  1. Dynojet Pcv & Autotune & De-Cat. 4 Feb 2013 15:34 Very first-class job! Thank you for this write-up.
  2. Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? 29 Dec 2012 06:05 There's leftover everything right now, not just VFRs.
  3. Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? 27 Dec 2012 18:31 I think it was that everyone was expecting a next-gen VFR with the CBR-looks treatment, then got the 600 pound Cylon-look instead.. [image: battlestar_galactica_cylon_ru4469.jpg]
  4. Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? 24 Dec 2012 15:43 You never get back what you put into a bike, and as with cars, it depreciates the minute you drive off the lot. If you have mods, you will always have to sell separately unless the private buyer wants them. I never…
  5. Looking for good places to live in Ventura County 12 Aug 2012 13:53 Just ride up there during the weekday, like a Monday afternoon. There won't be any CHP nor any tourist traffic.
  6. Looking for good places to live in Ventura County 21 Jun 2012 14:01 You're gonna hate the SoCal heat, but you're gonna love the accessability of anything you need within 15 minutes driving time or less!
  7. Looking for good places to live in Ventura County 18 Jun 2012 13:56 The key to that 30 minute commute goal is to study the morning traffic patterns, and get a house where the direction to work is opposite of the "flow". Life will be less stressful. I used to work at NAS Point Mugu, and…
  8. Paint code for engine case? 31 Mar 2012 15:21 I don't know the code off hand, but there is a product out there that is a very nice cover for it! Check RG racing, I think they make it.
  9. Fuel filter - 7th gen? 25 Mar 2012 15:14 Oooh, when did that change?
  10. Fuel filter - 7th gen? 24 Mar 2012 14:22 The tank "sock" is on the inlet of the fuel pump. Cars have them, yes, but they also have a filter further up near the engine. Don't know about the VFR. I'll have to look into it more.
  11. Ride the Hills - HWY18 to ACH Mar.24th - CANCELLED 8 Mar 2012 14:38 Give it another month.
  12. Ride the Hills - HWY18 to ACH Mar.24th - CANCELLED 4 Mar 2012 06:59 Never do Mullholland on a weekend. If you go up on a Monday or Tuesday, you'd have it all to yourself. I used to go up to the canyons after work when I was at Point Mugu.
  13. Ride the Hills - HWY18 to ACH Mar.24th - CANCELLED 3 Mar 2012 22:58 I hate to say "I told you so", but those roads will be crap until it's a sure thing the snow is gone. Caltrans will be a little slow to sweep because the budget is short. A better bet is the lower coastal range canyons,…
  14. Ride the Hills - HWY18 to ACH Mar.24th - CANCELLED 2 Mar 2012 14:52 As long as it doesn't turn into a road race, I'd be interested.
  15. Sunday 2/19 8:30am-10:30am - Orange County Meet Up 19 Feb 2012 17:23 Damn! Saw this way too late! It's 9:30 already!
  16. Push starting a VFR1200F sucks 9 Jan 2012 01:31 If this bike is anything like my V65, push starting is not going to work. I tried to bump-start my V65 on a hill (in 3rd), the over-running clutch kicked in and the engine stopped turning (freewheeled). I had to call…
  17. End of the Year SoCal events 18 Dec 2011 18:21 I walked around all day Saturday. I stood in line to meet R. Lee Ermey, and even wandered around the Harley display! They had a bike all bolted into dyno rollers, and were letting people who never rode a bike, get on…
  18. End of the Year SoCal events 10 Dec 2011 15:55 Well, I'll be leaving for the bike show in about an hour.. on the Goldwing. It's 39 here in Elsinore :blink: , I want more fairing in front of me (and more saddlebags to carry stuff). My husband will be along this…
  19. End of the Year SoCal events 5 Dec 2011 02:36 You may want to check that start time. I've always understood that the show started @ 4pm on Friday..
  20. End of the Year SoCal events 22 Nov 2011 23:44 [image: View Post]Recalcitrance, on 21 November 2011 - 09:00 PM, said: ... Last year, it was raining. Hopefully this year will be clear. I went on that day, there was really light attendance at the show. Bought a set of…
  21. End of the Year SoCal events 20 Nov 2011 15:34 I have to return to work down to San Diego Sunday night; I'll be going on Saturday.
  22. End of the Year SoCal events 15 Nov 2011 15:47 I've taken the Frank Hawley Pro Stock M/C course a few years back. Angele Sampey was with George Bryce at the time. George is quite a guy, Angele was sweet! That was one expensive course when you factor in a plane…
  23. End of the Year SoCal events 14 Nov 2011 14:53 Melanie Troxel went "off-roading" that scared the crap out of her!! :ohmy:
  24. Honda unveils updated veefalo at EICMA 13 Nov 2011 18:13 The seat cover looks good, but serves no purpose. I'd rather have a Corbin Smugger trunk to carry small stuff.
  25. End of the Year SoCal events 13 Nov 2011 16:00 That's great! It rained here off-and-on all afternoon yesterday.
  26. End of the Year SoCal events 10 Nov 2011 18:11 They'll push it all back one day if it get's bad enough, they've done that before.
  27. End of the Year SoCal events 10 Nov 2011 14:58 We entered the car show last year. We were the only bikes there. No specific bike catagory, but lots of fun watching people stop and look the bikes over :happy: If the people in here have never been, you're all in for…
  28. End of the Year SoCal events 9 Nov 2011 23:53 This weekend is two events: The NHRA Winternationals in Pomona. The Elsinore Grand Prix (of On Any Sunday fame). Next month: John Force Holiday Car Show Dec 4th. Long Beach Bike Show Dec 9-11. Anyone interested?
  29. Honda unveils updated veefalo at EICMA 8 Nov 2011 15:05 Did I read bigger tank? I wonder if that's a retro-fit too, or does it alter the plastics?
  30. Cracked panel. 6 Oct 2011 14:06 Could the panel be cracking because of seat pan movement? Those stock seats seem to be pretty thin; a big guy would make one move quite a bit when sitting on it..
  31. Anyone up for a ride in the IE? 30 Sep 2011 14:05 Sounds great! Let's hope it doesn't rain. Let me know about meet up times and places.
  32. Heli Bars ???? 13 Sep 2011 19:36 I love my Heli Bars! I wasn't after the "up" as much as the "back"
  33. Anyone up for a ride in the IE? 13 Sep 2011 19:32 Sure. Please don't turn it into a road race, or you guys can put me in the back..
  34. Anyone up for a ride in the IE? 12 Sep 2011 21:54 Me too; work in San Diego, live in Elsinore..
  35. Before I make a decision about buying a 1200.... 1 Jun 2011 13:48 I gave up my 06 CBR1000RR immediately without hesitation when the VFR came out. If you ever owned a V65 you would understand. :biggrin:
  36. Power to the Top Box 9 May 2011 00:40 I'm more impressed with the phone! I'm going to have to get one of those some day.. :fing02: Great job!
  37. Bazzaz needs a VFR1200 for product development 30 Apr 2011 23:31 Do it Stinkyfinger, for the greater good! :fing02:
  38. Powercommander for VFR1200f 26 Apr 2011 21:57 If you search around a little, you'll find the one I posted that has the baseline. When PC did the evaluation, I had funished both mufflers for the testing. :fing02: to Dutchgixxer, welcome to the PC club!
  39. Powercommander for VFR1200f 22 Apr 2011 18:58 His distributor is different from yours. I'll help get to the bottom of it from this end if he wants me to.
  40. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 19 Apr 2011 16:52 They will probably release information when they get production up and ready. Getting the right plugs seems to be the stumbling block for Powercommander and probably them too.
  41. 1st new set of tires 10 Apr 2011 15:02 That's a tad bit low from the manual specs. How big is your center (straight cruise) footprint? If it's bigger than 1/3rd, maybe you should air up a little more.
  42. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 8 Apr 2011 19:21 I'm sure there will be a delay, just like Powercommander.
  43. Dropped my VFR1200F off at Zero Gravity today 2 Apr 2011 06:11 :cool: Shiny! That is looking ultra great. I'm glad that they finally got around to it and did their normal stellar job of it. :fing02:
  44. Dropped my VFR1200F off at Zero Gravity today 10 Mar 2011 15:39 Good deal! :happy: I tried to make those arrangements a year ago, and they told me that all they needed was a stock windshield to work with (and that they had ordered one).. I guess they gave up (?)
  45. Bazzaz needs a VFR1200 for product development 10 Mar 2011 15:36 ..and it's not supposed to rain this weekend. :cool:
  46. Dropping 2 cylinders 8 Mar 2011 16:25 Do not go on what someone tells you over the phone, get the bike into the dealer's service bay! I used to work in the Corporate car industry. California Lemon Law Arbitration (not sure about motorcycles) is three…

  48. Rear Hugger 26 Feb 2011 15:03 Hey fotodadi, just went to the site and there's no product review yet.. Go write one! :cheerleader:
  49. Bazzaz needs a VFR1200 for product development 25 Feb 2011 14:41 Jardine all the way, baby! :cheerleader: You won't be missing your bike today or tomorrow 'cuz you may be needing snow tires! :happy:
  50. How many miles did you get on your oem vfr12000 tire? 17 Feb 2011 15:05 I'm now at the 2800 mile mark (I have several bikes to ride), and the center flat spot on the rear is becoming very apparent. I tend to travel far on the freeways on the commute, and I'm guessing this is a soft compound…
