  1. Need Help.. sub harness install 3 Mar 2010 00:34 Keep us posted how you make out. For the record, I hear you on the dealer thing. Hopefully I don't have any issues, because it will be a cold day in hell before I let mine go there. When I called about the recall, no…
  2. Man, I like the White VFR1200. 22 Dec 2009 03:08 I would like to see anything besides the red we have been given so far. While their at it, let's dump the silver accents and wheels. Some graphite or black wheels would look much better. It needs some help to give it a…
  3. I need some advice on getting a new torque wrench 10 Nov 2009 01:30 Depends on what you are doing, and how much it's being used. I was an auto tech for many years, and tried several brands that ALL failed after a couple years of continuous use. I have had SK, Craftsman, MAC, and…
  4. not getting hot enough 7 Nov 2009 15:58 Definitely sounds stuck to me - now that I've replaced mine, it is always above 150 degrees. (keep in mind less than 150 means no V-Tec.) I wouldn't waste time replacing just the coolant, but that's my opinion. Mine was…
  5. Gap Around The Seat 4 Nov 2009 01:44 Gotta compare apples to apples. The 2nd Corbin seat pic is on the left side of the bike. The RH has a gap for the helmet hooks - this is how it should be. I'm surprised noone else has chimed in with this.... anyway,…

  11. New Vfr In Motor Cyclist 17 Sep 2009 01:19 Funny, I just got done posting about this in the 6th gen section. Oh, well... Mine does get up to 220 degrees very quickly in traffic, but doesn't cook ME. The fan comes on and gets things under control. It runs 170-180…
  12. Motorcyclist October 2009 17 Sep 2009 00:41 Anyone catch this? Pretty decent writeup, though some of it seemed like a backhanded compliment in favor of the 5th gens. I have never ridden a 5th gen so I cannot make a comparison, but I have not noticed the "lag in…

  14. Group Ride In Enfield, Nh? 12 Sep 2009 22:22 Happened to see a group of VFR's about ten this morning as I was driving home. Just as I got done rubber-necking the first group, another batch went by shortly after. Led by a third or 4th gen (sorry, didn't get a close…
  15. Pazzo Levers? 10 Sep 2009 23:03 I've got a set of the std length ones, and they are the same way. You sure the clutch lever is farther away than stock? My stock lever was ridiculously far away, and I was able to get it a 1/2" closer with the Pazzo…

  18. Engine Stumble 2 Sep 2009 23:15 Thanks guys. I have considered running some injector cleaner through it. I always run 93, and I adjusted my throttle cable when I did my tstat last summer. I'll give it a shot and see what happens...
  19. Engine Stumble 29 Aug 2009 18:04 I've had a couple instances lately where I will be loafing along at 2-3000 rpm, and I'll feel the engine cut out briefly. If I give it more gas, it will stumble for a second or two and then come out of it. This is only…
  20. Do Some Of You Guys Ride Cruisers? 29 Aug 2009 17:53 Don't have one yet, but definitely feeling the MBS. I'm all over the place on what I'd get - maybe an M109 or Victory, somedays I really want a Triumph Thruxton though. Gorgeous bike. Love the VFR, but options are nice.…

  24. She Would Not Start 3 Jul 2009 04:51 I've had a similiar issue after washing my bike. If I flip the orange kill switch a couple of times, it fires right up. Assuming the contacts get wet. Just a thought....
  25. Hayabusa Vs. Vfr 3 Jul 2009 03:02 [image: View Post]JBAXX, on Jul 2 2009, 08:59 PM, said: Yes, there is a very long and exhausting thread on this vid already. Sorry, guess I missed it....This showed up when I was listening to exhaust sound clips.
  26. I Bought My First Vfr! A Red 07 And Have A Few Questions 3 Jul 2009 02:57 My 04 surges at 3-4K. Seems to be a normal efi feature, though it is annoying. I believe it can be fixed with o2 eliminators and a power programmer. It's on my to do list for the future.... Do a search for adjusting the…

  29. How'd You Protect The Taillight? 23 Jun 2009 00:35 Haven't noticed any damage on mine yet (15K on bike, roughly 5K on fender eliminator) but does anyone notice the very end of the tailsection seems looser? Hopefully this isn't too far off topic, but I've noticed the…

  35. Vfr Climbed Mt. Washington 16 Jun 2009 01:22 So I took a scenic 300+ mile trip to Mt. Washington in N.H. today with 6 other riders. Started out decent, a little overcast and 60 degrees. Encountered a few light showers on the way over, but nothing serious. When we…
  36. Radial Clutch 13 Jun 2009 02:42 So after looking at this more carefully, it does appear the more prominent bend in the Pazzos is having a bearing on my problem. I also have helibars, and if I move the assembly fully to the right, the area I should put…
  37. Radial Clutch 9 Jun 2009 23:40 Thanks for the feedback guys. I may mess with bending my stock lever or screwing with another master as someone mentioned. If there was a bolt-on radial master I'd do it, but it looks like a custom deal and they are…

  39. Radial Clutch 7 Jun 2009 02:15 So maybe it's just me, but I cannot get used to the clutch lever reach on this bike. I've messed with the adjustments, and even dropped big money on Pazzo levers last year and it's helped very little. Has anyone tried a…
  40. Chain And Sprockets 20 May 2009 01:29 So I am rapidly aproaching 15K, and the "window" on my chainguard is getting close to the end of the line on my last adjustment. First off, is this an accurate gauge? Secondly, what do you guys run for a chain and…
  41. Blind Corners 18 May 2009 00:39 Thanks for all the responses - definitely some good advice, particularly the sport rider articles. We were riding at or below the speed limit, so I don't believe excess speed was a factor. In his defense, it was a VERY…
  42. Blind Corners 17 May 2009 14:57 So I went for a ride with some buddies Friday, and we had the chance to cruise some tight back roads in Vermont. A friend of mine has a 06 ZZR600 he just bought, and took his first spill. He came into a really sharp…
  43. Stomp Grip! 17 May 2009 14:42 So I went to their site and nothing was listed for a VFR. Where did you see this?
  44. Stomp Grip! 14 May 2009 01:33 I have no idea what you are talking about. What is it?
  45. Tire Mileage (3100 ?!) 14 May 2009 01:19 I've gotten similiar mileage from the Michelin Pilot Powers. I'm currently running the Pilot Road 2's and with 1000 miles they still look brand new! They also handle just as good as the Powers and are great in the rain.…
  46. Got My 07 Vfr Painted What You Think? 14 May 2009 00:58 Love it. Great job - one of the nicest I've seen on a VFR!

  50. How Do I Not Do The Recall? 27 Nov 2008 14:27 So after hearing all of the recall woes, I've decided against having the update done. I have checked the meldown areas, and so far everything looks ok. I would still like to beef up the problem areas as a preventative…
