- VFR 800 Factory Saddle Bags Bought my OEM bags from a VFR friend who had never used them nor had a use for them, $400. Was willing to pay & offerred him $600, but he wanted $400. So I bought him lunch instead~
- Anybody else like the linked brakes? Poll added. I don't even think about the fact that the brakes are linked when Im applying them...They work for me.
- Eek, a mouse... Had this problem myself... Go to your local HD or hardware store and buy a gutter guard - it's the expanded metal wire type (aluminum) that you would insert into the downpipe openings of your gutters. Unroll it, cut…
- What coolant do you use? Have used the following: 1. VFR - flushed out orig coolant after purchase and refreshed with the Supertech stuff - no issues with 9k miles 2. Used also on bikes other than VFR - a) Pentosin (Audi VW stuff…
- What did you own before your 6th Gen? pres589 TurdEngineer99 05 Kawi Z1000 How did you like the Z1000? Liked it very much, would have kept it alongside the VFR, but it's poor ol' me and not enough time to adore both.
- What did you own before your 6th Gen? 05 Kawi Z1000
- 2002 VFR Major Stalling Problems just curious if you had a look at the pistons when the heads were off?
- Honda Cross-Tourer At this point in time, having done research and seen in person the BMW R1200GS (but not ridden) and read plenty on the Yamaha XT1200 ST, I'd go with the Yamaha. BMW has too many drive shaft issues which surprises me…
- 2002 VFR Major Stalling Problems Hi All, I currently own 2 VFR800's one is a fairly new 2009 Black Beauty, the other is a 2002 VFR 800 that I bought new in 2002. The 2002 is well used and may be at the end of it's life, I'm just too stubborn to admit…
- Ninja 1000 vs. VFR??? I had both Z1k & ZRX nakeds and the ergos are pretty much the same as the new Ninja1000 and excellent. I think you can get the new 1000 with ABS and the hard bags out the door much cheaper than the 1200. Too bad Kawi…
- Bike cut off on it's own Check & adjust your throttle cable slack. The owners manual describes the process Some guys 'ditch' the flapper mechanism buy simply pulling and plugging the vacuum line to it. The key is that it needs to be plugged
- Love/hate relationship with my VFR Maintaining a motorcycle is a discipline. You eventually get used to it, but you also try to make that 5 minute job a 5 minute job. I've installed Dzus clips for the fairings enabling quicker removal, although the…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System Well, 10 years old battery (orig.) bit the dust so set off in search of a new. The Yuasa is $180 at cyclegear, and i dont even want to know what a stealer charges. My search for a 12S leaves me empty handed, only to…

- Bike-specific exercises? yoga
- VFR1200 engine tear-down Nice video... We would eed specifics, ie fuel rating, oil change freq., tune up freq (air filter, spark plug condition, etc)...before making assumptions or accusations about build quality & qualiity control.
- HOW TO ..busted stud removal On engines, it's a must to have as good a ground as close as possible to the piece being welded! Otherwise, the current from the welder will arc across the main bearing sufaces if the ground is not adjacent. As for…
- CrossViffer? I have been reading and watching videos on the Multistrada, KTM 990, Super Tenere, GS, etc. At first glance, seems like Honda wants to go after the Multistrada. Although I haven't been able to find any specs for the…
- Honda Cross-Tourer Couldn't weigh more or outprice the Super Tenere??
- easiest weight reduction mods? Sandblast every sq in of paint off the bike. You might lose some weight that way too. and if you have skills, fabricate a rear subframe out of aluminum sq. stock and size it to carry the seat you like, the rear lights,…
- As it turns out, yella just ain't my thang +1 for the Lamborghini Orange Or, if you're daring, white with green underside, ala Castrol Honda SBK. [/quote] ...and blue & red lights built into the mirrors? :biggrin: [/quote] no red light for the left mirror, green…
- Tell Us Your Favorite Modifications. I need to measure up for dzus clips without the d-rings for the left and right fairing mount points. This is b/c the holes are recessed and the d-ring will not fit in the recess, nor is the fastening portion of the clip…
- Tell Us Your Favorite Modifications. My bike came with Staintunes & stock cans. Sold the Staintunes for $700, bought $15 in cutting discs and did the semi-gut on the stock cans. The end result being similar tone & decibel level. Also bike came with mirror…
- Ceramic coatings for heat management Heat from the combustion events is released through the exhaust gas, but not all of it, b/c the cylinder liners absorb heat and coolant is used to remove some of this, but not all of it! The oil absorbs heat that is…
- Radiator Fan We all know about side mounted radiators not being very efficient with exchanging heat. The left side rad. has a fan and the right side doesnt. As I am parting out my old Ducati, I have another radiator fan on hand and…

- Vtec Shock Options Have been researching on shock replacement and found that the 954 could be swapped in. Was wondering if Mr Daugherty was still involved in this?
- Engine Stumble I have on my 02. Normally, I run 87 in the tank. This time, I ran 93 with SeaFoam fuel system cleaner, 1 bottle to 2 tanks of fuel and it did the trick. Before I did anything, I checked my air filter and my throttle…
