  1. How Many 5Th Genners Bought Theirs Brand New? 12 Mar 2015 03:51 I purchased my new VFR in March of 1998 and I still enjoy it to this day. It was the first new vehicle, of any kind, that I had ever purchased. Three bikes have come and gone (1984 Yamaha RZ350, 1975 Suzuki GT 380, 1975…
  2. Daugherty Vs Penske Vs Ohlins 6 Sep 2014 23:24 I had JD rebuild my front and VFR rear shock with new springs and Race Tech valves and I'm very happy with the results. The bike performs great and stays planted to the road. It is balanced and set up for my weight.…
  3. 2014 Vfr Poll 22 Aug 2014 13:48 Well, I've seen and sat on the new Interceptor and I really like the look and feel of the new bike but..... I don't think that it is a big enough leap forward for me to purchase it. I have never been a fan of the Vtech…
  4. The Ultimate Vfr 5 Aug 2014 16:37 The new VFR is growing on me and I would move heaven and earth to buy one, if it had just a few more things. I want a 120 hp, gear driven motor with a gp style exhaust to show off the rear wheel and keep the weight…

  6. Coolant Gauge Wildly Fluctuating. 7 Aug 2013 20:00 The gauge will read 195 then 184 then 224 all in a matter of seconds. I owned the bike since new and this is not normal. I have only about 30k miles on the bike, but it is 16 yrs old so some new parts may be needed.

  8. Coolant Gauge Wildly Fluctuating. 6 Aug 2013 14:30 The coolant gauge is fluctuating wildly on my 98 fifth gen. When the bike gets up to temp, 170f to 190f, the readout will start to fluctuate showing temps anywhere from 180f to 240f. I suspect that I may have a stuck…
  9. Clutch Rebuild Kit 21 Apr 2013 17:29 Hi all, Clutch window mod is just around the corner and I was wondering if anyone has any advise about a clutch rebuild kit. Barnett kits are on ebay and I was wondering what other options might be available for a 5th…
  10. Cheap And Easy Suspension Upgrade? 11 Feb 2013 15:15 I would highly recommend the suspension services of Jamie Daugherty. I had him rebuild my stock shock (Gold Tech valves) with a new spring and rebuild my forks (Gold Tech) with new springs for about $650. Yes $650 total…

  16. Build or buy? 5 Sep 2012 13:20 I would recommend using a web site like www.adhuntr.com . This site will allow you to search all of craigslist accross the country. I just found this ad for a 98 VFR in San Fran for $3K with 18k miles and new tires to…
  17. 5th Gen OEM footpegs or aftermarket? 22 Aug 2012 23:59 I have been riding on the stock pegs since new but I have something new in transit from Hong Kong. Here is a recent pic of my 98. I obtained an eight spoke rear wheel last year and I had the wheels powder coated last…
  18. 5th gen adjustable RearSets 11 Jul 2012 16:59 Here is my 2 cents worth. I found these on fleabay. Looks like they would bolt directly to the mounting plate. http://www.ebay.com/...=item3f15a08a3b Attached Images [image: $(KGrHqR,!oIE9c0+bqnnBPdFF,V3og~~60_12.jpg]…

  20. Motorcycle GPS 18 Jun 2012 16:58 Is it really necessary to buy a motorcycle GPS unit? The Garman Nuvi 50LM is on sale at Target this week for $129.99 and I was wondering how well this would work on the bike. I know the waterproof issue, but a water…
