  1. New Member Hello 16 Oct 2011 01:22 Next do the 1st and 2nd gear mod to get rid of the big dip in those gears. Welcome aboard.
  2. Power Commander issue? 14 Oct 2011 22:07 Mine was a bit off at zero and open throttle, so I set it with the PCV software and my laptop. Can't tell much of a difference when riding though.
  3. Power Commander issue? 10 Oct 2011 22:17 Chris at Dynojet said don't worry about the calibration. Mine may be off; I didn't check it, but it runs perfect.
  4. New MAP for the VFR1200??? 23 Sep 2011 02:32 no need for new map if you have a PCV, and do the GPS mod for 1st and 2nd. Bike runs fantastic; clean from 2500 to 10000rpm
  5. Dragracing the VFR1200F 16 Sep 2011 02:35 Nice report! I'm running the 2 bros map; felt it was a tad smoother than the Jardine. But they are almost the same anyway... Seems like removing the plastic resonators made the intake noise a bit more, but no…
  6. ECU Update from Honda...reported on UK site 9 Sep 2011 13:33 My PC V was $270; my Leo Vince slip on was $270 as well. My GPS mod cost $15 for a solder gun. Full power in 1st and 2nd gear now, with no big dips around 3-4k rpm. The fueling and gear position 1st and 2nd gear issues…
  7. Aftermarket vfr1200 slipons 4 Aug 2011 23:44 since it has 2 cat converters ahead of the slip on, you don't need the quiet insert.
  8. resonator 16 Jul 2011 14:11 Sounds like a great ride. It's 104 everyday here in Texas now. A good time to tinker with the bike. Last night I spliced the wires at the ECM. 1st into 5th and 2nd into 6th. So, it will read 5,6,N,3,4,5,6 now. I turned…
  9. resonator 15 Jul 2011 17:26 I removed the resonators; about to order a PC V since Bazzaz is another month or more away. Not going to buy the auto tune though. You think it's better to splice the GPS wires at the ECM or down by the GPS? And thanks…
  10. resonator 15 Jul 2011 02:24 did you remove yours? The heat shield under the ECM looks like a pain to remove. Since I blocked off the PAIR line going into the front cylinders, I'm thinking of not trying to install the CBR block off plates. What's…
  11. resonator 15 Jul 2011 00:26 what's the purpose of the 2 resonators in the air box? noise suppresion? better intake air flow?
  12. pair mod, evap etc. 14 Jul 2011 03:47 Pulled the panels off, lifted the tank. Removed the EVAP canister, with the tank vent hose going into a low area of the frame. Disconnected the solenoid, and was wondering if that will generate a code error. Next,…
  13. Anybody put a Juice Box on theirs? 3 Jun 2011 22:51 tmausti +1 made by dynojet.
  14. Can you put a 190/50zr-17 tire on on vfr1200? 3 Jun 2011 22:33 I'm running a Pirelli angel ST 190/50. Not a huge difference in handling/gearing. Noticeable, but not bad. The Pirelli seems to have a more v shape profile than the Dunlop roadsmart.
  15. Greetings! new to the forum 26 May 2011 22:32 Howdy from Texas. You'll want a stiffer rear spring for sure.
  16. Honda bags or no 25 May 2011 01:43 FWIW, I borrowed some Nelson Rigg soft bags for a trip and they did just fine. Not sure what the retail price is though.
  17. Rear shock 13 May 2011 12:57 1035 lb/in = 18.52kg/mm yes 1200 lb/in = 18.90 kg/mm
  18. Rear shock 13 May 2011 12:06 that's a pretty clever trick doing that. Yea, Rossi's bike does the same; 1 comp and the other rebound.
  19. Rear shock 12 May 2011 12:36 all good info; I'm about the same weight as solomoto, so his settings should be close for me. What does Lindemann do to the forks? Is it a cartridge kit like the Ohlins? Because stock there are no compression damping…
  20. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 11 May 2011 16:28 Bazzaz end of May FI October z bomb derestrictor
  21. Who hates their seat 9 May 2011 00:15 I like the stock seat; it's firm but that's ok with me. :beatdeadhorse:
  22. Rear shock 8 May 2011 12:25 Thanks for the replies; this gives us a starting database for spring rates for the VFR1200. I'm 165 w/o gear so I think the stock spring rate is about right for solo riding w/o luggage. I'm sure an Ohlins or Penske…
  23. VFR1200 6 May 2011 02:34 ordered from sell.com $30 shipped. fast shipping and nice manual. No complaints. Edited July 20, 2011 by Alang
  24. Rear shock 30 Apr 2011 12:30 900 lb/in is 16.1kg/mm that seems very stiff, and a big jump to 1200 lb/in, which is 21.5kg/mm I think a 2008 CBR1000 uses around a 10 or 12 kg/mm spring. Of course that is a lot lighter bike, and maybe the linkage…
  25. VFR1200 30 Apr 2011 02:27 Best place to buy the service manual? I don't have a paypal account... Thanks
  26. Rear shock 30 Apr 2011 01:48 Anyone know the stock spring rate?
  27. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 19 Apr 2011 19:10 talked to bazzaz just now; pretty soon they said
  28. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 15 Apr 2011 01:39 Hoping to see the Bazzaz dyno chart!
  29. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 8 Apr 2011 12:09 any update on Bazzaz products for the VFR1200? Nothing on their website yet.
  30. 1st new set of tires 31 Mar 2011 23:34 600lb not 700lb bike
  31. VFR1200 engine tear-down 24 Mar 2011 23:28 [image: View Post]phobe, on 24 March 2011 - 06:03 PM, said: I came across this on another board. It originates from a Dutch moto mag. I think it's from a 40000Km "torture test". The cylinders and piston skirts look to…
  32. Dropped my VFR1200F off at Zero Gravity today 10 Mar 2011 23:33 thanks spider
  33. Bazzaz needs a VFR1200 for product development 5 Mar 2011 14:47 probably need the PAIR removed for the auto tune [image: View Post]ZenMoto, on 05 March 2011 - 03:55 AM, said: Time for another brief update. ...no, my bike isn't done yet. But, they've confirmed that they've sorted out…
  34. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 25 Feb 2011 21:54 I'm a structural engineer :(, not electrical. But I do know V = I*R :)
  35. The Lazy Windscreen Removal method 24 Feb 2011 14:36 paul thompson Excellent guide. Thanks for that. I like the look of the Puig screen too. Thank you very much, I was curious how to do it; I may get a zero gravity taller screen soon.
  36. How many miles did you get on your oem vfr12000 tire? 20 Feb 2011 14:02 wouldn't the 2ct be better than the standard pilot power?
  37. Bazzaz needs a VFR1200 for product development 16 Feb 2011 17:33 Thanks Zen, let's hope for a non detuned 1st and 2nd gear, deletion of the top speed limiter, and an auto-tune to go with the FI mapping system. [image: View Post]ZenMoto, on 16 February 2011 - 12:22 PM, said: [image:…
  38. Power Commander 14 Feb 2011 00:55 Chris Kelly at Dynojet told me you need to disable or remove the PAIR system for the autotune to work correctly.
  39. Power Commander 12 Feb 2011 14:32 Having problems trying to download the PC software and maps. I'm curious to see what the maps look like; to see what they changed from the zero map. EDIT: got it done. Looks like with a slip on they richen the mixture…

  42. Aftermarket vfr1200 slipons 26 Jan 2011 02:17 Just installed the Leo Vince w/o the db killer. Sounds good, maybe ride tomorrow and see if it runs better. Nice quality parts. Maybe 7 pounds lighter than stock; going to weigh the stock muffler and verify what the…
  43. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 21 Jan 2011 20:53 VFRider Giving this some additional thought, whoever makes these ECU connectors for Honda isnt about to give us a few.. As far as these being replicated on the aftermarket..I just don't think so..... with that being…
  44. Aftermarket vfr1200 slipons 21 Jan 2011 20:41 Glad to hear you like it. I have a dyno chart for the Leo; adds around 9hp on top, around 5hp at 6000rpm
  45. Aftermarket vfr1200 slipons 21 Jan 2011 00:35 [image: View Post]HispanicSlammer, on 20 January 2011 - 12:05 AM, said: Leo Vince do have a db killer insert yes. I did not have it installed, there is no throttle valve either so I removed the cable. Thanks Miguel!…
  46. Aftermarket vfr1200 slipons 20 Jan 2011 04:11 Does the Leo Vince come with an db killer insert? Do you remove the flapper cable with the slip-on? Thanks [image: View Post]HispanicSlammer, on 19 January 2011 - 08:22 PM, said: [image: View Post]Tamworth, on 19…
  47. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 17 Jan 2011 14:36 see this link: http://www.bikebandit.com/houseofmotorcycles/2010-honda-vfr1200f/o/m19229#sch657650 Can you tell me which parts are needed Dutch? Thanks
  48. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 16 Jan 2011 14:12 Larry, Phobe, any way to get the correct connectors? Thanks
  49. How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear 15 Jan 2011 23:56 Any updates on this? I'm a structural engineer, but not too electrically inclined. And would prefer a plug and play w/o splicng any wires. Like the O2 manipulators I used on my Ducati. You could remove them in the…
  50. Aftermarket vfr1200 slipons 15 Jan 2011 14:44 Was the last run without the db killer? Or does it even come with that option... The first run with the Leo sounded pretty quiet. [image: View Post]HispanicSlammer, on 14 January 2011 - 08:00 PM, said: I got a great…
