- Rear Rack suggestions for a 2014 VFR VFR 78, Thanks for the response! That looks like what I would like to have. Can you tell me the Model / Part number and the Specific Fitment of that set up? I find nothing for the VFR800F at SW- Motec. But in this…
- Rear Rack suggestions for a 2014 VFR I have a new to me 2014 VFR. I am looking for a Rack / Tail rack for it. I had a Ventura system rack for my 6th Gen(s) and liked it very much. I remember a member on here that made rack that mounted similarly but don't…

- I am thinking about pulling a trailer... Apparently there are hitches designed for the VFR ( https://www.classicind.com.au/Shop/ ). They appear to attach to the sub frame and have "descending" arms/rods on which the hitch is mounted. I think the primary issue…
- I am thinking about pulling a trailer... Africord, Super helpful, Thank!
- I am thinking about pulling a trailer... Hello All, I am curious about something that I don't ever remember being addressed on here. A pull behind trailer for the 6th Gen. I know it may seem absurd, but, I have started doing a new line of work,. I have a Kit /…
- A nice pic I saw of the 07 RWB on the track I must say that while I do have a 25th Anv. version. I probably would not have ordered this paint scheme, having said that, it has grown on me. And the track pictures do look marvelous...

- 6th GEN MASTER CYLINDERNCAP NEEDED Hello all. I'm going to make an adapter for my Motive Products pressure bleeder, to fit my 6th Gen. Does anyone have a complete Master cylinder cap(lid, plastic plate and diaphragm) brake or clutch? I'm hoping to find a…
- HELP! I Cannot collapse / retract the CENTER PISTON in the LEFT FRONT CALPER Thanks All, I have been using a Large Channel lock, but I get the idea of anchoring the caliper. I'm going to get after it today, probably time to replace my C clamp collection as well. Thanks Again!
- HELP! I Cannot collapse / retract the CENTER PISTON in the LEFT FRONT CALPER Hello All, I am completely stuck here and need some help. I inadvertently engaged the linked brakes on my 2007 ABS while the front calipers were removed. The center piston, left caliper, deployed but was prevented from…
- Rattling noise when decelerating Check your chain tension. When the chain on my former '02 was stretched beyond adjustable length it rattled on deceleration, sound seemed for all the world to be coming from the front of the bike.

- Is A Canadian Vfr Ca-Legal? From the California DMV website: What Do I Need for an Out-of-Country Vehicle? For an out-of-country vehicle, first contact the following agencies for customs, safety, and emissions compliance requirements: U.S. Customs…
- Lust Racing Lowering Kit Installed And Now...? So, I have lowered the front end by 10mm. This has lessened the perceived change in handling. Nothing comes in contact with rear of the front fender, no matter how hard or quickly I compress the front suspension. Ducc,…
- Lust Racing Lowering Kit Installed And Now...? Duck, Did you buy a replacement stand or have it altered?
- Lust Racing Lowering Kit Installed And Now...? Well, I won't be able to alter the plates, so I'll do what I can up front and see where it lands.
- Lust Racing Lowering Kit Installed And Now...? Technically I'm sure you're correct, but it doesn't feel slower. It leans in more quickly, maybe it relates to going relatively slowly. I figured the front end adjustment was the next step. The kit claims a 1.1 inch…
- Lust Racing Lowering Kit Installed And Now...? Hello All. I purchased a set of Lust Racing lowering plates from a VFRD member, hat tip "cold soda". They were a breeze to install and achieved my goal of being virtually flat footed while stationary. The kick stand…
- What Chain Lube To Use? WD-40, great for noisy hinges, cleaning and darkening black plastic things, removing stickers and goo, etc. It is AWFUL for O / X ring chains. As a penetrating oil it dilutes the grease inside the links and allows it…
- How Quickly Does Your First One Drop? Like Skids, I always fill up while sitting on the bike, bike upright, I Always TOP it up( so I have a consistent fuel load / range). Some thing has changed in the tank, baffling?, between the '02 and the '07. The '07 is…
- Laminar Lip Feed Back/replacement Mirrors? 5'9", '07 with HeliBars (Gen Mars before that). The Zero Gravity Double Bubble is perfect for me. Reasonably quiet and Very little buffeting. I used it on my '02 as well. EMGO mirrors are excellent, great quality, look…
- Finally, Here She Is... So, I took Blesk's advice and did a 200 mile mountain ride today. Oak Park, CA to Ventura, CA up the 101, 33 to Ojai, CA and then in Los Padres National Forest over the Matillija and up over and down Mount Reyes. Then…
- Finally, Here She Is... The Modulator is The Single Safety Best Upgrade I have done, bar none. It makes you SUPER Conspicuous. In CA we can split traffic and while doing this I feel Like Moses at the Red Sea. Before the Mod. maybe 10% of…

- Rwb 6Th Gen Wheel Color Match? I'm kind of curious about that myself... [image: IMG_3414.JPG]
- Well, I Just Bought Kenny Roger's Vfr... The story goes like this... Kenny bought it new in SoCal. At some point, I believe in 2011 or 12, he donated it as a door prize or fund raising "auction" prize. Political in nature. The Winner sold it to the Guy in LV.…
- Well, I Just Bought Kenny Roger's Vfr... Right, he knew when to walk away, I knew when to ride... Veefer, I have the original Bill of sale and service records. Even though I got her in Vegas, she was first sold by the same Honda dealer in SoCal where my 2002…

- Tire Mount & Balance I have run into the same problem. Of course I had the SSSA "cone" adapter in my hand at Harbor Freight on close out for $.75, but did not buy it.... Anyway, I have not experienced any bad vibes. I always have the front…
- Chain Tools In Greater La. Ca? Duc, Yes I have the sockets and torque wrench. I just put new tires on, but, as I mentioned I am not in a particular rush on the chain R&R. If you wanted to come up we could do the swap in garage and go riding that…
- Chain Tools In Greater La. Ca? Hello all, I live in Agoura Hills, just outside of LA. I am going to change out my chain and sprockets. I am hoping someone in the Greater LA area has the chain breaker and rivet tool that I can borrow. I can come to…
- Side Stand Bolt I know sometimes the Honda parts seem a total rip, however, I have found they are better quality and fit than most alternatives. My strategy has become: find it at the lowest possible price online / phone (Mason City…
- Help! 3 Yellow Wire "stator" Plug Cooking... Fixes? Excellent, thats what I hoped for. I looked at the 30 Amp. fuse and holder by the battery, all is well there.
- Help! 3 Yellow Wire "stator" Plug Cooking... Fixes? So. I did the "melty plug" replacement this weekend. All went well. I used the terminal block approach and soldered in 12 gauge wire from an inch or two from the Stator "inlet" and the same from the R/R. I soldered the…
- Help! 3 Yellow Wire "stator" Plug Cooking... Fixes? Its the factory part, as far as I know. I am hopeful that the wire upgrade will buy me some time.
- Help! 3 Yellow Wire "stator" Plug Cooking... Fixes? So, I got a new digital multi-tester. I did the 2500/5000 RPM test at the battery. I got 13.9 at both RPM ranges. Good, no? My several month old Motobatt is holding up nicely with crisp starts. So, I think I am going to…
- Help! 3 Yellow Wire "stator" Plug Cooking... Fixes? Currently, the plug seems to be the only issue at 40,000 miles. How often have you had to test yours Spud?
- Help! 3 Yellow Wire "stator" Plug Cooking... Fixes? Cool, I will look into connectors, but will probably solder direct. Duc, Thanks! That's the one... The test procedure in the manual or on here in The Great Library of VFR Wisdom? I may try and fumble through that... I…
- Help! 3 Yellow Wire "stator" Plug Cooking... Fixes? Hello all, I have seen various posts and threads on here regarding the white plastic 3 yellow wire plug melting. I have searched but can't find the comprehensive one I wanted. My story: I checked the plug several months…
- Street Tire, Dual Compound Suggestions / Experience Needed... The PR2 v. PR3 difference appears, to my layman eye, the 3 has more sipes cut/molded into it for better water evacuation. I am leaning towards the ContiMotions. I have read good reviews here and web searching. Also,…
- Street Tire, Dual Compound Suggestions / Experience Needed... I do double life the fronts, typically. So PR2 front and rear makes sense. I am not opposed to the Bridgestones, I just have not run them on this bike.
- Street Tire, Dual Compound Suggestions / Experience Needed... Right, Dual compound. I commute mostly on dry, freeways. Then onto surface streets. The Canyons are twistalicious... I do like the Michelin products.

- Staintune Slip On. Its really true Kaldek. Earplugs make all the difference.
- What's this weird noise? I have an '02. The front CCT clatters, slightly, on start up at idle. A little rev, 2,500-3,500 RPM, to get the oil flowing stops the noise. I have 34,000 miles on the bike. I first noticed the clatter at around 22,000…
- Valve adjustment 6th gen "I would have spent $2500 on 16k mile valve checks in 87k miles on my last VFR. The high cost low risk ratio for valve checks do not pencil out." That is an Excellent point.
- Valve adjustment 6th gen I have 30,000+ miles, no check, flawless performance. I have a Honda mechanic near me, long time, multiple VFR owner. Currently has 180,000+ on his 6th Gen. Has never checked them, does not intend to. The anecdotes…
