Last 50 of 56- '06 worth the wait for a new buyer? I had an '06. The VTEC transition drove me insane. It was very obvious, and I couldnt ignore it no matter how hard I tried. Otherwise, absolutely awesome bike. I think the VTEC transition is all relative. It bothers…

- Cant Get My Gas Cap Open Problem solved. Brought it to a locksmith. There was a tiny piece of metal jammed up in the bottom of the lock. Not sure where it came from but at least now its gone, and the lock functions fine. The locksmith did tell…

- Cant Get My Gas Cap Open I guess its off to the shop. Took all those bolts out, moved it around a bunch and it wont open. The key MAY not be going in all the way. It's tough to tell from memory but it doesnt feel as if its going in there all…
- Cant Get My Gas Cap Open Tried that, no go. I thought taking all those allen bolts out I could yank out the whole assembly and clean/lube it....guess not? It just feels like its the wrong key or something. Tried both keys also.
- Cant Get My Gas Cap Open First nice day in 2 weeks. Go out for a ride, notice im down to my last drop of fuel. Get to a gas station and I cant open my gas cap! Drove home, dumped a bunch of graphite lube in there....no go. I know this is a…
- Tire Mileage (3100 ?!) I got about 5000 out of my D220's. I didnt like them at all. Poor road feel, not sticky enough and surely not enough life for the riding I was doing (not too aggressive) I just put a brand Pilot Road II on the rear, and…

- Magnetic Tank Bag Bad For The Metallic Paint? Good advice about keeping the bag clean....the magnets are pretty strong and i'd hate to grind junk into the paint that way. I guess what they are talking about is the metallic flake in some paints may contain some…
- Magnetic Tank Bag Bad For The Metallic Paint? Just picked up a magnetic tank bag, and the sticker on the bag states that prolonged mounting of the bag on the tank can damage metallic paint because the magnets react to the metallic flaky stuff in the paint. I've got…

- Insurance Costs?!? Who Do I Use? Thanks for all the input. I checked out all of the above mentioned companies, and found the lowest rate through E-Surance (go figure, since thats who I have my auto policies written through) At any rate im still…
- Insurance Costs?!? Who Do I Use? I moved from NY to TN, and my VFR insurance is skyrocketing! More than double! Who do you TN guys use down here? I'm getting quotes over $1000/year. I was paying $538/year in NY. I'm sure this has been beat to death,…
- Givi 35 Cases On Your Vfr I have the V35's also. They are pretty nice. I cannot fit my full face helmet in there however. The mounting is easy and allows a little more room than the factory bags between the bike and bag, so mounting just about…

- Thinking Of Getting Out Of Motorcycling I've been doing alot of thinking lately, mainly about safety. I've seen one too many motorcycle wrecks, and its got me thinking. As much as I love riding, I have to weigh the potential risk. Can I live with the worst…
- Vfr Side Bag Option V35 I have the V35's on my white '06. They look great and the quality is typical Givi. They do stick out a little more from the side of the bike than the OEM bags do, but they still look good. I like the fact that they have…

- Givi Luggage Pics 05 Vfr Great write-up, thanks!! I have the V35 sidebags on my '06. I love em, but they have a few quirks you should be aware of. If you ride with the key in the lock (i know, im a moron) the bags WILL pop open on you if you…

- Southern Powersports Custom Vfr's I just went down to Southern Powersports (Chattanooga, TN) to pick up another bike cover, and got to talking to the marketing guy. He's a VFR buff and said that the dealership is putting aside one of the red '07's to…

- Installed My Nuvi 350 On The Bike Any downsides of using a non-zumo GPS? I have a Nuvi i'd like to hook up, but im afraid not so much of rain, but the vibrations....any experience of anyone having a nuvi or similar unit for a certain amount of time?
- Givi Plx V35 Side Bags And After Market Pipes I have the V35, and i'm installing the Laser deeptones tomorrow. I'll send pictures. The V35's dont hug the bike as closely as the factory hardbags, and from the looks of my v35's...you could probably fit any exhaust…

- Transitions Lenses? I had transitions...they suck. Not dark enough in the bright light, and I never really got the feeling they were all the way clear indoors. I always carried 2 pair with me. NOT ANYMORE!! Got LASIK eye surgery yesterday…
- Mileage On A Tank Of Gas In the summer, about 190 miles when the light starts flashing. In the winter, maybe 160-170 and the light flashes. I probably ride like a pansy compared to most of you guys though... WINTER GAS SUCKS!!!
- Gas Mileage In The Cold I notice on the bike and in the car. Fuel mileage in the cold seems to be about 10% less than in the summer. I think it has alot to do with the crap they put in the gas more than anything else. Thoughts? :joystick:
