Honda VFR750 Engine sectioning

Short video of the famous VFR motor sectioned.

[@TheBeautyInAshes]

I just bought an RC36 from 91, it's actually older than me. Amazing sound and even better engineering. Thanks for showing how the engine works.

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

My pleasure

[@simonManleeeee]

The vfr750 rc36. I can honestly say its the best bike I've ever had. Makes me sad when i see "vfr breaking" on ebay.

[@rafaellastracom6411]

You deserve a medal. Thanks! Beautifully done.

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

Thank you, glad you liked it !

[@tonykartracer8032]

Oh, damn...... look at those legendary cam gears going to work! :P

[@chickenslothstudios699]

I have a vf750 magna // no cam gears (1983) but it's cool to see the rest doing it's thing. These are amazing engines. Get compliments on the exhaust note frequently.

[@chickenslothstudios699]

@Bruce Wayne might have to. Just did progressive shocks all around, redid seat, SS lines--- the whole 9 yards.

[@Lochwood92]

That is one amazing job you've done there. I have an old 750 I am restoring and great to see the clockwork in these brilliant engines. Thanks for this mate 👍

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

Thank you, yes they are an amazing engine, regards

[@joelbrittenour8197]

Cool thanks for showing us. I have a 2001 vfr800i last year of gear driven cams. Once you've owned one and have ridden it for a few years it becomes even more special.

@@alvaromateosfernandez-maqu5772 why better than 1999 year?

[@andyrawlings5369]

The finest motorcycle engine to come out of japan got 3 vfrs 2 750 models and a 800 vtec one all are a jem built to last.

[@patrickwalsh6873]

Yes, a great bike the 800 is Andy - word of advice to all though - check the oil cooler lines under the rubber sheathing. Years of moisture accumulate in there. Mine ('06) finally let go the other day, just corroded right through and let the oil go. Luckily on the way home from work.

[@timkis64]

i noticed some of the differences between the vf750f & c & s versions.the f has gear drive cams & bucket shims where the c & s have chain drive cams & adjustable followers.& probably more that arent obvious here.nice job.

[@stevebell4003]

Have Sabre 1982, Again, appreciate the effort you made illustrating the workings of the engine.

[@TheMotorcycleMuse]

Nice job. I'm doing a lot of work on my own vfr 750 and you only appreciate the bike and the engineering once you work on it.

[@Qwerty1235945]

Amazing work. Well done. The end result is stunning.

[@zappa916]

Best bike I ever owned. Shame they dont make gear driven cam engines anymore.

[@buni7340]

Fantastic job))

[@TheWalther77]

Good job!

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

Thank you

[@ArnaudPEYBERNES]

Thank you for that it was really interesting, and so clear! This engine is amazing. Maybe you know origin of a little jolt in the transmission at reacceleration. I'm trying to find the origin (clutch or crackshaft?) and fix it for years. Cranchaft doesn't engagle proprely and made a "clonk" when i release cluch lever.

[@hamahama3578]

Great video, is it possible for another video on how to adjust gears

[@matthijskoster2669]

Nice!

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

Thanks !

[@RuedigerEtzold]

Cool!

VFR 750 F engine. Similar but crucially different to the VFR 750 R.

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

Bit more than similar to be fair, same cases etc, but yes some differences, heads slightly different, gear ratios etc but only 7 BHP more.

[@johnnyrvf]

@@ANDYPEARCY1 Out of the box, depending on which market the R model was supplied to, the bike made 77 bhp @ the wheel for Switzerland and I believe Japan and 95 bhp for most other countries. Once deristricted with nothing done but open carbs/no airbox and a pipe they make around 115 bhp. Once they are prepared with kit parts, not necessarily cams, but with std carbs they make between 125 and 130 bhp. If they have flat slides up to 135 bhp @ the wheel. The heads were completely different as were rods, pistons. crank, g/box, clutch, w/pump etc. Apart from the cases, seals and some gaskets, very little was identical. Some generic parts were the same as other models, shell bearings, Gudgeon pins, pin clips, certain fastners but there are many more differences than what initially appears.

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

@@johnnyrvf Thanks for the comprehensive reply!!!, yes I accept that with the kit parts they make serious horsepower, as do all the other manufacturers racing at the time.

[@erasmouzcanga]

Excelente.

[@powerofone1645]

Great job mate. Must have taken days to do.

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

Thanks, yes it took a few !!

[@memybikeni9931]

Wow what an amazing demonstration, shame the battery got tired quickly. Two things to note, brilliant job with a hack saw, I thought that had been milled, and the red paint really showed the important features up. Secondly, it was really easy to see the interference of the valves and piston crowns. At 2:45 it was a really good demonstration of the 4 strokes with valve timing, an excellent tutorial for anyone out there wanting to learn the inner working and how an internal combustion engine works actually breathes. over time you could probably expose more of the engine and do a few more demonstrations with explanations. Great stuff mate, well done and thanks for the upload.

[@dirkrieger8783]

now..... where to order?

[@syncrosimon]

Which year is this engine. Would love one of these cut-away engines as a centrepiece in my house. Great job, thanks for sharing 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Its a 1997 VFR750FV

[@nononsenseBennett]

This is what engineers do with so much down time due to covid!

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

Exactly !

[@erasmouzcanga]

Hola tengi una moto similar solo que la mia es Honda magna 700 año 86 y de verdad que me a costado mucho cincronizarla. Me gustaría que publicará un video de como es la cincronizacion de dicho motor.

[@2000jago]

This video does not do this work of art justice. Please make a better video for us to enjoy.

[@tinkertime7165]

Those rev out at over 13,000 rpm. Ask me how I know.

[@vandembroucq]

ce n'est pas une cascade de pignons ?

[@ANDYPEARCY1]

???

[@silveur9386]

Bien sûr, au milieu, entre les pistons droit et gauche, tu peux voir les pignons vers le milieu de la video.

[@johncunningham4820]

Jesus . Getting the Gear-Drives set-up , up the MIDDLE must be a Bitch of a Job . Really .
