  1. Let's talk tyres! 20 Feb 2017 04:26 I'm running T30s on my bike now and have had them for almost three years. These aren't the Evo version, but I'm not that impressed with them. I find the turn in to be slow and I just don't get a feeling of confidence.…
  2. Deka ETX12 battery? 20 Feb 2017 04:14 So after sitting in the garage for the past few months, even hooked up to a battery tender, the battery in my bike will no longer crank the motor without loosing enough voltage that the trip odometer and clock get…
  3. Plug Replacement -- Irridiums Worth It? 16 Sep 2015 02:09 Copper plugs conduct the best. Platinum and iridium are for longetivity.
  4. Any Changes For 2015? 11 Aug 2015 02:19 As far as I can tell it was a model year changeover with no updates (equipment or price). Has this been confirmed?
  5. New Red Led Tail Lights... Ya Gotta Be Blind Not To See Me Stopping 3 Aug 2014 19:09 Do these LEDs have resisters inside of them? I know some electrical systems are very sensitive to the draw from the bulbs, although on an older bike like this I doubt there are systems in place to monitor the bulbs.
  6. Since Real Men Don't Stop And Ask For Directions... 29 Jul 2014 10:48 When I tried to mount a RAM mount to the gas tank bolts on my 6th gen, it would hit the tank. Any clearance issues here?
  7. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 22 Jul 2014 22:35 ember1205 raoufhakam I'd say you should've just asked for return/refund from the beginning and saved yourself and them all the hassle. P.s. i have Delkevic can on my VFR, while it doesnt look as fancy as a TBR, its half…
  8. Apparently The 5Th Gen Muffler Fits On The 8Th Gen 19 Jul 2014 23:07 So this should be good news for us, giving us more choices for aftermarket mufflers. Right now there is already an Akrapovic and a Remus option for the 8th gen. I think it's time one of us tries fitting this on the 5th…
  9. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 19 Jul 2014 21:25 So the "new" muffler they sent me was damaged - big scratch on the front of the can. I wrote them back and they gave me lots of attitude and essentially told me too bad. After entirely too much effort on my part, I…
  10. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 3 Jul 2014 01:04 A new muffler showed up today. So I'll need to remove the gasket sealer on the connecting pipe and then reassemble. I'm thinking I may just sell this and go back to the stock system, as I did like being able to hear the…
  11. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 29 Jun 2014 18:05 Still nothing from two brothers yet. No notice of shipping and nothing in my UPS schedule. Seems like they forgot about me. I sent another follow up email to Greg and asked what was going on. Sent from my iPad using…
  12. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 17 Jun 2014 23:49 After going back and forth with Two Brothers, they agreed to send me a new system and I'll send this one back to them. They wanted to send me a new cap and have be drill out the rivets, and I said no way. Considering…
  13. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 14 Jun 2014 20:35 Yeah, but this was how it came from Two Brothers. The other 5 bolts were fine, just this one that was incorrectly installed during their assembly.
  14. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 14 Jun 2014 20:00 Here is a better look at the threads in the muffler: [image: 2014-06-14%252015.42.25.jpg]
  15. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 14 Jun 2014 19:25 Went to install the P1X just now, and when I removed the allen bolts holding on the end cap, the bolt in the 2:00 position was slightly stripped and the threads in the muffler look quite bad: [image:…
  16. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 10 Jun 2014 23:26 I ordered a P1-X baffle for the Two Brothers, so we'll see how much of a difference it makes, then I'll update this thread again.
  17. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 9 Jun 2014 01:42 I put on the exhaust friday night, good quality system for sure. However, I do not like their V.A.L.E. system as it just seems like one more area where it could leak, and having to use a gasket maker for the midpipe to…
  18. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 31 May 2014 01:46 Exhaust came today direct from Two Brothers. Apparently they had to make it, so it's quite "fresh". I have to say they have the best packaging system I have ever seen. This is my first Two Brothers exhaust, and just…
  19. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 21 May 2014 11:41 I ended up ordering the aluminum black series. I was going to do the titanium, but it was out of stock at two brothers and it would be at least a month before it would ship. Will post some pictures once I receive it…
  20. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 10 May 2014 03:22 Lobster Delkevic Oh yeah, should also mention I don't want any Chinese made exhausts, so that is why I excluded them. They seem to be of decent quality, but just a personal preference. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? 10 May 2014 03:10 Two Brothers seems to be the only company making exhausts for our bike still. I found one site that still listed Remus exhausts, but I emailed them and they told me they are sold out and can't get anymore. Leo Vince…
  22. It's Time For New Tires! 3 Mar 2014 22:19 So I went onto dunlop's website and put in my bike and let it select tires for me. First suggestion? Q3s. Second suggestion was the RoadSmart 2s. For the month of March they are also running a $40 rebate in the form of…
  23. It's Time For New Tires! 3 Mar 2014 18:16 Dustin vfr350 thanks for the clarification on the GT tires adg44. whats an example of a heavy touring bike, gold wing? The Pilot Road 4 is the OEM tire for the 2014 R1200RT and that bike is ~55 lbs heavier (wet) than a…
  24. It's Time For New Tires! 2 Mar 2014 15:42 Mikesmini080877 vfr350 Mikesmini080877 I'm running continental road attack 2 GT tyres on the front and back on my 5th gen and really like them. They warm up really quickly and are super grippy and give me plenty of…
  25. It's Time For New Tires! 1 Mar 2014 20:15 vfr350 do you think one could get the supplier to give you the born on dates before purchasing? bike mechanic said they always have great deals on older stock tires. Hah - you are reading my mind. I was going to call…
  26. It's Time For New Tires! 1 Mar 2014 20:04 So I've found on Amazon through JC Motors the ContiRoadAttack 2s for $252.38 shipped, which is a fantastic deal. The decision now is if I want to try a more sports oriented tire, or stick with these tires which I think…
  27. It's Time For New Tires! 1 Mar 2014 14:22 As an update to this thread, Bridgestone is supposed to be releasing the S20 evo in March, which claims much better tread wear for the rear tire and more grip. And yes, the T30 is the replacement for the BT-023. Sent…
  28. It's Time For New Tires! 1 Mar 2014 00:16 wgregt I'm not completely convinced that the born date on a tire would make me get rid of it. I have mounted and used some pretty damn old rubber now & then and if I have an unused set that I get on sale at some point I…
  29. It's Time For New Tires! 27 Feb 2014 23:45 vfr350 Anthony, besides the price deal w the Conti's do you have any other complaints? I have had my eyes on those for my next set. Nope, they were the best street tires I have ever used. zupatun Running a Dunlop Q2 on…
  30. It's Time For New Tires! 27 Feb 2014 14:02 So if we are talking about hypersport tires like the S20, has anyone used the Pilot Power 3s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  31. It's Time For New Tires! 26 Feb 2014 21:33 So I can get the BT-023 for $239 shipped through Amazon sold by motorcycle superstore, I think I may just do that. Pilot Road 4s seem nice but are considerably more expensive. It's also a Japanese bike so I should put…
  32. It's Time For New Tires! 26 Feb 2014 04:02 Earthshake If you have 7 year old tires you must not put on a lot of miles. In that case, maybe you can tolerate a low mileage pure sport tire like the S20 since sport touring tires may age out before they wear out.…
  33. It's Time For New Tires! 26 Feb 2014 01:24 The tires on my VFR are from 2007, which put them 7 years old, and after 5 years you are risking it riding on dry tires. Some people like to take this chance, I don't considering how cheap it is to buy new tires. On my…
  34. Good Price For A Used 2010? 11 Sep 2013 00:26 To each their own but I personally like mine and am glad I waited for the 12. Like others have said, crazy power and brakes that are brilliant. Yes she is chubby, but hey, I kind of like it that way lol. Be patient and…
  35. Good Price For A Used 2010? 10 Sep 2013 21:58 Just watched an auction on eBay where a 2010 with 7600 miles sold for $5,766. What a deal.
  36. Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 9 Sep 2013 20:16 I need to share my experience with the ContiRoadAttack 2 tires. They are hands down the best tires I have ever used. They are quiet, are wearing wonderfuly, don't have "dual compounds" so there is no transition feel,…
  37. Good Price For A Used 2010? 27 Aug 2013 18:52 To further update this thread, and also for people selling their bikes and other people considering a 2010, a new 2010 with 0 miles just sold on eBay for $9,200. I had bid up to $9,100, and I likely could have gotten…
  38. Cell Phone Mount 27 Aug 2013 18:49 So I got the handlebar mount, and when removing the U bolts, it fits perfectly with the gas tank bolts. However, this puts the ball a bit too close for comfort to the tank. Once I mount the adapter, it can touch the…
  39. Cell Phone Mount 27 Aug 2013 18:32 So I got the handlebar mount, and when removing the U bolts, it fits perfectly with the gas tank bolts. However, this puts the ball a bit too close for comfort to the tank. Once I mount the adapter, it can touch the…
  40. Cell Phone Mount 20 Aug 2013 19:46 I have a battery cable and will get a usb outlet adapter, then run the micro usb to the phone. It provides 1amp which will be enough to maintain battery level while using gps and powering the screen. Unless you have…
  41. Cell Phone Mount 20 Aug 2013 15:06 I use the XGrip but with an Adaptiv technoligies mount. Any info on the mount? Mounting is one thing, but you say you are going to use the phone as your GPS on an upcoming trip. If you leave the screen on constantly the…
  42. Cell Phone Mount 20 Aug 2013 02:05 Looking to use my Samsung GSIII as a nav unit on an upcoming trip. I looked on the google for a vfr800 phone mount and found the Ram Mount, which seems to be the only company that makes some sort of mounting device. RAM…
  43. Tail Bag? 16 Aug 2013 03:45 When you guys are mounting your tail bags, are you just securing it to the seat, or are you strapping down to some mounting point on the bike? I assume the underseat exhaust makes it a bit tricky to tie down. I like the…
  44. Tail Bag? 15 Aug 2013 03:27 Thanks for the link, monk. I see that new enough doesn't sell the held bag. Where did you purchase yours? Also, cortech now has the super 2.0: http://www.motorcycl...2_tail_bag.html Has anyone used that?
  45. Flutteringrattling noise from engine while under load at half throttle 15 Aug 2013 03:01 Interesting replies. One thing to note is that mine doesn't vibrate or feel like it's running poorly. In fact it is running extremely well and power output is fantastic. Interesting to hear that someone else has the…
  46. Tail Bag? 15 Aug 2013 02:52 Just curious what you all are using for a tail bag. I used to have a BMW motorrad tail bag on my k1200s and it was fantastic. I sold that with the bike though, so now I need a new one. What fits best on the vfr? I see…
  47. Good Price For A Used 2010? 15 Aug 2013 01:30 There was a 2010 that sold on eBay for $7,999 with 2400 miles. It was at a semi-local dealer so I drove to see it one day, was in good condition, just a bit dirty. Dirt in the creases, bug guts on the fork and on the…
  48. Considering An 01 Vfr, 10K Miles, Original Owner, $4500 15 Aug 2013 01:26 After thinking about it, I wrote to the owner and told him I wouldn't be able to meet his price. He is likely going to hold onto it rather than sell it for market value. I can understand the bond with the bike, and most…
  49. Found A Brand New 7Th Gen, 2012, $10,999 14 Aug 2013 03:22 I will give them a call tomorrow and see how much they would charge to ship the bike to me...
  50. Good Price For A Used 2010? 12 Aug 2013 02:29 I currently ride a 6th gen, but am thinking about trading up to the 7th gen. I read about the changes for 2012, but I really like the red over the blue. Also, the insurance is almost half that of the 2012 model. Aside…
