All 43- Joint Relief About the time I was starting to have hip and knee discomfort on the VFR, I happened to buy a Ducati 748. The 748 is very cramped, but I enjoyed riding it so much I was commuting to work on it for a few months. 110…
- Rough running after storage 7 hours ago, Knight There is the possibility of a bad ground. Are the headlights on during the problem time as they should be? These electrical questions Knight asked made me think it could also be a bad battery. If…
- Slip On ? The stock system on my ZX14 weighs in at 35+ lbs. I just got the Akrapovic Race Titanium and Carbon Fiber 4-into-2-into-1 full system for it and the whole thing including hardware is 8 lbs. Can't wait to get it put on…
- What Chain Lube To Use? 6 hours ago, BusyLittleShop the only worth one can expect is the fact that if you coat the chain in enough oil the running temp is lower where the factory grease has a chance to live longer but oh the price one pays for…
- What Chain Lube To Use? I'm a Scottoiler guy. My first ZX14 had 22k miles on the chain and it still looked new. My VFR has the newer style scottoiler with the handlebar mounted display/controller, and it's worked great. Easier to carry some…
- Rough running after storage I like to run some Chevron Techron fuel additive now and then to keep the injectors clean, you could try that. Also, after my VFR sat for two years I found a mouse nest in the airbox on top of the air filter, so you…
- Thanks All - Enjoyed the stay here at VFRD I don't "move on" to other bikes, I just keep adding... lol It's making the wife crazy! [image: fiona vermont.jpg] [image: IMG_0211.JPG]
- I Know A Guy, Who Paints . . . Instead of giving him that extra $80, you should have used it to buy a camera so you can POST SOME PICS lol
- And, I'm Out. I test rode the TL1000, Triumph Daytona, and Buell White Lightning... ended up with the 101hp buell. It was a fun second bike for a few years, but just a total hooligan. I was getting in too much trouble, so I sold it.…
- Power Commander, Rapid Bike, Bazzaz I had my innovatory cleaned out once... :bliss: I am sure the price drop in the Rapid Bike module 2 is just them clearing out old innovatory.
- Sidi Boot Feedback I've been riding streetbikes since 1983 and was never an ATGATT guy until I got my VFR last year. I would normally wear cowboy boots or combat boots. When I got the VFR it came with a really nice Teknic armored jacket,…
- Rear Wheel Conversion (Car Wheel) Uhmmmm...why go so uber wide with the tire/wheel anyway? I've had this conversion done for almost 3 months now and i dd the bike 5 days a week and i can still scrape pegs and do every thing i normally did with the stock…
- What Bugs Me Most OK, I looked around at the other stuff on the 'Onion' and it's all stupid.... hadn't seen it before...
- What Bugs Me Most This whole article is a waste of space... A real news article would have had the full name of the guy who died, the name of the dealership, the time and date of death, name and company of the 18-wheeler, etc... and…
- How do you clean your wheels? I have white wheels, and they get dirty very quickly - mostly with break dust. I commute about 600 miles per week, and although I should be checking the bike over before every ride... I don't. I clean her up, check tire…
- 15t front sprocket = better mpg??? the 15t cog kept me in the 6000-6700 RPM range while cruising. You 'cruise' pretty fast :tour: I'm at 90-100 mph at that rpm range... just as I hit vtec in 6th gear.
- Best Tires for 6th Gen- Between Michelin Road 3 and Pirelli Angel ST I put PR3's on this spring and have a bit over 8k miles on them now. The front is still good, but the rear is done. I'm ordering a new PR3 rear to get me into next summer. I commute on my VFR about 600 miles per week,…
- The Mother of All Squids - LOL So his Suzuki goes "well in excess of 200 miles per hour" ... yeah, right, so does my VFR... lol
- My rear sets are ruining my boots! @tc339 - what do you mean by "stock rear sets" ? Do you mean your stock footpegs? Maybe I'm wrong, but I always thought that 'rear sets' were added on to move the footpegs and controls farther to the rear of the bike…
- Am I a jerk for not waving at trikes? Wow, I actually created an active thread... cool... lol @Spud786 - "Everyone has their peeves" It's not really a peeve, it's just that I have so much going on with traffic, speed traps, coal trucks, bad road conditions,…
- Am I a jerk for not waving at trikes? I always wave at other motorcyclists, whether they are on a sport bike, cruiser, touring bike, etc. In the past few years there has been a large increase in the number of 'trikes', either conversion or a Can Am style. I…
- I knew a guy who crashed blah blah blah! I've worked in hospitals since 1984 and there have been countless encounters with people at work and their blah, blah, blah stories and criticizms... How I address it depends upon my mood at the time. I used to try to…
- Toggle switch install with no drilling through fairing I also wanted a way to install my grip heater switch without drilling and found it fit perfectly in the steering column. That looked great, so I did the same thing on my bike and love it. Thanks!
- Motorcycle Lift Recommendations other than Harbor Freight dgordon Aegis, is the chock that you got with yours the one listed on the HF site = part # 96340? If so, it works well and does not scratch the VFR rims, rotors etc? Sorry, I've been too busy riding to check the forum…
- Which heated grips for VFR? My friend highly recommended the Dual Star kit. So after trying almost all winter to get them to answer their phone, I finally gave up on Dual Star. I did some google searches of 'dual star no answer' and 'dual star…
- Quick Shifter for Power Commander I've done the 'flashing the clutch' shifting before and it does work but it can smoke your clutch and fouls your oil. The difference is that when you flash the clutch at full throttle and high RPM you're punishing the…
- Quick Shifter for Power Commander Gave the quickshifter a good test this weekend. For performance it's nice to have full throttle clutchless shifts that only take 250 milliseconds each :) The other benefit that I found is when carrying a passenger and…
- A&A PAIR block off plates special run I installed mine over the weekend. My reed screws also wouldn't back out. I used the cut-off wheel on my dremel to cut the threads off flush with the plate, then the shortened screw was easy to screw out. Nice mod.
- A&A PAIR block off plates special run I called A&A and talked to Dan's dad and he told me they still had a few PAIR kits. I stopped in at A&A yesterday and picked up my set. I also got a tour of the place and a look at all the supercharger kit parts... wow…
- Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 I just put Michelin Pilot Road 3 tires on and they are great. Too bad they aren't a choice on the tire survey...
- Toggle switch install with no drilling through fairing I found a nice handlebar mounted toggle that would work for the PCV. I was going to get this for switching my maps, but I got the pushbutton for the quickshift feature instead. I'm mounting a toggle under the seat near…
- Quick Shifter for Power Commander OK, I got my Power Commander V installed and everything set up. I installed the handlebar switch and it works great! If you have a PCV and want a cheap way to play with the Quick Shift feature this switch is a good way…
- A&A PAIR block off plates special run By the time I noticed this thread it was too late to get in on the special run... any chance that there may be more made? I'm sure that at least 10 more sets would sell if you did another run since it seems like some…
- Motorcycle Lift Recommendations other than Harbor Freight [image: HF stand] I just got the HF lift two weeks ago with the $299 coupon and it's AWESOME compared to working on the ground... I also got the front wheel stand for just $39 and I bolted it to the lift. This really…
- Quick Shifter for Power Commander Ryanme17 I thought the quickshifter was activated by using a pressure switch mounted inside the shift lever mechanism? Having to push a button to quickshift kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? The pressure switch…
- Quick Shifter for Power Commander Has anyone used the Quick Shifter? I'm in the process of installing my new PCV and I became interested in the Quick Shifter ability of the unit. DynoJet sells their handlebar mounted button for aprox. $140, so it's not…
- Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 This Poll needs to be reset and the Pilot Road 3 and other new tires added to the list. I've heard great things about the PR3, so that's what I'm probably ordering. Any suggestions as to where the best deal is?
- Most awesomest VFR EVAH! Well, the absurd overbore has been well covered... but I want to see some pics of the "Ploshed" frame LOL
- Shortening Scorpion mufflers So... what 's outcome? Or waiting util end of winter? This is on my "Winter to-do List" along with new tires, heated grips, rear tire hugger, louder horn, 12v power outlet, Power Commander V, maybe a gearing change, and…
- Introduction, first post, and an autumn ride through Pennnsylvania Nice report and pics... That is a beautiful area this time of year and some nice roads. Rt.44 through the state park is great now, but during the summer there are too many RVs and campers lol. [image: View…
- Shortening Scorpion mufflers Would chopping the pipes short affect exhaust flow/scavenging, as I thought exhaust system designers usually want a bit of volume on their end cans to get best tune out of the engine.. Is there any way you can pull the…

- Shortening Scorpion mufflers I think the shortened ones look better. Is that the proper Scorpion application or are these a retrofit? Seriously.... I would be surprised if they were made for this bike and that is the best they could come up with.…
