  1. 4Th Annual Hog Tie - Sep 25-27 25 Sep 2015 12:53 Imma comin! Taking off and heading straight to 341. Hoping to meet you guys there.
  2. Hog Tie '15 Tee Shirts 24 Jul 2015 03:05 Sounds alot like something I said once...
  3. 4Th Annual Hog Tie - Sep 25-27 22 Apr 2015 00:25 Can I bring this? [image: 944%201_zpsolazdu7q.jpg]
  4. Strange Bleep Sound From Front End - Progress... 5 Feb 2015 21:48 That's the flapper, bro. Go in, remove all things flapper, then it will be gone. The air box is very noisy on the 6th gen, but I am 100% sure that is the flapper "gulping". Once I removed the valve, lines, yada yada the…
  5. Before You Go Get That Next Rocket Ship... 5 Feb 2015 19:50 Ironic how he states twice that 600s can pretty much go just as fast as literbikes, yet he singles out only literbikes as being too fast. However, if I were to get a literbike to keep, it would be a twin, so I could…
  6. Whats This Wheel Off? 11 Jan 2015 15:07 Those who don't go on VFRW just recently missed the "Sunofwolf" era. Those who know, know. Those who don't, consider yourselves lucky.
  7. "winter Is Here" ... 'oil Question" 11 Jan 2015 15:04 94-97 VFR's run very cool, and the temp gauges are pessimistic. I replaced my thermostat when I first got my 95, but to my dismay, found that the temp needle didn't do anything different than before. Feel the hoses that…
  8. Center Stand Or Pitbull? 6 Jan 2015 15:12 It's a matter of geometry and weight distribution. Side stand is more stable.
  9. Center Stand Or Pitbull? 5 Jan 2015 22:45 Honestly, I use both. I considered taking off my center stand, but it has many uses. Weight is a non-issue, it's so low you wont ever notice a difference. It makes the bike 'slimmer' for the garage, and makes…
  10. Exhaust Modification-muffler Bypass: Pics Added 31 Dec 2014 13:52 It was a tight fit (giggity), I had to force the inner one in. Try different brands. Just know when you find one that fits, your about 5 mins from glory. Giggity.
  11. Oil Change Interval...8K? 31 Dec 2014 00:40 You don't remove any panels on the 6th gen to do an oil change? THIS I MUST hear more about. I take off the entire left side (easy) and that little triangular painted left corner dash piece (PITA). Break it down for me,…
  12. Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? 26 Dec 2014 14:59 'sorry' has negative connotations when used in conversation, especially during a sale, or in this case a very important interwebz disagreement. 'i apologize' does not brood negativity, and should be used in sensitive…
  13. Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? 23 Dec 2014 21:59 I traded a 4th gen for a cbr900, no comparison. The cbr is featherweight by comparison. Also handles better and power is much better. The old 919 engine is bulletproof and torquey to boot.
  14. Exhaust Modification-muffler Bypass: Pics Added 17 Dec 2014 17:11 Loosen and lower/remove exhaust. Remove heat shields. Put larger holesaw around outer tips and drill circle around them. Take smaller holesaw and fit it between the two tips. Drill until outer tip is removeable. Install…
  15. Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. 14 Nov 2014 23:15 Go to Wal-Mart for your oil related needs. Oil is always about 30% cheaper, and purolator filters are $3. It's just the sad truth.
  16. Best 8Th Gen Vfr Review Ever - Hell No, Best Bike Review Ever 2 Nov 2014 02:48 The Aussies know how to do bike reviews. Gizmag has Loz, one of my favorite rider/reviewers, and possibly some of the best bike reviews on YouTube. Too bad, though, there aren't too many videos.
  17. Caption "insert Here" 15 Oct 2014 10:34 "Well I'll be...they are brass."
  18. Exhaust Ideas For My Rwb Vtec 6 Oct 2014 03:01 I gutted my stock exhaust, but not as a means to an end. I still plan on getting an aftermarket kit--holding out for Leo Vince that was offered possibly. Partial gutted stock exhaust does sound quite good, however, and…
  19. Change Oil Before, Or After Winter? 29 Sep 2014 02:40 Dirty oil is acidic, best to change it. No need to change again until you hit your mileage limit/next winter.
  20. Ethanol Free Gas Is Magic! 23 Sep 2014 18:31 In my 94, I've never noticed any discernable difference in power/mpg between pure and e10. And the pure gas pumps had their own nozzle. Might try it in the 07, but not expecting much difference, besides paying 25 cents…
  21. Oil Cooler Upgrade. Effectiveness Q's 20 Sep 2014 16:48 Do you know how warm it runs when operating? Does the fan kick on? Thermostat work? I ask this because oil in a water-cooled engine is not so much a player on temp control as an air/oil cooled one, and the front-mounted…
  22. Replacement Horn 18 Sep 2014 05:38 When a car is merging into your lane and about to run you off the road? Middle finger not effective. Stock horn is barely noticeable at highway speeds, much less a silent hand.
  23. Replacement Horn 18 Sep 2014 02:15 I'm considering upgrading the horn on my bike too (6th Gen) and I'm a little confused mostly due to lack of experience. I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to my hands. I know electronics, but always scared I'm going to…
  24. '97 Can I Lower By Rotating Triangle Plates? 12 Sep 2014 01:35 I am fairly certain the 4th gens are designed to work just in one way, otherwise it will hit the swingarm/not align. The 5th/6th gens have a more triangled layout that can be flipped. You will have to go aftermarket.
  25. Is A Hot Frame Normal? 19 Aug 2014 22:45 Yes the frame get real hot. Did on my 4th gen, and my 6th is hot as well. Like, don't touch hot.
  26. Where To Purchase Chain Adjustment Spanner Wrench 19 Aug 2014 19:20 Google search next time, don't use the forum's search engine. Partzilla, BikeBandit, Mason City Honda, etc...
  27. Techspec Tank Grips On 02+ Vfr800 15 Aug 2014 19:22 They only state they work on the 5th gen, but they looked very good on my 4th gen as well. Now they are on my 6th and yes, it's not perfect, but still looks operator.
  28. Exhaust Modification-muffler Bypass: Pics Added 13 Aug 2014 00:12 I did this type of mod and I love the sound. It's reminiscent of a v8 though flowmasters, since its chambered after all. It also drones a little and sounds better at certain rpms...like flows. I seriously think it…
  29. New Red Led Tail Lights... Ya Gotta Be Blind Not To See Me Stopping 1 Aug 2014 04:44 They are plug and play, just make sure you test out LEDs before you put everything back together, as they are picky about their orientation in the socket. Sometimes you have to unplug and 180* before it works.
  30. Cbr 650F Could This Be The Next Sport Tourer For Honda? Or The Perfect Bike? 21 Jul 2014 22:04 theelf could this be the perfect bike? Haha. Hahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You said perfect bike. Lolz.
  31. 2007 Vfr800 Delkevic 11 Jul 2014 03:12 My tiff with Delkevic is that their exhaust looks weird with the lines of the tail. I emailed them, and asked if they could make the slip-on with the tri-ovals, and they said their tri-ovals are too long and would stick…
  32. How To Wheelie Vfr 800 11 Jul 2014 03:04 Pulled an accidental power wheelie while coming onto a military installation, right inside the gate. Crossed VTEC, gave her the schtick, and pulled a 1-2 foot wheelie in front of a line of cars. I B-lined it to work,…
  33. Replacement Horn 17 Jun 2014 01:28 Just bought mine for $10--he accepted my offer. I like that feature.
  34. Hog Tie Attendance List 15 Jun 2014 22:30 Yokel Just quote and fill in your name below- 1) Yokel 2)this guy 3) Sent from my fancy telly.
  35. Hard Time Finding Slip On 25 Apr 2014 17:40 Dude, there are slip ons all over ebay and just do a search on exhaust manufacturers and visit all their sites, almost all of them make a system for the 6th gen. BTW, I think the FMF system is awesome for the 6th…
  36. Best Commuting/touring Tires? 24 Apr 2014 21:14 Those q2s look like they have a couple thousand left in them, how much you planning on riding before then? Mine lasted 4.5k miles and still had more life but the front started to cup Sent from my fancy telly.
  37. Best Commuting/touring Tires? 24 Apr 2014 00:44 Continental Contimotions have been great for the price. I have over 4k on them and they still look great, with no square-ing off. They aren't the stickiest tires but Ive gone edge to edge without any problems. One of…
  38. Tank Wobbles On 94 Vfr 750 23 Apr 2014 02:27 Yes, mine has 2 as well. The tank needs them to stay still. A parts fiche would probably have them. Check the rollers too on the front side of the tank, they don't always like to stay in place during install and could…
  39. 3Rd Annual Hog Tie 2014 Event Thread - September 12 - 14, 2014 8 Apr 2014 01:59 Rush2112 You mean you didnt turn around and do 123 again the first time? No, it was on Saturday when I still had to make a 2.5 hr ride home and I was beat from hanging off like a monkey all day, and didn't want to hit…
  40. Wow, It Felt Nice To Get Out! 7 Apr 2014 01:29 [image: 48214608.jpg] Just jokin, I took my first long ride this weekend and it was great. Good to be back, America.

  42. Spark Plugs 22 Mar 2014 20:58 Ok guys thanks. I'll leave these for the winter and order a new set. Damn expensive plugs though. $120 for a set of 4 is a little too much. I hope they fix the mpg issue. Uhh....NGK? I would never, in my entire…
  43. Coolant Type 15 Mar 2014 17:58 Anything that is aluminum safe.

  47. Re-Locating To Co. Springs 20 Nov 2013 00:32 You turkey. Now who's gonna put together the Arkanoid rally?
  48. When Butt And Asphalt Meet.. 9 Nov 2013 02:23 If she doesn't have insurance then your not getting any money unless your policy covers it. If you don't have it already, you should get an uninsured/under-insured policy to cover situations like this. Here in Arkansas…
  49. Concept Naked Bike Vfr800 Vtec-- Did You See It? 9 Nov 2013 00:12 There was a thread about this like a month ago...
  50. Hog Tie Duration (2014) 5 Oct 2013 16:54 I got a free one night stay for next time. JEALOUS MUCH? How come every time I show up to the hub I get free handouts? I'll prob do Wed-Sat. The leather pajamas hang in wait.
