Last 50 of 2,062- 5th gen Stator output vfr800_red, 10/17/2024 at 6:49 AM Update: Yes, I’ve done all the above tests, and the fault was low AC voltage output so as Grumm mentioned this would be 2 phases shorted together. This failure is not documented in the…
- New to me 2001 Nice collection. The tank came our great. It's too bad owners allow that to happen. But that makes them cheaper to buy!
- 5th gen Stator output If you used the breaker shipped by Roadster with your 020, it's almost certainly the auto-reset type. IDK why he uses those. IMHO they're crap. I ditched mine for a 30A replaceable maxi fuse. Also, if you do replace the…
- Suddenly won't start! Out of gas? How long has the fuel gauge been blinking? Just curious, every 6th gen I've seen (in the US) has a small, round block off to the left of the ODO trip reset button. Yours appears to have a plunger type of…
- 5th Gen Insurance I pay about $320 / yr for my 6th gen. I have multiple vehicles and home policy tho - maybe that helps with discounts.
- New Seat So great to see a 3rd gen! :fing02:
- Inflation just deflated me! 11 hours ago, Tirso Got a Rabaconda during last Black Friday sale How does (or does it?) this work with the rear wheel from a SSSA? From the videos I've seen it appears to need the wheel bearings to keep it positioned.…
- Considering a VFR... help 8 hours ago, vfrcapn Lot's of people feel the same way. :wink: This is another forum member. [image: large.DSC07246.jpg.da67f3667be35deb668b3] The things the newer bikes are going to have though are the adjustable power…
- Considering a VFR... help johnnie903, 3/16/2024 at 8:30 PM Hello all. I was hoping to get a bit of advice about buying a VFR 800 from some folks that have them, as I am considering getting my first real street bike since my twenties. I am trying…
- Toronto Motorcycle Show 2024 The last MC show in the NW part of the country was I think in 2014. At that one, Honda did not even have the then new 8th gen on hand. When I asked the two Honda reps about it, they looked at each other and shrugged.…
- Slow burn 5th gen build - old skool kool! I'll start off by saying I've never expeirenced any of that with my 5th gen. I'll offer my $.02 - YMMV. 1. If you believe it to be the brakes, do not confine your search for answers to that. I would go over the bike…
- John McGuinness rides a 5th Gen VFR with 100k miles on the clock I can't think of a better way for a 5th gen to crack the 100,000 mile mark than being ridden flat out by an IOM champion!
- VTEC intake valve huge clearance gap. If you do a compression or leakdown test, the cylinder you suspect of having a valve not fully closed will quickly reveal itself. If one or both tests are good, then your valves are likely seating correctly. You mite…
- Michelin tire price hike! I found the Walmart vendor on ebay still, but just the PR2 180's - $115 US. It says "more than 10 available". But no fronts . . . Fingers crossed that they get more and they remain available.
- Michelin tire price hike! 1 hour ago, motormike I think I bought the last set. There may have been a single front and rear. :sad: Always hopeful, I'll chalk it up to supply chain issues - maybe they just need to get more in.
- Michelin tire price hike! 5 minutes ago, TimC I had no idea you could buy motorcycle tires from Walmart online. I usually get tires from Iron Pony in Columbus, OH, or online elsewhere, but now I'll have to remember this option. Thank for the…
- Michelin tire price hike! 30 minutes ago, motormike I just received a set of these. I ordered them from Walmart for $229 plus tax, delivery included. My date codes are front 4120, rear 0521. That's up $14 since I got mine there in March - still,…

- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 21 hours ago, bmart Last of the "more" boring videos. It was a very low key trip for us! Route 30 N from the lake (one of my favs). [video: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/opFJI-fWqe4?feature=oembed] Route 315…
- Age check in slo1, 2/9/2022 at 6:16 AM in my 60's, riding since the 70's. Many bikes have come and gone, but the 4th gens have stayed around the longest. Not my favorite "Touring" bike, but it's the one that speaks to my soul the…
- Age check in 23 hours ago, 2002vfr800 65. Bought the first Interceptor the Honda dealer in New Orleans got in in 1983, have a gen 8 now. [image: VFR 1983.jpg] Gotta love the Mullet . . . !
- 5th Gen Brake Bleed Issue - help please 8 hours ago, Skids Well......fitted the first pipe, that was fine, 2nd pipe was too short, they sent one of the pipes that attach to the SMC. So a quick call and they are manufacturing the correct pipe (I hope) and…
- 2022 VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 5/19-5/22 Wish I could join. Safe riding to all. Post pics!
- Bugbuster...where are they??? I find some insect carnage on the inside of my screen when I remove it for cleaning, tho I don't know how much of that is coming up and actually striking my helmet, etc. It's not a big deal tho and since it's a dark…
- Time to crank up the SuperCharger. 3 hours ago, SEBSPEED A pic from the other day. I have since installed the upper cowl with lights and am just waiting to get in the paint booth to finish the right side panel, then it will be done. [image:…

- Bugbuster...where are they??? 3 hours ago, mello dude Sooooo....waht is it? Gotta photo? 🙂 Ask and ye shall receive . . . There was also a 6th gen version, as I recall it not have the external (black in the photo) portion - it just tucked up under…
- Bugbuster...where are they??? The creator, Rivcyko, did not I believe create or sell a lot of them. He also made fiberglass huggers. He made the last bugbuster probably 10or so years ago. He hasn't been active here for over 5 years now. If an owner…
- Rear Rack suggestions for a 2014 VFR 18 hours ago, PACIFICMAN 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…
- New member...but not new member 1 hour ago, Crash1973 So, after 15 years of not riding, I have finally got myself back on two wheels. My wife surprised me in February with a white 2014 VFR for Valentine's day. I love it but I do still miss "Simone",…
- Time to crank up the SuperCharger. 1 hour ago, Sweeper I hate riding a motorcycle at posted speeds! I'd propose that there should be a separate limit for motorcycles. Maybe I'll run for public office? Just promise to cancel all motorcycle debt - you'll…
- 5th Gen Brake Bleed Issue - help please Hey Skids. Sorry that's giving you so much grief. Other than Grum's idea of cinching it down tighter, nothing other than it not being made to the proper spec or a manufacturing defect comes to mind. Were you able to…
- 2014 VFR800 Front Wheel removal 1 hour ago, Grum Hi Cogs and Terry. The 8gen front caliper is the same. There are two locating collars that lock the caliper to the mounting boss, and the bolts, as suggested, retain the caliper to the boss. Picture…
- 2014 VFR800 Front Wheel removal I've thought about drilling the heads and safety wiring the bolts rather than using thread lock, but never have gotten around to it. Unfortunately that's not an option on the SMC side caliper on LBS bikes. I sometimes…
- 2014 VFR800 Front Wheel removal 8 hours ago, Wald No, a good German always uses a torque wrench with +/- 0.001% accuracy! And every bolt gets its own serial number! :laugh:
- 2014 VFR800 Front Wheel removal 27 minutes ago, VFR78 I’ve only done it a couple of times, purely because its cost prohibitive. What I’d really like to know, or understand, is why Mr Honda says they need to be replaced. Lawyers?
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod There are PC maps for download in the downloads forum here, and Dynojet also has many available on their website. All are free. One here frequently used is Cozyes map. They're easy to change so you can keep trying ones…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod 7 hours ago, tbzep What's funny is that these issues vary from bike to bike. I had a 2004 and currently have a 2007 and a 2008 bike. I had the inevitable flatspot but no surging to speak of with the 2004. It was a very…
- o2 eliminator vs pair system mod What you're running in to is why so many have a PC III / V or a Rapid Bike on their 6th gens. Eliminating the O2 sensors will leave the ECU with no input signal about fuel mixture. You'll jump the wires at the connector…
- Hello from Lancashire, North West UK 4 hours ago, Dorian Absolutely! I'd only watched that HeroRR video a few days before doing the service, and I couldn't believe what he found in the airbox. Then it turns out my bike is exactly the same haha As long as…
- Hello from Lancashire, North West UK 2 hours ago, Dorian Oh, nearly forgot. Does anyone watch HeroRR on Youtube? I had an airbox situation extremely similar to his. Couldn't believe what was in there, and the snorkel has been nibbled. [image:…
- Hello from Lancashire, North West UK 8 hours ago, Dorian Hi all, been a bit of a lurker here for a while but bought a 2007 6th Gen VFR800 a week and a half ago. It's a really nice bike with a few tasty modifications. Looking forward to saying hello and…
- 5th Gen Brake Bleed Issue - help please Be careful not to crank it down too tight all at once - the tubing flare can split. Just sneak up on it a bit at a time until the leak stops. If you get to refusal and it's still leaking, maybe the fittings are not…
- 5th Gen Brake Bleed Issue - help please The only thing I can think of is that the angles of the flare on the tube and the fitting may not match. The manufacturer may have some insight in to that.
- Ride to Multnomah falls 11 hours ago, pdx650 To both of you fine ‘gents’, I agree. I will have to try one out first. It does look a bit ‘off’, but I am as well a bit off. So, maybe, it’s perfect for me. Also, is there a specific model of…
- Ride to Multnomah falls Once you have a topcase you'll wonder how you did without it. Despite the fact that I'm not crazy about how the TC looks on my 6th gen, I find myself keeping it on all the time - I use it constantly. I sort of have a…
- 1992 VFR750F Followed me home... on my trailer. 23 minutes ago, Lorne Graphics without the purple, eh? There are two other graphics that Honda used on black 3rd gens that both look better than the purple set you have. I changed to this VFR graphic on mine a few years…
- 1992 VFR750F Followed me home... on my trailer. Someone on here has posted a photo of a black 3rd gen with white wheels - looks killer. Can't recall if it's the 92 paint scheme or respray tho. Have to agree that Honda really nailed it with the white '93 - pure magic…
- $400 1990 VFR750F Apologies if I missed it - I see mention of the clean / repaint of the forks (looks great, BTW) - just wondering about the front wheel. Looks 5/6 gen to my somewhat trained eye. I've long been curious about backwards /…
- Has anyone done a SH847 voltage regulator on a 3rd gen. Here is a screenshot from Roadster Cycles with those two plus the FH020 all together. Hard to tell if the 020 is any smaller than the 775, but it looks close. [image: image.png.b840610b481d6f0a1ab6fbfa6cd87c67.png]…
