Last 50 of 283- Anybody finding the bronze wheels a little tame? 13 hours ago, Lorne I will never understand why some folk like black wheels. For example, here are three tricolore VTec VFRs, each with different coloured wheels. The one with black wheels looks, imnsho, just looks dull…
- It just needs a little love. “Unloved” doesn’t even begin to cover it. You are my hero. Good luck!
- Need Favor - Pics of OEM 6th Gen ABS Preload Well, I can see now that it is impossible to see the front half of this hose with the rear fender in. In any case, I have the bike back together, with reservations... For whatever reason, I do not have enough slack to…
- Need Favor - Pics of OEM 6th Gen ABS Preload Thanks so much guys. Helps a LOT. Looking forward to getting this thing back on the road this weekend. Cheers. 3 hours ago, Lorne c92, here are some shots from the remote shock adjust hose routing on my '09 VTec. Sorry…
- Need Favor - Pics of OEM 6th Gen ABS Preload Hey there. Currently reassembling my bike again after replacing the shock with a DMr-massaged unit last year, which worked great until I mis-routed the remote preload adjuster hose. It wore through and leaked its oil…
- Tale of 2 Bikes 17 hours ago, NISxMO Carlitos you son of a gun! You know how long I've been after a VFR and your darn 599 posts almost pushed me over the edge to a 6th gen! Lol found an anniversary edition for $3500 which is more than…
- Diet For Bike 10 hours ago, Thumbs If you're seriously going to fit a lithium battery just to save weight, then make sure you empty your bladder frequently, carry only a credit card and leave your phone behind And if you can hold the…
- Tale of 2 Bikes Dude. What's up? About time you came 'round. V4s are awesome, no? Welcome to my post-599 hangout. JHenley is around here somewhere, too.
- Going to MotoGP in Austin, April 21-22 Getting close! Weather shows rain on Saturday/clear on Sunday, but who knows. Because Texas... If anybody wants to say hello next weekend and talk VFRs, PM me and/or roll-call here please.
- 2005 VFR 800 where is bleed location for rear pcv air bleed Remember that you need to bleed the linked piston up at the front left to get the air out of that rear system. It's counterintuitive but might be part of the problem. I just bled my 2007 ABS and even with a Mityvac I…
- RC213v op costs So you're saying there's no skipping the valve adjustments on this one? :goofy: I found that dyno video quite, uh... provocative .
- Help identify this mystery part! So my bike is all back together and I gave her a good shakedown run this afternoon. After all that work, I only lost one bolt (rear cowl hex bolt) so I think I did pretty good. No parts left over! :happy: I did lose the…
- 5th Gen, front sprocket bolt stuck, advice? 7 hours ago, courtuk Thanks for suggestions. I tried at it again today, I realised the impact sockets are 6 sided instead of 12 sided, but the air gun was useless. I ended up putting the impact socket on to my long…
- It's decision time ... Keep on riding. I wouldn't say 36K is anywhere near "a lot of miles for a VFR." :wink: I just dumped several hundredousands of $$ in upgrades into my 2007 (with more miles than yours on it) and tore the bike down pretty…
- Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. 5 hours ago, Africord Just picked the Purolator Pure One PL14610 and discovered they are no longer putting the rough yellow coat on the outside anymore which made it easy to install. It now looks like this: [image:…
- VTEC Header Tetris Help 6 hours ago, Loftust :wink: Saw your original post and appreciate the help, but there wasn't anything "loose" about my centerstand when I successfully pulled the headers out, nor in the service manual re-install…
- Going to MotoGP in Austin, April 21-22 6 hours ago, atx Damn that is an ambitious day right there. Why are you giong through San Antonio? Just to cut the time down i guess? Yep, that's the return home. Figured a superslab to the beer after a day of riding…
- Going to MotoGP in Austin, April 21-22 Well, this'll be a hell of a day. :wink: https://goo.gl/maps/s6hDBNmWzy32 [image: 2017-03-12_13-16-29.jpg]
- VTEC Header Tetris Help Epilogue / Comedy Bonus: I could not get the headers threaded back through no matter how I attacked it. I even removed the EVAP canister and anything else I could that fouled, but it was not to be. Funny - I did not…
- Sixth-Gen LED Taillight Bulb Retrofit bryan217, 2/21/2017 at 7:13 AM I think I'm going to go with the SuperBrightLED ones. Here is the new link for them.:…
- VTEC Header Tetris Help 9 hours ago, Loftust Is the collector bolted to the underside of the bike yet? I found that I had to very loosely fit everything, including the centre stand, before I could get everything nice and snug. The only exhaust…
- VTEC Header Tetris Help I don't remember having any trouble unthreading the front headers when I took them off a couple of weeks ago, but I'm having a hell of a time getting them back in position. Bike is on its centerstand and a head lift…
- Rode in the rain for the first time tonight! 6 hours ago, Skids The inside of your helmet got wet? Were you scuba-diving? :goofy: Honestly, that. ^ Several years ago I rode three hours through a storm system that flooded major cities, shut down interstates, and…
- Am I Crazy? Most Possbly Yes I'm pretty sure those side vents in the fairing will be allowing air to be pulled out at speed, not pushing it into the airbox. The high-pressure zone is really underneath the headlights where the oil cooler is. Worst…
- Help identify this mystery part! Lol. Only 100kg.
- 1985 VF1000R Restomod 11 hours ago, jhenley17 If I had the money right now, I'd have an angry wife. Like you don't know how to make her angry without money. :tongue:
- Help identify this mystery part! 4 hours ago, Epyon007 Well keep us informed! I'm hoping to get a 6th gen for 2up and touring duties and I would like an ABS model, then send my stuff out to Jamie at DMr to get fixed up. Will do. It occurred to me that…
- Help identify this mystery part! Again, I am doing a LOT of stuff... all the fluids, a shift kit, and some other tidbits. It looks worse than what is truly needed for just shock removal. I haven't even pulled the 13 brake/clutch lines yet! :unsure: I…
- Help identify this mystery part! 10 hours ago, Epyon007 How was the removal of the shock? By the time you are to the point of threading the remote preload adjuster out, you've already disassembled the bike anyway. I didn't find it a big deal. If you…
- Help identify this mystery part! 28 minutes ago, Epyon007 How was the removal of the shock? It was a royal PITA, and I am not talking about "a mediterranean flatbread fit for a king." Kidding - it wasn't too bad. But with all the stuff I am doing, it's…
- Going to MotoGP in Austin, April 21-22 Ordered my GA three-day pass. Did NOT order parking passes, so hopefully that'll keep me locked in to riding down as opposed to cheating in a cage. :tongue: If anyone else is riding there and has extra time, I highly…
- Help identify this mystery part! 1 minute ago, Duc2V4 That goes on the battery side below the cover that wraps around the key hole for the seat latch. item #7 in this diagram...…
- Help identify this mystery part! So, my 2007 ABS model is currently disassembled, awaiting DMr suspension rework, and a Factory Pro shift kit and Galfer lines under the Christmas tree. This little guy fell out as I was popping the bike off the center…
- Endurance Racing VF500 build. You are a saint for saving this one, sportstu. Enjoying the thread and wishing you success and enjoyment.
- Going to MotoGP in Austin, April 21-22 2 hours ago, choco I got two tickets in grandstand 15, and it looks like we'll be able to see quite a few of the best turns. I also bought one paddock pass for $250, yikes. Expensive, but I just gotta go down there and…
- Going to MotoGP in Austin, April 21-22 Been twice and will go in 2017. I quite like the GA tickets, but you will need a fold-up chair to sit - or you can just hit the grass, picnic-style. I've done both. I enjoy moving from turn to turn and getting different…
- 2010 800 Overheating From what I remember, there is a "hard stop" at 121C/250F at which point you need to be shutting down. On days near 27C ambient you should not be anywhere near that. These bikes all have different personalities, but…
- Going on a really long trip first time any tips Lots of good advice from experienced guys here. Having done the "2,500-mile 5-day weekend" slog to that part of the world a few times, I'll reinforce a few crucial things to mainly alleviate potential suffering: * no…
- New Guy From Prairieville, La Dude.
- "official" Hog Tie 2016 - Sep 23-26 2016 Following. Last year fizzled out for me, but hopefully I can get up there in 2016.
- Could Someone Please Loan Me $184,000? There's an NR750 on ebay right now. Maybe the bank will let you have that instead. Drool factor is about the same...for me anyway. [image: $_57.JPG] Yes, and it will stomp the neutered US version of the RC213V-s as…
- Clean 6Th Gen At Ft Rucker Alabama I think I'm seeing balls 32 on the VIN sticker. I've got balls 39 (00039) so they're close! I think it's "balls 22." :laugh:
- Group Dinner! I will pack light on clothes and heavy on beer. Also willing to chip in if needed.
- Prb's 2Nd Annual Vfrd Fall Rally, Boone Nc, Oct 9-13 2015 Good news/bad news... I'm OUT for the Boone rally, but IN for the Hog Tie. See some of you guys at the latter it sounds like. Cheers.
- Prb's 2Nd Annual Vfrd Fall Rally, Boone Nc, Oct 9-13 2015 Tentatively IN.
- Identify This Crap! Looks like it might be mouse/rat poison if it's not the rodent food shown above. [image: mouse-rat-poison.gif] +1 Coumadin for you high blood pressure folks. Roll On VFRD.. Technically, it's an anticoagulant, not an…
- Well, I Just Bought Kenny Roger's Vfr... I'm biased, but it's the perfect bike, no matter who owned it before ya. :)
- A New Door Opens, A Vf500Fii Fantastic bike. Congrats and thanks for sharing.
- 04' Honda Cb599 I had the same bike as MadScientist, and he has pretty much nailed it. The suspension is REALLY crap on those bikes, but it's an old CBR600F3 motor and will be moderately enjoyable if you take care of the carbs, intake…
- Motogp Austin - April 10-12, 2015 A two-pronged post: 1. Who's going to the race at Circuit of the Americas this year? I bought my tickets months ago. 2. I figure the bike is going with me no matter whether I ride it from DFW or trailer it - which means…
