All 36- Back on the VFR: 5th gen Givi side cases recommendation I use a pair of Pelican 1550s mounted to the giving side rackwith an e52 givi on the back. It's relatively inexpensive and the pelicans are indestructible, making them great as crash guards. This setup is also quite…
- Luggage and Seat Suggestions for my 98' I picked up a '99 a few months ago and have been doing the same. After tons of reading forums and such, as well as sitting on a Corbin, I went with the Sargent. Passenger comfort is also a big concern (the SO hated on…
- Ticking sound... valves? I have TB headers/pipe. Haven't had a chance to dig in, but it's getting more noticeable. I ordered the PAIR blockoff plates figuring I was gonna do that anyway, and am going to play with the exhaust this week. I've…
- Ticking sound... valves? So my '99 has developed a ticking sound at idle. Barely audible at first, but over the last week or so it's gotten louder. Sounds like a bb bouncing inside a small container. The bike just rolled over 16k, so it's…
- Feed back from shifter When i first got the VFR I was dealing with this every few shifts, thinking that something might be wrong or worn in there. Lot of first to second shifts ending up in neutral. After a while, I adjusted my shifting…
- Luggage options I've yet to have any issues bottoming with a pillion and a topcase, and while I'm all for upgrading the suspension, that would have to wait until I can afford it. In the meanwhile, looking at the bike from the side,…

- Hard Bags for a 5th Gen I finally mounted some Pelicans to mine. I'm aiming for two-up comfort, so the placement is worsened a bit by passenger space consideration, but still, it looks pretty good (they're old, beat-up bags that have seen…
- Peg Lowering Blocks Any news on a passenger version of these?
- Luggage options Well, had my first run with them yesterday with somewhat mixed results. Took a ride from NYC to Atlantic city and back for a show; about 2:30 each way. I love how narrow the bike remains with these compared to the…
- Luggage options Well, the Happy Trails pucks came in and I finally had some time to get this done. Drilled some new holes in the Pelicans and got 'em mounted after having my passenger sit on the bike to make sure everything is cleared.…
- 2000 VFR running great, but... Definitely take a look at your chain. I had something like that on my Wee that I couldn't figure out during the tail end of a long tour.. got worse and worse until it sounded like the rear end was going to crack off.…
- Luggage options I was referring to these: http://www.twistedth...roductview/5677 , as well as the fact that SW-Motech doesn't make an Alu-rack to go with the side racks for the 5th gen. What I'm trying to do is attach a pair of…
- Luggage options The problem is that the adapters for the case side of that equation are 180. No offence, but this is why this topic was posted to the gen 5 specific forum :-). We have a whole other world of scarcity here when it comes…
- Luggage options Got the Givi rack and both the big pyramid tooth and the two little ones are easily removable, leaving clean 5/8" tubing with nothing protruding. It won't be quick release, but looks like it will be easily removable and…
- Luggage options Does anyone know if this will work with a Givi side rack? http://www.happy-tra...-Mount-Kit.aspx Is the tooth in the givi rack removable? Seems like it would really be the only thing in the way.
- Best battery for 4th gen VFR's? I'd give an extra thumbs up to Yuasa. Their support department redefined what customer support could and should be for me. More than worth the extra few bucks if/when shit hits the fan.
- Interest in Skidmarx Hugger group buy? I'm interested in fiberglass for 5th gen if the price is good.

- Classic rectifier symptoms or something else? I didn't dig into the stator today, but did some minor testing. 12.6 off, 13.8 idle that drops progressively as the revs go up down to 13.2 at 5k. Also checked more connectors and still can't find anything. I did notice…
- Classic rectifier symptoms or something else? Thanks for the tips. Will break out the multimeter again in the morning. Meanwhile, has anyone had any experience with a slight burning smell, particularly after it rained? It seems to be coming from the right side…
- Classic rectifier symptoms or something else? Was hoping not to have to update this thread, but, well, here we are. Had to bump start the bike 3 times today. I hadn't had any issues until today since this started, although once or twice in heavy traffic the bike…
- How old are our VFR owners? 31... And having come off a V-Strom I don't seem to be into expected age brackets much. Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2
- More questions (sprockets, gear changes) :-) I was reading some other threads on other sites on shifting and such, and riding home tonight I got to trying something. Someone had mentioned that you shouldn't let the throttle ALL the way out, and shouldn't pull the…
- Classic rectifier symptoms or something else? Definitely didn't seem loose, although in the process of checking I did end up reseating many of the connectors on the bike. g Also, just now I was going to give a friend a lift to his bike and he asked if he could…
- Classic rectifier symptoms or something else? Checked all the connectors I could find yesterday, included the dreaded orange ground in the harness, and still can't find anything burned or corroded. I haven't had any issues since that day either, which is unnerving…
- More questions (sprockets, gear changes) :-) So it's been a month with the VFR and I'm loving the bike more and more. Couple things still bothering me though. The bike is waaay over-geared, which occasionally makes for some annoying shifts down into first in slow…
- Veefers Wasn't me, but a buddy of mine from the neighborhood. He hit a patch of gravel in some local twisties (218 by west point) and lowsided at like 40 mph. Bike hit a rock wall on the outside of the turn. He thankfully…

- Classic rectifier symptoms or something else? Thanks all. I picked up a multimeter and am going to dig into it. I rode around some more yesterday and did not experience any more issues, which reminds me somewhat of an issue I had with the headlight going out on me…
- Classic rectifier symptoms or something else? Riding earlier today I noticed the throttle getting a bit jerky. As I opened it and closed it a few times, the engine died and I rolled off the road in neutral. The FI light came on but shut off after a key restart.…

- Luggage options So I wasn't sure whether to post this in Luggage, but seeing as there is not much traffic over there and this is more specific to the 5th gen, well, here we are. Bit of background: I'm coming off a V-Strom, which has an…
- Anyone go VStrom to VFR or the other way around? I had a Wee for the past year; it was my first bike. A few days ago I picked up a 5th gen VFR, so have some impressions to share in the other direction. I'm also in NYC, BTW. Getting on the VFR, a few things were…
