Last 50 of 250- it's been 1015 days since I last rode my VFR HispanicSlammer, 8/12/2025 at 7:40 AM Sounds like a VFR confession, shoot most of old timers don't even own vfrs anymore. I guess I qualify as an oldtimer, turning 65 in a few weeks. Still have my 95 but it's sitting…
- New addition to the garage Thanks Crockett.
- New addition to the garage Actually this is the 1198 V-twin (or L-twin as some call it) engine, but still super fun for riding here.
- New addition to the garage Thanks, and colour coordinated too.
- New addition to the garage While my VFR is sitting waiting for repairs (https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/113334-burnt-stator-connector/), I bought a new-to-me 2014 Ducati Multistrada S Touring. It was in the works before the…
- Age check in 61, but I know there's older on here! Started riding at 27. Bikes in order are Kawasaki EX500, CBR600 and VFR750 4th gen. I owned a Suzuki DR350SE a couple of times (the same one) but currently without. We moved out of…
- Do you change tires at home? 1 hour ago, YYZ For me it's not about saving money. I just want to know it was done right . I had a really bad experience at a dealership years ago and I just have a hard time turning my bike over to someone that's in a…
- Any VFR 8th gen with different color wheels out there fatshoutybloke, 1/29/2019 at 2:38 AM Seen a couple of pics of other guys bikes on the web... [image: 2014 VFR800F white-red wheels_1.jpg] 😍
- Cam reinstall - timing help needed Drawing on 4th gen experience here, but pay attention to when they say timing arrows or timing marks. There are 2 distinct types of marks and are used for different alignments.
- Chain Mileage According to the Motul chain paste technical sheet, it is water resistant. But the line I like best is "Specially recommended for very fast bikes."
- 94 VFR replacing leaking fork seals, what oil for stock springs/light rider? Here you go, but it's better to fill to a level rather than an amount. [image: IMG_1464.PNG]
- 94 VFR replacing leaking fork seals, what oil for stock springs/light rider? 10 minutes ago, NateV8 Now I have to go research proper air gap, I hope 100mm was correct for stock springs! 177mm is what the service manual says
- 94 VFR replacing leaking fork seals, what oil for stock springs/light rider? VFR service manual recommends Pro Honda Suspension fluid SS-7. I used Belway 5wt. Works fine for me with Race Tech 0.90 springs, and forks raised 10mm (?). But I'm too ashamed to tell you how long ago it was changed.
- K&N Oil Filter Failure 2 hours ago, DriverDave 16K KM and 3 years?!!!!! That's way too long between oil changes...according to the vast majority of experts and owners manuals. So I've been told. I didn't do it on purpose, just forgot, but I…
- K&N Oil Filter Failure I just did an oil service and replaced a K&N with a Honda OEM one. I have to admit that I had forgotten I had one but fortunately it hung in there for 16K km and 3 years. The nut sure made it easy to remove though. :-)
- RIP Bruce Wilson (aka Bruce in Tucson) I never met Bruce but remember his contributions to the big list and still follow his maintenance guides today. Condolences to the family.
- purchased a 1992 Honda VFR Nice and congrats on a great buy! Is it silver or just the lighting? I have Givi bags on a Wingrack. That would be my recommendation. The hard cases are waterproof and lockable. The problem will be finding the fitment…
- Cam Service - was it done? If the previous owner doesn't recall checking them then likely it wasn't done. Some people don't bother checking at the suggested intervals at all and have racked up a lot of miles. I checked mine every 25K km until…
- Opinion Request: 2nd bike to compliment the viffer The VFR does it all well enough to be an only bike. So if I were looking for another bike to complement it, it would be something that couldn't be an only bike. So in ascending order of budget: KTM RC390 Triumph Street…
- How do you change your avatar photo? Well I stumbled my way to the solution. You have to add the photo your gallery and then select the photo as your profile picture.
- How do you change your avatar photo? I can't figure it out. On the my profile page I see my avatar and the button "Profile Photo" but the options are Use Gravatar or No photo. How do I upload a new photo to use for my avatar?
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins WellI hope you figure it out. I hate electrical problems. It didn't make sense to me it would be the battery but hey, at least it was an easy fix.
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins auggius, 2017-06-01 at 11:51 PM It worked fine last year with both leads connected. The problem started this year after awakening from winter hibernation. It only works without the leads connected now. Update - new…
- Stranded - Electrical help needed 18 hours ago, Graves Is there a test other than the diode check for the R/R? I'll re-test the stator with the engine running and see if the voltage increases with engine revs. Thanks for the link I was looking for that.…
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins It worked fine last year with both leads connected. The problem started this year after awakening from winter hibernation. It only works without the leads connected now.
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins I posted this same issue a few days ago. Bike has power and starts up fine until I hooked up the leads to the battery for my heated gear. With nothing plugged in I lost all power when I turned the ignition on.…
- Reg/Rec caught on fire... Yikes! That there is the definition of a rectumfrier. Glad you weren't on it.
- Vfr 750 - 92 Jock3, 2017-03-31 at 10:36 PM Whent through some old photos (in case of rain and snow outside, always reminisce to the days one could ride) in the cell phone and found these. [image:…
- Nicky Hayden in serious accident in Italy RIP Kentucky Kid. I haven't followed racing for a while but always checked to see how Nicky was doing. Saddened to hear about his accident and now his passing. My condolences to his family and friends.
- Removing front wheel without stand? But I would remove the wheel spacers so they don't get lost. And make a note which goes where if they are unequal sizes.
- Removing front wheel without stand? You don't need the helper. You can do it yourself. You just need a scissor jack and a 6" length of 2x4. Loosen but do not remove bolts for rear wheel and front wheel removal but do not remove them. Put bike on…
- JR Alter Ego 13.0 1 hour ago, superfunkomatic It's got male supermodel written all over it! :goofy: Seriously though, nice kit! Looks more like Magnum.
- Obligatory New Member post Hi and welcome to the forum. I had a Kawasaki EX500 (same bike before it was rebranded as a Ninja) before my 95 VFR. In between I had a 89 CBR600 which is now my wife's bike. 2. With the centrestand and a small jack…
- rear view mirrors Yep, the lip of the rubber "condom" fits over the base. The trick is to adjust the stalk so ithere's no tension on the rubber piece. That's the way I've done mine and it stays put no problem.
- Best way to learn how to work on bikes YouTube - MikeE RideWNC has some excellent how/to videos for 4th gen VFRs. And I believe he is a member here too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- are these pipes good? Don't know anything about the pipe but it's made by Indigo Sports - http://www.indigosports.com/ Probably lighter than stock but heavier than a single pipe setup. I thought it was a TwoBros at first as I recall they…
- 5th Gen Solo Racks - CLEAR OUT I'd love one for my 4th gen, but I guess that will never happen. Anybody with Solo Rack also have a 4th gen to see if an adapter could be easily fabricated?
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread superfunkomatic, 2016-08-16 at 11:21 AM You never know when you could get a rear flat that you can't repair on the road. Talk about being prepared and proactive. Good idea DH! I picked up a spare too for my journey back…
- Fifth/sixth gen vfr rear wheel fit on a 4th gen vfr Not necessarily a purist but I just figured a Honda part would be cheaper than a BMW part, plus I have a local Honda dealer. But I thought it was also a simple swap of parts without requiring machining. Thanks for more…
- Fifth/sixth gen vfr rear wheel fit on a 4th gen vfr 2016 at 7:37 AM, JZH, July 11 Alternatively, if you don't like cutting up wheels, you can do what I did to my 3rd gen: Titanium (optional) BMW S1000RR disc bolts inserted from the opposite side as the OEM bolts.…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr do what? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr 13 minutes ago, Rogue_Biker Auggius, I did pretty much everything on that website link on mine. I believe most of the internals are new: springs, valves, the complete fork kit, seals, etc. I sent my rear shock and front…
- Upgraded My Suspension to DMr Is this with the stock internals in your forks or a new fork cartridge kit?
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread Just a heads up that there is road construction from the Slocan Valley (Hwy 6) junction for 15 km to Nelson. Half the road is grooved and it's alternating single lane with 20 minute closures. So my plan is to meet you…
- Solo Rack And Oem Top Case Install? 2016 at 7:24 AM, KanadianKen, May 1 I do have solo racks. Lots of them. $140 USD includes shipping. Send paypal to ken.irwin@bell.net and I'll send one out. Include style required (5 or 6gen)and your address. I will…
- Feels like a loose chain, but it's 100% not. Worn out cush drive???
- 95 Vfr With Exhaust Leak? Audio Clip Included. zoomzoom, 2016-06-16 at 7:13 PM Hmmmmm, well, I'd be happy to bring the exhaust with me and the ride to Kaslo from Kelowna is fantastic.. Do you still have the exhaust? I may have someone coming from Kelowna that can…

- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread I haven't been to Idaho Peaks yet but I've been to the Buchanan Lookout a couple of times on my DR350. Here's a couple of teaser pics: [image: yqT8NlloHAGnQPnRmsWX6c2wzgBWKUfr5p0b1kDl] [image:…
- Longer sidestand I've not heard of one, but curious why you need a longer sidestand. The stock one doesn't have excessive lean. Or did you increase your suspension height?
