[@richarddepledge960]

just re watched it again. brilliant clear video. Beautiful condition vfr as well. Cute dog. Cheers for doing this. a PICTURE PAINTS A THOUSAND WORDS.

[@calibre_au6183]

Awesome, more VFR750 service videos please !

[@paulscountry456]

One of the best looking Honda ever.

[@richarddepledge960]

good mechanic. excellent attention to detail. ive just got a 94. vfr. off late twin brother. going to re commision it. Cheers.

[@robertwilliams7222]

Very good video, very well explained, good cameras views and all the details like the size of the bolts and the torque settings. Thank you.

[@rmatt375]

Good clear video, thank you. One warning, I replaced my rear brake disc on my VFR750. About 5000 miles later the 4 rear disc mounting bolts loosened, nuts fell off and disc came loose. When reassembling I hadn't used a nut locking compound on the bolts. I was lucky the rear wheel didnt lock up at speed. The bike rescue service guy who picked me up said it wasn't the first such failure he had seen. If you haven't used locknut compound on your bolts I would strongly recommend double checking the bolt tightness as part of your service schedule. Great bike!

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

That's a great detail to add, thank you. The nuts on my application have a metal tang type self locking feature. But that's not always the case, and even if it is, that feature can still wear out and fail. Always good to check! Thanks👍

Me ha gustado mucho tu video, compañero. Todo muy bien explicado y de manera tranquila, paso a paso y realizando operaciones de manera sencilla. Es muy importante cuidar de nuestras máquinas y, el tren trasero con todos los sistemas que lleva aparejado en los monobrazos de Honda, más aún. Muchas gracias, he aprendido mucho de ti, estaba buscando esta información para mi RC36 y por fin la he encontrado. ¡Enhorabuena!

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

Translated to English: I really liked your video, mate. Everything was very well explained and in a calm manner, step by step and carrying out operations in a simple way. It is very important to take care of our machines and, even more so, the rear axle with all the systems that are included in Honda single-arms. Thank you very much, I have learned a lot from you, I was looking for this information for my RC36 and I finally found it. !! Congratulations!! Reply: Thank you very much! There are a few new VFR750 videos in the works! ¡Muchas gracias! ¡Hay algunos videos nuevos del VFR750 en proceso!

[@Moonrunner58]

Well done mate, clear, concise, accurate advice. Happy riding!👍

[@CraigClendinning]

Excellent video. I will save this for when I need to do the same on my 95 VFR. Looking forward to the front brakes equivalent.

[@calvin1mac]

Great video, I was really struggling to get the axel nut loose but the technique you show in the video worked really well. 👍🏻😉

[@andy-pk2pe]

Enjoyed, but really hould have cleaned the pistons before pushing them back into the caliper

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

Thank you!! I always do this now 😉

[@xangoboy1]

Well done, precise, accurate, very clear. Great video!!

[@GrabowskiKarlheinz]

Thanks for you video. It is helpful. But you can safe time on the disassembly of the rear fearing. You dont have to take out all bulbs. You can simply just unplug the cable connector on the left side of the fearing and leave the fearing facing cables in it.

[@petecurran3995]

Top job, chap - just got hold of a '94! 👌🏻

[@harrykramer7479]

Very good and clear video! I did this job myself. I hope you are going to make more vids of these because it will help many people! Keep it up 💪👍😁

[@marcbrasse747]

An excellent video that should also help me with my NT 650 Hawk. Thanks!

[@smkemp07]

Thank you for the detailed and easy to follow vid!

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

Thank you! I'm glad to know it is useful. 😊

[@Nate.H]

I'm about to do this to my '93. The two bikes are similar enough that this will be very useful. My eccentric hub is feeling a little gritty so I'll tackle that at the same time. Unbelievable how much can get in there! Subbed, too! When's the front brake and other vids coming?

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

Thanks! Other videos in progress. Too bad this isn't the only project I have going. lol

[@brianappleyard6685]

Hi thank you for a grate video .clean and clear . I just got first 1989 vfr jh2 rc 36 .and will be watching you . Thank one more old English guy .but believe it or not I have not had a vfr before ? 750 cbr hurricane .

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

Thanks! That's funny, I nearly got a cbr 600 hurricane before I got the vfr. This one is my first vfr too. I will work on getting more videos out soon!

[@bodystunt1]

Do you have a video on how to remove the rear fender ?

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

I remove the rear fender in this video, but it doesn't get too detailed. There are two rubber buttons in front, and there are the 2 bolts in the back under the seat

[@flexjay87]

Well done, good info. !

[@maxwellmoto8104]

Awesome job! About to do this on my VFR

[@mackbuilt]

Thank you and Good luck! I hope it goes well.

[@Kingsoupturbo]

Really nicely made video!

[@martynh4407]

Really helpful 👍

[@timdavies7581]

many thanks for making that, I need to change the rotor on mine and the Haynes manual made it look very difficult. I get it now thanks to you.

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

Thank you very much for that, I hope it goes well for you!

[@charlescorbeil-leclerc2646]

Soooo perfect thanks!!

[@fhtrucker62]

what make is the rear rack you have fitted?

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

I bought it used many years ago. It had some non-descript red cross logo on the top case that came with the rack that has long since been removed. Otherwise, no other markings. I have heavily modified the rack over time. I can actually mount a bicycle to the rack now... maybe I'll upload a video about it

[@miguelpaolino6508]

I really appreciate the effort you put into this video , but _please_ don't instruct people to put grease in the caliper pins. _Never_ put grease in caliper pins, in ANY motorcycle. BTW the RC36 service manual does not state that (I checked, just in case you were misinformed by a misprint)! Silicone grease is for the _BRACKET_ pins, or "slider" pins, which do not come into contact with brake pads, silicone grease is required on those pins due to the fact that they slide in rubber boots and petroleum based grease degrades them. Also, for your own safety, please don't only change bolts on high stress applications like that, you need to check that the bolt has the same strength grade before making the switch.

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

Thank you! I have never heard that, but it definitely checks out! My goodness. I'm glad that I've never had a problem with it yet, but I will be changing how I do it. Thanks!

[@mickeymouse4897]

OMG!!! another vid showing how not to flush a brake system ... no need whatsoever to remove a bleed nipple & allow corrosive Dot 4 to flow all over a painted caliper, why did u not do it correctly & fit a bleed pipe to nipple?

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

Hey, thanks for this. I've never worried about this too much. But, I have never liked how sloppy this method is, just not enough to fix it I guess. Next time I'll be using a bleed pipe. Cheers to always improving.

[@korruskorrowaty5858]

You made two mistakes on this job. Firstly, clean the pistons before pushing them back into the caliper, and secondly, you don't need to completely unscrew the bleed screw. You just loosen it, and that's enough to drain the brake fluid.

[@vintagemotorcyclerepair]

You're right about the pistons, they should have been cleaned. Nice catch! I'll usually take the bleeder out to make sure the passage is actually clear. Thanks!
