Last 50 of 211- 2014 Vfr 800 Review HELP ME! I'm having trouble resisting.....was supposed to take a summer off, as in no bike.... Brian
- Lost A Side Case On My V12 I think the OP was somewhat of a call-out for a loaner from someone..... :blush: I've seen greater acts of compassion on this forum already. I've already done the same for fellow riders, with the caveat, you break it,…
- What Kind Of Mpg Do You Get? average around 5.5 litres/100km.... :happy:
- Lung Chopping Time I was kinda hoping your post was a play on words... My heart goes out to you, GOOD LUCK!
- Fan Control - Choose To Turn Fan On Or Off Or Allow The Bike To Control AndyB Cogswell Yes - the fan moves air from the outside of the fairing through to the area in front of the engine. IMO the auto-shutoff at around 30 mph or so would be trick feature and big plus for such a kit. This is…
- Canadian Suppliers For Tires? Bought 5 sets of tires from Pete's...he stumbled once. FYI, Pete's is a 3 man outfit, with one guy doing tire changes. I like to support the small guy, although when he messed up I was not a happy camper :mad: ...
- So I Got The 2013... Wow!!! You are a brave man, considering the position you landed in with VFR1200 1.0................ Nice bike and all that, BUT RED is the fastest color... sorry... :goofy: Yeah, if you're going Downhill.... :tongue:
- Cleaning Techniques? I second the kerosene option. I've used it and compared to WD-40 it is more effective for chain spooge. You can buy chain cleaner (Tirox) in spray can, which is essentially kerosene. Don't know where I would buy bulk…
- 2013 Tmac Ride Routes? Right, here the track (I think) of the ride I designed and led during TMAC. [image: attachicon.gif]tmactrip.jpg [image: attachicon.gif]userdata.gpx To those who prefer .gdb version... [image: Attached File] Dutchy's…
- Soon.... Don't tease me....
- Clutch - Vibration Seems to be a VFR trademark. My '06 has had that 'chatter' for the last three years. Was told it is the clutch basket as well. So far so good, 135,000 km. Brian Edited October 24, 2012 by DDO-VFR
- Recommended Inner Bag liner for Honda OEM top box/ Honda OEM liner reviews I bought GIVI online, 75$ for the pair.
- Recommended Inner Bag liner for Honda OEM top box/ Honda OEM liner reviews Ditto on the convenience factor. I did not get liners for my side cases until four years in, what a mistake, should have done it day one Brian
- 6th Gen low beam mod, i've thinking about this... I don't think the intended meaning was that it would 'suck', but rather that the oncoming traffic might be blinded or that the improvement isn't all that good. The same can be said for the HID conversions. When I ride…
- A Sunday Ride Gone Horribly Wrong....... WOW, I can't remember the last time I did 60mph on my pedal bike...that guy was fast! :tongue:
- Clock and Trip Meters resetting on start up Lead acid batteries are remarkably reliable, while the same Cannot be said about the stators/RRs on VFRs. I had the same symptoms last summer, changed the battery and the problem 'went away'. Until this summer went it…
- The High Mileage Thread... What Do You Have On Your Vfr? OK, I'll pitch in... 2006, 76,800km, bought new in April 2006. If only I could ride all year :lurk: BI Well it's been awhile...now up to 135,000km (~85,000mi.) The damn stator finally gave up the ghost, in West Virginia…
- ATGATT????? Come on guys, stating the Obvious "freedom of choice" etc. doesn't adding much to the discussion... :sleep: Much like the late night bar room question...who is smarter Spock or a computer? Saying that Spock isn't…
- Bailyrock was right... WHERE TO BUY SUPERTECH FILTERS NOW? Just dropped in a Mobil M1-100 for $14. Pretty cheap considering a tank of gas is 30$ here. Brian
- Fuel Range FWIW when I am riding with my brother (K1200S) we are ALWAYS stopping for gas because of him. Same hp, same tank size, same problem. Brian
- OEM topcase rack install question IIRC there are TWO sets of spacers. The taller ones are used if you have NO sidebag rack, and the shorter ones (the 0.25") are used WITH the side racks. They are a bear to install, mainly because you have to hold all…
- H4 bulbs for low beams? Yes that is right bulb and no the second filament is not used.
- H4 bulbs for low beams? 9$ @ Canadian Tire, what more do you need to know... Brian
- "Water proof" jacket - worth it or not? Deciding on a new jacket. If it's heat you're worried about, DO NOT get anything with an integrated waterproofing, it has to be a removable layer. That said, I found out what 'hot' really meant when I rode around NC in July, sheesh! If the bike…
- Scenic/Relaxed Tmac group riders question? Poll [image: View Post]dabirk23, on 10 May 2012 - 05:12 AM, said: One more question. Is this an ATGATT event? My leather pants are uncomfortably warm when the temp is above 70 degrees. Please file under 'oil thread'…
- Chain cleaning, what's your regimen? Monk ...For me when I get a chain that actually measures the slack the same all round. I adjust when installed then a couple 100 or less, then a little maybe about half life(1000K). Then the next time it starts needing…

- Who is staying until Monday? [image: View Post]007, on 27 April 2012 - 10:22 PM, said: I'll be there Wednesday night. Planned on less traffic during the week that way. Who wants to lead an intermediate group on Thursday? I'll ride sweep. Sounds…
- Who is staying until Monday? No reason that I can't. If the weather is nice and I haven't had my fill I'm there (and there is a room). I've got 7 days before I have to be back at work. I'm on a 14 day walk-about. :smile: Brian

- Anyone knows about BMW K1200S My brother has one...lots of repairs and it doesn't do anything better than a VFR800. Oh yeah it breaks a lot. Another thing, it breaks a lot.
- Beautiful sunny day We're stepping back into Winter here, it's dropping below freezing tonight...grr.
- Beautiful sunny day Even YOU came out of hibernation! :happy: You haven't been as prolific as usual, or maybe I'm less observant. Same story up here, although the buds are far and few between. Still, I got in the first run up to the route…

- OEM Luggage waterproofness They hold out the water great while riding, I've done many a kilometer is heavy rain. Left side bag can let in a few dribbles when sitting on the side-stand in heavy rain.

- Tire comparison/question? Common sense would suggest that if you wear out your tires on the sides, dual compounds won't do anything for you. In fact it is plausible that a PR2 'might' wear out faster than a PP (side wear-out folks only) because…
- Really hard to put on centerstand. You've got to put your ENTIRE WEIGHT on the center stand lever. You'll want to be wearing shoes with good solid soles, cuz that lever is gonna dig into the ball of your (right) foot pretty good. Synchronize the lever…

- Getting used to Southwest Wind Another thing to look at is the steering head. If the bearings have a flat spot and/or the preload is way too high ("how tight they are" in laymen terms) it can affect you 'on center' response. Typically if these…
- thinking of buying a DCT My recommendation is a little different. It's not a question of small bike or big bike, but rather EASY bike. There is a certain logic that a small bike is easier to ride because it's lighter. However, I suggest you buy…
- Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 Baileyrock OK, I updated a few of the tire models and zeroed out the poll numbers to get a fresh start in 2011. PM me or post here about tires that you think should be added or deleted from the poll. I also deleted most…
