  1. Who is active in the northeast? 6 Jul 2016 03:12 I am in RI. Haven't been on here much lately and mostly commute and short hop on the VFR. But I have always wanted to go down to the ride the members do down around the Tail of the Dragon. Cheers, and keep the rubber…
  2. Fuel Pump Not Energizing After Horn Event. Relay Not Clicking 30 Apr 2013 03:58 This may sound strange but I recently had the same dead fuel pump issue on my 99 after doing some electrical work. So I started to look at the relays that are on that circuit ( one in the rear on the right side of the…
  3. Ok Boys And Girls I Need A Little Help. 2 Apr 2013 01:40 Switchblade, Thanks alot man.. I have seen some of these but not all of them and they have given me some good ideas of what to look for!
  4. Ok Boys And Girls I Need A Little Help. 1 Apr 2013 00:41 Does that connector exist on a 5th gen?
  5. Ok Boys And Girls I Need A Little Help. 1 Apr 2013 00:28 Switchblade you rock! I cannot view the video however because it says that " it is private" when I click on it!
  6. 6th Gen - Blue Connector Ground Fix - How To. 1 Apr 2013 00:19 Is there a similar weak ground in the 5th gen? If so do any of you know where I might look for it? My fuel pump is not working!
  7. Won't Stay Running 31 Mar 2013 23:25 Any luck Jesse? I have a similar issue but my bike will not turnover at all because of no power to the fuel pump.
  8. Ok Boys And Girls I Need A Little Help. 31 Mar 2013 23:16 Hey guys I know that some of you have had some issues with your fuel pumps and I have searched the topic pretty well. But I see alot of stuff about 6th gen blue connector issues.. I have a 5th gen and have just replaced…
  9. Bailyrock was right... WHERE TO BUY SUPERTECH FILTERS NOW? 25 Apr 2012 05:31 Yeah my Wallyworld has discontinued them as well. And I think that they were a special product produced just for Walmart. One of the store employees said that they were being replaced with Fram filters. So I ended up…

  11. Motorcycle Training worthless 23 Apr 2010 00:56 My training by the MSF was very helpful...I knew how to ride, but really did not understand countersteering and agressive braking was also something that I had not done alot of. The most impressive thing about the…
  12. My New VFR1200F USA 13 Apr 2010 14:08 I am like a bunch of guys on here...with an aversion to change. I have to admit though the new bike is really grwing on me...Your pics make it look great and your comments state more of the same. I initially thought it…
  13. 6th gear 13 Apr 2010 13:59 It seems to lug a bit in 6th at anything less than 75/80 mph and since this is normal highway pace around here it is not a problem. I just roll off the throttle when I "sense" a LEO around. If I am forced to do 60 mph I…
  14. New Bike! 3 Apr 2010 03:59 So I had a chance to ride the 5th gen today for a bit....Ahhhh so this is what a set of fresh tires, brakes, chain/sprockets will do for a bike....She feels brand new...changes direction a bit quicker with the new PP's…
  15. VFR1200 with Leo Vince 13 Feb 2010 22:08 Now maybe I'm partial to my 5th gen with a Micron on it, But the Leo Vince sounds much better than the stock can on that bike, for one thing I can actually hear it....motorcycles need not be deafening but they should…
  16. external tire plugging 13 Dec 2009 21:22 Just for a reference point I am currenntly riding a wormed rear. I picked up a nail with about 5k on the rear and I am approaching 8k on the tire now. It has not given me any problems until the last 100 miles or so, It…

  23. Vfr1200 Engine Sound 7 Oct 2009 01:23 A Duc 1198s would sound like sh%^ coming out of these stupid laptop speakers. I have heard my 5th gen in a clip my friend took and it sounded weak too on these poor speakers. So I will reserve judgement, but I guarantee…
  24. It's Called The Vfr1200f 2 Oct 2009 02:37 Ok, I'll bite. I'm not saying that this is the new VFR. I am also not disputing the fact that it could be a photochop, but I am saying that the bike in that picture is ugly, fat, and of little use to me. It kind of…
  25. Bt021 Needs New Life 15 May 2009 04:07 Currently I am riding a BT 021 wiyh a gummy string plug in it. It has over 1500 miles on the repair, I took it easy on it at first but it shows no signs of leaing or degrading. Now I just ride it like I would any other…
  26. Want Chrome? 15 Apr 2009 14:30 Chrome on a sport bike is not my thing. It looks OK though. That look just represents the " show pony" culture. I'd rather see a ratty VFR dragging parts around a curve. Use it for what it was made for.
  27. My Journey Into Custom Paint. 24 Mar 2009 03:17 That bike is going to look awesome. I love the one of a kind look, and it looks like the guy is doing it right. Good Luck! What is the name of your shop? and where is it? I am an avid cyclist (road&mtn). Maybe I could…
  28. Vfr Bike Report 12 Mar 2009 03:06 Nice bike Monk, This sounds like the start of a beautiful relationship.
  29. Need A New Rear Skin! 22 Feb 2009 21:28 I need a new rear tire. Up front I am running a Battlax so I could stay with the stones, but I would change it up if the right deal came along. Dennis Kirk has a BT020 for $123, So far that is the most reasonable price.…

  31. Got Really Dirty Today 12 Feb 2009 04:25 It was 57 here in RI. All the plastic is off the bike and that is the only reason it did not come out today. I also just painted the headers, polished the wheels and detailed the underbelly and swing arm so I was…
  32. Well I Did It! Joined The Club Got The Tee Shirt! 12 Feb 2009 04:13 Hey welcome, I have been back on a bike (check the handle) for a couple of years now after about a 13 yr layoff. Nice choice of bike and this is the best site on the internet so you are 2 for 2. Take it easy until you…

  35. 6th Gen Battery Prices 14 Dec 2008 02:11 I won't buy anything without checking with the guys here. I have learned so much on this board that I actually feel like I can actually do just about any task on the bike with the support provided here. As for $200…
  36. Oh Man Now What 9 Dec 2008 16:17 I am a little confused first of all 21c is 70f so I don't think there would be any ice at those temps. I agree that you are probably reading a farenheit reading. My confusion however stems from the fact that you…
  37. Toight Viffer 4 Dec 2008 05:14 That is a great pic. You look like your in the zone.

  39. How About This? 22 Nov 2008 17:11 So I'm picking my daughter up from a bday party last night at her friends house and walking in I walk past a brand spankin new Challenger R/T. It is a great looking car. So this gets me to thinking wouldn't it be cool…
  40. Custom 6th Gen. Exhaust 21 Nov 2008 12:45 Riv, your mod looks good, but I like the angled one alot. I will not be attempting anything like this as I lack the skill. I'm amazed by you welding guys.
  41. Honda V4 Statements From Milan 17 Nov 2008 20:41 Well I hope they get this going as it is 2009 now, so this only gives the first owner of my new to me 2011 VFR a year to break it in, fix the electrical gremlins and write a review to tell me if it is any good. I'll be…
  42. ’84 Honda Vf750f Interceptor : A Rebuild 10 Nov 2008 02:54 So here I am with limited mechanical ability looking at a beautiful older Interceptor. This gets me thinking about my '83 and how much I miss it. I came here to look at Seb's restore and some of the others. Next thing I…

  44. Ebay Fairing Kits 7 Nov 2008 18:42 Anyone know if a kit like this is available for a 5th gen?
  45. Another Good Reason To Not Ride With Music 3 Nov 2008 18:49 I won't do it for two reasons: 1. My helmet is too damn loud with wind noise so I have to crank anything to here it. 2. The faster the beat the faster I ride.

  48. Time To Look At Putting The Bike Away? 20 Oct 2008 14:53 Wow, that is a big difference in temp considering I'm not that far from you here in RI. It was 36 here this morning and I took the long way in, because like you I do not know how many good riding days are left. I have…
