This is a video i made last summer. A cold start, warming up and a short ride on my 94 Honda VFR 750 F

[@randynickels7363]

Nice video, sounds great. I have a 1999 VFR800 with a Delkevic 350mm and can't get enough of the music it plays while I ride. A quick tip I learned a few years ago - to eliminate the loud clunk when shifting into first gear at startup, pull the clutch lever in for about 15-20 seconds, then shift into first. No clunk. This works on any wet clutch bike. Thanks for the vid!

[@JacobAnnema]

Randy Nickels , hi Randy, thanks for your comments and also for the tip.

[@joelbrittenour8197]

I have 2001 VFR .If I have the clutch out then I soon as I pull it in shift into first I'm emediately seems to work. Might need clutch slave rebuilt.

[@peterscott225]

Ahh I miss mine had one exactly the same! and four others over the years ...just a beautiful piece of engineering.

[@JacobAnnema]

Hello Peter,I understand what you mean. I bought the new honda rebel this year and thought about to trade in the vfr for a while but i am glad I kept the vfr.

[@GeoffreyGodshall]

I bought an early one back in '94. Another dealer had me financed and everything for a used '93. The Honda guys dealer beat the offer. They had two of them plus an RC45 (for 27K). Nothing was selling so they let mine go cheap. Just to get it out in public.Charleston, SC. Brings back so many memories. I ended up trading it in for a '98 Superhawk. An equally great bike. Miss them both. Was convinced to get an RC-51 in 2000. Mistake. Sold it soon after for a loss. Reg Pridmore even adjusted my VFR throttle cable for me at Road America in WI back in '97. The student bikes were all '95 VFR's. So cool. Would have taken the CLASS if it weren't such a long commute. Good memories.

[@JacobAnnema]

Hi, thank you for your comment. I bought this VFR new in '94. Now it's 2020 and I still have it. I thought about selling it a few times, but I'm glad I didn't. It remains a special motorcycle

Het blijft een geweldige fiets; ik heb nu een 800 FI, maar als ik het geld en de accommodatie ervoor had, dan stonden er vermoedelijk drie machines in mijn garage, de RC 24, de RC36 en de RC 46. Veel plezier Jacob, motorrijden is een van de weinige vrijheden die we nog hebben momenteel, geniet ervan!

[@JacobAnnema]

Hoi Marc , bedankt voor je bericht. Het blijft zeker een geweldige fiets , vooral het geluid. Die machines die jij noemt zijn hele mooie paradepaardjes , maar voorlopig doe ik het nog met mijn vfr ,cb ,rebel en msx.

Absolutes gutes Deutsch.ICH fahre eine von 1995 in Blaugrün Metallic. Ein fantastisches Töff. Bis jetzt sprang sie nach der Winterpause immerhin bei der 3. Motorumdrehung an. Schauen wir mal.

[@JacobAnnema]

Ja, es ist ein fantastisches Motorrad, ich bin auch froh, dass ich es immer noch habe und nicht getauscht habe

[@nigelmitchell351]

I found that my fireblade started best by just raising the tick over screw about a third of turn, without choke unless very cold then no more than a quarter. Then return screw to original position. It did not like the throttle twisted at all during start up.

[@JacobAnnema]

Thanks for your comment and information. Sorry for my late respons.

[@nigelmitchell351]

@@JacobAnnema OK JA, and of course new spark plugs if their age and mileage is unknown.

[@TheHomeExpert5]

Something's definitely not right, the bike shouldn't take that long to start. With constant use of the starter motor, it's going to wear out a lot quicker.

[@karltonrod3855]

Does not sound as even as it should. The low rev torque is always fine so you will not feel something's wrong - but consider synchronizing the carbs, you might get that tiny bit closer to perfection. In the spirit of the people who constructed this engine.

[@JacobAnnema]

Thanks for your comment. Synchronizing the carbs is planned for this year.

[@JerseySteve1]

Sweet Ride.

[@TheHomeExpert5]

Why did it take so long to start? Is there a choke that you need to utilize?

[@johnfranklin685]

Yes I had one of these. It's a Honda. They're cold-natured on Startup and require choking until the RPMs rise a bit.

Nice vid man! I just got a VFR 750F RC36-1 1993 two days ago. It was first registered in the Netherlands in 1993, brought to Estonia in 2005 and now im the third owner with 52k on the clock and never ridden it and have to wait until spring, very difficult lol :) Do you remeber what did it cost for you in 1994 as I understand you bought it new? Cheers.

[@JacobAnnema]

Hello Ertti, that’s correct, I bought it new back in ‘94. I think I paid 25.000 guldens that would be something around 11.500€. I still have that same bike.

Don't twist the throttle during start or at all for first like 20 seconds afterwards.

[@Ty-gg2sg]

About to purchase a 94. Did you have the choke on when you pulled it out from winter storage?

[@JacobAnnema]

Hi Tyler, yes i had the choke on. This happens each year after winter , but after the first start it starts immediately.

[@Ty-gg2sg]

@@JacobAnnema Thanks for the reply. What kind of gas do you use in yours?

[@Krezo200]

Is it normal that they start so bad? I just bought one and the pre vioud owner said it starts bad as well

[@JacobAnnema]

No that’s not normal. I cleaned the carburators and now it starts right away.

[@johncarlson1877]

Had a brand new 1996 marathon I miss that bike.it had to go for furniture wwwwaaaahhhhhh

[@Krezo200]

John Carlson thats rough

[@omfgwtfbbq90]

Why does it start up so difficult? Do you even use the choke? Maybe you should do a service? Something is not good because My RC46 starts right away in any kind of temperature.

[@JacobAnnema]

You are right about service, but this was actually the first start after the winter, and i was using the shoke. This RC36 is equipped with carberateurs and generally starts more difficult than with fuel injection. Anyway service is needed for this year.

[@omfgwtfbbq90]

Jacob Annema My father in law has an old CBR600 from like year 1992 or something and it has carbs as well. He now and then starts it up in winter. It starts up like with electronic fuel injection. I don't think it's because you have carbs, it's probably something else... Good luck with finding the problem! Can't wait for the season to start. Btw mine started right away from like 6 months of not touching it after winter. Any VFR should start like clockwork. Unless there is something very wrong...

[@JacobAnnema]

This model came on the market in 1994, and then bought it new. I can remember that immediately after purchase the engine sometimes did not go well. I also remember that the dealer then carried out a modification to the carbs. Since then the engine has always run smoothly, but starting after the winter was always a problem. But now and then starting up in winter is maybe a good idea. I also can't wait for the season to start.

[@omfgwtfbbq90]

Jacob Annema I guess that's what they call "character" with those first years of new models ;)

[@ricksanchez694]

its perfectly normal for a bike with cabs to take a while to start after a long stand still. Often the cabs are sort of empty and has to get filled with gaz again

[@CHUCKNORRIZSFOOT]

Would anyone be able to send me a link to this rear fearing set up I would like to remove my passenger seat on my 94

[@SatansSpatula]

That's the stock rear seat cover that they all came with from the factory. Most of them have been lost due to either blowing off on the highway or getting lost in garages.

[@alexmorgan3435]

Your bike doesn't want to start does it! It needs sorting out. Should start first time or definitely second go. You probably keep it in a garage over winter as well. No excuse. Mine starts 1st time on the button every time even first start in the spring and mine is garaged. Also totally irresponsible riding with no motorcycle protective clothing whatsoever. You are riding along residential streets you cannot predict what might happen even if it is or indeed not your fault and you come off. A car door might suddenly open or some one pull out into your path. Good luck with your body. Leathers and PPE are a necessity for a reason as they are good and might just save your life.

[@JacobAnnema]

my bike is in the garage every year from October to April. Every year after the winter, the engine has started difficult for 24 years. But the rest of the season that I use the motorcycle, he starts right away

[@ethangrossnickle7055]

Bruh it's his choice. You ain't his mother. Let the man do what he wants

[@scottcolt4283]

I never get on my bike without all of my protective gear. What other rider choose to do regarding riding gear is their choice. I do not feel it is my duty to lecture them. Though I do laugh at them.

@@dariocafagna4395 doubtless your liberal sensitivities are honourable in their own way. It is totally selfish to not wear protective clothing when riding a motorbike. Why?
