1999 5th gen Honda vfr800fi spark plugs, fuel pump, oil change, air filter, seat cover

Here’s my redneck “guide” on how to clap out your motorcycle. Probably don’t listen to anything I said here including the mistakes lol

Good video, Thanks! Your about the 100th person to find the plugs lose with some oil on them. The oil is apparently normal due to the design of the head/plug sleeve. The general consensus on the lose plugs is that they were not properly torqued on the assembly line. Google it you'll find many accounts of the exact issue and I personally had the same experience. Bike ran great the whole time. Your threads are most likely just fine. Fortunately I changed my plugs soon after buying the bike. Never had them come lose again, I check them every off season.

Man i got myself a VFR800 couple of weeks ago. Love the bike. Even got the 50 year anniversary edition first owner with 107kkm on it. Thank you for the video this helps a lot. Bit you should look into deleting the snorkel in the airbox and the stupid vakuum activated valve thingy on there. People say it will run way smoother in low rpm and has better throttle response.
Cheers

Right on Brother! Not a bad idea I’ll have to get that done 🤙

Important to torque the spark plugs……the reason the threads get stripped is because “they say” you do 1/2 a turn after installing to finger tight…..that’s why the Honda engineers specified a torque….

what is that broken connection in the first 30 secs of video? I have a gen 5 1998 with the bottom broken pipe but not top pipe to join
