Last 50 of 184- New shaft drive motorcycle land-speed record? Lolz Veefour you don't understand what a timing association is, your comments make no sense. You need to get help, counseling or something
- New shaft drive motorcycle land-speed record? So VFR155 has shown his official LTA timing slip. It confirms without a doubt 177.3 MPH veefour has shown a screenshot of a smartphone gps showing 178.7 MPH VFR155 has shown absolute proof, veefour has not. A run down…
- Vote For Kaslo, Bc As Canada's Most Rider Friendly Community HispanicSlammer Why do people single out loud bikes, and not loud commercial trucks for example? Certainly loud bikes are a nuisance but loud trucks outnumber us by quite a bit. Turbo diesels with drivers Jake Braking…
- Vote For Kaslo, Bc As Canada's Most Rider Friendly Community auggius Okay I hate these Internet popularity contests. They don't really prove anything except for who can get the most friends & families to vote for their cause. Here is the link to vote for Kaslo as Canada's Most…
- Recall Update Thread moved to an administrative forum, brilliant! lolz
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts crakerjac I have a set of torque wrenches... but as I'm putting stuff back together, I always have to turn it just a little more... then a little bit more for good measure. My dad is the same way and I will probably…
- Car Cuts Me Off So you got cut off, it happens all the time. People make errors, especially motorcyclists. So really, just get over it.
- Visit To Bmw Dealer Saved Me 20K Visit to Ducati dealer COST me 20k
- Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder MiniCarver Tamworth VFROZ This is the strangest thread I've ever followed. In my mind, it can't be the plug, Pair valve or head/gasket. It has to be coming through the throttle bodies, or more likely the rubber…
- Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder VFROZ This is the strangest thread I've ever followed. In my mind, it can't be the plug, Pair valve or head/gasket. It has to be coming through the throttle bodies, or more likely the rubber insulator bands (boots).…
- Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder I know this is going to sound stupid but why would you leave this bike out in the torrential rain. You could maybe put a cover over it or pull it into a garage. I mean c'mon.
- Intake Valve Carbon Build Up I noticed the same build-up during my valve inspection. An article about it (by someone who seemed to have a clue) said it was caused by fuels not having enough additives to combat this, cheating on additives to…
- Centerstand Compatibility You can order one through Honda, Only the specific vfr1200 stand will wirk. Do not be tempted to buy the Mototech one, its badly designed and works poorly
- Who's Interested In Big Time Bike Protection? Good if you don't have a garage, hopefully it's waterproof. As far as "big time protection" I don't think sheet aluminum and inch square alu frame would stop a thief for more than 20 seconds. With a car and a rope this…
- Opinions Needed And Appreciated Keep in mind that the vast, vast majority of VFRs have not had electrical problems. Replacing working parts is a recipe for "I wish I left it alone"
- Any interest in sharing oil testing data? But in reality adding any of this leaded "race fuel" will not reduce wear or make any difference at all. Fun to think that it might though.
- Havent Been Here A While. Any Fixes For The Touchy Throttle By Wire In First Yet? There's no fix that I'm aware of -- Marsman is right, no real improvement from the re-flash (at least in that regard). I seem to recall some people having good results with the PCV...? It shows up as a problem for me…
- Titanium Sprocket Group Buy? What's an OEM and most common aftermarket Brand (JT?) rear sprocket worth over there in 'Marykuhland?? $48.00
- 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. YoshiHNS If you are doing significant modifications to the bike (AKA track or SF), it saves a ton of space, and 1lb of weight maybe. A ton of space? Like a few cubic inches in areas where it's completely irrelevant, and…
- 5th gen "coil on plug" setup. WackenSS Except the mileage data, do we have some data telling us that there is some kind of up-side to this? Hotter spark = lower fuel consumption? (At least in the O2 sensor vfr) Dyno numbers? Coolant temp? Anything?…
- Pre-Painted Honda Oem Faring Panels I saw DCM on eBay. They have a certain oder I have learned to detect. :wacko: So where do I get OEM panels? A Honda dealer should be able to help you out with that
- What is this Looks like possible coaxial connectors. My guess is a component of the telemetry or video system. Can't imagine they would mount a fuel or brake component in such a remote location
- Oil Change Interval...8K? snip Honda built the thing and recommends oil change at 8K intervals with their Dino oil which is crap, if you check on this it rates amongst the lowest in quality. .snip Can you produce a reference to this claim…
- '97 Can I Lower By Rotating Triangle Plates? Dodi burnes45 I searched the forum for lowering the rear end and only found 2 posts. One mentioned you could rotate the triangle plates forward 1/3 of a turn and get 3/4 of an inch, There was a picture I don't know what…
- V4 Went Bang On The Way Home The Other Night.... SuperBeef you're getting a lot of amateur speculation here with no actual troubleshooting procedure. A simple compression check will tell you if the piston or valve have been damaged. That is the very first step.
- The Cheesy Plastic Black Piece With The Fake Frame Wield Point: Vfr 1200 RogueWave This was something hidden in the pictures. If you look at the middle piece of the bike between the transmission and tank cover, there is a cheesy black cover with a fake wield point. All on a $17,000 bike.…
- Flash Ecu Vfr1200 Conclusion... Please Only Experience From People Who Have Theire 1200Ecu Flashed, No Speculations Only Facts! why are you excluding people from posting here ?????? this is nonsense, any member should be able to comment on any post going back to VFRWorld soon....i'd like to know why my thread about the RC213V-S prototype was…
- Flash Ecu Vfr1200 Conclusion... Please Only Experience From People Who Have Theire 1200Ecu Flashed, No Speculations Only Facts! I imagine I am in the minority, but if I get mine re-flashed, I'd like the hp in 1st to be about 1/2 between what Honda has it and totally unrestricted. I would want 2nd thru 6th totally unrestricted. Can Don do that,…
- Wave Rotors On Abs Bikes But all wave rotors do is slightly reduce braking efficiency. Why would you put them on your bike?
- Flash Ecu Vfr1200 Conclusion... Please Only Experience From People Who Have Theire 1200Ecu Flashed, No Speculations Only Facts! snip I can even run smooth at 450KM/H in 3th now, snip The above statement really needs some clarification. The thread title could use a re-working as well The only improvement I have from Don's ECU alteration is a…
- Shipping A Ecu To Dutchy's point - I thought NAFTA did away with the duties and customs fees between Can / US / Mexico. I must not understand it completely. Lolz, the only thing NAFTA did away with was Canadian and US jobs
- Ride Like Your Invisible Jeez, this "cagers vs motorcycles" thing makes no sense. How many people here are also car drivers.? Motorcycle riders are just as capable of driving like fools, or just making mistakes. I see motorcyclists every day…
- Bigger Fuel Tank BiKenG I couldn't help but notice a distinct lack of interest in my CrossTourer tank suggestion which is somewhat surprising since it may well offer exactly what everyone on this thread is asking for. Anyway, I looked…
- 2014 Vfr Gt Touring Screen Absolutely not a Honda wind screen. Honda would never put something like that on a bike.
- Calling All Fuel Maps I've had the re-flash and am very happy with the 2nd gear performance. That is why I had it done and that is the only performance gain I have noticed. He did give me a new map based on an Akropovic but it made no…
- Vfr1200 2015 BiKenG!, who the hell do you think you are, telling me I am living in cloud cuckoo land, don't get personal with me, that can work both ways, if you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself. But he said it in the…
- Ecu Re-Flash - All 4 Threads Merged Fasty - your English is fine! It's better than most Americans, that's for sure. Seriously though, I had to ask what OP meant a long time ago too. But Optimus Prime is so much better than Original Post(er). I can go back…
- Idle Way Too High. If it started happening after you replaced an 02 sensor then that is where your problem lies
- Land Speed Racing, Guhl Reflash Reality, Scott's Damper Possible I'm pretty sure this thread is about the 1200, which is why it is in the 1200 forum. Anything in regards to the Vtec would be pretty well irrelevant to the discussion.
- Land Speed Racing, Guhl Reflash Reality, Scott's Damper Possible Whats wrong nobody would buy your crappy looking block off plates. Why are you even posting on a VFR1200 related topic? All you're doing is insulting people about things you have no knowledge about.
- How Do You Use Your Dct? snip Someone suggested to use manual and drag the rear brake, when having to drive off and making a U turn, this is handy when tilting the bike sharply in a parking lot or gas station. Toggling between D mode, and S…
- What Did You Do To Your Vfr12 Today? snip After that I decided to insulate the bottom of the airbox to help keep intake temps down a hair. I then removed this white plastic bottles in the airbox. After about an hour of trying to figure out what they are…
- Bagster Tank Bags The Bagster is a serious piece of kit if you tour with luggage. 100% protection for the tank, many bags available from small city travelers to stackable touring units, to dog carriers apparently. All bags fit the same…
- Can Someone Please Confirm The Gearing Issue On The 2012 Vfr? Thanks everyone. I'm mostly concerned about the major hesitation people talk about when quickly wanting to accelerate in 1st or 2nd gear - such as when passing a car or coming out of a corner. So the question is - is…
- Can Someone Please Confirm The Gearing Issue On The 2012 Vfr? Hey guys - first post. I'm currently riding a Ninja 1000 but can't stop drooling over the VFR 1200F manual version. It seriously checks all the boxes for what I'm looking for in a bike, but I keep hearing about the 1st…
- Fan Control - Choose To Turn Fan On Or Off Or Allow The Bike To Control There's no davantage to turning a fan on earlier than it would be turned on by the stock temp. switch, and there's absolutely no advantage to turning it off before the temp. switch would. It does not use any more power…
- How Screwed Am I, In Dollars? You cant bleed the clutch like the brakes, snip Sure you can, exactly same procedure, works perfectly.
- What Is Going On With My Rear Sprocket? If the chain required adjustment frequently from day one then it was a poor chain and started stretching from day one. That combined with aftermarket sprockets which would likely be of lower quality. Can't use that…
- Air Filter Change Not really a question...really just an admission of neglect. All the time I've owned my 2004 since acquiring it from the original owner 3 years ago when she had 24k miles on the clock, I have never changed the air…
- Ordered Vfr1200 Hard Bags. Have You Had Issues jtreadway Ordered my side cases for my red VFR1200 for $1050 on September 21st, and I'm still waiting. Grrrrrrrrr. Honda US tells me the reason for the delay was due to problems at the Honda paint facility in Japan that…
