Pray tell the folly of such situation?

Correctemundo!!

Can anyone here confirm that the temp sender on a 5th Gen (2001) is 10mm x 1.25mm. Really don't want to.have to pull mine in my 25f garage. 🙂 Thanks

The coil on plug conversion is quick and easy and would solve the coil placement issue. GSXR 750/1000 coils can be had for $40-$50 on eBay, standard Denso coil. Use CBR1000R ('08-'11) coil harness ($10) for a clean plug in solution. .

TWO 1200s! Definitely English eccentricity!

Non motorcyclists think that we bikers are ALL weird to be engaging in such a dangerous pursuit! 😲😀 WEIRD is good! They will never experience the joy of being on two very fast wheels!

Very interesting on how you will modify your bike with the cooler, please keep us updated with step by step pictures, I might also upgrade the cooling capacity with a similar laminiva cooler down the road

Yup! We know that the thread was meant to be humourous!

Engine definitely not a VFR

new TBs ready to go in--degreased, new vac lines, new gaskets for fuel rails, new choke wax, got injectors serviced (huge shoutout to curt at advancedinjector.com), and got it all put back together. decided the easiest and least butcherous way to adapt the wiring was to take the 5th gen harness and cut and splice the injector connectors from the 6th gen harness, since the main plug on the newer harness doesn't reach nearly as far as it needs to. other than that, though, there're quite a few nice upgrades from the older unit: idle adjusts with a nice big comfy thumbwheel, connections to throttles and airbox for choke/idle are just cast in instead of needing all those extra hoses, fuel rails bolt in from the top instead of the bottom, throttle cable brackets are way easier to get cables in and out of, and the injectors are multi-hole versus single-hole, which i've heard helps with smoothness and keeping temps down. only other niggle is now i need to figure out where the #1 and #3 coils are going to live, since the 6th gen airbox doesn't have the coil mounts on it. at any rate, hopefully this is the end of my injector woes; now i just have to hope i haven't created an entirely new set of problems by trying to use newer parts on stock electronics, although i'm fairly sure i've done exactly that. but once i'm out of this cold snap, i'll plop it on and then hope and pray that this thing finally kicks over. also found time to stick the new fan in; i added the relay out of an abundance of caution about the stock circuit not being able to handle the way higher current draw. now the stock circuit just switches the relay, which provides power to the fan from a direct (fused) line from the battery. it boggles my mind that neither this bike nor my SV650 came with fan relays from factory, though i guess the wimpy fans they came with didn't put much strain on the temp switch. anyway, this new fan fits great, which is awesome considering how little room there is for fans on the vfr, so i'm hoping this preemptively solves any overheating issues.

Someone put some work into this. Sorry about FaceBroke link but my wife came across it & I can't find it elsewhere. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/17yghFyboK/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Bars will be in exactly same orientation albeit 32mm higher. Aliexpress do em cheap, no better or worse than OEM risers, dunno what shipping is like to USA tho.

This is me.....

Oooh, pot to kettle

Never mind about @Skids ; he's English. They are WEIRD!!! Red's for the WIN....

A common thread for me...waiting for parts or tools. 🙄

Great idea and will try if need be. Exactly what I did, and did make a difference. Great minds.....(forget about the last part of the saying) I did not but used a known good battery from antoher bike. Every thing looked and sounded right except for dry plugs. That said it could be that more than one thing with one being on the cusp of failure.

I find small but noticeable improvements on NC30 and RC30 which have pretty slick gearshifts as standard - the effect is greater on the RC36 with its infamous `kicking a brick` stock shift...

Gentleman, I beg to differ. 😉

They need a thicker blanket....

Ok you lot! Share the pictures of yous making this Dutch delicacy!!!

Sorry dear....
