  1. cat-less header install on '02 23 Jun 2010 02:34 I did this same mod couple of years ago with my 02. I removed a bunch of stuff while I did this mod (PAIR valve, EVAP cannister, oxygen sensors, install Power Commander III usb , etc.) including the center stand. So I…
  2. 6th Gen Insurance Rates 22 Oct 2009 22:23 I pay $18/month for my 02 VFR (full coverage w/ $500 ded.) with one speeding ticket (that darn Vtec engine). I have State Farm, and I also have my Vibe, my Escape, my Silverado, my house/garage, the family life, and…
  3. The High Mileage Thread... What Do You Have On Your Vfr? 7 Sep 2009 04:00 9000 miles on my 02.
  4. Engine Temp 12 Mar 2009 20:13 I've seen 235-240 just before I start to drop coolant out my overflow tube. Changed tstat and no use engine ice. Plus, found out my fan only likes to come on occasionally when it hits 220. So I wired in a manual switch.…
  5. How Cold Is Too Cold? 18 Jan 2009 23:18 Thanks for the advice and words of encouragement guys. I went outside to check it and since the bottle of Engine Ice I have on my shelf in the garage didn't freeze, I'm guessing it didn't in the bike either. Just too…
  6. How Cold Is Too Cold? 16 Jan 2009 06:03 It was -15 yesterday and right now it has dropped down to -29 F. The wind chill tonight is -45 F. It is damn cold. I was in the garage yesterday changing the oil in my SUV, cleaning up a bit, etc., so I had my forced…

  8. Low/no Cost Farkles 19 Oct 2008 03:03 I liked the look of the bike without the chainguard while I was changing out my chain and sprockets last Spring. So I left it off and just used a piece of aluminum, bent it at right angles, drilled a few holes in it,…
  9. Is This 02 A Good Deal? 4 Oct 2008 04:41 I saw an 02 in the local dealership last week with 5600 miles, straight stock, going for $5500. It looked brand new. So I would say jump on that deal.
  10. Gearing Down A Vfr 18 Sep 2008 17:33 Hey codemonkey, I know there are probably some more riders looking for a speedohealer too. I got mine (the new V4.0 system) at Pahnit.com for $109 and free shipping. I noticed that they often do group buys, so you might…
  11. Gearing Down A Vfr 18 Sep 2008 15:42 I have 15T/45T on my 02. I love it because the acceleration is much better, gives it a feeling of more torque too. Front end will come up when shifting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I also have a speedohealer and on highway I hit…
  12. Sucks To Live Close To Work 6 Sep 2008 14:45 I live around 60 miles from my work. Takes me about 45 minutes to get there by car, but around an hour on the bike. Of course I leave earlier and arrive home later when I take the bike to work (usually Fridays cuz I can…
  13. Riot Grrrl, The Crash, The Story, The Pictures 15 May 2008 18:22 Hey Riot Grrrl, you are truly an inspiration. Your story and slideshow gave me a serious gut check. Life is a gift and you have given me a new meaning to appreciating that gift. Thank you. Thank you for sharing your…
  14. Coolant Leak 3 Mar 2008 21:11 Well, I started mine a couple of times this winter to let it run (garage temp of anywhere from 5F to 35F), but had no coolant leak. I don't think that this would cause a coolant leak. I would take the fairings off to…
  15. Leo Vince...discontinued? 29 Feb 2008 14:13 [image: View Post]Camperguy, on Feb 23 2008, 03:28 PM, said: Well Leo Vince better contact PArts Unlimited because there is no listing for the VFR in the 2008 catalog...I`m pretty glad that they are still being offered…
  16. Leo Vince...discontinued? 22 Feb 2008 15:28 Just contacted a Leo Vince representative. He replied today saying that they will be discontinuing their titanium cans for the VFR, but will continue producing the aluminum and carbon fiber. According to him, there has…
  17. Devil Exhaust 3 Feb 2008 04:48 I was thinking about getting Devil exhaust for my VFR. I've been contacting the company about their exhausts. They have the Magnum can (like the ones on the youtube clip), and they have the Racers as well. The Magnums…
  18. Evaporative Cannister Removal 29 Dec 2007 18:59 Thanks. I have a nine year old stepson that I've brought up since he was three, but this will be my first baby. Kinda nervous. I already know what you mean by freakin out on me. I have learned to be very careful what I…
  19. Evaporative Cannister Removal 28 Dec 2007 16:24 Great idea having a bike shop area. Sounds like it will give you all the room you need for your bikes and then some. As of yet, I still have to share my 2 1/2 garage with my wife. Our next house will either have a shop…
  20. Evaporative Cannister Removal 28 Dec 2007 04:36 BTW Pete - got any pics of your V-Max? The Max was my first true love. Still a little too scared to ride one though. One of these days I'm going to get me one and my life will be complete.
  21. Evaporative Cannister Removal 28 Dec 2007 04:31 No problem Pete. Glad I could help. Everyday now since the snow has started to fall, I've been in the garage either looking at her to see what new mods I can do, or looking up info. on what others have done. It was so…
  22. Evaporative Cannister Removal 27 Dec 2007 20:07 I just got done removing my EVAP can about an hour ago. I was changing my oil and the can was in the way, so it gave me a good excuse to take it off. From the research I've done on EVAP can removal, this is what I just…
  23. Evap Canister Removal 8 Nov 2007 01:45 Cool. Thanks jeremy.
  24. Evap Canister Removal 8 Nov 2007 01:16 Hey everybody. I have done the PAIR removal as shown in the maintenance how-to-guide. After I finished though, the next suggestion was for removal of the EVAP canister. Has anyone done this and could you tell me how…
  25. Slow Right U-turns? 12 Oct 2007 17:28 I've had spacial problems in tight turns before too. I thought it had to do with being a bigger guy (6'4 and 260lbs.). But I just took the MSF rider's course last weekend and was doing low speed tight u-turns (figure…
  26. Wiring Harness Recall 3 Oct 2007 14:24 Good point Rice. I guess I still have to take the bike in eventually to get fixed- so I probably shouldn't annoy them too much. I wish they could just send the parts to us to fix ourselves. Let's hope nothing goes…
  27. Wiring Harness Recall 3 Oct 2007 14:08 I called my local Honda dealership again yesterday (10-2-07), and the service manager said that they still haven't even gotten any notification of a wiring harness recall on the VFR yet, let alone any replacement parts.…
