All 47- Which One? Very nice. Of course post some pics :). I scoped out a 99 today and walked away. Just wasn't feel'n it. Sadly, I may go the GSX650F route as the stars seem to be aligning for it. We'll see after a test ride this…
- Which One? $500.00 savings for a farkled bike + an adventure. e-Transfer/payPal a deposit and get going man! Sounds like both bikes are great. The 01 also has the nice coloured silver rims :).
- BLS Lowering Blocks/Brake Pedal Did you adjust the rear brake to it's lowest position? Generally I was not a fan as it kicks your feet out by the block width so I ditched mine.
- AWE VFR800 sport cruiser custom Now that, my friend, is really cool. Do it just because you want to. Excellent !!
- Help Identifying Trouble Points in Buying a 5th Gen There were 2. I responded to them both within 30 mins. The first one was great with Sargent, Helibars + luggage for 2k. The second one never got back to me and seems to live right around the corner. Both completely…
- Help Identifying Trouble Points in Buying a 5th Gen Hopefully you were the lucky one to grab the Scarborough bike. It was very well equipped and looked like a well maintained and appreciated ride. I tried but couldn't get out there today and it sold. A tell-tale sign for…
- New guy Toronto area Welcome aboard from south Mississauga. The 5th's are nice bikes and other than the connector craziness going on under the air box, the are generally easy to work with.
- Black Or White? Really diggin' the present setup. Draws your eye to the rear rim, then back to the front where you notice all the silver bits. Somehow as well, does not look in any way unfinished!
- Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread VifferCrab And one day later, I have this! Came next day. Wow! [image: ba36b1194cd9992adfa1ef81ccd9ed93.jpg] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Nice looking tricycle :).
- Talk Me Out Of A New $8K, 8Th Gen - Or Not 2 bikes very similar. Unless you are setting one up for touring and one for sporting about, sounds like something is going to be neglected and ultimately sold. Not like you have a cruiser and a VFR. I'm talking you out…
- Transmission Verification TOO FUNNY !! If reading through the gearing troubleshooting from the first post, you'd may have observed that in fact I'm getting a "false" neutral between 1st & 2nd, and a "real" neutral between 5th & 6th .... Yep, I'd…
- Transmission Verification What's the torch for, set the bike on fire in case they don't move ... :). Chain is not hooked up so I'm turning the crank manually with a rachet and reaching around to feel the output-shaft turning. All gears are…
- Transmission Verification Probably best to be taking the plates out for inspection anyway.
- Transmission Verification Well, I was hoping not to have to put a bike back together, only to pull it apart again until I had a "sign". The second owner never had the bike running but stated that the transmission was stuck so he took off the…
- Transmission Verification KevCarver Sounds like a clutch hydraulics issue to me. I was leaning toward the clutch myself. Thinking about the original owner: starts the bike up in neutral, pulls in the clutch (which of course doesn't engage), pops…
- Transmission Verification Picked up a 5th with a transmission issue. I'm an entire person away from the original owner, and temporary owner #2 decided to simply start taking stuff off the bike based on owner #1's observations. Owner #1. 65k…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project "Thank you B4V4...without finding your ad and without you taking the initial steps to get this bike going...I wouldn't be here. Thanks for the opportunity to bring a VFR back to life and my lost passion to ride back in…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project Very nice job indeed!!! I was going to post something last weekend to see where you were at. Glad you were out testing! I just sold my 6th on Tuesday ... :).
- 1999 Vfr800 Project So, we getting any "together" pics shortly? 16 this weekend!
- What's The Hottest 5Th Generation Can? Post Your Pics.... [image: s4xje1.jpg] Posting pics of 'ol blu still breaks my heart ... :).
- Plasti Dip Anyone who is expecting a paint-like finish from plastidip needs to get their heads checked... Looks good, OP. Well like my Aussie friend, I guess I need to set up an appointment for not knowing what the specifics are.…
- Plasti Dip Save it to an Aussie to tell it like it is ... :). Sorry dude, but was " thinking " the same thing when I looked at this last night. I'm not aware of the process for Plasti Dip but can you wet sand the product between…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project Picked the bike up out of storage today - I know a little ahead of reality but just couldn't resist. Get going man !
- 01 Vfr 800 Value Estimate Firstly, beautiful bike - I owned a blue 2000. Really my favourite ride thus far in my quest for the perfect bike - my '03 is really growing on me :). Your issue as I see it will be the kms. The GTA has this phobia…
- 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 support of this, after some digging it…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project Wow on the paint! And you thought an assembly line worker in China would put more effort into their work than you have. Oh ye of little faith!
- 1999 Vfr800 Project On the GTA forum here, there were several painters offering 1 colour + clear for under 1k. As additional advice on installing the aftermarket product, connect everything up a loose as possible before tightening…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project Sorry I didn't see the post sooner! I have experience with 2 sets of aftermarkets. Although significantly better than the pics supplied, the general quality of material, bracket strength and alignment were all an issue.…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project NOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me say from personal experience they are a complete waste of $. Certainly after all the work you've done, the bike won't be worth squat! Sorry :unsure2:
- My Woman Is Really Cool! You do of course know what sarcasm is don't you ... ? :)
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr marriedman If you are talking about the 6th gen, they were not marketed as VFR's. They were only called Interceptors. Well not exactly correct. Although my '07 had no markings other than the "Interceptor" on the tail…
- Looking For Vfr Riders In Southwestern Ontario Greetings. Southwest GTA here. I know of another member right around the corner here. 2 more in North York so we're around. Don't know how much extended riding I'll be doing though on the VFR as is my local ya-hoo bike,…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project rangerscott69 For that much work, I would have paid a lot less. Good to see the bike not rotting away though. I love armchair critics! $600.00 for the bike, $700.00 in parts, $100.00 in taxes. Please let me know where I…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project pres589 Looks like a great project. Shame that the previous owner didn't at least try to leave the bike in better shape for the next guy. Well, you should have seen it when I got it ... Anyway, doing a great job!…
- Aftermarket fairing kits They are NOT OEM quality to be sure. No you won't have to "melt the pieces into shape", but you will have to re-work your mounting points and be happy when they line up from a "good enough" perspective. As stated…
- Should I Stop Riding After Noticing The Oil Level Is Over The Maximum? joshsvoss e. While the bike was running, the oil level was in between the marks. But as the three minutes went by the level went higher and higher until it was over the maximum mark, and there was only a sliver of clear…
- 800Fi Gravity Feed Veefer800Canuck Oh that poor bike!!! You've got that right. The previous owner dropped the bike into a car, uninsured pushed it home, draped a barbecue cover over it in the back driveway and left it there ... for 8…
- 800Fi Gravity Feed That's what I was thinking when I couldn't get a sustained run. I regularly use a funnel & hose, but as you stated, never set it up with FI. Thanks!
- 800Fi Gravity Feed Buried this question in another topic but thought I'd add this to make it clearer. I have the tank off and wondering about simply gravity-feeding the gas line - whether there is enough pressure to keep the bike going. I…
- New Owner Of A 2000 - Any "necessary" Mods? According to the link posted, 65% failure rate on the 98-99 and 15% on the 00-01.
- New Owner Of A 2000 - Any "necessary" Mods? How can I check to see if my bike is updated or not? Is there a site where I can plug in my VIN or something? Some good reading ... http://www.bikersora...ead.php?t=76159 SH579A-11 = old SH689DA = honda update SH579C-12…
- New Owner Of A 2000 - Any "necessary" Mods? The R/R thing is sounding scary. As mentioned I believe you already have the update, but you can find your serial/model number and ensure you have the update. I owned an 00 for over 2 years & 20k kms without any issues…
- Are Heli Bars For Me? At 6'1" myself I found the heli's to be a catch 22. More comfy scooching around town, able to look around a little easier, but once highway bound was too much "in-the-wind". Overall though I'd say my experience with…
- Need Help Removing Fuel Injectors On A 99 Vfr Sounds like everyone is trying to dissuade you from removing the injectors. I've got a restore running on 2 cylinders after sitting outside & uncovered for 10 years (and no, it's not coil related). Please, if you decide…
- Sargent Vs Corbin: A 6Th Gen Aftermarket Seat Comparison Owned both, 6th gen Sargent & 5th gen Corbin. Both were equally comfortable butt found the sliding about on the Corbin a little unsettling - not that it was an issue, my head just thought it might be.
- 2000 Whit A Odd Problem The bike going dark when trying to start then coming back to life and starting but with a zeroed odo and clock are the exact symptoms I had when my battery was going bad on my y2k. I changed the battery and it has been…
- 2000 Honda VFR Repsol Build Such a waste of a beautiful yellow bike. Nasty comment ... Just committed to a downed "project" and was contemplating a clone of your work. Liked it very much!
