Hey Rod, I mostly like how u present your vids, entertaining ... Yes bin the pair valve system on a 5th Gen (Pre-Cat 1998-2000) yes bin the flapper system on all VFR's ... I beg to differ that removing the cold air intake (Snorkel) will give any BHP increase, it draws cool air for a reason ... cool air is more dense with more O2 present, the whole car/truck/bike industry can't be wrong, it's a pointless mod that many are duped into doing for no gain, other than the induction roar is way louder, removing it will allow the air box to draw in warmer air (engine heat) may even reduce BHP, defo no increase... Also water can get into the Air box under certain conditions ... (HONDA VFR OWNERS CLUB UK)
Instead of using a more damaging metal screwdriver, an interior/exterior trim piece remover (usually made with plastic/polymer) that leverages like a crowbar should work as well.
i removed even the flap with his plastic sheet from the airbox and now I have a big hole. it's really sounds great, I have more power between 4-5000rpm and the gas from the exhaust does not smells as unburned fuel like it was before.
It actually looks like the snorkel funnels the air into the airbox better
Pair valve delete? Check!
Hi Rod, will this mod work on a 1999 gen.5 VFR 800Fi? Thanks.
I have an 09 model. Been looking to do these 2 mods (not the pair mod based on your recommendation). The only issue i have is that since Honda designed the VFR to take an x amount of air at a given rpm, wouldn't these mods upset the engine? Or maybe cause an issue with the valves in the long run?
On the 2015 model is it the exact way of doing it?
i tried this. Problems begin on rainy days with this modification, water enters the air filter.
Same on 8th gen?
I hear Robert Downey Jr....
What about 2007 one removal??
This video could have been 7 minutes shorter.
IMO removal of the snorkel is a misguided mod. Without the snorkel hot air from around the engine and under the body work is being sucked in to the engine which robs performance, irregardless of the volume. The purpose of the snorkel is to bring in cooler fresh air from in front of the motorcycle which increases performance. Lookup "cold air intake" and have a read.
Don't do this
So remove it to make more noise? No
