  1. 72,000 Mile Service 29 Sep 2016 21:23 Cheers for the info Skids :) I wondered whether Honda might have updated some of the electrics on the later models (particularly the wiring harness and blue connector issues) - But that's great to know, not bad at all…
  2. 72,000 Mile Service 29 Sep 2016 12:45 72k miles on your 08 hey, very nice. I'm curious to know what sort of issues you have had in that time, anything electrical?
  3. My new 08 VFR ABS 29 Sep 2016 08:33 Hey Ian very nice! I love the colour as it's different and turns heads, one person said it looks like it's been cut from the same piece of aluminium - Just gorgeous. If you ever want a play in the hill give me a shout,…
  4. My new 08 VFR ABS 25 Sep 2016 14:39 It's funny you say that Skids as I can already feel a difference from 10k to 13k miles, the bike seems much smoother and less snatchy? How is this possible? I'm still going to try a PC 3 or 5 as I've always been curious…
  5. My new 08 VFR ABS 24 Sep 2016 09:23 Cheers Skids! I have done the pair valve/flapper mod and put in some 02 eliminators but I'm still getting a snatchy throttle at low revs - I've been told by many that a PC 3 or 5 will cure this issue along with making…
  6. My new 08 VFR ABS 23 Sep 2016 23:56 Hi all, I think I'm in love, here is my 08 VFR that I bought with only 10k miles for under 4k, with dealer services 2 months ago (since then I've covered over 2000 miles) I thought I'd post up some pics of my new ride…
  7. Sad Day But I'm Lucky 13 Mar 2015 11:36 Well done for missing the car and glad you lived to tell the tale! I know ''bikes can be replaced'' but I'm sure it's very painful mentally to have your pride and joy looking to sorrowful. I wish you and your bike a…
  8. First Honda and First VFR 4 Jun 2012 23:27 That is astonishing to find a 5th gen with that low miles. If I were you I think I'd be a little reluctant to ride it as surely before too long that will be worth some serious cash... 5th gens a future classic...? No…
  9. Veefers 25 Apr 2012 23:23 very cool :D
  10. Would you buy another 6th Gen VFR? 25 Apr 2012 16:49 A great post this! As many here may know I have had my fair share of Viffers 5th and 6th gens and whenever I tried anything different I almost came running back to the VFR every time. Now that I own my Blackbird I can…
  11. My 5.5gen VFR 22 Apr 2012 13:10 very VERY nice job! She is a beauty
  12. Beautiful Ohio Ride 22 Apr 2012 13:03 Enjoyed the video thanks for posting
  13. RIP Ponrod 22 Apr 2012 13:03 I have never met him but I can clearly see by all the posts what a great guy he was, very sad, rip x
  14. My first ride on VFR- Short and 2up 12 Apr 2012 23:49 Can't go far wrong with the VFR on a two-up adventure, although speaking from experience I often found that with luggage and extra passenger (both 11 stone in old money) the VFR seriously lacked torque and you have to…
  15. Freaking awesome motorbike video 20 Feb 2012 21:01 wow amazing! It's got everything, thanks for sharing
  16. Problems 28 Nov 2011 11:03 It's an 05 650 Bandit - Good fun machine but certainly not up to the all weather - long distance pannier filled runs that I have use all my previous 7 VFR's for :) By the way, it's nearly been a month now and I'm still…
  17. Problems 21 Nov 2011 00:26 UPDATE for everyone - I rode the 150 mile round trip to collect the bike from the dealer after they gave it the all clear. The bike ran great on the way back until about half way, when the temp reached over 80+ the bike…
  18. Problems 16 Nov 2011 17:11 Yep! I completely agree with you! Plus they have had the bike now for over 2 weeks - Good points are though, as you say, the bike is under warranty and I am running about on a courtesy bike at the moment.
  19. Problems 16 Nov 2011 10:16 [image: View Post]regatvfr, on 29 October 2011 - 01:05 AM, said: I had a less dramatic but similar problem that turned out to be a bad fuel pressure regulator. Sorry I must of missed this post, thanks for sharing - I…
  20. Problems 16 Nov 2011 10:14 To be honest I'm not convinced, especially after reading this post.. http://www.vfrdiscus...%20%20regulator It may be the fuel pressure regulator and it seems to fit the kind of issues I am experiencing. I best ring the…
  21. The Rider Risk Video Series 15 Nov 2011 17:50 great videos thanks for sharing!
  22. Problems 11 Nov 2011 20:38 whoa that is a serious amount of modifications! Well as an update, after a week of the mechanic riding the bike on and off, on the very last ride this morning the bike chucked up an error code. I'm not sure what the…
  23. Problems 8 Nov 2011 09:49 I have bitten the proverbial bullet and given her back, she is their problem now - in the meantime I am running about on a Bandit 650 (05) and I'm loving it!!
  24. Problems 31 Oct 2011 22:41 Hey 2thdr, you have me worked out, yep I don't want to take it back for the 2nd time, especially as it's a 150mile round trip, but I really am running out of ideas now! One minute it's running like a dream, then…
  25. Problems 31 Oct 2011 18:15 OK perhaps narrowing the issue down a bit further, the bike seems to idle badly before doing the spluttering - maybe it's pointing towards a faulty ground/electrical problem - but then thinking about it when I switch…
  26. Problems 30 Oct 2011 16:35 ok now I have noticed... On a ride today the bike with the 02 eliminators/pair and flapper valve mod ran absolutely wonderful. About an hour or so later I jumped back on the bike to get home and it started doing the…
  27. Problems 29 Oct 2011 16:37 How do you temporary disable the side-stand switch? The two leads I thought would work near the oxygen sensors doesnt work as it makes the bike think the sidestand is permantly down.
  28. Problems 29 Oct 2011 14:32 Thanks I will check that now, how much free play is allowed for the kickstand when you move it with the bike on it's centre stand? Having ridden the bike again today I can narrow the issue down somewhat by explaining…
  29. Problems 29 Oct 2011 08:22 Funny enough he did say if you have any ideas let the mechanic know before I leave, I will mention all the things said here - I just hope thy don't think I'm going nuts as it's not a consistant problem. Thanks for the…
  30. Problems 28 Oct 2011 19:43 Thanks guys, yes I will definitely be taking the thing back - the dealer I know very well and he is very good with this kind of thing - my worry is though it may be almost impossible to find as the fault/s only occurs…
  31. Problems 28 Oct 2011 18:39 Had the bike 5 minutes and I have run into problems... With the bike completely stock, it's almost unrideable, especially if you set off gently whilst the engine is warming up in first gear it hesitates, bogs down all…
  32. HERO 2, GoPro just upped the ante 25 Oct 2011 17:06 Great! That means the HD version will get cheaper!
  33. Don't tail gate 25 Oct 2011 17:05 hahaha, I did something rather similar to someone who decided to stop and swerve right in front of me just a few weeks ago, I don't think he will be doing it again anytime soon!

  35. What's your day job? 13 Oct 2011 22:26 Thanks Timmy, it can be a very rewarding job at times - Lovin' those M16's by the way, I could do with a couple of those on my Viffer :laugh:
  36. What's your day job? 13 Oct 2011 21:23 I'm a music therapist at a school for people with Austim and various mental illnesses, using music as a means of communication
  37. Go Pro Hero 960 HD 10 Oct 2011 18:30 great video Monk, I don't know why but I like to see the gauges like in your vid. I have to admit it would make a great christmas present :tongue:

  39. 02 Eliminator plugs 9 Oct 2011 16:28 DAMN, looks like I have one of those :(
  40. 02 Eliminator plugs 9 Oct 2011 14:19 Also can I confirm that it is only the two, 4 pin connectors that should be unplugged and not the additional 2 pin one too?
  41. 02 Eliminator plugs 9 Oct 2011 14:17 Hi, Could someone confirm that this is the correct plug for an oxygen sensor eliminator for a VFR800 VTEC? To me it fits into the wrong end of the plug (the lead leading down from the bike) so I am still getting the FI…
  42. Sales Success of 7th Gen 8 Oct 2011 22:55 A 6th gen looking and feeling bike with a 1000cc V4 would be damn near perfect

  46. Honda VFR800X Crossrunner review 18 Jul 2011 14:11 I don't care if that thing had a 1 litre V4 gear-driven camshaft engine it's dog dog ugly to me!
  47. VFR no longer in demand? 26 Jun 2011 00:20 I would say they're very much in demand, particulary here in the UK - You hardly ever see VFR's (especially the coveted 5th gens) in the showrooms and if you do - they are usually snapped up pretty quick. The VFR is the…
  48. My new 1200 vs. my 800's 9 Jun 2011 13:48 thanks for the comparative test :fing02:

  50. Modify VTEC for Constant 4 Valve Operation 17 Apr 2011 18:29 Skids A m8 of mine on another site had this done over here. I'd need to ask him how it went though. I have a feeling he changed it back to stock operation. yes I seem to remember someone on the UK forum doing this -…
