@Bob Sacamano agree, but we all know that his safe riding can't guarantee that a minivan won't make a left-hand turn right in front him.

Love that bike! Those things sound so awesome.

It does.. its such a shame Honda discontinued it. I think this 90degree V4 with the 180deg crank is the best of them all regarding sound.

Gotta love that V4 sound... I have the motad stainless system and a delkevic big bore on mine..

Köszönöm! A videód visszahozta az emlékeket. Néhány éve eladtam az RC36/II motoromat, és azóta igencsak bánom. Ilyen hangot semmi más nem tud. Ráadásul az én nyugis, laza stílusomban motorozol, szóval minha visszaültem volna rá míg néztem...

V4- the best sound 🤘

Love it!! Can’t wait to buy one soon! Only one test left for my license!

Always happy to motivate others 😁 but if that is your first bike be careful, and prepare for dropping it 1-2 times. Heavy as all hell and high speeds feel “safe” on it because of how stable it is.

I think apart from the rectifier (which will almost definitely die at some point), it is kind of bulletproof. Clutches tend to rattle at idle, especially when cold, but many times it is not a problem. If you install a voltage meter to monitor charging and change the oil this engine should work basically forever.

The problem with rectifiers in this bike is not the rectifier itself. The problem is that honda engineers put It in the wrong place where the fresh air can't cool It. If you put your rectifier in a better place, It will last almost forever.

Great sound VFR 👍👍👍

How did you adjust your clutch handle position? I mean my gf has a rc36 but hers only starts crawling at the very end of the clutch handle...

@Stahlkatze

Жыл бұрын

Well this one also disengages at the very start, but I think thats how it should be with hydraulics. Isnt it just too far away for her hand? You can adjust the stock lever closer, but it will still disengage at the very start of the pull.

Exactly that its too far away, she has to open up her hand almost whole to reach the part where its 10% from full release.

What did you change on your exhaust? Sounds pretty Good!

@Stahlkatze

Thanks mate :-D Scrapped all the factory interior. It has a large straight perforated tube with metal fiber packing around it like a normal race exhaust, and an additional large baffle at the start. This way it generates some backpressure to have a stable idle and also it is much more quiet than a fully open system while still having enough bass in it :-D I think having the dB killer at the end of the muffler like in normal sport exhausts results in effective sound suppression but also it kills all the lower frequencies that are needed for a nice deep tone.

If that is full throttle, then your VFR is lacking a lot of power.

@@Stahlkatze It is hard to jugde just by seeing the video, but I get the impression that the accelleration is not as hard as with my bone stock 1991 RC36/1 with 54.oookm on the odo. Maybe the jetting needs to be adjusted according to the modified exhaust? Anyways...sound ist awesome and Hungary / Budapest is a magnificent place to be ( I work for a company that has an office in Budapest that I sometimes visit), especially because you don´t get stabbed by uninvited people unlike here in Germany.

Well I didnt pull full throttle in this one (and rarely do anyway, like to cruise more), butit could be weaker. This is a swiss model which had 47kW stock, but it was derestricted before I bought it. The intake boots were replaced to full diameter ones, and based on spark plug color the jetting was adjusted as well. Ignition however seems to be the swiss one with the revlimit down at 11500. If the ignition advance curve is also different, then it is likely the bike still lacks a bit of power, but certainly not much, it pulls pretty hard from 6k on😅 Anyway I wanted to first build some technique and then speed, but if my speed never gets too high Im still fine with that 😁

There was no full throttle here. It is possible the bike lacks power, either not having been fully derestricted, or being worn out. I sometimes try full power for fun but in this video I was practicing cornering so it was not the point.
