The '''[[Honda]] VFR800F''' was a v4, [[four-stroke]] Sport/Touring [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] between 1998 and 2019. It could reach a top speed of 146 mph (235 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 55.32 ft/lbs (75.0 Nm) @ 8500 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 102.32 HP (76.3 KW) @ 10250 RPM. | |||

The sixth generation (RC46) began in 2002 and featured dual underseat exhausts and available ABS (antilock brakes) in addition to the DCBS. It was the first generation of VFR to feature chain-driven rather than gear-driven cams plus VTEC valve actuation technology. In contrast to the automotive version of VTEC, where the cam timing is changed to suit the engine RPM providing a broad spread of power, the simplified [[motorcycle]] version employs only 2 of the 4 valves per cylinder when operating at lower engine speeds. All 4 valves per cylinder are utilised above 7000 rpm. These changes were a bid by Honda to meet tightening noise and emissions standards in their home market and abroad. In 2006, Honda has lowered the VTEC activation threshold as the power delivery of the 2002-2005 VTEC models tended to dip slightly before the transition point. In the 2006 edition the VTEC engages at 6400 rpm and stops working when the rpm is back to 6100. | The sixth generation (RC46) began in 2002 and featured dual underseat exhausts and available ABS (antilock brakes) in addition to the DCBS.

The sixth generation has some weaknesses too: The rectifier unit in early models was problematic and some electrical wiring was not thick enough to handle the currents of the headlight units. The stator on early models were not powerful enough to keep the bike from dying in stop-and-go traffic; Honda had a service campaign to install more powerful stators on all effected units. The rear sub-frame on some early models was prone to cracking as well (this was fixed in a recall).

The rear sub-frame on some early models was prone to cracking as well (this was fixed in a recall). The starter-valves need to be synchronized to achieve better engine stability. Also the wiring for the front and rear oxygen sensors was also backwards on some bikes that were sold in Europe. | ||
==Engine== | |||
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] v4, four-stroke. A 72.0mm [[bore]] x 48.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 782.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). | |||
==Drive== | |||
The bike has a 6-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate. | |||
==Chassis== | |||
It came with a 120/70-zr17 front [[tire]] and a 180/55-zr17 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via double disc. combined 3-piston calliper (abs) and sintered metal pads in the front and a single disc. combined 3-piston callipers (abs) and sintered metal pads in the rear. The front suspension was a 43 mm hmas cartridge-type telescopic fork with stepless preload and ten df adjustment while the rear was equipped with a pro-link with gas-charged hmas damper, 7-step (stepless remote-controlled hydraulic) preload and stepless rebound damping adjustment. The VFR800F was fitted with a 5.68 Gallon (21.50 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 478.4 pounds (217.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 57.48 inches (1460 mm) long. | |||
