Last 50 of 51- Best Noise Isolating Earbuds / Earphones For Inside Helmet Use? Shure SE215.
- Just Renewed My M/c Ins Policy Prem Dropped $163.00 I switched my motorcycle to Progressive from Geico and my premiums went from about $600 to $250 for full coverage. However, part of this reduction is because my wife has some speeding tickets and I was getting rated…
- Anyone Use Iphone As Their Gps? Based on suggestions here, I decided to try the co-pilot app for it's impressive kung-fu with importing routes only to discover that the recent IOS update 8.3 for iphone broke this ability! :angry: Goodbye $7.99.
- Anyone Use Iphone As Their Gps? This site has a good comparison of iphone GPS apps and I generally agree with their feature comparisons for the 5 apps on the list I have tried: http://www.motomappe...-apps-reviewed/ However their analysis is almost a…
- Anyone Use Iphone As Their Gps? Just keep in mind, by the time you download the Navigon basic app, plus the "in app purchases", you're looking at $130.00 or more. Not really, because you just buy the regions you need. I bought US east only for around…
- Anyone Use Iphone As Their Gps? I use Iphone + Navigon GPS app. I like Navigon because (1) All maps are downloaded to phone so no cell service is required. (2) It has a motorcycle/scenic mode which does a pretty decent job of finding twisties and…
- Popularity Of Vfr's If you look at the big picture, I think you will find that in most countries motorcycles are very commonly used as daily transportation. This is generally not true in the USA. In the USA, you have a lot more pure…
- Scary First Ride! +1 on tire pressure. In fact, the fellow I bought my VFR from had just bought it himself a few weeks prior to selling it to me and said he was selling it because he hated the handling and liked his Harley better. I rode…
- Sport Touring Boots That You Can Walk A Mile In +1 on the Sidi Adventure gore-tex. Have them and love them. Only complaint is they are a little noisy.
- Welcome To My 08 Abs With 5000 Miles ! Very nice. An ABS with 5000 miles and factory luggage to boot? It looks mint. Incredible find! Must be the 10,000 post karma. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
- New To The Vfr Welcome and make sure to post pictures when you pick it up!
- Official 12Th Annual Texasmac Event Thread 2015 Yup. All full. Try again next year. [image: emoji14.png] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr 2FAST4U I'll give you two. One in your state and one in mine. Kitty Hawk? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr It is winter and I'm going out of my mind wanting to ride but it is too cold. Post a picture of your bike to bring Spring!
- "winter Is Here" ... 'oil Question" [image: mwcpopcorn.gif]
- Battery Life. Tru Gel Vs Yuasa Vs. Deltran Lion. Quest-what do you mean a new battery tender is required? Do newer model battery tenders have enhancements to handle LiON batteries?
- Fluctuating Voltage, Weak Charging On 2003? OK, so now the age-old question. Which R/R to get and where to get it? a) OEM b) Rick's MOSFET c) Shindengen FH020AA d) Other ?
- Fluctuating Voltage, Weak Charging On 2003? OK, I tested the AC voltages on stator disconnected from RR per instructions here. It tests out near perfectly at idle and 5000 RPM: around 19.6v and 67v AC respectively.
- Fluctuating Voltage, Weak Charging On 2003? Any new mods lately ? And did you do a stator output with the R\R disconnected? AC output at idle and 4000 or 5000 rpm. No, I haven't done anything to the bike. I haven't checked the stator AC output. I'll check that…
- Fluctuating Voltage, Weak Charging On 2003? The battery is only about 18 months old. It takes a charge well and maintains voltage under load. I'm thinking the battery is good.
- Fluctuating Voltage, Weak Charging On 2003? I have always put the bike on my battery tender after each ride just out of habit. I recently noticed(wasn't looking before) that after each ride when I plug in my battery tender, the battery tender stays solid…
- Does Anyone Have Experience With This Chain Tool? http://sprocketcente...rivet-tool.html The price is right and I don't need a tool to cut off the old chain so this would work for me. I have a high opinion of Sprocket Center and don't think they would carry an inferior…
- When Butt And Asphalt Meet.. The fact that you are physically OK is the great thing here. Everything else is secondary. Having said that, I will state this is exactly why we should all have ABS. You will never lock the wheels with ABS and "lay…
- Key Broke Off In My Givi Bag As I was closing my right Givi E-28 saddlebag, I heard a tink-a-dink-a-diddle on the ground and saw the top half of the key. The bottom is still in the lock. Any idea how to get it out without destroying the lock (I…
- Lung Chopping Time Kick that cancers ass tomorrow, Muff! We will be with you in spirit tomorrow morning.
- Deer Vs Vfr Very sorry to hear about your deer accident. They are very dangerous. This is the primary reason I don't ride at night in the area I live in. They are all over the place. I hope you mend quickly!
- Maintenance Day That radiator fluid looks very bad. A failing head gasket can do that although in Honda engines it is exceedingly rare so I would guess it is simply radiator rust from the fluid never being changed. I hope your water…
- Dead Vfr (Electrical) +1 on bad battery and Switchblade's recommendation.
- Help! Powerlet Won't Charge Phone. Powerlets don't work if you have the green shirt of shame. Known issue.

- Zumo & TomTom are Obsolete Hail & Noobtastic--What apps are you using on your phone?
- Diy Tire Swap - Bead Breaking I have changed my own tires for years but this year I found the ultimate solution and time-saver. On a NC-focused motorcycle forum, I found a guy near me who bought an entire tire-changing setup and he will change…

- thoughts on your 6th gen R/W/B with ABS.... ABS thousand words:
- How to export Google Maps routes to Zumo GPX format On the same subject, does anyone know of an Iphone GPS app that allows inporting of GPX files?
- Michelin and Bridgestone Tire Coupon Codes Thank you Yokel. Your timing was perfect and saved me $13 and some change on a new PR2 rear and PP front.
- CHAIN REPLACEMENT This seems to vary widely. I've heard of chains and sprockets lasting 50,000 miles with regular cleaning and lube but that is on the higher end of what's possible. 25,000 miles might be a reasonable average. It is my…
- Here's your sign... October sounds good. I'll get in touch. Let's find some other VFR riders to join.
- Here's your sign... You are not far from me. It would be fun to get a group of NC VFR riders together for a ride. You should find that ignorant VFR800 guy again. He can probably outride both of us. LOL.
- Here's your sign... advcyclist--where in NC are you?
- VFcRuiser show off I like it. It looks mean.
- Here's your sign... Sounds like he was innocently asking if your '93 was also V4 like his later model 800. Maybe he likes to ride and doesn't like to read? From your description, he sounded pleasant enough and even said "cool". Personally,…
- Member down - roadpilot I'm very sorry to hear of his unfortunate accident. My best wishes for Bob's recovery. Do you have any details on what transpired? It might help others to understand what happened.
- went down today Sorry to hear about your mishap but glad you are ok. Those cagers are a highly unpredictable species!
- The Mother of All Squids - LOL This video was posted on another motorcycle forum. I laughed so hard I just about fell out of my chair. Make sure you watch all the way to the hilarious and fitting ending.
- Reached a milestone today! That is amazing. Your plastics & tank still look great too. I'm curious what you did to take care of your chain to get 50,000 miles on both of them? I recently sold my '94 750 with only a little more than 20,000 miles…
- Am I a jerk for not waving at trikes? Keep in mind, some of the trike riders have medical conditions and riding a trike is the only way they can ride. Heck, I'll even wave to scooters if they wave first. However, they only get the 1 finger wave, not the…
- Clutch & Brake bleeding - too much for me. Dealer an option? As with everything, there are good dealers who run honest competent shops and there are bad dealers who do shoddy work at inflated prices. Ask around and you can find out if you have a good shop in your area. It's…
- Went riding today, our friend Bill went down. Prayers needed. Very sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with Bill. I hope he heals quickly and fully!
