    Part 4: Filling up the completely empty brake system with all pistons hydraulically connected was relatively easy on the rear: By putting the caliper in different orientations, it was possible to get the air out and alternating bleeding on both available brake bleed nipples. Filling up the front took more effort. There is less length of brake line to allow different orientations. But, two calipers connected to one reservoir with a t-split is expected to be harder than the rear. I bolted on a ProBrake blanking plug for closing up the middle piston oil connection (Z0244-10125, M10x1.25). For the brake bleed nipples I took the Nissin MCB-K39. Something came in for a possible next project:

    Woud you like to find more on how to adjust the VTEC valves in a 6th gen?

    A few things... - What is the mileage on the bike? - Something is borked, so your going have to cut into the system no matter waht. - Post photos of what you have for the wiring. That all said, you may as well cut the yellow wires close to the R/R and strip them. You cant test them otherwise. So I am refering in posts that say test AB/BC/CA that the yellow wires are connected to the multimeter. - The ground thing not happening... Like this... ---- I have a spare stator. The tests are 1.AC Voltage with engine running. 2. Resistance like my photo. 3. Each leg A to ground, B to ground, C to ground.. frame is fine. --- Stator wires are disconnected from the R/R. After you do all this.... Wahtcha got?

    Part 3: On left side of the hard brake line I reused a small part of the original brake line and grinded it down to act as dumb spacer (see below) to allow equal placement/mounting: When I unmounted my right brake caliper I noticed the following displacement of the retainer: I am not the first with this issue. The retainer can move due to wear of the caliper bracket. Maybe I used an aftermarket brake pad that has somewhat shorter distance than the Honda original (from top to bottom hole for the retainer pin)? I discarded the caliper bracket. When the rear suspension was removed (leaking preload adjuster), I noticed some damage to the tape around the wiring harness (between the battery and top bracket of the rear suspension) and I have added some wire harness tape: How it looks at the rear:

    I have zero interest to "Find more on the linked brake system"... As long as you're not asking sealant to hold brake hydraulic pressure... keep on keepin' on.
  13. Worfje
    An original delay valve has three 'brake line' connections and 'interacts with the other circuitry' and has three holes for mounting to somewhere (on a stock VFR800). In my case, I removed all internal parts and filled it up with sealant. Making it a dumb mounting bracket. Find more on the linked brake system (and how a original delay valve interacts) here.

    Thankyou for your reply. I had a new battery from another bike that's known to be good bit will get this one tested asap. For the testing of the yellow wires there isn't a plug/pin to test if that makes sense. It's had heat shrink around where the wires have been soldered previously. There is a plug coming out of the reg/rec but that seems to go to the battery rather than the stator. So I got the multimeter and placed the negative probe onto the battery terminal and set it to AC and then placed the red probe onto the solder. But it didn't come up with a reading. Should I be connecting the yellow wires together? Could I place the red probe across wire 1 and 2 to get a reading. Or am I getting completely confused? Thankyou so much for trying to help!

    Made it about 15mintues today and then bike blew another fuse... Time to put it away for a bit then probably a tow to Honda .
  17. mello dude
    Looks like you have the classic OEM R/R death.... I would put my buck on that... But always... its battery first, get a load test on the battery, confirm its good. Next test your stator correctly too..... 1. Continutity to ground... looks like you did this. 2. AC volts test... You need to be able to connect the yellow wires.... A to B, B to C, C to A... disconnected from R/R --- Engine running, Multimeter on AC volts. 15ish at idle... 50+ at 5000 RPM or better --- readings 3. Again AB, BC, BA... engine stopped.... Resitance each leg, 1.0 ohms or less. --- Great timing VeeEffArah

    Hi, I have a VFR 800 1999 that currently is draining the battery when riding, I'm trying to find out if it's the regulator/rectifier that's given or giving up or the stator or both. It looks like the reg/rec has been replaced as the 3 yellow wires coming from the stator have been soldered instead of using a plug. However there is still a plug coming from the reg/rec but looks in good condition. I have tested the following. ▪️Battery on the bike before starting is 12.85volts ▪️Battery climbs to 13.80volts when idling but fluctuating. ▪️When lights are turned on this drop to 12.15volts. When reving the bike the volts don't go past 12.23 when reved. I have check continuity to ground on the 3 yellow wires and there isn't any, which from reading I think is correct? This was done without the bike running. When I started the bike and tested the 3 yellow wires I couldn't get any reading from them, I set the meter to AC and again from reading should see at least 15v and more when reved, but as above couldn't get any reading. I presume I can ground the black wire from the multimeter onto the negative terminal on the battery and then place the red wire onto where they have been soldered on the yellow wires to give me a reading? What other tests could I do or does the above sound like it's the reg/rec or stator. Im by know means a electrian but keen to try and get to the bottom of it before getting it to a garage, any help would be appreciated. Thankyou.

    "mounting bracket" So the threaded holes for the brake lines don't interact with the other circuity at all? If that's the case, Linked Brakes are even more retarded than I thought. Not sure if that's even possible.
  22. Worfje
    The gutted and sealant filled delay valve only serves as mounting bracket for the HEL lines. And indeed, a complete HEL brake lines set was purchased, so no customized set / length possible.

    I am not familiar with the routing in that valve, but are the orifices for the brake lines common with the sealant filled ports?
  25. Ughandi
    Perhaps because the brake lines are already purchased & work. ( as opposed to custom lines to bypass the valve) I get very choosy on how I spend my money too... My bike gets very little in the aesthetics department, for instance, whereas your budget for the pretty bits is clearly orders of magnitude greater than mine 😁

    Does anybody know how to contact Prez aka Satariel who made the ECC unit for the 1200’s? His real name is Przemyslaw Jaworski. His ECC unit has been great but recently lost a rubber cover on one of the switches. I need his help on a replacement.

    Welcome to the forum! @Dutchy is kidding around a bit, because there is another forum for the VFR similar to the language in your thread title. But he's right, too -- this one rocks. 😉
  30. bmatic007
    Yes!! This is great. Thank you for that information. I'm going to reach out to them to see if they will ship to me.

    Me too. Ain't it better to eliminate any useless stuff aboard the bike? If your intention is not to use them, why keeping? (if I understood correctly your plan, obviously...)

    Looks like Iconic has some pieces for sale in their Moto Market, side cases for $650 and an upper for only $149. FWIW I bought some parts from them the other month and all was well with the sale and great communication, you might want to check it out they have some other pieces too for what looks like the RWB model year? https://iconicmotomarket.com/products/honda-vfr800-interceptor-nose-with-lights-64210-mcwa-d000-1?_pos=34&_sid=0f78d2b9f&_ss=r https://iconicmotomarket.com/products/honda-vfr800-interceptor-hard-cases-blue-l-r-1?_pos=22&_sid=2f935ac3c&_ss=r
  34. Captain 80s
    I'm a little confused too. Is it just a mount for some thing now, or is actual hydraulic pressure going thru it still?
  35. kevin80302
    After 24hours of battery charging and the 2 fuses being replaced, the bike runs again. Lets see if it stays running!

      Juniper Pass

      I took a day off from work and also from my bicycle training to take out the Veefalo one last time before the weather turns ugly, supposed to snow the rest of the week and possibly start sticking to the ground along the Colorado Front Range. I took a leisurely pace up hwy 105 toward Morrison and got reacquainted with the bike since its been over a month since I took any sort of twisties on it at all, hwy 105 is a scenic ride along the front range between Denver and Colorado Springs, its mostly easy fast sweepers and lite traffic so its a favorite road of mine when going north. Then I have to negotiate a bit of traffic near Highlands ranch and up hwy 470 into the mountains. I decided to take the Morrison Exit and try either Lookout Mountain or head up Golden Gate Canyon - this time it was Lookout Mountain, I was sort of making it up on the fly as I went along. Lookout Mountain is my old bicycling haunt from my days while I was working at Coors, its a killer ride and all uphill - I don't think I could do it today If I had to, not quite there yet! I saw a whole bunch of riders doing it though and wished I was in shape enough to be there doing it as well. 30 more lbs and I will be able to do it! On this day I would do it on the Veefalo instead.

       

       

       

       

      I took a video from the gateway to the top at the Lookout Mountain State Park, getting past riders, the guy in the green jacket actually pretty much astounded me with how far he had gotten in the short time it took me to set up my camera, some 3 miles at least and up to the gateway from the turn off at hwy 6! Amazing I thought. I took the first two turns slow then got more comfortable as I went up further, till I was doing well, I made some gearing mistakes and took the tight 15mph marked hairpins in the wrong gear so I lugged it a bit on one or two. Still enjoyed it though and then got off at the top and hiked over a rock outcropping for an overview of the road for the pictures below.

      From there I headed up interstate 70 to Idaho Springs for a beer at the Tommy-knockers brewery, I was the only customer in the joint - slow day for them so they treated me like a king! I got a nice tour of the place sort of impromptu, they made me a nice Pastrami sandwich on rye and with the brown ale it was fantastic. I must say the beer is much better there than in the bottles - its always good at the brewery. I am glad I stopped

      I finished my lunch and since the road to Mount Evans is right there I headed up Squaw pass hoping to get in some nice pictures I wasn't expecting what I found, ICE IN ALL THE SHADY PARTS

      gallery_491_3463_419309.png

      Icy patches on Squaw Pass definitely taking it easy on that road

      There were some section where the ice covered the whole road for 300 yards or so I had to roll through it with my legs out to help keep the bike from sliding and falling over, I took it real slow. A Ford pickup was right behind me so I pulled over to let him pass but the guy was going slower then even I was so I pressed on - in places where I could see I just cut over to the oncoming lane and out of the ice where the sun was shining on the road more, but some places there was not alternative so I just had to go slow, good thing it wasn't slick but rather they tossed some gravel over the worst parts so I had some traction!

      I did stop for pictures in all the best spots

      I Am Back !

      gallery_7692_2036_18129.jpg

      Not that it matters and not that I expect anyone had noticed, but to those who sent me "where are you?" I would like to say I am back. Not only that I am officially returning to VFRD after nearly 2 months break but I have also ridden my Hawk last weekend and had FUN! Let me restate that; I had major fun riding! Something I have almost given up on.

      Most of you have been riding your whole adult lives and riding is not only a hobby to you, it is part of you. But I started riding three years ago and even though I have encounter some setbacks, till this spring I loved riding with whole my heart. However, I have always considered riding as my hobby. As a hobby which suppose to make my life better, more fun and more rich. Life is too short to do something which we don't fully love.

      My love of riding received a first major scar this spring: I lost a friend on the racetrack. He was a total stranger who offered me his help after I lowsided at CMP track last year. I still remember hearing his "Hi, my name is Todd, do you need help?" while I was duct-taping my roadrash from ripped jacket. He helped me straighten up the shifter and we kept in touch. The next time we saw each other was the day he died.

      With 9 months delay, I can say that Todd's death shook me more than I have realized. It rooted fear in me which was fueled by seeing and hearing about others getting hurt over and over again. If I was to summarize this year - it would be one big accident report. I became sensitive to every broken bone, every roadrash, every lowside. And even though I did 10 track days this year, I became slower and slower and slower. Suddenly, I have acquired this 'grandma' riding style on the road, frozen with fear that behind every corner there is car standing in my lane, or major sand trap or deer staring at me ... I was crippled with fear not only for me about also for my fellow rider.

      So, at the end of this year, I rode more and more by myself. I could not bear the feelings of responsibility for others on the road and my lines were crippled by my own fears. It all culminated this fall at WDGAH. In a freaky accident Love2rideh82crash was taken down by a truck crossing into our lane. I was done. I finished the weekend, locked the VFR into a garage and took a break.

      Until the last weekend, I pretended that motorcycles do not exists. As a last instance after 2 months break from riding, I decided to go to CMP track to see if I can still have fun. I also felt like I should go for the memory of Todd. I went and I had fun! I had much more fun than I expected and the most fun on track I can remember. Suddenly the whole track connected into an uninterupted line of turns and I felt one with the bike riding around! I was giggling like a little girl in my helmet and keep on giggling ever since smile.gif

      Granted I was not the fastest one and through out the weekend, I have never exceeded about 60% of my riding abilities, but I had no "oh-shit" nor 'blond' moments. I could have maybe go faster, I could have brake later for the turns and I could have lean further, but I am no Rossi nor Stoner. I decided to ride for fun and I had amazing blast riding well within my comfort zone.

      I was proud of myself when, after bandaging Ricks arm, I was able to distance myself and go back to riding without the year-long fear. I did feel bad for him but the feelings were not crippling my lines nor my mind. And when a total stranger came to me and said "Hi, my name is Todd", my heart stopped for a minute though but I suddenly knew that my life went a full circle. I probably will never win MotoGP :idea3: , but I am back! :wheel:
