Hello all VfR 800 1999 5th gen For the past weeks I’ve delved into fixing all the small and complex issues from my vfr, but it seems that I’m completely stuck with some topic in particular. Chronological Order of Events: 1. Initial Symptom: - The engine began to exhibit hesitation and jerky movements while maintaining a steady throttle position. 2. Diagnostic Code: - I’ve got a long blink indicating an error code 10, pointing to an issue with the barometric sensor. 3. Sensor Replacement: - After conducting some tests, I’ve bought a barometric sensor from a 6th generation model and installed it. 4. Resolution of Error Code: - The replacement of the sensor eliminated the error code, and normal operation seemed to resume, so I’ve continued with the repairs. 5. Throttle Valve Synchronization: - During the synchronization of the throttle valves/starter valves, I’ve encountered an issue with cylinder number 2. Detailed Issues and Questions: 1. Cylinder 2 Synchronization Issue: - Cylinder number 2 could not be synchronized; adjusting the screw only decreased the vacuum, and completely unscrewing it did not increase the vacuum beyond 1.8 cmHg. - Question: Could the mechanism be broken, or is there another issue I'm overlooking? Is it possible for a vacuum leak to affect only one cylinder's adjustment, despite all four cylinders sharing the same intake from the airbox? The hose from cylinder #2 does not appear to be cracked. 2. Power Delivery Delay: - After reassembling and testing the bike, a delay in power delivery was experienced during rapid and forceful acceleration, nearly causing a loss of control. - Subsequent testing revealed an error code 8, indicating a potential issue with the TPS (throttle position sensor). - Question: Can a vacuum leak be related to the issues I'm experiencing, including the inability to adjust cylinder number 2 and problems with the TPS sensor? 3. TPS Grounding Concern: - Research on various forums suggested that the TPS could be grounded, although the contacts appeared to be correctly in place. - A resistance measurement between the negative pole of the battery and the engine block showed approximately 200 milliohms. - Question: Is this resistance value normal? I'm not an expert, but having resistance on the engine block itself seems unusual. Please let me know if you need further assistance or clarification on any of these points. And thanks for your help!

I noticed that location data isn't available in a photo's EXIF info. I know that it needs to be encoded to the file before uploading, and I do so for all my images. Then when uploading there was an option to display it or not. What am I missing? signed, Blind in Toledo

Hello, New to the group and new to VFRs. Picked up a 2006 VFR with 8k miles. I got a Power Commander III to help with the dip in responsiveness/performance between 4k-6k RPM. Looking for someone to share a MAP to a PCIII or PC V that they run on their bike. My bike is stock with exception to the Power Commander. Any help would be awesome to get a MAP that someone is actually using or has experience with to upload to my bike. Any other suggestions for improving the performance I will gladly listen to. Thanks so much for the help and this group. Some really great content on here. Thanks!

I've been trying to figure out how to get a States Visited map of the states I have visited. Any one have a comprehensive explaination on how to get an original, fill in states with color, etc., including software needed? An explaination would be greatfully appreciated. Thanks in advanced for your consideration.

A while back I put a thread up about how I am still learning what the previous owner did to my bike and how I am slowly uncovering it. I'm at the point where I feel I know enough about the bike's mod history and I've done enough on my own to look into tuning it for better performance and longevity. What's been done: Two Brothers exhaust (came with bike) Gutted cat (I am 90% sure bike came like this since the exhaust smells strong) Power Commander 3 USB (came with bike) PAIR Valve block off (did myself - bike popped BADLY and it fixed it) O2 sensor eliminator (just resistors - did myself) I am wondering if there are PCIII maps available for the kind of modifications done to the bike, or if I should just take it to a tuning shop? Additionally thinking about added a cat back in, if it was removed - the bike sounds great but damn that exhaust is strong and I feel like it stays on you for a while after you ride, not so good for riding to an office. Or wondering if a tune to identify if the bike is rich to begin with and then leaning it out would help.
