Last 50 of 759- VFR sighted on Onion website. http://www.theonion....ready-de,29685/ Funny both because the picture doesn't match the article and for the satire*. *Satire not to be taken seriously.
- Strapping stuff down [image: View Post]tc339, on 22 May 2012 - 09:04 PM, said: awesome. thanks for the tips! I have one more question though. Where do you guys actually connect either like the straps or the cargo net. like what do you hook…
- Pirelli Angel ST with 9,557 miles I wouldn't recommend pushing them. Those tires go downhill FAST.
- ABS Pre-load adjuster on rear shock It will turn easier with your bike on the center stand.
- Any bright ideas? Scrap metal recycles them and gets you a few dollars. Enough to cover the cost of the gas to the scrap yard. :)
- Fuse E blowing (2007 ABS) Check your wiring that runs to the headlights, including the headlight bulb connector. Look for any burned spots, melted insulation, exposed metal, etc.
- T-Mac 2012 travel routes I am hoping to make it to Cincinnati on Tuesday, and heading south from there on Wednesday morning. Is there anyone at all interested in meeting up? Someone please show me the fun roads on the way down! :)
- A trying weekend to say the least I've had good luck with the Yuasa battery that is for the ST1300. It is a bit smaller, and has more cranking amps. Others have had good luck with other battery brands.
- Thinking about buying a VFR, need opinions. It sounds to me like you're looking for a lightweight, rocket powered bike, with good suspension that is also comfortable. The VFR is one of those things: comfortable. I personally don't understand the need for more…
- How old are our VFR owners? 27. I've had my VFR, and been on VFRD for 4 years.
- 2012 Tmac Room/Roommate thread [image: View Post]Baileyrock, on 12 May 2012 - 11:18 AM, said: Keep calling the Microtel ask ask them to check for cancelled rooms. BR +1. I know for a fact there is a room open.
- Added 'safety' strobes to my 5th Gen Back when the movie The Fast and The Furious came out, you could get super cheap, bright flashing lights at just about any auto parts store... I don't remember what they're called, but if you want brighter, that may be…
- Lowering the front end?! This will increase your turn-in. Meaning the bike will steer faster with less effort. However, it will also lower your ground clearance. The VFR already doesn't have much clearance on the track. As Johnmark said,…
- Dies while rolling to a stop Or, you could never, ever stop riding. Don't slow down for anything. :idea3:
- Going full stealth Am I the only one who thinks making a bike harder to see is a bad idea?

- 2012 Tmac Room/Roommate thread I currently have a single room reserved, but would be happy to switch to a double to save some money if anyone wants?
- 'Quick' fixes to drop the running temp? Quote To be honest, I'm not 100% sure how you actually check that without a dyno to simulate a load on the bike You don't. Maybe you can get some readings from the emissions, but it's best to have a dyno. Pressure…
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! CharlesW Kirdro Any suggestions? Just one. Check it again. Many things can contribute to a single fill-up giving a bad mileage result. Probably the most common is operator error, either in the math or not filling the…
- Front tire on backward oh no As it was said, the only thing that they have directions for is because the tread pattern is supposed to disperse water better in that direction. If you don't do any wet riding no point in worrying about it. If you do,…
- 'Quick' fixes to drop the running temp? [image: View Post]whiteboyslo, on 02 May 2012 - 08:12 AM, said: Any suggestions on how to determine t-stat issues from water pump issues? The pump's not a cheap unit, so I'd hate to replace it without knowing for sure…
- Thermostat question [image: View Post]Bad Boy, on 01 May 2012 - 10:29 PM, said: Sounds kind of boarder line. When mine stuck open it ran about 100 deg above ambient when on the highway. After it was replaced it would sometimes run in the…
- Rode 2-up for the first time tonight. I have a question. That makes sense about not wanting her weight farther back on the bike if you are riding as you would at a racetrack. With a passenger you should not be accellerating so fast to worry about wheelie-ing, or cornering so…
- Air temp. gauge function? Sounds like you need a new sensor. You can take your sensor out, set it in water of a certain temperature, and then record the resistance to test it.
- Would you buy another 6th Gen VFR? I tried to find something different to replace my previous VFR. I looked at just about everything, and came back with the VFR as by far the best bike for me.
- T-Mac 2012 travel routes I will be travelling from Traverse City, MI to Cincinnati on the 16th, then from Cinci to Franklin on the 17th. Would anyone like to ride together? Show me some routes?
- Looking for prize donations, Tmac 2012 I was just at a Trade show, and I didn't think to grab a bunch of SWAG, shoot! I'll just have to hit up the company store.
- Quick Shifter for Power Commander I thought the quickshifter was activated by using a pressure switch mounted inside the shift lever mechanism? Having to push a button to quickshift kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Also, correct me if I'm wrong,…
- PR2 Track pressures hot/cold? The Michelin guy I've talked to at the track has always said 30/30 cold for his tires. However, I don't think he'd approve of using PR2's. While they are very grippy for a sport-touring tired, they really aren't…
- Idiots Guide to Linked Brakes Best braking practices are the same with Honda's LBS as they would be with a standard bike. The LBS do a good enough job that you should just ignore that they are there.

- Riding Again After An Accident MikeOnBike Do you ever get the feeling that you are thread killer? It's like being the last one picked in a school yard ball game. Mike, This thread has died and been resurrected enough times that I'm not sure you've…
- Automotive thermostat replacement for VFR800??? If you find this, please post it up. Maybe even pin it?
- Riding Again After An Accident Another year later and I'm 10 times the rider that I used to be. It seems like a lifetime ago that I was so nervous and twitchy after the accident. I'm glad I had people's advice to take it slow and to work on…
- How High Have You Gone Grattan Racetrack has a fairly long straight section. Long enough I could've maxed out the bike's speed if I had wanted to. I never got above 120, however, for one simple reason. EVERY MPH ADDED AT HIGH SPEED REQUIRES A…
- Anybody try the Continental Road Attack 2's? I would not recommend the Pirelli Angels. I have had good luck with PR2's, however. I liked the original Road Attacks, until the PR2's came along and gave better grip and longer life.
- General Maintenance Questions Also, I wouldn't recommend working on it right before a trip.
- General Maintenance Questions I'd at least check your air filter. It probably needs to be changed if you've been doing a lot of dirt riding. Changing coolant can't hurt but won't really be necessary. Same for brake fluid, though your braking might…
- 6'6" and i was looking at 6th gen but will 5th gen be roomier? [image: View Post]DGI, on 03 January 2012 - 09:03 AM, said: I have an ongoing post in the 6th gen forum but i see alot more 5th gen bikes available locally and i just noticed the seat height seems to be higher... Im…
- I was hit in the neck by a bird. Glad you're okay, it could cause some serious damage if it hit an unprotected part of you. I've had a bird glance off my arm, but that's about it.
- PC Map modification? Just curious how it is done? IIRC, Cozye's map was done carefully and with deliberate testing using a seat-of-your-pants-ometer. Most dynometer shops are set up to make maximum HP on your literbike/hayabusa and may not provide a remotely smooth map…
- SPEED channel rider education Just ridiculous. The very idea that hard parts sliding will stop you faster than rubber tires never made sense to me. I suppose if you were going to slide UNDER the semi-truck, lol!
- Got a PCIII for Xmas, but do I really want the PCV? whiteboyslo Quickshift may be a mod to look at as the bike sees a lot of track days. Is the PCIII not compatible? Quickshift is PCIII USB compatible.
- Got a PCIII for Xmas, but do I really want the PCV? whiteboyslo Sounds good. Question, though. I've been contemplating playing with the gearing a bit (probably a -1 up front). Will this be something that would affect the Power Commander at all? If so, would one be better…
- I just upgraded vfrd to the latest version of invisionboard Once I've viewed a topic it disappears from the "new posts" section and I guess I have to remember which forum it was posted in to find it, am I doing it right or is there an easier way? Also, I'm used to shortening…

- 08 running hot w/Leo's ??? [image: View Post]Chaz06i, on 03 September 2011 - 11:44 AM, said: I hear the way to go, is to get the PCV and the Autotune. That way you don't have to have it tuned as it will do it for you. The 02-10's are mapped by…
