All 37- 0 mile V4's Love that picture of Miguel and Linneah, what a fox. The golden age of AMA racing
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear Not sure if I did the right thing or not leaving the fan temp stock. All I know is I had a manually operated fan switch on my blackbird and destroyed my CHARGING SYSTEM :goofy: at 13K. Mostly because I forgot to turn it…
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear My apologies to those looking for information in this thread [image: yYXwjXEczB-4.png]
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear For god's sake I should have just said "charging system" Changing the subject... Does disabling the exhaust servo smooth out the power at all?
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear Just talked to Mr. Guhl, I didn't have him lower the fan temp and he seems to not understand why. I'm wondering why this helps when it's such a well heat managed bike, doesn't it tax the alternator if you do a lot of…
- Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 So between the reserve light coming on later, a minute tank size increase and slightly better mileage they were able to stretch the perceivable range quite a bit, and actual range enough to make a difference.
- Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 1 hour ago, Volfy For there to be 40 mile difference, '12 would need to have a 7mpg advantage over a '10. Math: 40 - 5 = 35 miles (accounting for 0.1 gal difference in fuel tank capacity) 35 / 5 gal tank = 7 miles per…
- Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 I was wondering about the Died comment too... I also so no need to rip the engine apart to check the valves at 16K, especially if it's acting like it did then it was new, which most, if not all Honda's do.
- Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 18 hours ago, Volfy I doubt there is any appreciable mpg differences between '10 and '12+, other than individual variances, which isn't trivial. I do know some VFR1200 riders seem to get worse mpg, for whatever reason.…
- Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 Much appreciated Swimmer! I don't own one so I don't understand how the mileage computer works, are those numbers to empty?
- Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 Don't the 2012's get better mileage? There's a very reputable Iron Butt member named Blakebird who easily got over 200 on his 2012, is that common?
- Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 Can anyone having experience with both models comment on the fuel range? It's really the only concern I have in choosing a 2010 and far more expensive 2012. I've heard about the 2012's going well past 200 miles and…
- New Tires Needed. Looking For Advice. You really can't go wrong if you are getting a premium brand. Anything will transform the bike into an even better handling bike than it already is.
- Just Test Rode My 3Rd Vfr1200 I'm a little confused. Will a 2012 benefit from a flash as much as a 2010?
- Just Test Rode My 3Rd Vfr1200 After seeing how people are impressed with the results I would really love to ride one of these with the recall done and flashed. Probably be getting one fairly soon, won't be able to enjoy riding until I do :comp13:…
- Just Test Rode My 3Rd Vfr1200 Propeller shaft hasn't been done. So that helps alot?
- Just Test Rode My 3Rd Vfr1200 OK I can live with that. Here's the VIN, how do I see if the recalls have been done? JH2SC6313CK200104
- Just Test Rode My 3Rd Vfr1200 @Skids - I didn't know there were updates but I could find out. @ Suzuki416 - 115miles to a tank? That's horrible, it's 177 miles from Ely to Tonopah NV. Is that a 2010 you speak of and what kind of riding? Supposedly…
- Just Test Rode My 3Rd Vfr1200 Rode a stock 2010, Zbombed 2010 and now a stock 2012. This 2012 had brand new PR4's but taking it through a couple of cloverleaf freeway ramps I was astonished and thrilled that such a heavy bike could turn so well.…
- Engine Heat Poll Excellent info guys. My only concern is that I'm just a sissy because so many others have said the ZX14R has excellent heat management but I found it to be the complete opposite riding through Nevada in 100 degree…
- Engine Heat Poll I've recently had this thing about heat. I don't like it and that's why I made this thread. I just sold my ZX14R because it was a furnace in the summer time. I also believe heat production and heat management are two…
- Vfr1200 2015 Is the area around the tank maxed out? Is there even room for more fuel of they wanted it? Without widening the tank that is?
- Bigger Fuel Tank Has anyone mounted fuel bottle to the underside of the factory bags? Would fit well?
- Thinking Of Trading Fjr Ae For V12 225 is no better than my XX, is there a consensus on the updated bikes getting better mileage? Most of the figures I've seen are on the Red ones.
- Problems, Which Bike To Ride...? 1st world problems at their best
- Thinking Of Trading Fjr Ae For V12 I've talked a lot of shit about the V12 but I just can't connect with my FJR, it's just too massive and seems like overkill. The good news is that my experience with a clutchless shifting bike, I know now I can live…
- Ok, it's a whale! [image: View Post]zRoYz, on 23 July 2012 - 07:29 AM, said: Bit harsh comparing VFR1200 to any sportsbike, even a 6th/5th gen there not in same bracket. The VFR1200 in my opinion shouldn't have the sports tourer tag,…
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars Hey Mike, judging from that picture, you stil have some forward lean going on there. If you were to put some bars on there with some more rise, then you'd have to do the lines but would you have to extend anything else,…
- Exhaust photos and comments. What kind of weight savings do you get with an aftermarket pipe?
- Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars How do those bars effect vibration, better or worse? Is there any way to, take those motocross bars and reduce vibration at the same time? Wonder if you could fill them with something heavy?
- Fuel Range So has anyone thought about ideas for carrying extra fuel? Wouldn't take much, even a gallon would easy my worries considerably. Any options?
- Fuel Range I can't buy until this winter anyway, bet i could statch up a '12 DCT the week after christmas for 13,000 OTD? Also, it sounds like they did mess with the shift points, cool! and traction control would be sweet
- Fuel Range Did they revise the DCT it in 2012? SO frustrating the lack of info on the updates. It's almost like they are pissed off at us for not buying more of them.
- VFR 1200 Looks This is good for me to know I guess. I'm having a heard time visualizing myself touring on a VFR1200, it's like a mental block or something, it just doesn't look like a all day rider to me. Stock anyway.
- VFR 1200 Looks I don't own one but I'm sure when I do the looks will grow on me. I do however believe it would have been a lot better recieved by the public if it didn't look so... "different"
- Bazzaz Early Dyno Results That sucks! Do you see that changing anytime soon? What about the changes made to the 2012?
- Bazzaz Early Dyno Results So do these mods work on the DCT? Also how does it effect mileage?
