  1. Back to the fold! 9 Dec 2025 20:40 leeo45, 12/8/2025 at 2:36 PM Welcome back Ty! Nice looking bike. Hope it is an easy refurb. I'm still riding my '01 in addition to numerous other bikes, although right now I am in the process of replacing the VFR…
  2. Back to the fold! 8 Dec 2025 17:57 I needed another project like I needed a hole in the head, but I couldn't pass up an opportunity to own another 6th gen. So I did a thing this past weekend and bought a non-runner from a member of VFRd that was posted…
  3. Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread 18 Oct 2015 18:38 What happened to the seat cowl? Mice eat the paint? I'm thinking that's just glare and not damaged paint. To the OP, paint scheme looks great!
  4. So Long Y'all 11 Nov 2011 18:06 Well, at first I had a 2009 Buell 1125R. Loved it. Built a special rack to mount my VFR hard bags to and toured the smokies on the 1125R. I really enjoyed the great suspension and massive torque of the Buell. And then,…
  5. So Long Y'all 7 Nov 2011 18:05 Well, it was with a sad heart that I said "Goodbye" to my beloved 2002 VFR on Oct. 29th. The only consolation is that she was moving on to a new owner that happens to be a good friend of mine and I know she will be…
  6. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 13 Jun 2011 16:34 Like Kaldek said, put some Seafoam (fuel system cleaner) in the tank and ride the bike around for a while. Also, fuel injection systems (injectors, computer, etc.) work best when they are provided with a steady source…
  7. The reason I haven't been around as much .... 8 Apr 2011 17:58 Fantastic work! My love for riding started with a '75 CB200T and we had a '74 360T that my brother ran into a curb shortly after we got it running. So your post brings back a lot of good memories.
  8. Fall 2010 Cross Country Ride (LA>NY) 25 Mar 2011 18:23 Great report! Good balance of words and pictures. Keep it comin'!
  9. 1200 transplant 14 Feb 2011 17:53 vanion2, on 14 February 2011 - 10:37 AM, said: Anythings possible with enough money. :491: Agreed. What is it you're after? Just more power? You'd be better off installing a ToroCharger. You'd probably get very close to…
  10. ABS : worth it ? 18 Dec 2009 20:16 [image: View Post]BusyLittleShop, on 18 December 2009 - 02:00 PM, said: Where as a noob would blame the fall on the lack of ABS... Rossi blames himself for leaning over in the marbles... Quote Rossi: " I was a bit wide…
  11. ABS : worth it ? 18 Dec 2009 14:55 Obviously late to the party here and I'm sure the OP has already made his decision, but I just wanted to add my recent experience to the mix. A few weeks ago my brother and I were out for a little afternoon ride. He was…
  12. PLEASE HELP. Vtec airleak? 8 Dec 2009 18:08 Check the airbox for critters. 1 month sitting up in a garage is plenty of time for a mouse to build a nest on top of your air filter.
  13. Going Yellow! 19 Oct 2009 19:45 [image: View Post]GGray, on Oct 17 2009, 09:42 AM, said: Ive decided to paint my VFR Lemon Glow its a mettalic pearl yellow. I'll post pictures when I start on it next month... Also plan to paint some stuff black, fork…
  14. I've Got An 8 Spoke Wheel Coming... ...what To Do...? 25 Sep 2009 15:41 Strictly for looks. Weights are similar IIRC.
  15. That Xmas Eve Feeling 3 Sep 2009 17:33 Awesome. Nothing quite like the "getting a new bike" feeling.
  16. Advancing Ignition Timing 3 Sep 2009 17:31 I have zero experience with Power Commanders, but I thought I read somewhere that the PC V could change ignition timing?
  17. Diy - Powder Coated Rc30 Wheel. 18 Aug 2009 20:05 That looks fantastic. Big congrats on going the DIY route and being successful at it.
  18. Givi V35 Vs. Oem Side Cases 10 Aug 2009 15:56 The V35 outline closely resembles the OEM bags as well (which are also made by GIVI I believe). I think the V35's are definitely the best looking aftermarket bags for the 6th gen. I was just about to drop some coin on…
  19. Catless Header W/out Pciii Possible? 31 Jul 2009 14:19 Thanks for the reply y'all. I'll hold on to the headers until I can save up some cash for the PCIII.
  20. Vtech Abs Suspension Adjustment For Pillion 31 Jul 2009 14:17 I would think you'd need to max the preload out. You're going to be in the 400lb range. Isn't that the max load the bike is rated for? Anyway, knowing the VFR is undersprung (for most folks) to begin with, I think…
  21. Catless Header W/out Pciii Possible? 29 Jul 2009 14:16 I have a set of '98 catless headers sitting in my shed right now...they've been there waiting for installation for three years. I figured I shouldn't install them without installing a PCIII at the same time. But, I'm…
  22. Rough Shifting 22 Jul 2009 20:38 How long has your oil been in there? If its got a few thousand miles on it, I'd suggest starting with an oil change (Mobil 1 or Shell Rotella T synthetic are my preferences).
  23. Starter Valve Synch Question 14 Jul 2009 00:31 Thanks y'all! I got it done. The ol' girl seems to be running a bit smoother at idle.
  24. Starter Valve Synch Question 13 Jul 2009 15:37 Thanks coderider. I had actually made a manometer using clear tubing and 2-stroke oil, as demonstrated in another thread on VFRd. But I couldn't get the tubing to form an air tight seal around the t-fittings. That's why…
  25. Starter Valve Synch Question 13 Jul 2009 14:18 Here's the situation...My parents went away on a weeks vacation and, they left the keys...oh wait, wrong situation. I've got a motion pro carb synch tool. Only problem is that its a few years old and two of the glass…
  26. More Fuel For The Fire... 2 Jul 2009 14:12 [image: View Post]SpiralGray, on Jul 2 2009, 08:48 AM, said: P.S. Probably the biggest downsides of a shaft are that you can't wheelie them and they don't counter-steer. :dry: Was this said sarcastically? I hope so. On…
  27. 2011 Vfr 1000cc - 1200cc V4 Engine 24 Jun 2009 13:07 [image: View Post]DDO-VFR, on Apr 17 2009, 06:44 AM, said: I love it! As long as they keep the maintenance cost low (no more zillion$ valve adj.), and have a foot option for gear change we'll ALL end up loving it. BFN I…
  28. Need Quick Diagnosis! 12 Jun 2009 16:46 [image: View Post]jeremy556, on Jun 12 2009, 09:40 AM, said: [image: View Post]tyrroneous, on Jun 12 2009, 11:15 AM, said: I'm beginning to think Electrosport sold me a faulty Stator. It is easy enough to check.…
  29. Need Quick Diagnosis! 12 Jun 2009 15:15 Found the culprit! 10A mini fuse for starter. Replaced it and bike still won't put out more than 12v!!! Ughhh...I'm beginning to think Electrosport sold me a faulty Stator. I think I see a Rick's stator via Tightwad in…
  30. Need Quick Diagnosis! 12 Jun 2009 15:01 Just checked voltage on the R/W that runs from the battery, through the main 30A fuse and into the big blue connector on the left side. 12.78v on both sides of connector. Tried reconnecting the monitor wire back up to…
  31. Need Quick Diagnosis! 12 Jun 2009 12:36 [image: View Post]dfm4290, on Jun 12 2009, 06:24 AM, said: Check the kill switch? That was the first thing I tried. Switch is in the run position.
  32. Need Quick Diagnosis! 12 Jun 2009 11:43 Its crunch time folks...I leave for my track day in B'ham in about 8 hrs. After getting a new stator and R/R and installing, my battery voltage was still ~12v even at 5k rpm. So I did the R/R wire upgrade via this…
  33. Help! Need Parts Pronto! 8 Jun 2009 17:20 PM sent Tightwad.
  34. Help! Need Parts Pronto! 8 Jun 2009 15:19 Here's the lowdown...my trusty VFR's electrical system decided to crap out on me a week before my first trackday. :angry: My R/R and Stator fail every test in the book. I've looked up the part numbers and both the R/R…
  35. R1 Exhaust Installed! 1 Jun 2009 20:22 I like! 3" shorter would be perfect! Do you happen to know how much the stock R1 cans weigh? Gotta be less than the VFR's for sure.
  36. Changing Own Tires 9 Mar 2009 19:04 I use Simple Green when mounting my tires. Works pretty well and so far has not damaged any rims or tires. I've done probably 10 or so sets in the past 2 years.
  37. Decisions, Decisions, Decisions..... 3 Mar 2009 20:30 Keep the 5th gen and throw Toro1's supercharger kit on it! Spend what's left over for suspension and body work. All the power of the XX with the nimbleness and comfort of the VFR.
  38. It Is Now Time For Some Serious Modifications... 2 Mar 2009 15:50 Simply awesome. Congrats on making it all legit Toro.
  39. Does Anyone Know The Fuel Injector Size / Flow Rate? 27 Feb 2009 17:36 [image: View Post]coderighter, on Feb 27 2009, 11:17 AM, said: I checked the manual and it's not in lb/hr or any other method used in normal calculations. I don't have it in front of me, I think it was oz per min or…
  40. 5th And 6th Gen Headlights 28 Jan 2009 20:21 [image: View Post]tpierce(MP), on Jan 27 2009, 06:22 PM, said: On 5th gens, both lights are lit for low and high, i don't know if the low filiments are still powered oh high though. HTH On the fifth gen, I seem to…
  41. Honda Saddlebag Attachment 22 Oct 2008 15:13 [image: View Post]toddulu, on Oct 21 2008, 08:43 PM, said: :offtopic: Some unsolicited advice for when you install them... Don't tighten down ANY bolts until everything is attached. Leave ALL bolts just bearly threaded.…
  42. Pls Verify: Brake Light Power Comes From G/y Wire? 27 Sep 2008 02:07 [image: View Post]VFRcr8zy, on Sep 26 2008, 05:49 PM, said: The Green/Yellow wire is the Brake light power. You are correct. There are two lights and two connections (two Grn/Yel wires). One to each light on the same…
  43. Pls Verify: Brake Light Power Comes From G/y Wire? 26 Sep 2008 21:46 I'm installing some additional LED's on the rear. They'll flash when the brakes are activated. So the wire I need to tap for power is the G/Y tail light wire, correct? I've looked at the wiring diagram, but I'm doubting…
  44. I've Been Wondering Lately... 16 Sep 2008 20:07 Riv, what the heck is your avatar from?! Its giving me the heebie-jeebies!
  45. Help! Not Sure What To Do Next With Vibration 26 Aug 2008 18:54 Aftermarket = parts that are not specified by the manufacturer or did not come on you back as it left the factory. Check the chain tension...make sure it is not too tight. A little too loose is better than a little too…

  47. Stumbling 6th Gen... 19 Aug 2008 18:59 Even though you have done the recall, check your stator and rectifier and make sure they are putting out the correct numbers. Also, could it be a bad batch of gas (the bike, not you)?
