The VFR 800 brake system is a little bit more complicated than others. in the front, you have three brake cylinders, but only two are activated by the handlebar brake, the middle one is activated when you use the rear brake (you always break both the front and rear breaks when using one or the other break leavers). The brake fluid lines are connected so you need to bleed more lines than what you did in the video, maybe you did of-camera but that's how it goes. I do like your videos, good quality. Greetings from a 2003 VFR 800 ABS owner in Sweden.

You are correct. I am planning to address it. Someone else left a comment letting me kmow about the additional bleeders. This is my 4th VFR in 10 yeats and I can't beleive I just found out. That's what happens when you don't check the book I guess. Thanks for the comment

When opening the front lever reservoir, put the handlebars on full lock to the left. It'll put the reservoir be completely flat, rather than tilted like you found.

Coming back to this a year later with a tip for the centre stand :) Put your right hand further back under the seat, there's rail you can grab under the fairing there, place your left foot on the centre stand footplate. Left hand on the closest handlebar. Seems odd positioning but the bike is going to rock backwards, not forwards so you're better placed to control it with left foot on the stand. Extend your leg, and ensure both sides of the centre stand are in contact with the floor. Then once you're sure its placed correctly, push down hard with your foot and lift up not backwards with your hands. You don't need to rock it up like you did in the video. You just push down and pull up like you're stretching open a rubber band. The spring and the pivot point will do all the work and it'll pop up on the stand. To get it off of the stand. You're going to have the bike move forward so this time its hands back in the same positions (don't be tempted to try to hold both handlebars) as when lifting it up but use your right foot on the stand footrest. Keep some pressure on it and lift the bike off of the stand, you only need to move it a tiny bit and it'll go over the pivot point and down onto its wheels. Sounds odd but it'll feel right. The bike isn't going to go away from you providing you have your foot applying pressure to that footplate, which is what people holding the handlebars are scared of, providing the stand doesn't leave the ground, It'll stay balanced and upright on the tilted stand then when you're happy with the balance of the bike thats now on its two wheels, release the pressure on the stand and it'll fold up.

BTW these bikes have linked brakes you did not bleed them fully there are quite a few more bleed points.

@Mike Kovacs oh wow, I will take a look. Now I have to go back and re do it! Thanks for the heads up. Just looked it up. Proportioning valves and the 2 bleeders in the rear. Thank you so much! I learned something today!
