  1. Check This Out, A Honda Rcvfrr 7 Jul 2013 03:46 I found it on the (Tampa) Craigslist. sounds like the original owner/builder. There is more text that I didn't post.
  2. Check This Out, A Honda Rcvfrr 7 Jul 2013 02:24 I just came across this bike for sale on CL and thought you guys may enjoy looking at it. It's partly a VFR... I don't want to violate any rules by posting the link to a bike for sale, so here are the pics and the add…
  3. 2004 Running A Little Hot 13 Jun 2013 19:46 Change the temp gauge to ambient. Watching the coolant temp will drive you crazy. It it gets too hot it'll shut down before it burns up.
  4. 2004 Running A Little Hot 13 Jun 2013 01:24 I agree with the above. If it's been burped properly I'm guessing the ratio is slightly glycol heavy. For comparison sake My fan comes on @ 222* and turns off @ 209*. 225* is the hottest that I've seen in stop & go…
  5. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 2 Apr 2013 01:53 I always thought unplugged pair valves were disabled and not letting air thru the exhaust? I honestly never researched this, but was going by what I've read on here---->…
  6. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 18 Mar 2013 21:46 Your speedo will be further off than the odo. I think its 7-10% off ?
  7. Crazy bad gas mileage!!! 18 Mar 2013 21:11 I had been running the same mods + same gearing (15/43) with the addition of a K&N filter and was seeing 40-41 mpg religiously, 45 with a passenger. ( I guess I'm easier on the throttle) Lately I've gone back to stock…
  8. What Is Going On With My Rear Sprocket? 13 Feb 2013 23:51 I'm thinking I over tightened the chain, plus it has a bind at the master link. It was doomed from day one... I'm going to order a new chain and sprockets from sprocket center. What do you guys suggest, D.I.D. or RK ?
  9. What Is Going On With My Rear Sprocket? 12 Feb 2013 02:17 Thanks everyone. Unfortunately the shop that did the work is in Texas 1100 miles away, so it looks like its going to be lesson learned for me. This won't be the first time cheap parts have let me down. I'll replace the…
  10. What Is Going On With My Rear Sprocket? 12 Feb 2013 00:36 The chain is a TYC 530 HSO, The front sprocket i pulled off last week looks good. PBI 366 15t USA I have a JT 16 tooth on now Rear sprocket only says "43" unless it is stamped on the inside against the hub ? I'll post…
  11. What Is Going On With My Rear Sprocket? 11 Feb 2013 23:43 It's on the center stand and everything feels tight. No play in the swingarm or wheel bearings I wasn't the one who installed the chain or rear sprocket. It was done at a motorcycle shop who's owner was a huge VFR fan…
  12. What Is Going On With My Rear Sprocket? 11 Feb 2013 23:18 That sprocket is totally worn out, are ya sure it was replaced 5k ago , I say no way, even aluminum doesnt wear that fast. Id say it was never replaced 5 k ago? Yep, a new chain and sprockets were installed a little…
  13. What Is Going On With My Rear Sprocket? 11 Feb 2013 22:54 For the past few weeks I've been commuting 120 miles per day. My chain and sprockets were replaced about 5k ago. (new front 16 tooth up from a 15t last week) My chain has been needing adjustment every 300-400 miles…
  14. Going Back To A Stock 16 Tooth Front Sprocket 3 Feb 2013 04:46 I stopped at the local Honda dealer to see if they had a 17t in stock & they wanted $64 for it...I think I'll order one from sprocket center and use the other $40 for beer and gas. 16 tooth is on along with new spark…
  15. Going Back To A Stock 16 Tooth Front Sprocket 2 Feb 2013 11:10 Thanks VFR-sport, I was going to ask if anyone has run a 17t. It can't hurt to give it a try.
  16. Going Back To A Stock 16 Tooth Front Sprocket 2 Feb 2013 00:25 Yes, the stock front sprocket has a rubber isolator...at least on my 6th gen I was misinformed & ordered a JT 16t sprocket. It does not have a rubber isolator like the stocker. I'll install tomorrow after work and see…
  17. Going Back To A Stock 16 Tooth Front Sprocket 29 Jan 2013 00:24 Thanks, 16T ordered :1:
  18. Going Back To A Stock 16 Tooth Front Sprocket 28 Jan 2013 23:35 I've had my fun with the 15 tooth front cog, but it's time to return to stock. I'll be commuting 3hrs round trip daily for the next 5 weeks for a job. Will I run into any issues with chain length? I'm thinking 1 tooth…
  19. 6Th Gen: Stock Exhaust Modification Poll 15 Jan 2013 16:59 I bought my '04 with gutted cans so for some time I didn't have a comparison. After meeting my neighbor down the street with a bone stock '06 and hearing his bike, I'm now looking for a stock system to install on my…

  23. Hid Headlight Kit Recomendations? 8 Dec 2012 14:57 Anyone have an HID kit on their 6th gen that your happy with? I'm looking to purchase a kit from a reputable source, but prices seem to vary from manufacturers and they all claim to have the best kit? Thanks

  30. Painted my helmet RWB scheme 14 Oct 2012 00:17 I got tired of looking at my solid white HJC, so I used the RWB VFR as my inspiration and broke out the rattle cans. Not bad for a rookie. [image: rwb helmet.jpg]
  31. Clock and Trip Meters resetting on start up 7 Oct 2012 15:34 Mine did the same thing the other morning. I'm thinking its battery time.
  32. Hi ya from Newbe ( just bought 03 ) 4 Oct 2012 02:40 Mine also has a very slight rattle clutch out in Neutral, that's normal. The clutch is just free wheeling.
  33. Hi ya from Newbe ( just bought 03 ) 3 Oct 2012 11:53 I usually just carry my helmet with me, the under seat hooks are a lousy design. I have seen a lock that clamps on the rear foot peg bracket, but I haven't got a link..Welcome from another Floridian. I'm not far from…

  38. VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's 18 Sep 2012 01:47 Thanks for the play by play Delta. I have been secretly admiring the Sprint. I want to test ride one, but I'm afraid I may ride it home. :tour:

  41. VFR dash disappointing... 14 Sep 2012 05:11 Thanks for everyone's input, my temp reading is always a lot lower than actual, unless of course the bike is sitting in the sun... I had the bike in my 75* house, and it was reading low 60's. I'll see if I can…
  42. VFR dash disappointing... 14 Sep 2012 03:58 Call me a bit old school, but this digital dash is disappointing... Am I the only one that thinks this? The speedo is off , the odometer is off, the ambient temp is way off. I try to ignore the coolant temp, so I'm not…
  43. 15t front sprocket = better mpg??? 12 Sep 2012 18:42 Tire wear makes a big difference in speed and RPM as well. I had Q2's that were so flat i was mm from a blow out. I was doing prob 80 at vtech kick in in 6th gear. Now with new PR3's i am much MUCH lower RPM at those…

  45. 15t front sprocket = better mpg??? 11 Sep 2012 21:19 the 15t cog kept me in the 6000-6700 RPM range while cruising. You 'cruise' pretty fast :tour: I'm at 90-100 mph at that rpm range... just as I hit vtec in 6th gear. You either keep up or get ran over by tourists…
  46. 15t front sprocket = better mpg??? 9 Sep 2012 01:15 I took a ride to Orlando this afternoon to see a friend and according to my VFR trip odo it was 216 miles round trip. My GPS claimed 204 miles which I know is more accurate, as my truck odo sais the same when I make…
  47. 15t front sprocket = better mpg??? 8 Sep 2012 00:46 I haven't checked mileage with my GPS yet. I was going off the odo, That's why i was curious about the 15t effecting my readings. I have a phone app that tracks a trip, (my tracks) I just keep forgetting to turn it on…
  48. 15t front sprocket = better mpg??? 7 Sep 2012 22:36 I replaced my chain recently, and dropped down to a 15 front sprocket (and love it BTW !!!) and I was wondering if it efffects the speedo/odo accuracy? I know our speedo's are generally 8% off, but since I did the…
