  1. Old thread I know.

    I noticed you said the teflon was worn off on the bushings. I read a lot of how-to's before I changed my fluid and from your pic they look good. The bottom bushing as the teflon on the outside and the smaller/upper bushing has the teflon on the inside. The copper color on the outside of the smaller one is normal.

  2. Be careful if you use this on old carbs that are the grey cast aluminum ones. I let a couple soak and after a few days I took them out. It made the aluminum to start rubbing off.

    You can always boil carbs.

    I'm not doubting you, just makes me wonder why if it doesn't seem to hurt rubber?

    Beats me. I dunked two little sleeve type carbs for a 80 degree single piston engine. The aluminum looks like lead weights. Made the aluminum slippery and just rubbed off on my glove.

  3. The key part of the vid and you hid the camara , did you pee on your finger, where did the wetness come from?

    I just don't understand why you went to all the trouble of the video and not show the where the leakage was coming from.

    Its like reading a book and skipping a chapter of key info

    He probably doesn't have a tripod. You can't stick one hand's finger down the tbody with out the other one opening the butterfly and turning the key on.

  4. Ran Rotella Triple protection 15w-40 in my vfr and ER-6N with no problems this summer. Now that the cold is hitting, I'm back to using Honda syn w/ moly 10w-40. Only get the moly stuff here. I've put 20k miles with it and no problems.

  5. Just placed an order with keith. He did save me a bunch. I had 12 items and total was $202 shipped. Went onto hondaparts-dirct and just the water pump, rad cap, and 4 insulstors was $200. Discounts rock!

    I didnt want to replace my water pump but i jinxed myself after telling someone it hasnt weeped in a year. Now its doing it again. I thought this bike was suppose to last forever. LOL

  6. Time to temporary mount the RC cooler.

    The mount on the cooler is more offset than the stock one. It'll be a little closer to the right rad.

    VFRoilcoolerswap17Large.jpg

    Here's the fun tedious fun part. Bending the lines to fit. You'll be pulling them out and putting back multiple times. The right one I used a rubber mallet. I placed the right oil line on the ground with the cooler mount upward. I smacked it down with the mallet. No science there.

    The left side you have to twist the oil cooler line where it bolts to the cooler. I used a pair of pliers and my manly strength. Of course a vise would have made it easier.

    VFRoilcoolerswap29Large.jpg

    Once they're lined up as good as possible, get the engine side ready.

    The middle o-ring is what I used. I also used one smaller one to fit inside that one. Double the sealing. LOL

    VFRoilcoolerswap23Large.jpg

    Bolt the oil cooler lines on first, then bolt the cooler to it's brackets second, and last bolt the engine side of the oil lines.

    The right side does have a slight problem. Since the line is lowered from the oil rad being taller.

    VFRoilcoolerswap28Large.jpg

    The left side has no problem with hitting anything.

  7. Got her done.

    Loosened the stock cooler and let it hang.

    VFRoilcoolerswap1Large.jpg

    VFRoilcoolerswap10Large.jpg

    I was hoping I wouldn't but I had to drain the oil. I tried using an 8mm wrench, but the bolt started stripping. Had to get a socket on them.

    VFRoilcoolerswap2Large.jpg

    VFRoilcoolerswap3Large.jpg

    Once the oil drains, then you can unbolt the oil lines from the engine.

    Left side.

    VFRoilcoolerswap4Large.jpg

    VFRoilcoolerswap6Large.jpg

    Right side.

    VFRoilcoolerswap5Large.jpg

    VFRoilcoolerswap9Large.jpg

    Luckily the O-rings look brand new. Not even smashed.

    VFRoilcoolerswap8Large.jpg

    VFRoilcoolerswap7Large.jpg

    Might as well wash the lines. Just tiny spot rust here and there. Maybe I'll order new ones or have them powder coated.

  8. Got my RC51 cooler in the mail today. its the same with as the vfr's, but is 5 rows instead of 3. Also got a 6th gen oil cooler in. I'll try to do a test for each one but one promises. Since I dont have an oil cooler gauge all I can go by is the coolant gauge and using a thermal temp gauge.

    I do have a GSXR 1000, but I'll use it as a last resort. It's a lot bigger and I'll have to cut the oil lines.

    I think 5th gen is 2 row, and 6th gen, a 3 row. -- Veefer800Canuck installed a 2nd gen 3 row on his 5th gen, dunno if he's still running it.

    I'm gonna stick with my original post.

  9. Which RC51 oil cooler you going to use? The '00-'01 SP1 or the '02-'06 SP2?

    The 00-01. They are silver and only one port is twisted. The 02-06 are black and both ports are twisted like the 6th gen's.

    Here's the three Honda's. From top to bottom. 5th gen - 6th gen - RC51 ('00-'01)

    As you can see. The ports are a tad bigger.

  11. It's like your arteries clogging up. Injectors clog up, no running bike. Arteries clog up, no living human. Well at least your bike has a better chance of making it through. LOL

    I'm gonna take a leap and say its all the crap they put in gasoline. I wonder how my bike would react to gasoline back in the day. Before all the additives and such.

    Anybody know how many holes are in the 5th gen injectors?
