All 43- Ride Like Your Invisible Proof that if you ride a bike you are invisible if you ride even if you are a cop. Link This video has been up for a while. It just came to me today that she was unaware that a cop was sitting beside her. How did she…
- How Do You Use Your Dct? I live north of Fayettenam. Traffic here is terrible. Before I lost my DCT to a blind cager, I rode in traffic in manual. It kept me in the power range at all times. It saved me quite a few times. When you are door high…
- How Do You Use Your Dct? Fast takeoffs be in manual from sport, front brake rev but don't move. Pin the throttle and somewhere before 10,000 RPM hit the manual to put it in sport. Shifts at 10,000 every shift till you let off. Down shift in…
- Tire Thickness When Showing Cord Poll
- Tire Thickness When Showing Cord gloryracing OK let me expand. I check air pressure and closely inspect tires, and lookover the bike, before EVERY ride. I live in the heart of premiere twisties and ride pretty hard, and usually two up. Mileage from…
- Tire Thickness When Showing Cord I work at Goodyear (they own Dunlop) and the construction of the tire requires several different compounds of rubber. The innerliner is the softest, the tread is almost the hardest. The bead actually uses the hardest…
- Forums :mad: :laughing6-hehe: Must be taken in the intent given. I love all of them. But to emphasize my point. I thought the gens were tied to engine models. This makes the 1200 the seventh and the 2014 800 still the sixth…
- Forums Its a warmed over 6th gen. I call it a step backwards for Honda. Who says they don't listen to their customers. Its all those whiny vetec owners that made Honda placate them with this microwaved 6th gen. Before every…
- That Was Close... Caught On Tape. Arrange the next meeting with a nice big ol truck. But this is really your fault. You have met the enemy 3 times and still he breathes. A pistol will kill a deer.
- Best Time To Check Tire Pressure I had the orange electric m202 tire pressure monitor on my bike. I luved it.
- Helmet Light Your an dumb butt for carrying a light everywhere, that is until the lights go out.
- Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? My one regret so far is the cage that turned left into my path. It totaled my bike. I prided myself on being on constant alert for just shenanigans. My vigilence was not rewarded. Actually it was in the myriad of…
- ATGATT????? Recent personal experience says to gear up. 11-27-12 started 8 mile trip to work. It was a little cool so decided to wear work pants and the trip home would have been warm so I left off the kevlar jeans. About half way…
- Spark Plug Question (Very Specific!) The heat is in the color. Too hot and the plugs will start to get chalky colored. A good heat range will be a light tan in color. A cooler plug might run a little darker. If the old plugs are in a lighter color then…
- 8th Gen? RC213V slated for production in 2014 The 1200 could be the base engine with the rumored dohc heads. The 1200 is supposed to be smaller and lighter than the 800 vtec. However with dohc it might not be smaller anymore. Just thinking.

- Looking at a new 1200 DCT, Got ?'s The 2012 also has traction control where the 10 has a pretty deep hole in first and second that disappears above 5000rpm. Both have pretty much the same effect of not letting you get squirrelley at low speeds. The 2012…

- Looking at a new 1200 DCT, Got ?'s I love my DCT. Lately I've been using the manual shift lately. It shifrs perfectly and when I want. Get aggressive with the downshift and it rp matches for you. Stick it in D and cruise forever. Getting ready to pass…
- Dreaded Honda Clips Push in to pull out. Pull out to push in. Well you actually push out from the back to push in, but that ain't near as cool.

- Talk me into a VFR.... I think the knee angle will be pretty severe. Go here: Ergos You can compare other bikes to your fzr. Just keep adding bikes and use the mouse wheel to cyclle between them.

- Problems installing Heli Bars Please help. I don't know if it was just me but after using the holes they provide the rotation of the controls feels better. When switching from D to S (or vice versa) it would always cause me to either let off or gas the throttle…
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. just finished a helibar install on my dct. The throttle cables caused me a problem. After full lock a couple of times the cables would work against the center of the frame. It caused the cables to loop after side to…

- The Ideal Honda VFR DCT As a DCT owner I got the survey. Everything I suggested was on the 2012 model, I think. I asked for a little more revs in drive mode. And the big one traction control instead of the restricted first and second gear.…
- Voltmeter The reason to not wire directly to the battery is to protect the bike. If you have a short on the positive side then you have a very good heater element. As in a fire will most probably ensue. Look at something fused.…

- Thats it for me boys and girls ! Recently I was going to work, 5:30 in the morning so it was dark and people see my headlight. An suv runs a stop sign and pulls into the slow lane of a 4 lane highway with a huge paved median. I was ready for people who…
- 1st day ride on the new VFR As far as mileage you can check fuelly for this: vfr1200 mileage I have got over 40mpg on occasion. My short commutes really eat the mileage. I think the warm up eats up the gas. On longer rides the mileage gets much…
- Stop at all intersections I have developed a fool proof way of not coasting through stops. I don't look to either side until I come to a complete stop. That doesn't mean I am not aware as I pull up to a stop sign. I am aware of traffic as I pull…
