All 26- How Many 5Th Genners Bought Theirs Brand New? 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…
- Daugherty Vs Penske Vs Ohlins 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.…
- 2014 Vfr Poll 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…
- The Ultimate Vfr 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…
- 2014 Vfr Poll Let you voice be heard...
- Coolant Gauge Wildly Fluctuating. 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.
- Coolant Gauge Wildly Fluctuating. bump
- Coolant Gauge Wildly Fluctuating. 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…
- Clutch Rebuild Kit 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…
- Cheap And Easy Suspension Upgrade? 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…
- 5Th Gen - Where To Mount Gipro X-Type Gear Indicator This is the cleanest insall that I have ever seen. http://www.vfrdiscus.../67804-my-dash/
- 25 bikes 2 riders 9 wheels [image: gold-national-park-teton-historic-grand-142776.jpg] This trip would make a great road movie! I would suggest that you cross into Wyoming south of Jackson and ride North through Jackson Hole and Teton National…
- Emancipation! Rior Grrrl is The Queen of Awesomeness!!!!
- Photo of Your Bicycle and VFR Stuck in the 90's.... My 98 Honda VFR with my 96 Schwinn Homegrown Mountain bike. My 4 yr old is learning to ride the black 97 Dyno VFR. My 5 yr old rides the 95 chrome Dyno VFR. I think that the chrome bike may be the…
- Build or buy? This one has all the goodies including an upgraded suspension! http://sfbay.craigsl...3243697863.html
- Build or buy? 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…
- 5th Gen OEM footpegs or aftermarket? 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…
- 5th gen adjustable RearSets 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]…
- Went riding today, our friend Bill went down. Prayers needed. Get well soon Bill. 72 year old disabled veteran with a bad back and still on a VFR! You are an inspiration!!
- Motorcycle GPS 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…
- My dash Very nice work. Does anyone what happened to Throttlepimp? No activity since August and the web link on his profile does not work. I would like to order some of those face plates. :tour:
- Bullsh***er's at work....post your snappy retorts. Here are some good questions for a Busa owner: How many miles did you ride last weekend? How much did your N2O cost you? So how long is your swing arm? Who does your chrome work? So how did you lower the bike so much?…
- Opinions needed on brake pads and chain lube. Hi all, I have recently purchased an eight spoke wheel and I think that I may have my wheels powdercoated bright metallic sliver. What I'm looking for are opinions-suggestions for new brake pads and a good chain lube…
- VF1000R wheel weight Dude... Your 85 VF1000R is the sexiest bike that I have ever seen on this or any other forum! Awesome work! :cool: Edited November 9, 2011 by zon
