  1. Helibar trouble.... 23 Sep 2011 23:10 Go Monk!!!
  2. I just upgraded vfrd to the latest version of invisionboard 11 Sep 2011 17:00 It's good to keep the cheese moving.
  3. Power Commander III 9 Aug 2011 16:30 Looks just like what I have on a 2003
  4. Which online map do you use for route planning? 31 Jul 2011 22:34 There is another one I like to use, wikimapia.com. It's easy to use. Another is Bing 3-D. That is pretty cool because you can lean the view angle over and get a good idea of topography.

  6. 6th Gen brake bleed issue 27 Jul 2011 16:20 Perhaps you can leave her at home?
  7. VFR1200 10 Jul 2011 22:51 If the NOS works well, I would reach for solid rocket boosters next, that will be a fun ride to the next light.
  8. Wiring up power source for GPS/cell phone charger 5 Jul 2011 17:43 I wired in a cigarette outlet plug under the seat, so I can just run the same power cord that I use in the car. Easy to do and the GPS is not dedicated to one vehicle. Plus, if I need to charge the phone it has the same…
  9. Center Stand Leverage 15 Jun 2011 02:21 Then you could do what I did. Pizza and Beer. Gain about 30 lbs. and that should fix you right up.
  10. undertail cover 22 Feb 2011 20:32 This guy has better kitchen cabinets in his garage than I do in my house. As it should be. Nice shop man...
  11. Should I be concerned? 21 Feb 2011 23:00 It's nice to see a group of fellas so comfortable with each other to openly discuss how often they get it up, how it is a challenge for others, and how some are surprised by it when they are able to get it up, if only…
  12. Shorai Lithium Battery 18 Feb 2011 23:43 Batteries Plus. $80. It will last you 5 years or more. Simple. Yuasa is worthless.
  13. Turning left VS's turning right 21 Jan 2011 23:02 I turn right easier but I always thought it was because I dress right and all that weight was the advantage. :laughing6-hehe:
  14. How do you remove the stupid fairing clips? 19 Nov 2010 19:45 You can change your oil without removing any fairing if you get one of the filter socket type ends for a socket wrench and a 6" extention. Makes it even easier,
  15. What a crap-hole. 3 Nov 2010 19:49 http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1288583722/gallery_14359_4876_120343.jpg Say Hello to my little freind I don't know of these troubles. Mice?
  16. Valve Stem replacement 2 Nov 2010 20:12 [image: View Post]Psychobabble, on 02 November 2010 - 01:55 PM, said: I think in most cases it's a liability thing for the shops as well. Years ago I used to work for Cycle Gear and we'd require new stems with tire…
  17. Valve Stem replacement 2 Nov 2010 00:22 Every time I have tires changed, I spend $5 or so on every new valve stem. The guy says he has to replace them. Are they milking me for a few extra bucks each time or is it really a good idea to change them every time?…
  18. Brake pad replacement procedure 17 Oct 2010 17:33 Dude, it sounds like you are dissapointed it's an easy job. It's that easy.
  19. Where are the 2011's? 10 Oct 2010 18:58 Perhaps they are rushing to pull together the 8th generation.
  20. Camping rules 8 Oct 2010 23:08 Camping of the cheap can be more fun than anywhere else, especially if you are running solo and like peace and quiet. I like to start hunting for a spot early in the day so I know there will be no issues when the sun…
  21. I did something I had never done before. 8 Oct 2010 22:38 Did you ever track down the boner who hit you a while back?

  23. 4th oil change, looking sketchy? (metal chunks) 8 Oct 2010 13:58 Also, if you still have the filter you took off, cut into it and see if there is a collection of metal inside. That will give you a very good idea what is going on in there. It's not a bad practice to cut into them…
  24. Look Ma, No Hands 6 Oct 2010 00:40 All I can hear is.... "Hey Y'all, watch this"

  27. Wiped out today, so i will clean my tires after every chain lube from now on. 9 Sep 2010 02:14 Dude, did you wipe out from too much dry chain lube? You just had a post up singing the praises of the dry stuff. Now this. What's up with that?
  28. GPS mount thing stuck in steering stem 25 Aug 2010 06:47 Can you push it through to the other side?
  29. Military Backpack 24 Aug 2010 22:02 I would consider a few more bungie cords. Looks like it could work loose. Perhaps a roll or two of Duct Tape.
  30. Helibars 27 Jul 2010 00:42 Just get them. Last year I tried to get a solution by swapping the left and right bars. That gained clost to an inch up and towards me, but that was not the same as the Helibars. I grabbed the real thing and was sold…
  31. Delkevic goods 14 Jun 2010 23:42 I've seen Delkevic has a set of headers and slip ons that seem very reasonable compared to the coin some other pipes cost. What are folks saying about them?
  32. Exhaust gut 19 Apr 2010 20:51 I went in with the drill bit technique and like the change in tone. The only trouble is there is a rattle. I think there is a small piece that has settled in there. I can only hear it if I rev it while I'm off the bike…
  33. Air filter opinions 8 Apr 2010 22:02 I have been taking my filters out of the bike and Jeep and just blasting them with the air chuck. Cleans them right up. Any reason that is a bad idea? 5 hp is reasonable, I would think if that was a gain, you'd feel it
  34. Air filter opinions 8 Apr 2010 21:51 I would like to hear from folks who have swapped their factory air filters for an aftermarket like K&N. Is there any real performance advantage?
  35. Which to choose: 07 or 09? 18 Mar 2010 00:50 Easy. The 09. Black is faster.
  36. VFR1200 Upgrades 3 Mar 2010 01:23 I would turn it into a 6th gen. Black.
  37. what is the difference between radial and standard brakes? 8 Feb 2010 23:18 Who uses Brakes? :biggrin: Damn things just slow you down! :biggrin: Hey BR. Brakes are better for stopping than your feet. How are you healing up?
  38. 6th Gen (02) Maintenance 1 Feb 2010 00:37 My Fiance just bought me a Sergent seat for Xmas - I plan to keep this machine for years to come.... Dude...................If she bought you a Sargent, you need to keep her for years too......... :beer:
  39. Very nice quality battery for little money! 5 Dec 2009 15:39 I lost faith in OEM batteries long ago. The battery that came in the bike lasted less than a year. Left me stuck in the drive through at the bank. The bike shop wanted over $110 for the OEM and I got one at Batteries…
  40. My bike got hit by a car friday 24 Nov 2009 21:15 Sadly I trust my own evaluation over that of the local dealer. I lost faith in them last time I was there. Either way, 3 weeks and I'm done with the program. They should have bike parking. The guy who runs the program…
  41. My bike got hit by a car friday 22 Nov 2009 21:10 I parked my bike at school friday night and was 20 steps towards the building when I heard the crunching sound. Looking over my shoulder I saw some kid had backed into the spot where I had parked. That feeling right…
  42. Blown fuse 9 Nov 2009 00:54 Have you had the harness recall addressed?
  43. Secondary Master cylinder on front left. 5 Nov 2009 02:56 So it sounds like that is the business end of the linked braking system?
  44. Secondary Master cylinder on front left. 5 Nov 2009 01:10 Can anyone educate me on the operation/function of the secondary master cylinder on the front left brake. I looked in the manual but didn't find my answer, and asking here is too easy. Thanks
  45. More Cooling Questions 14 Oct 2009 18:07 If you wanted to change the direction of the fan/air flow, just swap the polarity of the power source to get the motor turning in the other direction.
  46. This One's 4 U 14 Oct 2009 08:25 It has been reported that the black one is faster.
  47. Confession From A Cheap #! 10 Oct 2009 21:35 Sorry friends, I guess was too quick to develop the virtual tone and was already in a sarcastic mood from work and found a vent. I'll work on both post placement and the reaction from the hip. Bruce
  48. Confession From A Cheap #! 10 Oct 2009 20:37 Soichiro, I have removed my long winded and playful endorsement of Heli-bars. Would you like me to have you preview future posts for approval?
  49. Confession From A Cheap #! 10 Oct 2009 03:47 Removed and revised. Bought some Heli-Bars and love them.. You should seriously consider some. Better?
  50. Headlight Anomoly 8 Oct 2009 19:37 Was the 2003 suffering from the same wiring harness issues as the 2004. If so, did you have the recall addressed. It involves the headlight as well as other items on that portion of the harness and this could be…
