All 23- For Sale: Red 2005 VFR800A Selling my solid 2005 VFR800 and wanted to post here first since this forum has been so good to me - Very Good Condition - bought her in Nov 2015 with 8,900 mi; now has 69,000. Selling this as well as my 2009 BMW F650GS…
- 2005 Starter relay connector meltdown. Thanks again - as always, very educational - I'm going to run a tank or two as-is, then try reconnecting the O2 sensors to see if it throws a code. If not, I'll ride for a few tanks and see if that'll get me closer to…
- 2005 Starter relay connector meltdown. Finally an update on my starter relay connector project! First, thanks again to all for the helpful advice and details. The parts finally came in, and I had ordered a replacement gasket for the Stator, and when I pulled…
- 2005 Starter relay connector meltdown. All outstanding tips & pics, so thank you! Since it's not exactly riding weather here, I may take that alternator cover off in the coming weeks. DannoXYZ - for that connector, do you recommend any parts site for that…
- 2005 Starter relay connector meltdown. If there's already a thread on this, I apologize but couldn't find it. My '05 has just over 40k miles on it, been a reliable bike, but after starting recently, it quit, and electrics went dead. Pulled the seat off, and…
- Wiring a Rapid Bike and a Voltage meter/USB charger Great - thanks - I saw that other thread, but your link is the best looking one I've seen...Appreciate it!
- Wiring a Rapid Bike and a Voltage meter/USB charger What's the make/model of that dual-usb voltmeter, and did you say you'd just do the voltmeter and the relay, not the switch?
- What type of riding do you use your VFR for? Calculon, 9/20/2018 at 7:42 PM There is the Yamaha FJ09 and now called the Tracer. Agree - when you throw ADV riding into the mix, the bike that tops the list there is the Triumph Tiger 800 - about as fast as the VFR…
- What type of riding do you use your VFR for? Teeing up a softball, here I think! I bought this knowing I can only get one bike, and there is no other bike that can do it all; possible exception is a Triumph Sprint. This year I've done an Ironbutt from Wichita to…
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations I just ordered a DID530ZVMX chain from Sprocket Center. Bought my 2005 about 18 months ago, and on the center stand, when I put it in first, the chain bounces around something fierce. Just over 20k miles (8,400 when I…
- New donation from TedJake Hi TedJake, Thank you for your donation of $25.00. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
- Poll: VFR Rider Ages 54 and on my 2nd stock 6th gen. Like many, started on a Kawasaki G5 100, then shipped overseas and bought a new '83 Yamaha 750 Seca, then a '76 Yamaha XT500. Loooong dry spell until I could get the VFR I'd been drooling…
- Gasoline Interesting thread - looking forward to more responses. Our local Quiktrip's serve ethanol-free premium, currently for $2.05 a gallon. My research shows that with e10, I get ~10% drop in fuel economy, and while math…
- Power Commander Maps 05 PCV individual cylinder Dyno Tune Thanks - I didn't mean to hijack ScubaSteve's thread - the PCV fixed most of the bad mpg prob. Just refueled after one tank - got 150 miles on it, at @ 33 mpg with the Dynojet map. Question still stands on the autotune…
- Power Commander Maps 05 PCV individual cylinder Dyno Tune Do you need to have the Autotune installed with the PCV to use this map? I have a Two Bros exhaust and improved air filter, otherwise stock and my gas mileage is awful @ 20mpg. thinking I'm just running rich. I just…
- Stolen & Wrecked / Repair Or Replace? "Since it was a 0 mph wreck, it appears all the damage is cosmetic" How do you figure that was zero mph? ...... Just plain sucks either way. I'm with Switchblade and would find a way to start over. Well, nearly…
- Stolen & Wrecked / Repair Or Replace? Every post echoes all the voices in my head - ASSUMING all damage is cosmetic, I think I'm going to try to keep it for the reasons mentioned above. I talked to the shop giving the estimate over the weekend, and told…
- Stolen & Wrecked / Repair Or Replace? Yes - I'm told there was a guy on the bike and a guy in the truck. Was also told there is video and witnesses. Will happily post mugshots if they get 'em. I was looking on ebay and there are a ton of injection molding…
- Stolen & Wrecked / Repair Or Replace? Mondays....Was working away when someone came in to my office parking garage, and coasted my bike down the ramp and down the sidewalk, where a pickup truck was awaiting. They took a rope and tied it to where the fork…
- 2003 Engine Stalling Fantastic suggestions, all - THANK YOU! I always start at the cheapest fixes first, so last night I drained the tank (@ 2 gallons), put in fresh non-ethanol fuel and some Sta-Bil. Bike idled fine as I put everything…
- 2003 Engine Stalling I will check tonight -
- 2003 Engine Stalling All - I've scanned the 6gen posts for a similar topic and couldn't find a match, so I'm starting what I hope will be a short thread. My 2003 has been running flawlessly since I bought it in 2012. About 3 weeks ago, when…
- Finally A Vfr800! And A Tv Pilot Beautiful '02 - Welcome - I picked up an '03 after a similar hiatus. Be happy to tag along for a bit or help out if you're passing through KC!
