since the angle of the triple Tree is slightly different. I wish I knew where the forum for it was for the 5th Gen. Sorry!
