  1. ca licensing - need stock muffler? 30 Jul 2016 19:22 You shouldn't. I was able get mine registered a couple of years ago with an after market exhaust. Bike came from Reno, NV. CA DMV required that it be inspected before they would register it, but they did the inspection…
  2. Gasoline 22 Mar 2016 19:04 I wish pure gas were available here, but it's not.
  3. 12Oclocklabs Speedodrd 5 Jan 2016 23:27 Thanks for reminding me. I think I still have one of these nib that I never used and need to sell. I might just be interested...
  4. Waterless Coolant 4 Jan 2016 16:30 I just got done reading up on this coolant and it looks very promising. Jay Leno even endorses it. I may switch the VFR over to it on the next flush. http://www.evanscooling.com/ The coolant is supposed to last the…
  5. Mis-Manufactured Galfer Brake Pads 23 Dec 2015 22:48 jeffyjeff I took the suspect brake pads back to Cycle Gear today, but brand new ones off the shelf had the same pin hole size, and the caliper slide pin would not fit those, either. So I opened up the slide pin hole…
  6. New Helmet Design 18 Dec 2015 23:05 I watched a video and it looks like a pretty cool idea. With the way it wraps around the lower part of your head, there is much less wind noise, and they claim less chance of neck damage. I'll be looking into them…
  7. First Time Buying Rubber Shoes......no Idea Where To Start 14 Dec 2015 22:31 oh boy...... you couldn't pay me to put a used tire on my bike.... a track tire is also going to be incredibly soft and you'll burn through it computing in no time. +1 Tires and chains = too important to try to save a…
  8. 2017 Rvf1000 V4 10 Dec 2015 02:28 I really like the article, but I'm not holding my breath.
  9. First Time Buying Rubber Shoes......no Idea Where To Start 9 Dec 2015 17:55 RedRicer duccmann Cant go wrong with Michelin PR3...or for more wet riding PR4's...have had both... superb handling +1 +2 Other tires that have received high praise around here are the Pirelli Angel GT, Bridgestone TC30…
  10. Wtf Is A Fusar? Group Buy 23 Nov 2015 07:04 Subscribed. I like the 2 minute capture feature in the event of an accident. That could really come in handy with today's distracted drivers.
  11. The Official Oil Thread 22 Nov 2015 05:23 HughJebolzak BusyLittleShop Baileyrock What about my Oil Logic ? I agree... My experience is that Honda can be trusted... if they recommend in writing a 8K oil interval then it will meet and exceed your mileage…
  12. New Fz1 With Crossplane Engine 19 Nov 2015 22:23 Yeah, that front end is funky (in a bad way), it reminds me of "5 is alive" from the short circuit movie. I like everything else about the bike.
  13. Rear Suspension & Broken Chains 3 Nov 2015 20:07 Rice No experience with broken chain - Thankfully. Only thing that comes to mind, is your chain is too tight. It really doesn't fully explain breakage (IMHO), since you need LOTS of force to brake one of those chains,…
  14. I Think Its The R/r 10 Oct 2015 00:49 Cogswell The only other thing I can think of is to check that the 20 to 60v AC is getting past the connector and making it to the R/R, and that no charging voltage is making out of the R/R past the output connector.…
  15. K&n Oil Filter 5 Oct 2015 23:52 See post #7 and #12 of this thread. I'm a Purolator fan, but any listed those posts are excellent. I like the longer filters for the extra filtering material, added oil capacity (yes, it's minimal), and added external…
  16. Northern California Quick Trip 5 Oct 2015 18:31 Bump... Sounds like a good route. I have been on CA20 in a SUV and remember it would have been much more fun in a sports car or on a bike.
  17. My Vfr Story 24 Sep 2015 01:29 Congratulations, on the loss and the gain!
  18. 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? 23 Sep 2015 02:53 Ok. Your idle is a little low. The manual calls for 1200, and I usually set mine to 1400 too reduce engine braking and eliminate stalls when pulling in the clutch (weird problem, but the higher idle fixed it for me).…
  19. 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? 22 Sep 2015 21:04 What RPM is your idle set to? What is the battery voltage with the engine off and the key off? What is the battery voltage with the engine off and the key on? What brand RR are you working with? Is the stator stock or…
  20. Worst Week Ever? You Decide! 21 Sep 2015 23:08 Probably not the worst week ever, I mean you walked away from both incidences, but sure as hell not the best week ever. Sorry dude, laying them down sucks. But, you know there are only 2 types of riders, those that have…
  21. Cannonball 500 -September 20, 2015 21 Sep 2015 22:58 VFRpwr Wow EhViffer that is a feat and a coincidence - I was out Sunday on a few of those roads too! No wonder there was so much bike traffic (large groups) on 507/36/28! - Let me guess, the sand was found on…
  22. 2003 Engine Stalling 21 Sep 2015 19:31 Could be a voltage/battery issue, or it could be a ground issue, or the kill switch/starter switch might just need to be cleaned and re-lubed.
  23. Plug Replacement -- Irridiums Worth It? 19 Sep 2015 19:55 I am a fan of the iridium plugs. They definitely last longer. I would say they are good for 25 to 50 thousand miles in a bike, and 50 to 80 thousand miles in a car/truck. I would venture to say that people that switch…
  24. Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread 16 Sep 2015 01:09 I can't say for sure, but the center of the speedo drive looks like it's pushed too far onto the cable. Like they didn't line up the sprocket bolt and the cable end, and just force the sprocket cover back on, damaging…
  25. Hybrid Vfr= 5Th Gen With A 6Th Gen Subframe 15 Sep 2015 01:36 I think that's the first time I've seen a close up of the silver paint. Wow! Up close that is stunning!
  26. 01 Vfr 800 Value Estimate 12 Sep 2015 04:02 Yeah, but the lawyers have asked me to keep a lid on things while they hash it all out. I'll create a new thread after it's all wrapped up, with pictures and everything.
  27. 01 Vfr 800 Value Estimate 11 Sep 2015 19:49 Allstate just did a post accident appraisal on my 99, and valued the bike at $3750. And that's on a bike that has 96000 miles on the odometer! But I've got new tires, chain, sprockets, upgraded suspension, and a Corbin…
  28. Broke Down Placerville Ca 11 Sep 2015 18:48 Have you tried these guys? http://www.ranchomotorcycle.com/#2564 They are on the south side of Sacramento.
  29. Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread 10 Sep 2015 18:31 It looks like they did an OUTSTANDING job on those wheels! I'm liking your paint design, too.
  30. I´m Now A 3Rd Gen Owner 10 Sep 2015 17:54 Wow, the white wheels and the black paint really do look nice when they are all cleaned up! :fing02:
  31. 2004 Vfr800 Charging System Questions 8 Sep 2015 17:36 Following, as I'd like to try the SH775 as my next R/R. The idea of the R/R taking only as much current from the stator as the system needs seems like a great way to keep the stator cool and extend its life.
  32. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 4 Sep 2015 02:27 Great photos Brian!
  33. Yama Fz-09 4 Sep 2015 02:19 The FJ-09 (the FZ-09's big brother) is on my short list as an N+1 if I should run into some kind of a cash windfall. As far as the bike's faults: The seating is pretty easy to fix by reshaping/re-stuffing the foam and…
  34. Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread 2 Sep 2015 21:01 Ahhhh, got it. The wheel comes from the factory powder coated, correct? When they strip that off, then re powerdercoat it, it's a net zero, I'd think. Unless that area is left bare metal from the factory? I see your…
  35. Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread 2 Sep 2015 20:00 Taking the 8 spoke to have junk tire removed, tomorrow, then headed out to powder coat. I then have an appt moved up on this Friday to have the front wheel removed, tire removed, and wheel broken down. I'll drop that…
  36. Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread 1 Sep 2015 04:19 Nope, keep the updates comming.
  37. I´m Now A 3Rd Gen Owner 31 Aug 2015 21:35 Why the change?
  38. Time For All Dogs To Be Dead 23 Aug 2015 20:39 Subscribed! I like your writing style and am envious of you, sounds like an awesome adventure.
  39. Hybrid Vfr= 5Th Gen With A 6Th Gen Subframe 23 Aug 2015 20:18 What's with the teaser picture? Only one angle and wonky lighting, come on man...
  40. Yoshi Style Velocity Stacks 23 Aug 2015 20:00 Highside that is some nice looking work there!
  41. Ram-Mount Stem Ball 21 Aug 2015 16:11 This might be just what you're looking for: http://www.vfrdiscus...tive-ram-mount/
  42. Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread 20 Aug 2015 20:31 Does the new helmet have the "transitions" shield? I'm strongly considering one.
  43. Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread 6 Aug 2015 04:17 Well it seems obvious to me... She's from the land of HOT!
  44. Single Nut Rear Axle Conversion - 6Th Gen 30 Jul 2015 17:57 That oozes awesomeness!
  45. New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well 30 Jul 2015 17:47 ^ were you making some kind of a point here? (If so it went right over my head.)
  46. 99 White Vfr 28 Jul 2015 21:48 All bikes look great. White seems to be the best color that never was for the years it did not come from the factory. I have never liked white but a white VFR speaks to me. I am for sure going to powder coat the wheels…
  47. Vfr1200... I Did It My Way 26 Jul 2015 10:59 Very nice. I really like the left exit exhaust and the way out shows off the wheel.
  48. Visit To Bmw Dealer Saved Me 20K 24 Jul 2015 21:19 ridered duccmann Ridered, think Brian F is selling his 1200 I want a manual. Just missed one here in So Cal for $7,000 with only 5K on the clock. Seems everyone wants one now that Honda took it away. zupatun [image:…
  49. Hydrolocked By Left Rear Cylinder 17 Jul 2015 20:26 Time to reverse engineer the problem. Start first with air pressure. Take out the spark plug and inject air through the plug hole, and observe where the air escapes. If just compressed air is inconclusive, try using a…
  50. Picture Thread 4 Jul 2015 16:32 vtwindr [image: 10487205_10152832231278974_2057476188742] [image: 10888765_10153071509663974_6454821404413] [image: 11143117_10153537222163974_1654581391205] That middle one could be a calendar photo!
