- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 Tammy, 12/10/2017 at 6:13 PM Derek & I will be celebrating our 10th year riding with VFRD friends ! This time I’ll be riding my own little Honda. A wee bit ambitious for my first multi day tour but I’m stoked !!…

- Any Good Shorter Rides Around Dfw? I live in Flower Mound so most of the short area rides I do are NW to N from me. On Sundays I usually leave at sunrise and I’m back home by 1:00 PM after about 200 -300 miles. I encounter almost no traffic on this route…
- Cleaning Techniques? WD40 works really well at removing oil, tar and grease. Another plus is you can spray it into some tight areas. Good luck. Mark
- Found some ball seat lug nuts that may work, lighter weight If your just looking to hide the lug nuts or match them to the color of you wheel, you might check these out. I bought some in black so they blend in with my black wheel. They work great. http://www.colorlugs.com/ Mark

- Convince me.... One of the things I think you will like most on the VFR1200 is the shaft drive over the 6th gen's chain drive. Less maint. and mess while out on a trip. Mark

- 8 spoke rim ready for my 6th gen and the Summit 2012 meet Bought this 8-spoke rim approx. 4 years ago. Previous owner had cleaned it up and had it professionally powder coated. It has never been on my bike. So for the up-coming Summit (2012) I thought what better time than the…
- Oil level - A little too much OK? I just changed my oil and find I added a little too much (I'm guessing approx. 1/4 quart). Yes I have ridden it (approx. 100 miles) so it has fully heated up and circulated. Picture was taken on the center stand. What's…
- Oil change 6th gen DaveM Nice write-up, but I have to say I couldn't disagree more with your assessment of the 6th gen plastic body pins. Once you know how to use them they beat any of the screw types for ease of use and reuse. Agreed!!!…
- regulator problems Possible the stator is bad? Mark
- Waterproof Volt meter I like the digital volt meters better. Here's why: I believe you can tell sooner when your elect. system may be starting to have a problem. Lets say you have always been seeing a constant 14.4 at speed on the highway.…
- Engine Temp???? Pretty normal for stop and go traffic in the summer. Once out on the open road at speed it should come down after awhile but it does take some time. When was the last time the cooling system was flushed and filled with…
- Changing Stator, any tips? Doing mine this weekend. I have already removed everything, now it's just putting it back together. With the bike on the centerstand not much oil comes out. If you have to move the bike any (while the stator cover is…
- Stator questions?????? Facts: 1. 2003 VFR bought new (has 60,000 miles). 2. It has had the harness recall and I added tightwads harness. 3. It has the orig. stator. 4. The battery 3 yrs. old. In preperation for this August's Summer Summit…
- Stripped Oil Drain Plug, am I screwed? After I tighten my oil drain plug on my VFR or Goldwing I always add a dab of blue RTV (a bead from the oil pan onto the drain plug). I let it dry overnight. The drain plug can not loosen on it's own now. RTV is easy to…
- Hard bag paint scheme. Opinions please! I've seen some posts of the bags done in all blue (matching) and then the rims also matching blue. Really looks sweet! Mark

- First Trip To the BRP and the Dragon WOW!!! To share that experience with your dad. PRICELESS Hope you get to do it again next year. Mark
- Change of oil weight I won't use a 5W/40 weight oil in the VFR due to the 5W. It would be fine if it was only lubricating the motor, but since it's also used to lube the wet clutch it's too thin to handle the shearing action the clutch…
- Powerlet Voltmeter Get a Escort / Passport radar detector. Plug it into the powerlet. The radar detector has a built-in voltmeter. That's how I monitor for radar and voltage at the same time. Mark

- VFRD Thank You So Much Well deserved HS. I'm just glad, when at the age of 46, and I purchased my first motorcycle, that it was a new 2003 VFR. This site you run has made motorcycling an even greater experience (great people, information,…
- Which to choose: 07 or 09? It seems the earlier great deals on new 07 VFR's was driven mostly by Honda's rebates to the dealers. I think that has ended and the great deals now (at least that's what it sounds like from my dealer) are being driven…
- Which to choose: 07 or 09? I like the 2008 silver / gray. I think the wheels are gray also. Add a red lip stripe to the wheels and that would be a sharp bike. I'm not a fan of most black bikes. They remind me of older plain HD's. But to each his…
