  1. Factory seat deterioration 19 Apr 2012 15:59 The bike is garaged except when it's parked at work and even then, there is plenty of shade. When you look up close you can see that the vinyl they used is paper thin.
  2. Factory seat deterioration 19 Apr 2012 14:54 Has anyone else had the vinyl disintegrate on their seat? The front top corner of mine has broken vinyl where it meets the tank. I'm surprised to see this on a two year old bike. I wasn't planning on a Sargent just…
  3. Who was coming down the 405 this morning? 24 Sep 2011 18:24 RWB = Red with bags? I couldn't tell if there were bags or not. Do you have any interest in getting a Saturday or Sunday morning coffee meeting together with other owners in So Cal? It would be cool to see what people…
  4. Who was coming down the 405 this morning? 23 Sep 2011 05:24 Was that one of the members I saw heading south around South Coast Plaza today?
  5. What are your tricks for removing the rear wheel? 18 Sep 2011 13:58 So I got all my parts together (finally) to replace the front and rear wheels and tires after my run in with a truck part in the road. Front wheel is straightforward enough, but I was surprised when the manual said I…
  6. If you are thinking about getting a Juice Box or PCV this might be helpful 11 Jun 2011 16:30 Is your check engine light stuck on now? [image: View Post]tin, on 10 June 2011 - 08:17 AM, said: First of all I would like to say that the difference with my JB on is amazing. All snatchy throttle problems at low speed…
  7. Before I make a decision about buying a 1200.... 1 Jun 2011 14:50 I commute a 100 miles/day and I would not consider the PC5 optional. [image: View Post]Skids, on 01 June 2011 - 01:57 AM, said: Hi guys. I'm seriously considering buying a 1200 (either model) and I'm trying to get to…
  8. New Owner, First Impressions.. 5 May 2011 15:00 Little did you realize that you have not been riding your motorcycles properly for the last several decades.... :mellow: [image: View Post]BrandX, on 04 May 2011 - 11:18 PM, said: I was at the dealer the day before this…
  9. New Owner, First Impressions.. 5 May 2011 14:57 I know your aggravation. I am very happy with the improvement after installing the PC-V. Had mine run the way it does now when I bought it, I would have been a much happier Honda customer. [image: View Post]BrandX, on…
  10. New Owner, First Impressions.. 30 Apr 2011 18:49 I was similarly unhappy with the fueling when I bought my bike. I just didn't think I need to insist on test riding a Honda given the reputation of the company. Lesson learned. I highly recommend you get the…
  11. Fairing panels - removal 4 Apr 2011 05:30 [image: View Post]GSIG, on 03 April 2011 - 03:15 PM, said: Having now ordered a VFR1200 I will be adding a number of ancillaries. Accordingly I�ll need to take the fairing panels off and lift the tank. Having followed…
  12. Power Commander 20 Mar 2011 16:56 Yes, there are two supplied with the PCV. You can see them in the picture I posted. [image: View Post]Ralfralf, on 18 March 2011 - 04:33 PM, said: [image: View Post]ddr, on 10 March 2011 - 10:53 AM, said: I received…

  14. Power Commander 11 Mar 2011 04:47 I was very happy to see that the postman brought my unit today. I'm off to install it..... If you have not removed your body panels yet, be prepared, they are a pain. And be sure to order some of the white clips ahead…
  15. Power Commander 16 Feb 2011 00:01 Placed an order yesterday and.... wait for it..... its on indeterminate backorder. Ugh.
  16. Power Commander 13 Feb 2011 22:51 Has anyone tried the "autotune" box? It seems to use a supplied O2 sensor and from what I can gather, the PCV bypasses the stock O2 sensor altogether. I plan to call Dynojet and confirm that this is the case, but…
  17. Powercommander for VFR1200f 26 Oct 2010 15:25 Congratulations on being the first to have a PC for this bike. Can you tell me if you notice a difference in the 3k - 4k throttle performance? Is the "snatchy" throttle syndrome gone that drives me crazy in city…
  18. Powercommander for VFR1200f 2 Oct 2010 22:44 The third gear roll on out of a corner on this bike is fantastic. Better than any other bike I have owned or ridden in that respect. Just a question that someone might know the answer too, have they speed limited the…
  19. Just Bought My New VFR1200 DCT - Very Dissattified 27 Sep 2010 21:12 It was over 100 degrees on my commute in this morning in heavy traffic. I was riding 40 - 55 mph most of the time but also had some stoplights. The cooling fan was on most of the time, but the temp gauge never got above…
  20. Just Bought My New VFR1200 DCT - Very Dissattified 12 Sep 2010 04:25 I don't know from first hand experience, but I have been told that wrapping stainless headers can cause them to crack from heat stress. [image: View Post]phobe, on 11 September 2010 - 08:51 PM, said: [image: View…
  21. VFR1200F insurance rates 3 Aug 2010 14:34 I switched from Progressive to Safeco recently because my Progressive rates at renewal jumped by a lot without any change in my status. Full coverage for the VFR1200F in S. Cal with $500 deductable is $462/yr. For…
  22. Paddock Stand 15 Jul 2010 23:55 I spoke with Pitbull today. They are making a stand for about $139 that is now available. I tried to buy it through the Honda dealer since it is a Honda tool, but my dealer sent me to Pitbull. No shipping charge if you…
  23. Hell for Leather review of the VFR1200F (spoiler: it's harsh) 14 Jul 2010 22:07 I think maybe someone dialed in a some very bad suspension adjustment (way too much rebound damping) and the shock compressed and was not rebounding properly. That would explain a lot of what the rider described like…
  24. vfr1200 vs bmwk1200s 14 Jul 2010 05:25 My impression is as follows, keep in mind I have not ridden the VFR12 enough to get a long term sense of it. VFR12 (600 miles so far) Great build quality, great motor, suspension is very firm for touring unless the road…
  25. 2nd Gear Flat Spot is Dangerous! 9 Jul 2010 01:42 I have a new VFR that is in for the 600 mile service and I complained to the svc manager about what I would call stumbling/surging especially in the 3k - 4k rpm range. I have never had the sense that I would have…
