Wicked small Garage. Almost more motorcycles than anyone really needs. Almost. 😁

Cool. Just covering the bases. Clutch

Here is my sprockets I haven't taken em off as all looks intact

Shop kinda looks like you're curing motorcycle parts...

Some progress: Reprogrammed the RapidBike Racing 'ECU' from VFR800 6th gen to 5th gen 'in bench mode' (so, only connected to USB cable / adapter), which is possible when you have the full license of 'Rapid Bike Master'. Received the Sumitomo connector stuff to elon(musk)gate the cable to/from the crankshaft sensor: Found a way to elongate the cable on the 'ECU' end to allow placement on right side of rear seat subframe (behind the tupperware): Shopping list: MX23A34XF1, MX23A34NF1, MX23A34SF1, M23S05K351 and/or M23S05K4F1 (JAE Electronics). Will require a small/simple layout custom circuit board, but no worries. Regarding the 6th gen throttling body suggestion: according to this information the swap would be far from straight and I'll give the 4 hole CBR929RR injectors a shot.

OK. Clutch would be my move with the info I have.

No. Had mine off a few years back. Did not need to remove the headers, just the muffler obviously. Added a photo that I found showing the rear header still on and the swingarm removed. I eventually removed the shock and serviced the dogbone, then lifted the rear with a hoist and removed the centerstand for service also. It was a while I'm in there kind of week.

They look fine the bike sat for half its life as the guy who sold it to me for 1k knew it had existing problems like the 1 sensor I fix he said that cause him to become a paraplegic it got stuck full throttle on em and sent him flying into a street light pole. Nonetheless I already have everything but the clutch kit

Does anyone know for sure if I need to remove the rear exhaust headers to remove S.S. swing arm?

Just for giggles... What do your chain and sprockets look like?

I'm not seeing what you're seeing. Unless that bolt that is holding your starter clutch housing has come loose, I don't think anything has become dislodged.

Also looking at the drive gear in the pic compared to the manual it looks as if it dislodged

If you HAD to try and get the bike to it's next home (hopefully not too far away), you could rough up the metal discs radially with some emery cloth and clean them real good. Maybe lightly scuff the fibers and clean/re-oil. Do not remove any gasket remnants and re-install cover with HondaBond letting it dry overnight. If re-filled with oil, keep it on the side stand until morning. I have done that for a friend just so he could get it to his house and not keep it at mine waiting to be able to buy the partss and taking up my valuable space. The risk is it strands you again if it works at first. Good luck.

I sure hope so... I mean I've seen bikes in worst condition where there was no padding left to the friction plates and the bike would not grab and go but after cleaning and relubbing the ones in the Pic since there was still padding I thought maybe it was something else causing the issue

Only using that pic and your description of events to form an opinion... You're clutch is fried. It is just spinning, not grabbing. Getting everything hot in the process. New metals, frictions and springs would be my move.

And yes that's a 4k Pic what you see is actually how they look in person

Hey bud sorry for the early on ambiguous/ rude reply just very fustrated working 8 plus hrs everyday to configure this demon. Nonetheless, thanks as you are always spot on time to any forum I post and I can't thank you enough for all the support you given me along the way.

That what my grandparents always told me sometimes it just needs a good ol whack or 2

That video was amazing. Thanks a millie helped alot. I even gain knowledge of the 1 way valve trick by holding the line as you press the lever.

Are those metal discs as black and blue as they appear in your pic?

I found out that mines was the sensor located under the seat right behind the right side farring I think it was the MAF sensor. See I actually dropped into 1st gear and I saw the skies in a nano second my firend the bike went to 11 o clock, I almost died that day saw a mack truck bulldog emblem upside down and some how I got it to land and hit the cut switch and called my hitch bud. Deff don't try riding like that its a death trap.

Here again with yet another problem my V God's. So after installing new clutch master slave cylinder last summer bled it fine bike drove like a dream up until I parked it and covered it for this year rides upon trying to take it out for a spin I got about half a mile out from home and she felt as if it went straight into neutral. Nonetheless, I had to walk the old dinosaur home on a full tank of gas I just got. Upon inspecting it I found the slave cylinder was leaking so I replaced it with an Oberon as I'd thought the oem seal or piston was shot and didn't wanna reinstall for it to leak again. Bled it, then removed all cases off. I see when I push the clutch handle the pressure plate moves so it seems to be doing its job right. (Furthermore, the bike rolls fine in neutral and changes gears but still feels like its in neutral). I took the clutch plates out let me know what you guys think please as I only have to the 1st to be out of my current housing situation...

Well if all the fuses are OK and the battery has voltage, maybe the issue is with one of the relays. When I got my VFR1200 do-up, I powered it up briefly from an external battery and jumper cables and also heard a pop followed by deadness. When I finally installed a new battery, everything worked fine. I am not sure whether the action of connecting and disconnecting the battery caused something to reset, but everytime the battery is reattached there is some activity, mainly visible from the sweep of the tacho needle.

The photo is of the Elf Honda 500 GP bike; they had all sorts of experimental chassis developed by ex F1 engineer Andre de Cortanze, starting with the 1000cc IL4 endurance bikes and finishing with the V3 and V4 NS and NSR 500 engines. But this is definitely where the Elf single-sides swingarm originates which is why some VFR's have the ELF sticker there. The photo below is from the Honda museum at Motegi, Japan.

👍For the white wheels on a 5th Gen. 👍Another if you got the rear to look that good without removing the tire.
