  1. Crash protectors 27 Jul 2019 02:32 I've said this before, but I would not recommend frame sliders to anyone on this bike. I had these same R&G sliders on my first 2010 VFR1200F. I was t-boned by a car at slow speed and low sided with the bike sliding…
  2. Center Stand Or Pitbull? 8 Jan 2015 01:06 I don't really see the point of a Pitbull stand if you have or can get a much simpler to use center stand. Us 4th genners are lucky, We can remove the center stand and reinstall back, literally it in seconds (without…
  3. Need To Change A Tire, But Have No Stands... 6 Oct 2014 01:11 +1. I've almost dropped a bike on myself whilst changing a rear shock when I was younger. I did a similar ghetto 'rafter hang' job and I heard a cable coming loose while I was laying next to the bike working a bolt off…

  5. Need To Change A Tire, But Have No Stands... 30 Sep 2014 03:05 I hate center stands, especially on a sport bikes, so I bought the PitPulI rear stand. It was $180 shipped from sportbiketrackgear.com, which is $10 more than the dealer is charging you to take off a tire and you get a…
  6. How Do You Use Your Dct? 1 Sep 2014 16:45 Suzukijo, not to be presumptuous, but you can override any auto mode (D or S) by simply pressing the up or down paddles on the left. This will put you in manual mode immediately and in the next higher or lower gear, no…
  7. How Do You Use Your Dct? 31 Aug 2014 03:38 Suzukijo, I have owned both models. I use mine 99% of the time in manual mode. When I take it to the canyons on the weekends, I sometimes use S mode, but again mostly in manual mode. I think the dual clutch is tits and…
  8. Kabooom good bye VFR 27 Oct 2012 17:55 I agree with duchy 100%. I also need to point out two problems... 1. The groom is headed to divorce in that relationship. 2. That looks like they shot that at the end of the L.A. river. I donated my time and money to…
  9. Looking at a new 1200 DCT, Got ?'s 12 Aug 2012 06:34 Hi Crazybrother, I know you said you made your decision, but I thought I'd post my thoughts for anyone who reads this thread in the future. I have owned both models. My first VFR1200F was totaled when I was t-boned by a…
  10. Pit Bull stand purchased in or delivered to Europe ? 18 Mar 2012 21:55 I got my through sportbiketrackgear.com , but I had to email them because they don't list it on their website. I believe they ship internationally, so give them a email.

  12. Long Term Owner's Report - DCT at 15000 miles 22 Sep 2011 01:24 I'm one of the few people which has owned a standard VFR12000F and currently a own DCT model. I can say I love the DCT more than the standard model. I ride mine exclusively in manual mode and never get tired of shifting…
  13. Mods to my bike 4 Sep 2011 16:10 You can buy the stand directly from pit bull or any pit bull dealer. I email Pit Bull directly and they gave me part number #PB F0086-000. I don't understand why it's not advertised anywhere. I ended up buying mine from…

  30. How Many Bars Are You Showing 24 Oct 2010 17:02 Usually I see 3 bars during a hot day. I get 2 bars in the morning and in the evening when the weather is cooler. I also get 3 bars when I've been hustling the bike during spirited mountain rides. Seems normal to me.

  35. D'oh! I dropped her! 9 Oct 2010 23:12 Yup, I dropped her. I guess I'm the first on this board to drop a VFR1200f. Broken shifter, bent clutch lever, scratched side cowl and silver cowl (part thats says vfr1200f), and a little scratch on the alternator cover…

  39. Does the U.S. Version of the VFR1200F come with a tool kit??? 26 Sep 2010 03:23 My SV650 came with a pretty crappy set of tools too. I figured that I can put together a better kit anyway since the VFR1200R that I bought this morning didn't have tool kit either. :biggrin:
  40. Does the U.S. Version of the VFR1200F come with a tool kit??? 25 Sep 2010 04:49 Quick question... I looked under the seat of a VFR1200F at the dealer today. I noticed it didn't have a tool kit unlike the pictures posted on this forum by our European friends. Do we get a tool kit in the U.S.?

  45. What is everyone paying now that VFR1200f are available.... 3 Sep 2010 04:53 Thanks for the input. It sounds like 13.5k-14k is a good price.
