  1. Cbr 650F Could This Be The Next Sport Tourer For Honda? Or The Perfect Bike? 22 Jul 2014 00:37 I sure like that color.
  2. Need ideas how to jazz up this 2008 vfr 23 Apr 2014 00:25 I have the same color. I could not decide which direction to go, either but my wife talked me out of red accents. I ended up putting black levers on it and I painted the two muffler guards, the muffler end caps and the…
  3. 6Th Gen Getting ~30Mpg...? 13 Apr 2014 12:36 I have not checked this thread since you posted this update. Is it still running well? Have you measured your mpg?
  4. New Yuasa Ytz14S Batteries On Ebay: $60 Plus Shipping 1 Apr 2014 00:31 Received mine today. Looks like it is still in the original packaging. Popped it on a 1 amp charger to top it off. That only took about 30 minutes. Put it in the bike and it cranked over faster than it ever has. I am…
  5. Need Some Experienced Answers 11 Mar 2014 10:04 Hope it works out. Let me know if it does not and I will dig out my clip ons.
  6. Need Some Experienced Answers 1 Mar 2014 12:10 I can send you my stock clip ons from my 6th gen to try for free. If he likes them, we can figure out a cheap price. If not, keep them for the school and send them back when you find an alternative. They are just…
  7. Bigger Fuel Tank 20 Feb 2014 11:10 lshark i just fill up every time i have to pee....there's no way i'll ever run out of gas As I get older, my prostate is almost always ready for a pit stop before my bike is.
  8. New Cct With Enlarged 2.75Mm Oil Port 15 Jan 2014 03:04 SEBSPEED spud786 The diameter of my Big snake is 13mm, the length though was like 60mm , if it was a 10mm shorter it probably would have worked. Just toolong to make that hard turn "That's what she said" Sorry :goofy:…
  9. Cycle Magazine October 1986 - Nighthawk 700Sc Vs Vfr700 7 Jan 2014 15:16 I would take either, but to my taste, the Nighthawk is the better looking bike.
  10. Is That The Eighth Generation Vfr800F ? 6 Jan 2014 18:40 VFR4Lee I can't be the only one that ever passed by a dead skunk somewhere along the road and said, damn that smells good! :goofy: LOL.
  11. Led Headlight Install - 5Th Gen 5 Jan 2014 13:54 I am curious why you folks have decided to go with LED lights to increase output instead of adding additional lights? Are you looking to lower electrical load? Keep stock look? Bling factor?
  12. Is That The Eighth Generation Vfr800F ? 19 Nov 2013 13:44 CornerCarver Not too skunky though, right? Exactly. Somewhere between the acrid stink of homegrown and the sweet, sweet smell of Bohemian Witch Weed. marriedman I think that is the hippy patchouli you're smelling Nah.…
  13. Is That The Eighth Generation Vfr800F ? 18 Nov 2013 23:58 marriedman I think that is hippie-tized maybe? As in "made to be more hippie like". I knew my exhaust smelled funny. Kind of a sickly sweet smell.
  14. Forums 11 Nov 2013 15:38 Stop complicating things, my psych meds don't allow for such cooler thought processes. The first VTEC was the 6th gen.. Some people contrived the 6.5 gen when Honda made some minor improvements to the wiring harness and…
  15. New Vfr800 Vtec Will Be Introduced At Eicma. 4 Nov 2013 23:23 The CTX1300 and the new cbr1000 are up on the American Honda website.
  16. Instant adventure bike adv tire on a duc 1199 24 Oct 2013 14:14 I like the way it looks. Maybe I am just twisted that way.
  17. Street Fighter Project Diary 16 Jul 2013 04:38 http://www.jegs.com/.../51139/10002/-1 Click for one example of a metal overflow bottle. Could you fab a couple of scoops for the radiators?
  18. Anyone Else Put A Stereo On Their Vfr 14 Jul 2013 08:03 My wing had a stereo when it had the fairing. It was nice when I was off the bike and could listen to music without putting in earphones. When I was riding, I rigged it so I could play it through headphones. The wind…
  19. Street Fighter Project Diary 13 Jul 2013 14:14 You could clean up the right side a bit by getting rid of the evap system.
  20. Another Airbox Mod Thread I Know.......but Whats The Best One To Do,01 Vfr800 13 Jul 2013 00:03 Don't remove it at first. It is much more simple to plug it. Have you ever replaced your airfilter. If so, you can do this. Just life the tank and take a a good look at the bottom of the airbox. Look at the hoses that…
  21. Street Fighter Project Diary 12 Jul 2013 22:36 It looks great naked. EXCEPT - the radiators. Wonder if there's enough room behind the front wheel to put one there in a more conventional position. And how large would it need to be? Does the VFR have two honking…
  22. Another Airbox Mod Thread I Know.......but Whats The Best One To Do,01 Vfr800 12 Jul 2013 22:29 coderighter Now then, the statement below is not a guess or a theory, it's fact. I've actually gotten out a multimeter and seen this with my own eyes, on my bike, which is an '06. The ECU only only operates the solenoid…
  23. Lung Chopping Time 11 Jul 2013 07:53 Hope your recovery is going well. Get better and get riding.
  24. Yet Another Brake Pedal Issue After Bls Block Install. 7 Jul 2013 17:07 I used a round ring like a key ring but smaller to attach my brake light switch to the pedal after I lowered it. With your rear brake dragging, make sure that there is still space between the bottom of the bolt you just…
  25. Brake And Clutch Lines - How To Tell If Your Lines Are Free Of Air Bubbles? 3 Jul 2013 12:14 Beck My trick to getting bubbles out of the lines is after I filled and bled the system as much as I could, I would keep the reservoir cover off and start flicking the brake/clutch lever repeatedly and watch for bubbles…
  26. Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. 3 Jul 2013 12:11 Nice resource. It makes me wonder how many of the filters on the list are made in the same factory of the same materials and have a different label slapped on it.
  27. First Oil Change, And Noticed This 1 Jul 2013 09:13 Don't know about the leak but your evap canister is fine. One nipple does not have a hose. Good luck.
  28. Vfr800 Vs. Tiger 1050 27 Jun 2013 10:21 I can't help you make the decision with any real knowledge, but if I were you, I would go with the Tiger 800. If I was in the market today, I would have a Tiger. My only concern would be managing my lust long enough to…
  29. Clutch And Grab 24 Jun 2013 19:44 I have used the metal cast. Thanks for the heads up.
  30. Clutch And Grab 24 Jun 2013 15:40 What kind of paint did you use? Is it still holding up?
  31. Reprogram Ecu To 2006 Spec Vtec Rpm? 18 Jun 2013 19:42 Isn't the lower vtec kick in point on the 06 and up?
  32. Another Oil Thread...ooooooh Noooooo 11 Jun 2013 18:51 And what is the whitedogbikes blog's authority to know that Rotella is not as good as the expensive stuff?
  33. I Hate Gremlins... Bike Sputtering And Cutting Out 27 May 2013 11:16 The orange connector is under the left side fairing, near the blue connector (maybe even in the same rubber protector)-in front of the radiator, below the frame.. It is not a typical two-sided connector. All the wires…
  34. 10Th Annual Tmac Picture Thread 25 May 2013 10:04 Keep the pictures coming, guys. I could not be there as my youngest is turning 13 today. Can't miss that but I can live vicariously through your pictures.
  35. Fan Control - Choose To Turn Fan On Or Off Or Allow The Bike To Control 11 May 2013 14:52 Cogswell Yes - the fan moves air from the outside of the fairing through to the area in front of the engine. IMO the auto-shutoff at around 30 mph or so would be trick feature and big plus for such a kit. This is…
  36. Fan Control - Choose To Turn Fan On Or Off Or Allow The Bike To Control 11 May 2013 12:49 Am I correct in assuming that the fan pushes against normal airflow, then? I noticed that my fan pushes rather than pulls air. I had wondered if that was normal.
  37. Teknic Out Of Business? 9 May 2013 17:51 I heard the same thing. Don't know if it is true though. I have a pair of their riding pants and I really like them.
  38. Gutted/no Exhaust Tune? 6Th Gen 6 May 2013 23:34 I think the gutted would be roughly equivalent to an aftermarket set of cans, but I can't confirm that. I don't think anyone has made a map for removing the pipe completely.
  39. Gutted/no Exhaust Tune? 6Th Gen 6 May 2013 08:32 Do you have the pair disconnected?
  40. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 7 Apr 2013 23:32 I was at 170 today and it had not started to blink.
  41. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 6 Apr 2013 00:14 I don't recall but I will be doing a long run tomorrow so I should know soon.
  42. Vtec Shock Options 5 Apr 2013 11:27 91talon :bliss: :laughing6-hehe: zRoYz because you have been used to the crap OEM shock which has the dampening quality of a tee shirt on a girl running with DD's is why you feel you may need 2 shocks. That was so…
  43. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 5 Apr 2013 01:07 http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/58258-pair-valve-disabling/?hl=marble
  44. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 3 Apr 2013 23:39 Veefer800Canuck this is a great idea because it is totally reversible, should you ever sell the bike. I agree with the logic of this but I hope I never sell this bike.
  45. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 2 Apr 2013 14:58 I just used a marble in the line between the airbox and the PAIR pump. Kaldek has a post on here with pictures somewhere. I left the parts on the bike so I would not have to put caps over the ends.
  46. Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec 29 Mar 2013 13:05 Rice Thank you for this post 6th gen really needs some additional torque down low. After reading this, I want more torque too :) but I am not a fan of tinkering with fuel maps myself. Would you be willing to share your…
  47. Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec 28 Mar 2013 20:44 Damn, I wish I had nabbed one of those. In particular, I like the idea of more low end torque.
  48. Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? 28 Dec 2012 10:14 edit: every manufacturer has 2-3 year old bikes sitting in the showroom unbought right now. I can head down to the local multi-line euro dealer and have my choice of a brand-new: 2009 RSV1000 Factory, 2008 Guzzi V7…
  49. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 21 Dec 2012 18:43 Kirdro O2 elimination is mandatory with the PCIII, as it takes over the fuel map. The map's probably not the problem either, it's a popular map, and nobody else is reporting mileage like this after using it. Also, I do…
  50. Pair Valve 15 Dec 2012 14:07 That should work. The hose you pulled is the one I put a marble in.
