Last 50 of 508- New addition to the garage That's a terrific bike. Another great V4! Perfect bike for touring and ripping through the Kootenays.
- Ride to Multnomah falls That's a great ride. The Rowena Curves and the ice cream along the way have kept me coming back a few times.
- Cellphone Mount Needed I've also used RAM mounts (U-bolt base) from the gas tank bolts and put a ball just in front of the tank with a 6" extension. https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-231ZU (you just need some longer tank bolts - longer…
- New donation from superfunkomatic Hi superfunkomatic, Thank you for your donation of 25.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
- Helmet reline or purchase new? 2 hours ago, Fritzer After looking at the new helmet offerings and decided to give the LS2 Strobe helmet a try. It has the following features I desire Modular construction. I appreciate the ability to get the front of…
- VFR1200 Project Bike Really cool to watch how this is unfolding.
- Eighth gen headlight I'd go with 3M Scotchguard or XPEL film to cover the lenses. The XPEL is easier to apply and tends to yellow less. It does a remarkable job of protection as well. Unless you're constantly on gravel roads with your VFR…
- 2008 VFR with squeeking wheel/chain sound - anyone familiar? Give the chain a thorough clean - it's really rusty and dirty looking. See if it turns better and rolls evenly through the sprockets. Could just be gunk and crap stuck in the links. My guess is that chain (and sprocket…
- Should I replace clutch parts When I sold my 2005 it had 90,000 kilometres on it. Clutch was still fine but if I'd kept the bike I probably would have changed it soon just to be sure. Unless your clutch is acting up, I'm not sure I'd bother.…
- Oil Filter Leaking........... EvanVFR750, 5/14/2020 at 1:07 PM Ive been using OEM filters and it’s happened twice where the oring from the old filter sticks to the case. My bike dumped out the oil after an oil change due to a “double oring”. I would…
- First ride of 2020 Good photos. Happy new year! Townsville and north towards Port Douglas and Cairns is beautiful country - swam in the Great Barrier Reef a few decades ago.
- SPORT tourer 13 hours ago, Lorne In fairness, the 6th gen Honda panniers are a *lot* narrower than a set of Givi. And not much wider than the RKA 47 litre saddlebags I used previously. I can attest that they are no wider than my…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? 4 hours ago, RDMcD Wait until you have to clean around the front sprocket some day. Not fun, nothing seems to dissolve that stuff. Carb cleaner will dissolve it with very little effort. You may use quite a bit to clean…
- Bike took a big hit Zoinks!@! Whatever you hit had some serious mass to make a hole like that. Better that it hit the bike and not you. Consider that your lucky day. Buy a lottery ticket. 😉
- Front brake caliper mounting bolt replacement? 2 10 hours ago, HughJebolzak If you did use a torque wrench, you might be surprised to find out how "loose" the correct torque seems on a lot of fasteners. I apprenticed as a construction electrician many years ago and…
- Front brake caliper mounting bolt replacement? HughJebolzak, 5/4/2019 at 6:18 AM I just had new tires installed. I removed the wheels myself and took them into a local shop to have the rubber mounted. I notice in the service manual it instructs you to replace the…
- 1984 Miniceptor Refresh Wow! Looks great. Very thorough going-over of the bike. I'd like to rebuild mine at some point. Looks like a lot of little bits that haven't aged well. Mine has been sitting since 2004, so I guess I'd have my work cut…
- Rear brake use EagleSix, 4/2/2018 at 4:58 PM Although I think superfunkomatic made a good post, I don't agree with it entirely because there are no exceptions or further specifics to determined on what braking systems are on what…
- Rear brake use gradus, 4/2/2018 at 2:45 PM Most who attend the Basic Rider Course are completely new to riding. They have no muscle memory and ride anything from cruisers to sport bikes. IMO you have to keep it simple. Teaching smooth…
- Rear brake use gloryracing, 4/2/2018 at 5:40 AM Why would there be a different process for a cruiser? I don't understand why the rear brake first would be suggested. Thanx. Sport bikes have stronger breaking in the front and different…
- 8th Gen Luggage pics 1 hour ago, CDNBCN Hey folks, I'm considering purchasing a set of OEM saddlebags as well, so this question is for you guys with them... I'm curious to know how waterproof they are? Or do you need to purchase the inner…
- 2018 VFRD SUMSUM 4 Booked. I'm not sure if I can actually make it yet but I've booked a room just in case. :goofy:
- What is this sound? Cam chain tensioners? I can't tell what year of bike it is and whether or not it has gear driven cam or cam chain. Sounds like the clacking of a cam chain which I had on my 2005. Pretty easy fix and about 200 bucks. The…
- Rear brake use I used to teach motorcycle training at a local safety council (similar to MSF course in the USA). We instructed that "it depends". Cruiser with lots of weight - start with rear and apply front - too much front too soon…
- Honda N600 Car with VFR-800 Engine Love this! What a cool car and the sound, wow!
- JR Alter Ego 13.0 It's got male supermodel written all over it! :goofy: Seriously though, nice kit!
- Seriously thinking of selling my VFR :( 8 hours ago, MaxSwell Congrats SFOM. I hope I can return to ride with and try to keep up with you. The Canadian PNW is the best area I've been in for mc riding. Last summer those African Twin were hard to come by…
- Seriously thinking of selling my VFR :( deltaboxii, 2/22/2017 at 6:00 PM Don't forget about the Honda Africa Twin...drool. I sold my 2005 VFR for the CRF1000L Africa Twin. Love the suspension, cushy ride and seating position. That being said I loved my VFR…
- Wheel balancer advice Try Marc Parnes balancing cones. They are not cheap but are specifically design for single swing arm wheels like the VFR. http://www.marcparnes.com/
- Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) So, in the summer I sold my 2005 VFR and I bought this... (CRF250L) because I couldn't get an Africa Twin CRF1000L. Then in December, I figured the bike wouldn't be coming, so I bought this. (Honda Ridgeline). Then a…
- Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) Oops. Yes, Crossrunner. My mistake. That's an interesting way of revising the VFR. Very cool bike.
- Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) Skids, 12/17/2016 at 2:57 AM Technically, I still have 4 cos there are still several parts of my 98 model that I haven't sold yet. But I need a bike for sunny Sunday afternoons, an RC51 perhaps.... My garage is not big…
- 2016-17 Wind Chill Games Last ride of the year was two weeks ago. Morning temperature -6 celcius and with windchill at 100 km/h is -19 celcius or, drumroll... -2.2 fahrenheit. Damn cold! By the way, it's -18 celcius here today, plus the…
- A Thanksgiving Day Cruise up ACH Been to the LA area a few times and always seem to run out of time to ride this road. Looks amazing. Next time, maybe next summer... Thanks for sharing.
- Metal Polish Q Car wax? There's a product available here in Canada (probably the US, too) called Brasso. Works on chrome - I've used it on cars to inhibit rust. Polishes in and leaves no residue.
- Cold Storage When I used to store my bikes in an unheated garage I'd do the following: change oil, put in fuel stabilizer, get the bike off the ground to keep the tires from developing flat spots, throw on a cover and wait for…

- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread 4 minutes ago, digitallyhip And some of you guys thought that Polarbear and I carried too many spare parts before! [image: delivery.jpg] You never know when you could get a rear flat that you can't repair on the road.…
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread 7 hours ago, MaxSwell I'm finally leaving the Dancing Bear. Headed to Revelstoke and Yoho. I joined Intl. Hostels to do more of these stays. Full props to Mike and the whole crew for making this such a Fabulous Trip.My…

- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread 2016 at 7:35 PM, DfnsMn69, July 23 The non-VFR brethren took the road less traveled to Buchanan Lookout.... [image: 20160723_143801_HDR.jpg] [image: 20160723_143844_HDR.jpg] What a fantastic ride! Great fun.
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread Awesome! See you there. That's a good long ride. :)
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread 15 minutes ago, auggius Just a heads up that there is road construction from the Slocan Valley (Hwy 6) junction for 15 km to Nelson. Half the road is grooved and it's alternating single lane with 20 minute closures. So…
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread 4 minutes ago, 34468Randy The only one who ever called me Randall was my mom. And only when she was really mad at me. This was more often that I would like to admit. Dude, it's the name on your payment. I'm Michael but…
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread Parking A couple of notes for when you arrive on Friday. There's parking on the front driveway, behind the building, and as things fill up, directly in front of the hostel on the street. There's also a parking lot…
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread I think I'm going to leave at 5am. I'd like to see if I can make it over Gray Creek Pass (gravel road). I'll be aiming to be in Nelson early, around 2pm.
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread Sorry to hear that e-ticket. Perhaps the next meet. Thumper8 (Tony) - off-topic but here's an article about your 'new' CBX -…
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread The Paddywhack sounds good. I'll see what's available at the liquor outlet.
- 2016 Kootenay Hootenanny - July 22-24, 2016 - Official Thread We're into the final week. Glad to see everyone is finding their way to the meet and finding groups to ride with. The itinerary is in the first post for meals and meeting times. We'll have some 'pops' and junk food on…
