Is anyone running a brake light modulator and/or turn signal cancelling controller? If so, what are you using? I've been looking at the ST2 ones, but there are others. I've used Back-Off before, but it's only activated by depressing the brake lever/pedal. Badlands and ST2 activate also by downshifting and/or letting off the throttle. So if you are using something, please share details both good and bad...

This happened Saturday. Yep, back to a VFR Interceptor! 2005, 26K miles. Nice list of mods including full Delkevic exhaust, Power Commander w/ Autotune, Honda panier hard bags (brackets on, bags not shown), Corbin seat (stock seat shown) and cowl cover w/ grab bar delete plates, Heli handlebars, Zero G windscreen and Showa shock. Also a cover. Good find, good deal and hell of a nice seller. The non-stock stickers will be deleted. I'll be listing the panniers with brackets and Corbin seat for sale soon so let me know if you're interested (PM please). I am also selling my 2009 Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide. Just wasn't for me and I missed my previous VFR. Good to be back!

I've been researching information about the Power Commander and would like to hear first hand opinions both pros and cons. I've read it smooths the transition and eliminates the dead spot when VTEC kicks in. But I'd love to hear more benefits. Educate me on whether you think it's a worthwhile upgrade for our beloved 6th gens. Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

Ah. I thought that was a burnt/melted wire sheath looking at it on my phone. Looking at the picture again, I see it's just the yellow wires themselves; my bad. I was able to install the R/R without an adapter plate. It will bolt in by sliding the unit a bit forward using one of the R/R bolt holes, and placing a washer in the back bolt mounted outside the unit. It's been fine for a few months now.

Love the plate! I ended up not using one. Two things as an observer: First, get to that ignition key wiring right away! Mine was so over heated that it fried when I was approaching an intersection at night and flashed my brights at a turning truck. As soon as I hit the highbeam the entire bike went dead, leaving me to coast through the intersection while praying. Second, and maybe you already addressed it, but fix and heat shrink your stator wires shown circled in your pic below. Could cause arcing to each other or the frame. Enjoy the R/R! Jack seems like a great guy and I'll be using him again and again in the future for a few other bikes. Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

Since I replaced my fast idle wax unit I decided to dissect the old one for educational purposes. I've heard some say that there is no wax and it's only a hyperbolic spring. Some have said that it's just wax that expands and shrinks under temperature. And others say it's just a hyperbolic spring in submerged in coolant. In fact, no coolant touches any part of the internals. There are no coolant passages inside the FIWU chamber. As the coolant passes through below the unit, it's temperature increase and decrease has an affect on a copper base. This in turn does in fact liquefy some form of compound, in turn pushing and pulling the pin that interacts with the starter valve base plate on the throttle body assembly. The spring is what keeps the pin in any given position based on the temperature of the coolant. In the exploded pic one thing is missing which is the C-clip that keeps it all together. The damn thing flew across the shop and I can't find it, LOL! In my video you'll see the compound melting however because the unit is sectioned it will not have an effect on the pin. You'll see the compound actually work it's way to the top of the pin but this is not what actually happens. Hopefully this provides some sort of education. I thought it was fun. Enjoy. Video:

Holy crap that is one intelligent explanation. Well done Sir, well done. [emoji106] Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

I've seen some conversations about the orientation of these when reinstalling the air box. The manual appears to show them staggered whereas one tall and one short toward the front and the same in back but flipped. Comments? [emoji16] Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

Hey all. I have the right side engine cover off while inspecting my timing chain(s) and started to look at other things as well. In my video below you can see the drive chain gear has movement inward and outward and the chain has a lot of slack. I've read slack in the chain is normal, maybe to 10mm of play. However, does it look a bit much? I'm not certain about that gear movement though either. Almost 70K on my 6th gen. Comments?

Hey all, wondering if you can provide some insight until I can clear out my work shed and get her on the lift. 6th Gen VFR: I've noticed a slight drip of seemingly oil since I got the bike a couple weeks ago. As she sits for a couple days, there will only be a drip on the ground, not much. However, I decided to take a few pictures from under the bike as well as a video which shows a bit more detail. The "drip" comes from the right side of the bike just about where the top of the center stand is and it spreads onto the exhaust pipe and cat. As I look under the bike I see a mess of shininess all along the pan and my guesses are maybe the oil pan gasket or one of the valve cover gaskets. I won't really know until I can get her out into my work shed and put her in the air. It's dry around the oil filter (see video), it seems like clean oil. Wondering if there's a common issue with the VFR that I should be aware of? What are your thoughts? I appreciate any chiming in. Vid:

Hey everyone, Scott here sometimes known as "Aced It" on other forums. I'm 53, I don't care for long walks on the beach, screw Pina Coladas (I'll have a whiskey please), and I'm a Honda freak. That is all. ... Haha, well I have a bit more to say still. Where to start. Well, I'm a motor head. I grew up around hot-rods and custom cars. I owned a speed shop and managed a race team in the late 90's into the early 2000's. I love bikes and I love customizing as a hobby. I recently acquired a 2006 Honda VFR Interceptor to add to my stable. There's a story behind how it came to me, but first I add that my other rider is my custom '91 Honda Shadow VLX. I also have several customs in process but they have slowed due to life changes in the past couple years and current situations. Those include a 1980 Honda CB750, a 1978 Yamaha XS750 kicker, and a comissioned 1978 Honda GL1000 Goldwing that I'm building for a friend. Nothing is going fast here, other than the VFR, lol. A few past customs I'm proud of are my 2003 Honda ACE 750, a 1982 Honda CB900, a 1998 Suzuki Intruder 800, a restoration of a 1982 Honda Magna V45, etc, etc, etc. And I've had plenty of other scoots in the past too. Okay, to the story of how the VFR became mine. About 5 years ago a young neighborhood friend called me and said that a friend of hers was having trouble with his scoot. She asked if I'd mind helping him, and I agreed of course. Since then I've done a lot of work on this young man's bikes and have treated him like a son. He's an awesome kid that I've seen graduate high-school and go on to becoming a UPS driver making $30 an hour. He's a go-getter in life, believes strongly in family and friends, and I'm proud of that. I've never considered charging him for any work, although I bought his 1998 Suzuki Intruder (yes, same one from above) when he lost all oil and blew the engine. A few weeks ago he comes to hang out and help me a bit with the GL1000 build. He shows me a picture on his phone of a 2001 Yamaha FZ1 and asks what I think. I said it was a cool bike, but he better not be thinking of selling his '84 Honda Sabre V65 (beautiful bike). He said of course not and said he thought about it for me. My reply was that I was not in a state right now to purchase another bike. He then proceeds to tell me he wanted to do something nice for me. After some time of me trying to talk him down, he told me to get over it and let's start looking. Damn, I mean DAMN! I've never had anyone do something like this for me. He said it was for those years of me working on his bikes, from maintenance to overhauls, and never asking for a dime. Fast forward, I found the Interceptor. It's a one-owner bike, 68K miles but fully maintained with all service records, Two-Brothers exhaust, excellent Michelin Pilot tires, smoked windscreen and I believe that's all. Since I acquired her I eliminated the plastic rear plate hanger, removed the intake snorkel, completed the PAIR and flapper mod, and lowered the rear via the triangle method and front. Okay, here's a few pics, VFR and some others...
