Did Honda put the same LBS system on the Blackbird and Interceptor?
Just curious as I know the bleeding sequence for the bird but I don't have any info on the VFR.

Thanks

You're going to need a shop manual.

Also, go to VFRdiscussion.com and see the technical how-to section for some good info.

I have found that the brake bleeding procedure for the 5th Gen VFR800 to be one of the most time consuming procedures I have ever encountered on any bike.  It is the ONE thing about my VFR I wish I could eliminate.

I agree, it's the only reason I'm thankful for having skinny arms.  It's usually a two beer, two skinned knuckle process to get to the rear.

I have to remove the rear wheel to get to the rear caliper.  Then, I have to remove the caliper from the caliper bracket and hang it on the rotor.  What a PITA!

I envy you guys who work on your own bikes. I used to like wrenching but years of doing it on aircraft drained me of any interest as well as not having a garage for the past 35 years. So I just throw money at a dealer's service dept.
