  1. Does anyone know where my old Viffer is? (yellow 2000) 26 Sep 2019 14:54 mello dude, 9/24/2019 at 3:58 PM Hey dude....that 5th gen was sooo beat to shit..... you really want it back? .. I guess we are all sentimental fooles..... I often wonder where my old 4th gen is.... :biggrin: It was no…
  2. Does anyone know where my old Viffer is? (yellow 2000) 24 Sep 2019 14:45 Thanks for that link Cogswell. Looks like the guy I sold my bike still had it in 2014. Nothing past that though. Odd that it doesn't list the mileage from when I sold it to him though. Really wish I could find that bike…
  3. Does anyone know where my old Viffer is? (yellow 2000) 23 Sep 2019 21:35 I tried to find my old 5th gen just a little while back. I sold it to a fellow forum member from my Nighthawk days. I tried his old phone number and email address, but they no longer worked. I found him on Facebook, but…
  4. Giving up on Honda / Honda Giving up on us? 29 Jan 2019 14:46 10 hours ago, lazyeye Its kinda like all of us waiting for them to release a real update to the Fireblade , which will probably never happen. I just read recently that a Fireblade update is coming. A new type of VTEC…
  5. Any 6.5 gen VFR without a RR or Stator Failure? Mileage? 2 Jan 2019 14:57 mello dude, 12/30/2018 at 4:53 PM I fixed a 2007 with 14.5K and stator dead..... Both the R/R and the stator. Man, that stator was toast! [image: 2007 VFR800 Stator.jpg]
  6. Motorcycle addict from Arkansas USA 17 Dec 2018 15:54 I think you may find that the 5th gen VFR (98-01) to be a very different feeling bike compared to the 6th gen (02-09). I did not like my '07 either but I still miss my '99. Anyone who restores and rescues a machine is…
  7. Back on a VFR!! 25 Oct 2018 13:30 6 hours ago, squirrelman Can't ya just keep the phone in your backpack or pocket ?? it's a distraction nobody needs. If you use your phone as a GPS and are touring, they are not a distraction but a nice accessory.…
  8. Honda vs police helicopter! 25 May 2018 13:09 The guy is supposed to be a squid and was only going to the gas station for a drink, right? Then doesn't it seem odd that he was in full leathers, gauntlet gloves, and armored boots? Something very And who in the hell…
  9. Sw-Motech Alu-Rack Topcase Adapter Plate Failed! 29 Jan 2018 14:15 bayarearider - just saw your post on this thread when I came to shoare it on another thread. Your situation sounds like a mirror image of mine! How did everything turn out for you? Did you end up replacing the case and…
  10. Unchain My Bike... Or So I Thought... 9 Nov 2017 15:22 8 minutes ago, adkfinn Way out of my depth here admittedly, but you say 'this doesn't help Larry'... why not? If it solved the belt length issue, wouldn't swapping a 6th gen swingarm onto a 5th gen be an easy and…
  11. The Ace Of Spades Baltics Tour 2016 14 Aug 2017 21:13 That bike is utterly stunning! You've always had my admiration, now you have my envy as well!
  12. The Ace Of Spades Baltics Tour 2016 14 Aug 2017 13:49 Holy cow Dutchy! When did you get the RC-51?! That thing is gorgeous!
  13. Should Have Called it a Day 31 Jul 2017 13:56 I've taken a small bird to the chest while at speed and it hurt like hell, I cannot imagine what a bird of that size would have felt like. Really glad you are unscathed, sorry about the bike. But you realize it could…
  14. Cheap eBay lowering pegs 22 Jul 2017 16:28 That was a big concern of mine in the beginning. The whole reason I started looking at other bikes years ago was because of the inherent buzziness of the inline 4. I sure as heck didn't want that on my VFR, so I went…
  15. Cheap eBay lowering pegs 19 Jul 2017 00:04 Just to clarify or expand on my previous post, I bought the BLS blocks for my 5th gen and loved them! My 6th gen came with the adjustable pegs. I would have bought a pair of blocks for my 7th gen, but no one ever…
  16. Cheap eBay lowering pegs 18 Jul 2017 13:55 I had the MRA version of those footpegs on my 6th gen. Hated them. While the ability to adjust them was nice, the fact is that they moved your foot out away from center. So when shifting gears or braking, you would have…

  18. The Tale of My 100,000 Mile VFR800 17 Jul 2017 13:47 69 and looking to buy a VFR for the first time? Damn, you're awesome! I have a friend who is 74 and for the past 15 years he has been on ST's and FJR's because he wants the comfort. I have owned a 5th gen VFR800 (98-01)…
  19. Help! Questions about a vfr with 27,000 miles 17 Jul 2017 13:31 I wouldn't go so far as to say "unique", but the RR & Stator is the weak point on just about all Hondas from the 90's and early 00's. The VTEC engagement is allegedly more pronounced in the early 6th gens and that was…
  20. Sw-Motech Alu-Rack Topcase Adapter Plate Failed! 28 Jun 2017 17:13 I have a late night tonight, but I will try and get out to the garage and snap a picture if you think it helpful.
  21. Sw-Motech Alu-Rack Topcase Adapter Plate Failed! 28 Jun 2017 17:12 I ended up just using stainless cap head bolts. I never take the top case off anymore it seemed anyway. Also pay attention to where the arms attach to the bike. I lost one bolt there and decided to do the same thing as…
  22. 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 22 May 2017 14:47 I only got to stop by briefly, but it was really cool to see so many VFR's. Far too long I was the only one around except whenever scguy & I get together. I wish I could have stayed longer and talked to more people…
  23. Posi-Tap 16 May 2017 02:30 Aha, I found the picture I was looking for earlier: [image: ec92c51f6b6babaa84ca5ae17fc1ca02.jpg] The orange bit is the jumper to tap into the tail light for switched power. The other one was the battery to FuzeBlock…
  24. Posi-Tap 15 May 2017 13:35 Just curious, where are you wanting to use these? The reason I ask; when I added a FuzeBlock I was going to use a PosiTap and a friend of mine whose opinion on all things electrical I trust very much insisted that…
  25. Interesting Beginner Bikes 8 May 2017 12:57 I'll second the Hawk GT. Huge community support and parts should still be available today. The motor lives on in the NTV650 over in Europe I believe. The NTV650 is very docile and sometimes called "underpowered". The…
  26. Should dealers provide a bike setup service...? 25 Apr 2017 12:57 19 hours ago, LucaBrasi It only makes sense they should provide this service. Riders would be safer, and likely happier with their bikes. I think this is the problem. Most dealerships don't really care about the rider…
  27. Should dealers provide a bike setup service...? 23 Apr 2017 01:08 http://daughertymotorsports.com Probably the most used suspension guru on VFRD. Fantastic work at great prices. Can't recommend him enough.
  28. Should dealers provide a bike setup service...? 21 Apr 2017 13:07 9 hours ago, XRM My wife and I both ride VFRs and it would have been great to trained experienced professionals to fit our bikes to us, such as; seat height, pegs, bar reach and suspension sag at the very least.... lol,…
  29. Stolen VFR 17 Apr 2017 14:09 01ragtop, 4/16/2017 at 0:33 AM Speaking of weight. I know a large contingency of VFR owners want the VFR to lose some weight. After riding the 675, I'm not sure that's the best idea. The wind, even slight, blows the…
  30. VTEC Header Tetris Help 13 Mar 2017 13:12 lol, well at least you found a silver lining!
  31. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 6 Mar 2017 15:01 It's strange Soupbean, I've seen at least 3 here in Dayton. But never when I am on the bike. I know one is ridden by a smaller framed woman, one by an older looking gentleman, and one squid. That last one always makes…
  32. Made the VFR800 to1200 Swap - First Impressions vs What I Read 3 Mar 2017 15:57 @soupbean A member on this site, @veeefour made a cruise control for our 7th gens! The price is fair, but enough to warrant permission from the wife. I want it so bad it's not even funny.
  33. 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 27 Feb 2017 21:40 SCguy, 2/20/2017 at 9:01 AM I was already planning to be staying and riding with a group from another forum and basing out of Kickstand Lodge in Stecoah, NC. No adventure riding this this year dammit!
  34. PASSWORD WORKSHOP MANUAL 6TH GEN 4 Jan 2017 15:19 Here is the one that I have already done the OCR and bookmarks.
  35. What luggage actually looks good on a 5th gen??? 3 Jan 2017 19:13 Oh no Dutchy! When did this happen? Is she OK?
  36. Looking at a used VFR1200 DCT 15 Dec 2016 19:10 bitNine, 12/14/2016 at 9:45 AM Seriously?? Well that's news to me. I am definitely speaking of the lack of power up to about 6k RPMs, then suddenly the thing takes off like a liter+ bike should. What is the power limit…
  37. Looking at a used VFR1200 DCT 14 Dec 2016 01:54 I'm betting the jump in power because of the power limit in 1st & 2nd gear is what may be confusing him in regards to VTEC. It is pretty noticeable.
  38. Which rack is this? 7 Dec 2016 13:47 2 hours ago, JZH It's definitely not a GiVi Monorack, nor is it a Shad (I have both). Possibly Kappa? Ciao, Kappa=Givi. They are identical because they are owned by the same family. I believe the Givi owner's daughter…
  39. Looking at a used VFR1200 DCT 1 Dec 2016 19:01 Whatever you do, report back with your impressions of the bike!
  40. Looking at a used VFR1200 DCT 1 Dec 2016 18:54 Man, I swear I have seen that bike listed for sale before... maybe over at VFRWorld. If it is the bike I think it is, it was babied but the guy had too many bikes or something or other. From the pictures it looks…
  41. 1200 test ride? 8 Nov 2016 14:24 Actually, I've never heard of the place. But I am always up for a new destination! I'll have to check it out next trip.
  42. 1200 test ride? 7 Nov 2016 15:21 My schedule is pretty busy with wife/kids/work, etc... but for a fellow VFR rider and Indiana boy I would be happy to offer a test ride on my 1200. Depending on where you are in Indiana, I may be able to meet you or you…
  43. NEVER STOP LEARNING 1 Nov 2016 13:51 Thanks for the reply Timmy. Another thing I would like to know; what do you think would be the "best" bike for the motorcycle cop? I don't mean brand bias or anything like that, but what bike would offer the comfort and…
  44. NEVER STOP LEARNING 31 Oct 2016 14:49 I've heard that the training is extremely difficult, but knowing that an accomplished rider such as yourself confirm that is a bit surprising. Just curious, since you found it hard and you specifically mentioned the…
  45. Mint 2000 Model 27 Oct 2016 13:31 21 hours ago, Duc2V4 Wasn't the restriction something that only affected the early models of the 1200? I thought this was for the first two model years and was resolved (for the lack of a better term) on the later…
  46. Returning Rider: VFR 800 or 1200? 26 Oct 2016 13:54 21 hours ago, MsRN98 I was expecting people to criticize my choice to buy a bike I haven't actually touched or ridden. That actually happens quite often! As for the suspension upgrade from Jamie D, it is totally worth…
  47. I Replaced My Stator Today...and.... 14 Oct 2016 14:37 The only *bad* thing about the R/R a PITA was running the wiring from the stator to the R/R through the V of the engine. When mello_dude and I did my 6th gen, we (he) beefed up the wiring and replaced all the…
  48. I Replaced My Stator Today...and.... 13 Oct 2016 14:42 10 hours ago, mello dude I had to change out marriedman's stator on his 2007 at 14K miles. Its seems that '07s do have a stator life problem based on the number of threads on them.... It was a pain in the ass to do the…
  49. Opinions 98 vfr800 13 Oct 2016 14:39 Just FYI, those are Helibars on that bike. So you will be a little more upright than stock. Not a bad thing if you are transitioning from a cruiser to a sport tourer. Charging system has probably been upgraded if the…
  50. Why Did Suzuki and Honda Choose a Screamer vs Crossplane Crank Engine 13 Oct 2016 14:31 23 minutes ago, jhenley17 The only unattractive motorcycle noises I've heard came from parallel twins. I don't know about that... those damned Harley's that sound as though they won't stay running are pretty awful.…
