Last 50 of 85- Changed Color As I said on another forum, I think you have been out in the Sun too much.
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question No John, it does not matter which model you have, but its only some bikes that suffer with this, I personally have not had a issue with mine, I tend to remove the pads every 4,000 miles, and give the pistons and…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question Hi john, thanks for the heads up, what the fook happened there I don't know, but you could be right on your first thought. What I was trying to print in the first place was. On your first test ride, just hold on,…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question It turned up today, I'll plug it in tomorrow as the weather is due to pick up and see how it goes. Did you mean to put something in reply there matey? haha :) While I have you, can you confirm if the caliper seizing…

- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question So, can anyone give me a yes/no answer then - will the Z-bomb at all fuck with a/f ratio - as far as I'm concerned it's just telling the bike it's in another gear, so should be of no consequence. Right? The Z-bomb, was…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question The fueling on the later bikes, are far better than the fueling on the 2010-11 model. Honda addressed this by modifying the header pipes, and also the fueling map. The later model also has more bottom end, not a lot…
- Motogp 2016 Season....with Spoilers Well the bitterness between the two, is going to carry on throughout the 2016 season, lets just hope neither of them gets hurt, but it is looking more than likely that one or both will.
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts On the Australian website, item No 1 is a new prop-shaft, I can't see that being any different on the American or Canadian re-call.
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts johnlondon Sweet, thanks for the info! I'll let you know how I get on. No problem.
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts Just to make sure, go to your nearest Honda dealer, when you know the re-calls in the UK have started, I will let you know, as soon as I know. As regards to your 350 mile journey, that should not be a problem. For minds…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts johnlondon I would absolutely be getting my money back. Charging £xxx/$xxx for work that is a known fault is more than enough grounds to request the money back. Either way, they've spent/would have spent the time…
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts RoystonRocket2 hvfrdave RoystonRocket2 Spoke with the dealer I purchased my 2013 (new) from and they say there are no recalls on my model. They also said they're unaware of any recall. Don't take any notice of your main…

- Dmr Sag Reference Decided to measure sag today on the 1200. Had DMr respring and valve my stock forks and shock back in November. I bolted them up and headed out for a long road trip. It was such an improvement with Jamie's settings and…
- Anyone Have Something Positive On The Vfr1200? Yes, but that's where you are in control of what you spend. :smile2:
- Anyone Have Something Positive On The Vfr1200? There is nothing that the VFR1200 does badly. :smile2:
- Intake Valve Carbon Build Up For your Information: This ins not a single failure! I experienced it twice. My first 1200f Engine said goodbeye after only 24000 KM, indicaded Cole in all in-Vents. My 2nd VFR (Model 2014) has trouble after only 6000KM…
- Progressive Vs Linear Rear Shock Spring Linear springs, always for me. :smile2:
- Vfr1200 And Traffic Filtering Just take care when filtering, because the panniers are a lot wider than the outside of the mirrors, that's why the Police VFR1200's have slimmer cases on than stock VFR1200's. Any idea where can I find panniers fitted…

- Don't Cry For Me Argentina Spoiler Motorcycle racing, I have to say is in my blood, and over the years, certain riders have left their mark, Barry Sheene, Mike Hailwood, Agostini, John Surtees, Kenny Roberts, just to name a few, that I personally think…
- Resonator Removal? I have been running with the resonator bottles removed since I did the valve check, and to be honest I have not noticed any difference at all, whether with or without the resonator bottles. :smile:

- Havent Been Here A While. Any Fixes For The Touchy Throttle By Wire In First Yet? How much free play have you got on the throttle, you'll be surprised how much difference it makes, I have mine set with next to nothing of free play. But for safety reasons if and when you do this, start the engine, and…
- No 2015 Vfr 1200? Yes my opinion, start talking some sense, then you may get a different response.
- No 2015 Vfr 1200? satariel666, What are you talking about, that you can't improve the VFR1200 by modifying it or aftermarket components What a load of ballocks.
- Motogp valencia spoiler Yamaha, need to find out what is causing the problems with the Bridgestone tyres, once they get to 3/4 race distance, the tyre is goosed, until they do, MM and Honda, will no dought have the upper hand in 2015. for…

- Honda Heated Grips As already been said, its water in the control module, you may be lucky, if you dry it out thoroughly, once dried out, check to see if it works correctly, if so, then seal it properly, to stop any water getting back in.…
- Vfr1200 2015 BiKenG!, who the hell do you think you are, telling me I am living in cloud cuckoo land, don't get personal with me, that can work both ways, if you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself.
- Vfr1200 2015 Why because the VFR1200 is a Sports Tourer, adequate suspension is ok, surely you need more adjustment, ie when you are solo, or 2 up, whether with luggage or not, you need to be able to adjust your suspension settings…
- Vfr1200 2015 BikenG, f3racer, was just making a point, that you cannot adjust compression front or rear, and to think the VFR1200 is suppose to be Honda's flagship model, I'm sorry but it should. Honda still could and should have…
- Vfr1200 2015 This will be it's 5th year, with very few changes, since its launch date, it does make you wonder if Honda even in Europe are going to axe the VFR1200, colour changes only, makes me wonder whether Honda are just getting…
- Dynojet Pcv & Autotune & De-Cat. nickolaus, no I re-fitted the Airbox lid, and also the Air-intake rubbers.
- My Build I've done 1,000 miles since last Friday, mainly fully loaded, with camping gear ect , Ohlins rear shock, 4 more turns on rear spring preload, 6 clicks more on the rebound and 4 clicks on compression, and she handled…
- Bst Carbon Fiber Wheels For Vfr 1200 richy170, Yes. :smile2:
- Bigger Fuel Tank Not for me, puts the extra weight, right where you don't want it.
- Ohlins Install I read this over and over again, there is know point changing the front springs without re-valveing the front, its not just the front forks springs being to soft, the compression is far to hard, and the rebound, there…
- Ohlins Install Yes re-valve the front forks, and your suspension will be well sorted, congratulations.
- Vfr 1200 Side Case Options May be you should of bought a pan European or a Goldwing.
- Failed Final Drive/shaft I'll definitely be looking into this a bit more when I get home tonight. Sorry this happened to you, but thanks for the heads up. What's going on at Honda lately, I always thought Honda was a quality product, not so,…
- Power Commander V - Not Impressed Carbs make you fat. :goofy: Try a different map for stock filter and slipon and see what happens. Unless you get it tuned on a dyno, the maps are all approximate anyway. On my 5th gen, I tried two different maps from…
- Tank Bag For The 1200 The mailman I had a strap-on on my '97 for ten years and it worked great but the straps eventually dulled the finish under them no matter how careful of dirt/debris I was. When I bought my '07 this past fall, 2thdr…
