All 29- Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? slither My policy is that my body can't cash the checks ego thumping writes. I will say that when I ride with cruiser guys, I regularly hear them talk about scraping hard parts, when I'm not even coming near. I may be…
- Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? First off who cares is right... Honestly though...On a highway you might get beat might not. Big deal though. Any kind of cornering though and you will absolutely smoke the Vrod. It has the wrong rake angle, wide wheel…
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! Since i plugged my pair valve in i am back up to 160 with 1 bar but not blinking. before i was 140-150 on 1 bar and blinking!
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! ReefDiver I always thought unplugged pair valves were disabled and not letting air thru the exhaust? I honestly never researched this, but was going by what I've read on here---->…
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! So I plugged my Pair Valve electrical connector back in thus enabling the pair valves to work again. I think Dawson is on to something. Instead of getting max 150 miles to a tank i am up to 170+ and not even blinking…
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! Most forums want people to do searches for threads relating to the topic they wish to discuss and pickup the discussion if there is something to add. I have no problem starting a new thread if that's what i should do.
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! If the pair valves are disconnected are they always open (letting fresh air in exhaust) or closed?
- Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec I dont even know where to begin...I had assumed that the powercommander adjusted ignition timing... Apparently this does both ignition timing and fueling? Also, what is the thought on having a quick shift sensor? does…
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! Thanks for the info. I assumed i would be 10% or more over on the ODO. If its closer to 4-5% I feel a little better....
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! Thread Resurrection! I did a -1 front sprocket and stock rear sprocket. stock air filter. pair valves disabled (unplugged connector, no plate). flapper disabled. normal running temp 170+. ambient temps from 35-50…
- Oem topcase bracketmounting rack question I will take some pictures and post them up on one condition...you do not make fun of my welds...i had a huge gap to fill, little experience, and a very cheap welder (wall plug type).
- Oem topcase bracketmounting rack question I was in the same boat as you...I went ahead and made my own rack. I bought a top case from JCwhitney for 60 bucks or so... Then i went to a scrap yard that also sells metal. I bought 2" wide by 1/4" thick flat iron…
- Phlebmaster's 1987 Vfr750F Evolution- Full Of Pics And Win! Sup Phleb. Must be tough work updating two forums! Love the project!
- Automotive thermostat replacement for VFR800??? 1TallTXn wagigkpn Well the honda unit and oring were less than 40 bucks so what are you really saving? Not worth the risk... Maybe you can say it has an aftermarket thermostat when selling? Time of shipping, and the 5…
- Automotive thermostat replacement for VFR800??? 1TallTXn I'll add a few tid bits. Sadly, they're not details on what non-Honda thermostat to buy. The Honda part number for the thermostat is: 19300-MBG-003 $25.76 The O-Ring you really should get with it is part…
- 15t front sprocket = better mpg??? Tire wear makes a big difference in speed and RPM as well. I had Q2's that were so flat i was mm from a blow out. I was doing prob 80 at vtech kick in in 6th gear. Now with new PR3's i am much MUCH lower RPM at those…
- 15t front sprocket = better mpg??? I also dropped one tooth in the front. I expect mileage gains like you because acceleration is "easier" on the bike. We all know acceleration is the gas guzzler for MPG. With -1 front you dont need to really rip the…
- Engine Temp???? Bumping because i am curious...anyone else in cool wet weather have a hard time getting engine temp up past 150?
- 6th Gen Rebuild Project I am really curious what you got the bike for and what your budget is for parts! You are cooking on this...very fun to follow! keep it up!
- Engine Temp???? Also live in the Pacific northwest. I too will be in the 220 range when lower than 35 mph. However, When i ride in mid 40 degree F temps and its raining out or the roads are wet my bike wont heat up past 145 degrees!!!…

- Brake pads? yeah, i live in western washington which is rain rain USA. sintered is a must because i ride in the wet all the time. at the 45$ price hard to go wrong unless they dont fit! I will bevel the edges like you say. thanks.…
- Brake pads? Cool, i checked it out. its showing 33 bucks a set so thats 100 dollars for 3 sets. out of my price range. i am going to settle for these 45 bucks for 3 sets. I will post back and let yall know how it goes.

- Help repair/need right side oem bag I am going to try to fix it by mounting a metal plate to the under side and putting new hinges on. I am also going to make a custom rear rack to mount my JCwhitney trunk case to. Going to start a new thread about it.
- Helmet weight I have my eye on the Icon Variant helmet...Say what you will about Icon as a brand, that helmet has great reviews. i hear its light, very stable at 180+ mph and excellent vision. I plan on getting it when i have the…
- Top 15 Motorcycle roads USA/Canada I have not ridden outside of western Washington, however, SR 112 on the NW point of the continental US is the best road on the planet. Period. I ride that in the summer to go fishing at Sekiu. some of the happiest days…
