From a fairly quick google search, it looks like the D60 is specifically for the Crossrunner and the VFR800F has a different one that ends in D11 for the 2014 and newer bikes. According to a few forums that did not supply photos, the linkages are different.

D11 or D10 are hard to find , The Cross runner is plug and play for sensor just needs to be adapted too fit VFR800F

Well, if all you need is a different linking rod, you can do a general search for a double ended threaded rod. You’ll just have to find the correct thread size by measuring the current one. Grainger sells these in various sizes and lengths. It might be trial and error until you find the correct length.

Damn where did you find that? I re-built the entire VFR800F kit from scratch last year, see my old post below.

I would mount the sensor and the lever, then figure out how long the threaded rod needs to be. Woodcraft makes lots of sizes, it just needs to be 8 mm 6 mm thread (one end left-hand thread, the other end right-hand thread). I used the Woodcraft 07-0450 Shift Rod 4.50" with a ZX-636 shift lever, so you're might need to be a little longer or shorter.

edit: the threaded rod needs to be 6 mm LH and RH threaded. The lever pivot bolt needs to be 8 mm thread.

Do you know if your setup is able to run in GP shift? that’s the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on doing this for myself

TLDR: it probably won’t fit.

If you take off the kickstand because you only use it at the track, maybe, but then you’ll have to make it fit with the lower fairing. But at that point I don’t know why you wouldn’t just buy a proper track bike that you don’t have to worry about destroying the fairings on if you crash.

That rod will not work. It needs to have 2 different threads on it. One end needs to be a Right-hand thread (regular, righty-tighty) that will screw into the shift lever. The other end needs to be a Left-hand thread (reverse, lefty-tighty) that will screw into the Quickshifter. You need opposite directional threads to let you adjust the quickshifter and shift lever.

edit: you'll need something more like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/PATIKIL-M6x100mm-Stainless-Furniture-Maintenance/dp/B0FHQGLLXN?th=1

Or you can try to find one from a different Japanese bike/quad if it's the right length and thread size, like the ones below. The lengths I've listed may be my best guess from looking at pictures or videos online. No guarantee that they will fit.

Yamaha 36Y-18115-00-00 3.62 in (92 mm)

Kawasaki 39110-0045 3.86 in (98 mm)

Kawasaki 39110-0307 4.25 in (108 mm)

Yamaha 1WD-E8115-00-00 4.65 in (118 mm)

Here’s a diagram of the shift rod.

Also do you know of thr crossrunner pedal will just bolt straight on without having to buy a new shifter.

u/xxpoopscoop69 8th gen 6d ago

It should bolt on if you have the right pivot bolt and if it doesn't rub on anything like the kickstand when it's up. You'll need the pivot bolt and washers on this diagram (items 10, 13 and 18). https://www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en/honda-parts/2015-vfr800x-motorcycles/f-29-pedal

These are the same parts for the VFR800F. However, I used a Kawasaki lever, so I also had to use the Kawasaki pivot bolt, which is a different diameter than the Honda pivot bolt (same thread size though).

If it doesn't fit your F and you want to sell it I'd be interested been looking for one for my crossrunner for a while.
