so i have a 1999 vfr 800 my bike is winerized for 8 months and i dont ride it much , but i love my bike and love when im on it . any way my clutch plates are sticking . i think from lack of use . but it just changed the oil and it is a little milky . I think it is from condensation on my cement floor an i havent changed the oil it two years since i dont put miles on it. Will condensation or milky oil cause the plates to stick , and a second question if i dont ride it much and it is in storage how can i prevent the plates from sticking ? any advice is welcome .

bike has been sitting for awhile , 7 months wont roll in gear with clutch lever pulled in . it did come apart while starting with clutch lever in . but went right back to sticking . im thinking its the plates but can i .clean and reuse plates ?

hello my clutch plates are sticking badly where and how should i start to diagnose the problem ? what would your first step be ?

looking for a good quality aftermarket voltage meter . one that is bright during the day that i can read . doea anyone have any suggestions ?

grum last question i dont ride the bike much could it just be sticky clutch plates? i maybe ride it three times a year

grum, would this bend a shift fork if it went into gear hard

helllo , my 1998 honda vfr 800 slaps into gear hard when i shift from neutral. a while ago accidently put it into gear at a high idle 3000 maybe 4000 rpms . now my bike shifts into gear hard one time and not the next . is there any adjustment for this. did i bend a shift fork maybe , and what do you think it might cost to take it to a shop and have it looked at? any advice will help

thank you

i am just curious what are normal operating temps what is a normal riding temp ,and what would be a hot temp ,and what wold a temp be at a long stop light in the summer , only curious my bike was operating at 186 while riding and when i would come to a stop it would go up to 210 and that felt hot. i dont ride this bike much mostly sits in the garage .I know every bike is different buy maybe i can get a few different answers and hope i will be in that range

thanks for all the info, K&N is out, some of your replies with filter numbers were great think im going to go with Mobil 1 or Purolator

just wondering if there is any suggested oil filter and why , Im in need of a oil change i am trying to stay away from k&n oil filter

Just thought id let you guys know the bike did not want to fire for 12 hours. I work as a EMT so i was gone for my 3 day shift when i got back my bike ran great i think i just needed to sit but seems like it is burning off oil in the exhaust now

thanks grum i will figure this out, this was my fault , i was putting my bike on my lift table and was on the opposite side of the table and went to lean it toward the kick stand and the kick stand slid out from under it or off the table not sure i was too busy holding on to the bike. table was on the ground . can i send you a message when i get to it this next weekend with my facts and a short video of what is going on

so recently i pulled the fuel injectors out for the first time and changed the pressure regulator . bike was running good. put all the hoses back in the right place but i had one left over from under fuel rail . vacum hoses 1-4 went on the air filter housing hoses 1-10-12- 15 went where they belong. as i was putting the bike back together i had found one last hose from under the throttle body that was connected to all four intakes ( i dont know the proper name ) i thought it was a overflow of some kind. when the error code came up two blinks. check map sensor hose. i thought of this hose it was the only one that knew was not connected. when i plugged it in the error code light went off. otherwise there are no hoses not connected and i made sure all other hoses are in the right place according to the manual

ill give that a try but i am smelling gas from cranking not really an overabundance of gas .is there any chance oil got into something ? i does not seem to be firing on any cylinder . i am at work for the next 3 days then i have four days off . i will check the fuel and i will pull the plugs and see if i am getting spark . also if it landed on the coil could that of gone bad. this seems really odd to me considering nothing looks broken
