  1. It's a new project. But I'm determined. 99 vfr800. Bought it as a project and am tearing into it... bodies aren't terrible, needs a few misc parts... I'll check mileage when I plop a battery back in. As for pictures, I'm tryin to get those figured out

  2. Terrible design. I just did this from a project that's obviously been sitting... what a joke...
  3. That is some engineering shiite right there... how would you have known that those two points are specific for that reason? 🤔
  4. @DrErgal i'm eye balling this for later.... thank you so much gor the thread...
  5. It's your fuel pump. I've had the same thing. Stranded 4 hrs from home. It'll kill your battery too. Brand new 29$ piece of shit... buy the k&l fuel pump. It's a direct Mitsubishi fuel pump. Worth 170$ !
  6. Man... you need to use the search bar. How many miles? How does it look? How hard has it been ridden? last time the oil was changed?...... 'Do these bikes have the TOS?' I DUNNO Again, i'm a carb'd street & track rider, so take my advice with a grain of salt... check these things... PLEASE -Sidestand switch- -clutch lever switch- -ignition switch- ^No power loss all the time, just random? ^No dead battery? ^no dimming so it's not the stator or reg/rect... ^smooth or bumpy roads? ^
  7. I agree with this statement. I only wish I were sponsored by Dunlop... I buy them in bulk 😁
  8. I’m a +1 on those HEL brake lines. I have 4 bikes with them installed… front race lines, clutch and rear… upgraded re-valved rear shock from Jamie, and 1.0 front spring with 15w oil. Its a lil on the stiff side solo if yer just cruisin around, but handles really well in the corners at speed. Long jaunts fully geared, pillion, and hard riding too still rides great! 680 miles in a day, and we were still able to walk lol *I am looking into vtr1000 forks…
  9. You could even ask tyga. There pretty quick with email.
  10. The stock 3rd gen is a giant kidney muffler hugging the oil pan… factory design
  11. I’ve tried to keep this one stock except for the reg/rect, fuel pump, suspension, brake lines, tire sizes. Agreed on them being thirsty! The other viffers have less on the tank by jetting …
  12. Took off with my wife this weekend. We haven’t ridden in a couple of years because of work, kids, and grandkids… this is one of the newer builds that came as a basket.. nothing special. Just rippin n havin fun for 250 miles out, another 250 while we were at our destination, then our 250 home… these 3rd gens keep the grins a goin. Throttle opened all the way… 5 gallon tank at 140 max miles out of a tank. 🤭 We did have a little 30 mile jaunt over gravel roads which kept things very interesting😁 I was going to load pics… one of these days 🤣 someone from here may have seen us… wubbah side down y’all 😉 IMG_8316.mov
  13. Which year vfr?
  14. Remember… BUELL has the belly pan exhaust. I’ve done a few mock ups with plastic pipe. Its part of my winter project… I’ve been thinking about this for a couple of years…
  15. Learned a lot on this topic…
  16. Did you figure it out? I was looking into getting some as well…
  17. Either he’s figured it out, or on vacation since he posted 🤣

      I planned to run a set of Dunlop Q4 I had in the closet, but once mounted the 60 series rear was too tall and hit the swingarm. So the front got a Q4 and the rear kept he RoadSmart III sport touring tire! lol

  19. lol sidestand switch… I’ll check that first all day
  20. ^^^Fuck anyone saying shit like that^^^ we don’t ride our bikes to appease others… I hate(yes hate) people with opinions like that… suck an egg squirrel do you have a vfr? Have you EVER run it uncorked? yeup… thought so… and another thing… are you on the hawk forum? O think I know you there too
  21. YOU SHOULD RIDE MORE ON THE SAME BIKE… it changes the questions you’re asking, and the reasons… 🤣
  22. Good to see yer kickin around sir @ej90vfr 🤣
