All 28- 2014 Updates For The 1200F? I know it's not going to happen, it's very likely that Honda will kill the 1200 in a few years but you never know. I don't believe that. They are using the same engine in other bikes so it makes no sense to drop the…
- 2014 Updates For The 1200F? Kawasaki fixed a bunch customer complaints on the C14 after 2 model years. Same thing on the Ninja 1000 after 3yrs. How hard is it for Honda to do the same? I don't see that there is so many things to be fixed and I…
- Rear Preload Adjuster Stiff / Frozen Up Change to this: http://www.ohlins.co...Touring/HO-013/ . Solved my problems.
- Can Someone Please Confirm The Gearing Issue On The 2012 Vfr? I think this a non-issue. The only time you can maybe notice this is when you open up the throttle totally on very low rpm. I don't see any reason why to do that. Take a test and you can see.
- Oil Change Maybe Honda thinks that it is a safer place to put the blug there. I also got the oil everywhere but now I've learned. I didn't even remove the lower cowling last time I changed.
- Ohlins Spring Rates "Also, the stock sag was 48mm (for my weight), the internal preload was adjusted to give 40mm sag. Since this raised the front end ride height by 8mm compared to stock, I raised the fork stanchions by 8mm to restore the…
- Ohlins Spring Rates So the saga continues.... I went into Evolution Motorcycles in San Jose ( http://www.evolution-motorcycles.com/ ) on Friday to discuss fork upgrades. They have a good reputation for suspension work but I personally…

- 2012 VFR1200 not available in Australia yet! [image: View Post]vfrflanders, on 20 October 2012 - 07:44 PM, said: I wonder what makes motorcycles so expensive in Australia. I my country (Belgium - Europe) we pay 14990€ for a 2012 model, but this includes 21% VAT…
- 2012 VFR1200 not available in Australia yet! I am not a big VFR fanatic. I just think that VFR1200 is the best sprort touring bike I have ever ridden. I tried BMW K1300ST before I bought the VFR. It was very nice when the speed was over 100 km/h. Below that it was…

- Powercommander for VFR1200f I don't know if you have noticed but Dynojet has two new maps on their website for VFR1200. The new ones are: "16-020-502 European model Akrapovic slip-on exhaust - no baffle Stock air filter Dynojet O2 eliminators…

- Ordered my Bazzaz Z-Bomb today! GuitarX Jussi Is there on/off switch in it? Hi Jussi, they do not have an on/off switch. Not sure why you'd want to turn it off though...? Why; With Z-Bomb your gears will show 3-3-3-4-5-6. It would be nice to turn it…
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear BigLew I hope this is the right place for this. I called Bazzaz today, ref Z-Bomb. Connection supplier says delivery is scheduled for the 13th. I'm waiting on the call next week to confirm and place my order. With a DCT…
- How to remove power limitations 1st and 2nd gear Reading this I was wondering if they already had some changes done in the ECU update (that is available at least in Europe). I mean getting rid of the limitations in 1st/2nd gear. I have the update done but since it is…

- Where the VFR1200 is made? My serial number is 5015. Quite a lot they are making as it is year 2010.
- Where the VFR1200 is made? Anybody know in which Honda factory they make the VFR1200? Just out of general interest.

- Honda unveils updated veefalo at EICMA I wonder what that "different mappings that gives it more torque in the 2k-4K rpm range" means in real life. If it is just an ECU update there is nothing new. If it is something else then I would like to have it on my…
- 1st & 2nd fix..... This ECUnleashed sounds interesting. I did a little research in web and it seems to cure all the problems and do all nice things. It would be nice to hear from somebody who has done it to VFR1200 and what are the…
- Power Commander issue? This is good post. I have to check the calibration also and see if the numbers are correct. Is the calibration an issue normally if everything seems to be running ok? I mean the installation manual says nothing that you…
- Sales Success of 7th Gen In Finland they sold a lot VFR1200's last year but not so much this year (said the local dealer). That is because they increased the price which was a bad move. I'm glad that it was not selling very good this summer as…
- OEM panniers vs. Givi V35 PLX bags I have also V35 side cases and the 43 litre backcase. All this with SWMotech removable racks. What I noticed though is that when you install the back rack there is no good handles for the pillion anymore. How have you…
- Givi V35 PLX - what color? I'm sure there is no problems on 100 mph but there are some bikes which may start to wobble at 120-140 mph if there are problems with luggage etc. Of course you can not drive like that anywhere but on German highways…
- Givi V35 PLX - what color? Have any of you been riding hard with the Givi -setup?. I have the Givi's from my earlier bike and I should buy the SwMotech -parts to fit my new VFR1200. There are some people that say that you should buy OEM bags to…
