All 20- My new to me 2007 BMW k1200r sport A while back I mentioned I had traded in my 2006 VFR for the BMW. It is a 2007 BMW K1200 R Sport. It had 1200 miles on it when I purchase it. It seems the previous owner never rode it due to getting scared on it. So…
- Sonic Springs installed The ride height of the bike is actually higher than before. Seems since the stock springs were so soft for the bike they were in a constant state of sag. The shorter, stiffer springs , even though they are shorter, give…
- Sonic Springs installed Changed out my 6th Generation fork springs last night. Went to a sonic 1.0 with 7.5 wt oil. Very simple task, had no issues with removing the bottom cartridge retaining bolt. I did the swap with the forks on the bike.…
- Pirelli strada tires at Cycle gear Stopped buy Cycle Gear to look around and found a great deal on some tires. They had clearance tires 30 percent off. I have squared off my rear diablo and was looking for the Angels. They are around $159 at most places.…
- 30 amp fuse block heat issue In another post I mentioned that I was able to get my bike running. No fuel pump. Replaced fuse and bike fired right up. The fuse block showed signs of heat problems and the brown wire to it show a problem as well. The…
- 6th Generation Fuel pump not working [image: View Post]Kanadian Ken, on 23 October 2010 - 10:52 AM, said: "jumped bike to restart it" My first guess would be the fuse. I believe the fuse panel is on the right front area below the instrument panel. Have a…
- 6th Generation Fuel pump not working Riding bike last night and it cut off at intersection. Symptions of dead battery. Not enough juice to turn motor over. Bike had been setting before this and battery was low. High beams, heated grips and 30 minutes of…
- Ohlins rear shocks Today i was driving to Knoxville Tn and stopped by Ohlins USA in Hendersonville NC. They have a Sweet deal for shocks my 6th Generation. $450 with Correct spring rate 19.2kg for it. This is a great deal. Not the shock…
- EBAY Hong Kong Pazzo lever lookalikes I recently purchased a set of the levers. A friend has the Pazzo and my cheapies are identical. The materials may be different though. The only issue I had was the levers were supposed to be red. They came in an odd…
- Custom rear brake line. I did my conversion last week on my 2006. Pretty much followed the instructions here. I did have a local shop mount the straight banjo and the straight female fitting on 6 ft of hose. I purchased 2 20 degree banjos. I…
- Touring windscreens I purchased a GIVI touring windscreen this past March in Daytona while visiting the GIVI tent. It is much taller than stock and gives much better coverage. It is not perfect since I am 6'4. I rode it 350 miles back home…
- Saw the new VFR in person Visited the Honda tent this weekend in Daytona.Sat the new VFR in person and was impressed. Fit and finish is the best I have seen in a bike, it surpasses any Ducati or MV Agusta. Beautiful paint and looked very high…
- Too expensive retail prices Spoke with the Honda Dealership in Sumter SC about the new VFR. The manual transmission model will retail over $15k!!!!!!!!!!!The paddle shift model will push $17500. If this is indeed true Honda has priced themselves…
- Auto Rims on my 2006 VFR I recently have developed an interest in placing a auto rim on my VFR. I saw one with a Bling Bling gold rim and like the possibilities of doing such. Maybe in a nice Black. Any leads on doing such? I have just started…
- 6th Gen Running Cold. Unknown Cause I was reading this thread and maybe you just have a bad temp sensor. Change the thermostat also.
- Vtec engagement vibration Just curious, When your vtec engages on your bike do you feel any extra vibration through you pegs, bars, or seats? My 2006 seems to have developed a vibration that I don't remember having earlier. The pegs, seat and…
- 2006 Engine Vibration Been trying to diagnose a vibration that recently started with my 2006 VFR with 9800 miles on it. When the VTEC engages i get vibration through the seat. I wasn't this way in the past. It is not chain related. If you…
- Gen 6 Seat Vibration I have an 06 that I have recently notice vibration around 8k to redline. It seems to come up through the seat at the front. I don't remember the vibration in the past unless I missed it. No vibration until then. On…
- Gutting 6th Gen Exhaust - The Easy Way. I gutted my 2006's pipes last weekend. Took me about 2 hrs to get the baffles out. I beat and beat on the baffles to get them out. It really wasn't that hard just need to right tools and be patient. I MIG welded the…
