Last 50 of 84- I am going to shut down vfrd soon All of your hard work and years of dedication are appreciated. This has always been the best motorcycle community on the internet. I met so many great people and have so many great memories that I never would have had…
- Official 2012 Tmac picture & event thread. I'm sitting in the hotel lounge here in Bucharest smoking a cigar and missing y'all and all the VFRD goodness that is TMAC. I wish I was in Franklin smoking my cigar with y'all. I can't believe I got the bike all…
- Dies while rolling to a stop R/R is short for Regulator/Rectifier. To adjust the idle you turn a small black plastic knob that is located near the top of the right side engine cover that just barely sticks out from behind the right side fairing. If…
- Tmac Route suggestions Another option would be to run up the BRP to Mt. Mitchell. 1. NC28 North 2. US19 North 3. US441 North 4. Blue Ridge Parkway North 115 miles to Mt Mitchell State Park at BRP mile marker 355. 5. Reverse route to come…
- Tmac Route suggestions Here's a route different than I've ever done at TMAC. 1. NC28 to Deals Gap 2. US129/TOTD 3. North on the Foothills Pkwy 4. Right on TN73/Lamar Alexander 5. Left on Little River Rd/Old TN73 6. South US441 over the…
- Scenic/Relaxed Tmac group riders question? Poll Sorry I'm not making it this year, BR. I swept for Keith's group last year. After a few TMac's and several other trips to the area I feel comfortable knowing my way around. Next year I'll offer to lead or sweep a scenic…
- The Franklin Motel, say bye! Damn. So many awesome memories at that place. One thing I thought that was great about it was how many chairs they had outside the rooms. Most hotels would only have a handful at best. They had dozens. Since we're all…
- Official texasmac 2012 event thread may 17th 20th Well guys I'm not going to be able to make it this year. I will be in Romania and Spain for work. I really hate that I won't be able to meet the infamous Dutchy. Y'all have fun without me. I'll be there in spirit since…
- Brake Bleeding Problems - Soft Front Lever I'm getting good bleeds at all the bleed valves. Several manual pumps by hand and absolutely no air bubbles and the front lever and ABS MC is still soft. I've bled brakes before on other vehicles and never had this…
- Brake Bleeding Problems - Soft Front Lever Hey everyone. I have a 2003 VFR with ABS. I recently replaced all my brake lines with the full 13 line Galfer SS brake line kit. I have the Harbor Freight pneumatically powered vacuum pump. I have followed the…
- New member Looking into lighter bike. Welcome. I guess it depends on what you call "light". Tipping the scales at well over 500lbs I would hardly call my VFR800 light. A light but still fun to ride bike would be something more like a Kawi Ninja 650R. Much…
- 2003 6th Gen Battery Drain Yes I did the harness recall about two years ago. I have not yet checked the harnesses on this circuit to see if there is a problem there and perhaps not in the display unit. Does anyone know if you can ride without the…
- 2003 6th Gen Battery Drain Ok so I started pulling apart connectors and then checking for the draw on the battery. The power draw was still there with the stator connector and and the R/R connectors apart. Fortunately this foes not appear to be a…
- 2003 6th Gen Battery Drain Try disconnecting the stator and see if the drain goes away. Good idea. I can't believe I didn't think to do the power draw test with the stator connectors apart.
- 2003 6th Gen Battery Drain Ok. Here is what I did tonight. I checked for draw on the battery. There is an 18mA draw on the battery with the ignition off. I have no idea if that is a lot but the limit allowed for the service manual is 2.5mA. Is…
- 2003 6th Gen Battery Drain I have had the bike in pieces in my buddy's workshop for the last 4 weeks. I've been doing suspension, exhaust, electrical, brake, and safety upgrades. I rode it over 600 miles in the week prior to beginning this…

- Doing Lots Of Mods Over The Next 3-4 Weeks Ok, I have torn down the suspension on my bike and already shipped off the forks and rear shock parts to Jamie Daugherty for a custom rebuild. Since I've got the bike apart I'm doing lots of mods. See below: Mods…
- Laser Extreme Exhaust Well I have decided to go for it. I sent them technical questions and they got back to me in less than day with the answers. They also say they have 3 systems in stock. They are taking next week off as a company for…
- Laser Extreme Exhaust Check with Speigler USA, located in Dayton, Ohio. I purchased two Xtremes from them and I believe they still carry them. Just got an email back from Spiegler. They stopped selling Laser Exhausts 2 years ago and don't…

- Laser Extreme Exhaust I've always liked the Laser Extreme exhausts. I think the four pipes look and sound sweet. The one concern I have is where to get them. Laser's company website lists FosterRAD as the only USA dealer. I've read some…

- 311 MPH On A Conventional Motorcycle! Motorcycle Rider Breaks 300 Mph This is pretty interesting. A new landspeed record. This is more than twice the speed I have ever attained. I wonder what going that fast on a motorcycle feels like?

- Honda CBR250R I haven't seen any of the new CBR250R's anywhere in the states yet. I just saw my first one on display at a mall here in Malang, Indonesia. The standard version advertised price is 42,770,000 IRp (about $5,200 USD) and…

- Pilot Power vs PR2 - not sure it's worth it anymore *updated 10/11/2011* Westn Phew.... I didnt know that was ok. Started looking into tyres the other day then realised my 08 has under 4k (kms) on the clock and original tyres with PLENTY of tread left Clearly I do too much researching and…

- What I learned during TMAC 1. Next year show up in better riding shape (ie. Don't have knee surgery one month before TMac) 2. Side stand bolts require locktight. 3. The cable bracket goes outside of the cluth cover and not under the gasket. 4.…
- 1st time tmac attendees please read I also want to throw out a warning to the new people. When you get on these super twisty roads you will get into a groove which gets comfortable and can get your speed up higher than when you started the day. The only…
- Modify VTEC for Constant 4 Valve Operation I believe that the vtec does give a 6th gen more low end grunt. Two valves per cylinder usually gives you more low rpm torque but chokes the engine at high rpm. Its really late where I am but I recall it has something…
- If you were to do luggage on a budget... The other nice thing about the north face base camp duffel is that it comes with shoulder straps so I can carry it like a backpack and carry one of the v35 side cases in each hand.
- If you were to do luggage on a budget... I'd get some soft side bags from new enough's clearance section then look for a bag to go on top of the rear seat. I have givi v35 hard bags but when I really need to take alot of stuff I throw a north face base camp…

- Check out this move... As an aircraft structural engineer, I do not approve of his methods. I wager that frame snaps in half the first time he hits a pot hole or large bump in the road. That guy is a ruhtard!
- Motorcycle Training worthless The BRC was valuable to me for the low speed practice when I first started riding. SInce then I "train" any time I ride with people that are more skilled and experienced than me. The first TMAC I went to I intentionally…
- Official TEXASMAC 2011 Event Thread, May 19th-22nd Alright I'm in! I just signed up and reserved a double bed room from Wednesday though Sunday! I'm trying to talk a friend of mine into coming with me. If I don't succeed then I'll be looking for a roommate.

- Shots from a Tankbag camera When I'm not lugging around about $5,000 in Nikon DLSR, lenses, and gear I'm carrying a Canon S95. Best point and shoot out there bar none in my opinion, though it's a not as long a zoom as you want and it's a little…
- Stuck 6th Gen Oil Filter mello dude I bought one of those claw thingys and the durn thing is too big for to grab the VFR filter. There must be different sizes. There a couple of size ranges and you need the right one. I forget which one the VFR…
- Stuck 6th Gen Oil Filter BusyLittleShop dendron Thoughts anyone? I hope you started the engine and allow temp to rise until the fan came on... heat is your friend because it will expand every part and release tension... He's already ripped a…

- Should I be concerned? Dyno results show theat at wide open throttle in 1st gear the 6th gen has a 20 hp jump at the rear tire over about a 200 RPM increase when the VTEC kicks in. That's a pretty big jolt of power over a very short period of…
