  2. Garmin 2495Lmt - Anyone Have One? 30 Dec 2012 17:10 Hi, I've had the Nuvi 765T mounted on my bikes for the past four years and have had no problems. It comes with lifetime traffic (receiver is in the power cord) Lifetime maps run $90 It has bluetooth (connected to my…
  3. Back on the VFR: 5th gen Givi side cases recommendation 22 Oct 2012 23:03 Hi, Check out my profile's gallery. I have a bunch of pics of my bike with the Givi V46 trunk and E41 sidecases. I did a solo 4 day camping trip in Colorado and they stored everything. Hope this helps. YellowFuzz
  4. Bike died Saturday (electrical) 21 Jul 2012 04:22 Hello, The bike fires right up. Voltage is good. Yesterday, I was trying to do some more troubleshooting with it. I had it idling in the garage and the yellow wire bundle from the stator going to the R/R connector were…
  5. Bike died Saturday (electrical) 20 Jul 2012 00:32 Hi all, same kind of problem. Rode for about 20 minutes and the bike completely died except for the clock. Good thing I was just approaching an intersection so I was able to pull over quickly. Bike fired right back up,…
  6. Need Help Troubleshooting 9 May 2012 23:08 Would a loose battery cable make the yellow wires get hot? I'm not an electrical kind of person. I have a multimeter and have checked the battery. That has good readings. How do I check the readings from the stator…
  7. Need Help Troubleshooting 9 May 2012 22:27 Thanks reaper. I just went out and started it and it's definitely only the yellow wires that are getting hot. The red/black/green ones are fine. Also the heat starts before the clip connecting to the R/R. Then the…
  8. Need Help Troubleshooting 9 May 2012 00:21 Thank you all for your suggestions. The wires coming out and into the R/R got pretty hot. I could put my hand on the top of the rear cylinder so the engine wasn't too hot yet, but the wires were fairly hot. Should they…
  9. Need Help Troubleshooting 8 May 2012 04:21 Okay gurus, I was on my way home this evening from work about a 20 minute ride mostly interstate. I'm about a mile from home doing about 40mph and came to a stop sign. As I accelerate, the FI and oil pressure lights…
  10. Lapping the Continent, Sort of... 12 Apr 2012 01:16 Wow, I hope the ride goes well for you. Here's a question I've always wondered about with long trips like these. Besides time off you need some $$$. If you don't mind me asking...what's your tentative budget for…
  11. New (to me) 2000 Yellow VFR 12 Feb 2012 20:25 Hello, Don't worry the yellow will grow on you. It's the rarest of the VFRs. At least that sounds cool when you say it. I've had mine for almost 4 years and have put just under 43,000 worry-free miles on it. I'm…
  12. Givi E41 too big? 11 Feb 2012 16:35 Hi, what exactly do you mean by "too big"? If you're talking about sticking out. Yeah, they stick out quite a bit. I was concerned that there'd be a lot of extra drag and affect MPG. I'm still getting 47-50mpg with the…
  13. What Do I See In The March Issue of Motorcyclist? 27 Jan 2012 17:52 So, I'm going through my new March issue and on page 54 I see a good-looking yellow bike in the background. What could it be...then I flip the page and sure enough...a beautiful yellow 2000 VFR. It's great when I see a…
  14. Signal Dynamics Heads-Up Voltage Monitor 22 Jan 2012 18:33 Dutchy, great minds think alike. Did that before I posted this. I will post their reply when I hear back from them.
  15. Signal Dynamics Heads-Up Voltage Monitor 22 Jan 2012 02:06 Hi all, I've had one installed on my bike for about a year now. Today when I went to start the bike, it flashed three red three times (as it's supposed to do in self-test mode) but then no other flashes of amber then…
  16. Oxford Heated Grips....any advice? 18 Sep 2011 17:58 The Oxfords are great! I have mine connected to my blue sea fuse box. Very straight forward and easy installation. I wear my leather gauntlet gloves during the winter and they're sufficient. The backs of my hands are…

  18. Best distance/commuting tire 12 Aug 2011 20:11 Hi Lonerider, Here's my mileage with my last set of Dunlop Roadsmarts. I put the front on 07/12/10 with 39,600 miles on the odometer. I out the rear on 10/20/10 with 44,625 miles on the odometer. I put new tires (f and…
  19. 5th gen, having problems w/ new givi side racks 28 Jun 2011 02:02 [image: IMG_1376.JPG] [image: IMG_1375.JPG] [image: IMG_1374.JPG] [image: IMG_1373.JPG] [image: IMG_1372.JPG] [image: IMG_1371.JPG] Here's some pictures of my setup. I believe I have the same trunk plate as you. Can't…
  20. 5th gen, having problems w/ new givi side racks 24 Jun 2011 14:20 Hatter, I have the three bag setup on my 00. Did you put the cross member piece back by the license plate first? I have the PL257 and FZ257. Look at one of the sport touring accessories websites to see if you have the…
  21. How Often Do You Clean / Lube Your Chain? 20 Feb 2011 18:52 I'm pretty good on the lubing and cleaning but have one link that's a little tight and I'm getting a lot of "chain chatter" that I can feel through my footpegs. If I were to cut out the little rubber bumpers just on…
  22. How Often Do You Clean / Lube Your Chain? 19 Feb 2011 23:22 Not to change the subject... And it may have already been asked...but is a belt drive conversion possible?
  23. Body position during long ride 30 Sep 2010 03:15 To add to all the good comments so far...if you're going to ride some long distances I'd recommend the Airhawk2 seat cushion. Once you get it properly adjusted, your butt will not get sore. I just did a 2000 mile 4 day…

  25. iphone as gps 21 Apr 2010 20:46 The Iphone is GPSa (GPS assisted). It has an actual Gps chip built in. You are correct that it also uses cell towers for location based services. It's just the order it uses them in. If there are cell towers present…
  26. iphone as gps 21 Apr 2010 20:37 Unfortunately, to get satellite radio on your Iphone you need cell coverage. The broadcasts are streamed to the phone. Now if the phone had a Sirius receiver built in that would be a different story, but it doesn't.

  28. iphone as gps 21 Apr 2010 17:32 I use my Iphone as a GPS most of the time. I have the IGO Myway app and it suffices most of the time. I have a RAM Mount on my Heli-Bars and have no problem accessing it. If you want to waterproof it, you buy an…
  29. Kaoka Throttle Lock 8 Apr 2010 15:51 To anyone reading this thread. The Kaoka will only fit with stock handlebars...will not fit with Heli-Bars. I found out the hard way. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/pissed.gif Looks…
  30. Kaoka Throttle Lock 24 Mar 2010 00:37 Hi all, Has anyone tried this yet? Does anyone have one AND heated grips. I have the new style Oxford Heaterz Grips and need a throttle lock. Throttlemeister doesn't recommend theirs with heated grips. I've tried the…
  31. Delkevic Muffler installed! 5 Nov 2009 15:47 Hi Benny, pipe and bike look great! Okay, I'm a little partial because I have the same awesome color VFR. What's the weight difference between the new pipe and stock? Is it significant? Also, is that the stock length…
