  1. Which to choose: 07 or 09? 18 Mar 2010 16:44 Go with the Red 07. I did. Of course I did it last April.

  3. For the v-tec owners....and some. 5 Mar 2010 17:46 I live fairly close to a police station and the only time I don't use the VTEC is when I'm waving to the police man.
  4. Three Year Review 5 Mar 2010 17:28 Nice review. I only have about 7500 miles on my 07 bought new in April 09 and I am also very happy with the bike. I have the Honda hard bags and have raised the bars and lowered the pegs. The aftermarket seat is coming…
  5. Thinking about getting a 07 vfr 24 Feb 2010 17:50 I am 45 and bought my 07 VFR last April. Have put 7000 plus miles on it. Over 3000 on one trip. Had more than one 12 hour day in the saddle. It is a wonderful bike. I haven't put an aftermarket seat on it yet but did…
  6. 6th gen Handlebar-Risers 24 Feb 2010 17:34 I have been very happy with the Gen Mars. They did the trick for me along with lowering the pegs about 3/4 of an inch.
  7. What to do Next? 10 Feb 2010 17:18 That is probably why I smell coolant/antifreeze when I stop my bike. I think I will check that soon.
  8. external tire plugging 10 Feb 2010 14:13 I would like to say that I would not even try to plug that tire in the picture above that Olive posted. That is not a hole. That is a slash/gash. Also if you can't fix it with the stringy sticky wormy thingy you should…
  9. What to do Next? 8 Feb 2010 19:59 You might want to go ahead and change the oil.
  10. external tire plugging 8 Feb 2010 18:13 I have a plug in my current tire and have no problem trusting it to hold air. I wouldn't take it on a trip but I don't worry about it as long as I'm within 100 miles of home. I have had it up to about 120mph with the…
  11. Keep Going Baileyrock! 8 Sep 2009 16:13 I am only at 6000 miles so I haven't even considered a valve check yet but the oil has been changed 4 times. I can't believe some people would wait 6000 miles to change the oil.
  12. Aggravated: Whats Wrong With My Ignition? 17 Aug 2009 21:07 Mine is also a little finicky. I believe my key is just a little bent. Seems to be made out of aluminium.
  13. Holding Our Helmet 5 Aug 2009 13:31 I have never scratched my paint using the under seat hooks. The bottom of my helmet has a soft collar around it. Are you talking about while you ride?
  14. Holding Our Helmet 3 Aug 2009 19:45 After riding a bike that did not have a helmet lock for part of the 3 years I have owned it I thought the helmet lock on my 07n VFR was great. Popping the seat seems to take all of a second and adding another second to…
  15. Top Speed Per Gear? 20 Jul 2009 18:09 I'm not sure why this matters. If your looking at the speedo and flogging the bike at the same time you are paying too much attention to the speedo. When the little needle on the tach gets into the red you should…
  16. Fairing Fasteners 17 Jul 2009 16:52 Harbor freight carries the removal tool. Something like this. http://www.harborfre...temnumber=66188
  17. Fairing Fasteners 17 Jul 2009 16:36 They are not like the existing Honda fastener. It would require a thin bladed screwdriver to pull the insert out. Luckily my dad is a tool freak and has the special tool that is used to pull these out. It looks like a…
  18. Risers 17 Jul 2009 16:23 I recently installed the GenMar risers. I like the look and the install was as simple as everyone said.
  19. Fairing Fasteners 17 Jul 2009 16:17 I bought these and have used them on the bottom holes of the fairing. They fit. http://www.thefasten...361/2509102.htm
  20. Vfr Won't Make Lights Change 7 Jul 2009 15:57 I just run the light. Haven't had to pay for it yet.

  24. Pothole Shut Off My Lowbeams 30 Jun 2009 14:34 Did the lights really blow are were you just wanting to post a thread saying you were out riding with a lady friend yesterday and this was all you could come up with. Bulbs, fuses and any obvious loose wires sound like…
  25. Overheating And Fan 29 Jun 2009 19:24 Okay, that's what I thought you were talking about. If you have a keg in the garage I want to come over for the next oil change party.
  26. Low Miles, Lots Of Paint Wear 29 Jun 2009 15:14 You didn't happen to try and clean the bike with AJAX did you?
  27. Low Miles, Lots Of Paint Wear 25 Jun 2009 19:41 I only have 4300 miles on my bike and have some paint abrasion on the gas tank from not realizing I put the tank bag back down wrong after filling up with gas. Boy did that piss me off. Should I be mad at the Honda for…
  28. Can Somebody Post A How-to On Replacing The Front Brake Lever? 24 Jun 2009 13:49 [image: View Post]EmeraldVFR, on Jun 23 2009, 04:06 PM, said: but since levers are easy and inexpensive to find, I thought I'd swap mine out anyway. I'm guessing you aren't going with the Pazzo levers.
  29. Overheating And Fan 19 Jun 2009 16:23 Okay, help me out here. I have over 4000 miles on my bike and have changed the oil and filter 3 times. Are you talking about the black plastic shield that fits between the two fairing pieces?
  30. Bought Mine Today, Not The Best Ride Home Though. 12 Jun 2009 17:20 I heard it never snows in Boulder. Welcome to the Forum George. I haven't been here to long myself but it seems like a nice place to visit. :biggrin:
  31. Corbin Or Sargent Seat 11 Jun 2009 17:44 This thread has me more confused than before. I plan on a new seat as my first big change then maybe the risers and last if needed lowering the foot pegs. Just for arguments sake lets pretend you are 6 foot tall and…
  32. 07' Swb Abs 11 Jun 2009 17:40 That could be the answer but since we were talking 07s I just made the assumption that S is the new R and it stood for red. :biggrin:
  33. 07' Swb Abs 11 Jun 2009 13:38 I got the red 07 for $8499 and the last time I looked the still had the RWB for $8000 and the red for $8499 in TN. See the link below then go to the right side of the screen and click on motorcycle deals. Looks like…
  34. Next Basic Question 12 May 2009 15:17 I'm not sure I would call what came with my VFR a tool kit but I was certainly glad to get the chain adjustment tool.
  35. Pictures At Last 12 May 2009 14:52 Thanks for all the positive comments. I like the VFR more and more every time I ride it. Took her in for her service this morning. They are also replacing the wind screen under warranty. It was scratched up pretty well.…
  36. Buy 1 New Tire Or 2? 7 May 2009 14:56 I do one at a time and mix and match. You can feel the difference between tires but it is just something you get used to in about five minutes. If you ride the bike to its limits(not your limits) you might want to…
  37. Pictures At Last 7 May 2009 14:18 Have to give my dad credit for the garage. He does keep it well stocked. All the tools you would ever need plus a bike lift, a television, a couch, and a refrigerator that usually has a beer or two in it for when the…

  39. Picking Up New Vfr Wednesday 4 May 2009 13:42 I already have two throttle rockers. Liked mine so much bought an extra one for my wife. Still no pix and looks like none for a few days yet. It rained all weekend and I spent the weekend at the AMA races. I also had my…
  40. Picking Up New Vfr Wednesday 1 May 2009 17:48 Okay, I just priced the seat. I will have to wait a bit before I pick that up but am already putting a few inexpensive things on it. Carbon Fiber tank protector running up the tank to protect her from my belt buckle and…
  41. Picking Up New Vfr Wednesday 1 May 2009 16:22 I forgot to take pictures yesterday. Was having too much fun riding. Seat doesn't seem too bad but I will look into the Sargeants seat. Great bike, seems much lighter than the Sprint. Is a little down on power compared…
  42. Picking Up New Vfr Wednesday 29 Apr 2009 14:37 TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK. ARGHHHHHH!!! I'm about to go crazy. I may have to hit the boss up for leaving an hour early today.

  44. Picking Up New Vfr Wednesday 29 Apr 2009 11:09 I had already decided to buy the VFR before I found the good deal on it. I just didn't plan to buy it so soon. I was looking for a riding position similar to that of the Triumph Sprint. I have done two 14 hour days on…

  46. Picking Up New Vfr Wednesday 28 Apr 2009 22:10 I plan to have pictures posted sometime Friday.
  47. Trouble Getting Tension Right 28 Apr 2009 22:08 Adjust the chain while your buddy of similar weight sits on the bike. Isn't that where it's going to be for the most part while you are riding it.

  49. Picking Up New Vfr Wednesday 28 Apr 2009 17:02 Thanks guys. The more I read about the bike the more excited I get. Not sure if I will be able to sleep tonight and don't know how I will make it through work tomorrow. Looking forward to lots of good times to come.
  50. Picking Up New Vfr Wednesday 28 Apr 2009 13:04 The Sprint is still dead but the deals going around on 2007 VFRs at the moment are just too good to pass up. Yes it is the red one with ABS it's also new from the dealer. Should be picking it up tomorrow after work.…
