All 33- Seat Upgrade Or Luggage Grayv3 Get the luggage & send the seat out to be modded. Agreed. Personally I would spend the cash on the luggage you want. I just had my stock seat modded by Spencer Seat Mods and it turned out great. I had him add the…
- Engine vibration - diagnosis? The chain and sprockets are in good shape and chain slack is within spec. I have done exactly what you describe and the vibration was definitely engine and not chain/wheels. This past weekend I performed the starter…
- '93 muffler fell off, can I leave it off? On a carbureted engine, the amount of intake/exhaust flow in conjunction with the jet size determines how rich/lean an engine runs. If the carbs are tuned for a a muffler (more restrictive) and then the muffler is…
- Engine vibration - diagnosis? I've been enjoying my 2000 VFR800 immensely since I got it this past winter.....put a couple thousand miles on it already due to the warm winter and unusually warm spring. Overall the bike runs great, gets great gas…
- Pretty Cool Hey Higgin. Yes, a ride down South would be great. I'm in. The trailer was from Harbor Freight tools. There are 3 or 4 different models that they have....this is the 900ish lb weight limit 4x8 with 8" wheels. It folds…

- Pretty Cool LOL!!! That's ME!!!! I went down to Deals gap last wknd for the 10th annual "MINI's on the Dragon" event. There were 700ish MINIs there this year. I usually meet up with my friend from Nashville, TN....this year I was…
- Old school stickers on 5th Gen That looks fantastic. Very slick. Love the retro decals. "Gear Driven Cams"....makes the onlookers know exactly what they are hearing. :smile:
- '99 with Stickers Stripped and Y2K Mirrors Looks great! Nice and clean.
- What adventures are you planning this year The first wknd in May I'm making my annual pilgrimage to the Deals Gap area for the 10th annual "MINIs on the Dragon". This year, the VFR goes with me, so I'll enjoy the twisties twice as much. :smile: [image: Posted…

- '00 VFR with characteristics of a '99 Lucky you!....you have the "choke" control and don't have the stupid Wax Idle unit to get fouled up...wish mine had that lever! : ) I think this is fairly common on Hondas as they change from one model year/update to…

- Brake Bleeding Problems - Soft Front Lever Well, I just had a major bout with my brakes in the last couple of weeks....so this is fresh in my mind. :smile: Granted, I don't have ABS, but the procedure is the same and I had the same issues. I had a hell of a time…
- About time I did something.. Well, you all inspired me to chop my fender tonight. It was an unusually nice 70 degree F winter day in Indiana today, so I rode around to get the stuff I needed. I picked up a black painted plate frame, some stainless…
- New to Me 1999 VFR800 - and yes, it is red, of course. Picking it up next weekend. 19,000 miles and in excellent condition. This will be my 3rd VFR and 1st Gen 5. I've owned two Gen 4's in the past. First thing to go will be the stickers, then the condom mirrors. Great…

- Linked Brakes issue O.K.....new issue discovered. As mentioned above, I changed the brake fluid and bled the brakes earlier this week. It appears that the brakes are dragging pretty badly.....and were before the bleed as well. The brake…

- Linked Brakes issue IndyFour, how long did it take you bleed them out and did you have any help? I plan on changing over to SS brakelines in a few weeks and was considering doing it myself, but with limited work space and the fact that I…
- New (to me) 2000 Yellow VFR Oh, disregard the brake issue. Got help on another thread. Didn't realize the bike had to be rolling to activate the linked brakes. Oops.
- Linked Brakes issue Ah, that sheds light on it. Thanks so much for the help. Didn't realize the front wheel had to spin. I do have the manual, but it's in .pdf and I have been just printing out the pages I need.....didn't see that part.…
- Linked Brakes issue I recently acquired a 2000 VFR800FI and have been going through the bike doing maintenance and correcting minor issues. I spent a few hours working on the brakes last night....replacing the fluid and bleeding. Following…
- New (to me) 2000 Yellow VFR Well it appears that the Toolkit is MIA. Oh well, guess I'll put that on the search list. Are there any model-specific tools in there that I need or will a generic tool kit do? I spent the entire evening changing the…
- New (to me) 2000 Yellow VFR Well, today I drained and replaced the coolant, replaced and bled the clutch fluid, and topped off the battery with some distilled water. Will have to do the brakes another day. So do you think the clutch fluid change…

- New (to me) 2000 Yellow VFR Thanks guys. Yeah, i'm very excited. Can't wait to get out on the road for a shakedown. Has to be a bit warmer than 20 degrees F for me to get out on the bike, though. :smile: This past fall I did a group ride through…
- New (to me) 2000 Yellow VFR Well, earlier this week I sold my '87 VFR700 to a friend. Loved that bike, but just couldn't get comfortable on it. I've been thinking about getting into a newer VFR for a while....something fuel injected and perhaps…
