All 46- VFR Alternatives / Where to from here? 1 hour ago, Grum Nice bike but Dallas is a bloody long way from Victoria Australia! :biggrin: Maybe I need to move to be able to keep riding the bike I love! 😉
- VFR Alternatives / Where to from here? Thanks for the suggestions guys. Doesn't look like we have much that comes close to the characteristics of the VFR. While I like the V4, it's more the handling of the bike that I prefer. (Lean angle, cornering…
- VFR Alternatives / Where to from here? 52 minutes ago, sfdownhill What about a very low mileage 2014-2016 VFR in excellent condition? Interested in new at this stage, and are just wondering what options are closest to what I've previously experienced on a…
- VFR Alternatives / Where to from here? What does someone who has ridden VFR's, wants to buy a new VFR but it's no longer an option move to? The Sprint and VFR appear to be the only two bikes in their class. The next thing remotely close to them that I have…
- Giving up on Honda / Honda Giving up on us? lazyeye, 1/29/2019 at 2:44 PM They aren't in the business of catering to cult status bike enthusiasts. Its not like they've come to me and said, "Hey LazyEye, give us a rundown of everything you want out of a SuperBike…
- Giving up on Honda / Honda Giving up on us? I've been waiting for a couple of years now, hoping that Honda would take a new interest in it's Sports Tourer / VFR range. I'm now told there is a 2019 model (yay) - but it's only available in Japan (sigh)... I'm not…
- Sena 20S - Any Issues? Yes - definitely issues with the 20S: Check out Sena's own forums: https://support.sena.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/216721806-drum-sound-Sena-20s…
- Let's talk tyres! 19 hours ago, HighSideNZ I started out using PR3s and then went to PR4s. Found that once they were down to about 50% wear the grip dropped off very quickly. . Wow - that's not entirely comforting news. How badly did the…
- How difficult is it to remove and replace fairings? Hi, Coming from someone who is good with a keyboard, but hopeless with tools, I was wondering how difficult it is to remove and replace fairings on the 6th Gen. I'm curious from two different angles: 1) To remove and…
- Differences in international fairings? They definitely seem like different fairings but I'll take another look. Does anyone know if the fairings have the model numbers molded on the inside? If so, it might be worth me taking the fairing off my bike to check…
- Differences in international fairings? Hi, I'm looking at getting some replacement fairings due to some damage on the left side of my bike. However the bike I have purchased is an American Interceptor model (2009). I have a friend who purchased a 2009 VFR800…
- 6th Gen - PR4 - GT or ST Tire coming from Angel GT? Thanks Blazerdman - so basically ignore the PR4 GT's, and go for the straight PR4's. Thanks for the confirmation.
- 6th Gen - PR4 - GT or ST Tire coming from Angel GT? Thanks Blazerdman - maybe I've misunderstood. My question was more along the lines of whether I should get: 1) Pilot Road 4, or 2) Pilot Road 4 GT (So when I mention GT I mean the pilot road, not the Angels) :) Where…
- 6th Gen - PR4 - GT or ST Tire coming from Angel GT? After reading a thread in the 5th Generation I'm thinking of changing my tire choice. I've been using Angel GT's on my 6th gen, and have really liked them. However it seems that most of the talk lately has been on the…
- Let's talk tyres! I switched from Q2's to Angel GT's. Have been running these for the last couple of years and absolutely love them. I don't ride track, but enjoy spirited rides on the road. (Enough to be wearing out my spacers on my…
- Pirelli Angel Gt - Rear Tire Wear Issue How do you like the rebound setting on the rear shock? To be honest, I've never altered it - and are not really familiar with what I should be expecting from it. All I know is that the bike rides comfortably since I…
- Pirelli Angel Gt - Rear Tire Wear Issue Thanks for the clarification guys. Does this mean that I need to change my tires over before they get to the wear line because of this, or are they still fine to continue to use?
- Pirelli Angel Gt - Rear Tire Wear Issue Hi All, Just wondering if someone can assist me with what I'm seeing. I've had this tire for only one month (but admit I have travelled 2500miles / 4000kms in that time). The rear tire is wearing where the leading side…
- Which Heated Grips? I've installed the Oxford heated grips on mine about 12 months ago. Like Corkey - I found the higher settings to be too hot to handle. The lower settings work just great. They wire straight back to the battery - and…
- Pirelli Angel Gt - Kebrider Initial Report So my experience with the Angel GT's - and I was a bit surprised. I expected the front to wear out first, however after 10,000kms it's the front that's due for replacement. Worn out on the sides too - the centre is…
- She's In My Garage! Nice bike! I've only seen a 1200 once in person - would love to have the opportunity myself to try one out one day. Enjoy!
- But Why? Who's Going To Buy One? Nobody. Without having read through every post in this forum - why is there a thought that no one would buy these? I've had guys jump off their bikes onto mine, and comment how great the VFR handles. (09 / 6th Gen). Why would…
- Strange Bleep Sound From Front End - Progress... Veefer2010 has the same issue as me, and has just found a recent discovery that it may be related to the PAIR Valve solenoid http://www.vfrdiscus...it-2010-vfr800/ I'm yet to disable PAIR on my bike. I took off the…
- What's This Noise? How Do I Fix It? 2010 Vfr800 Hi Jeff, I think you're onto something there. My noise is completely absent up until above 70°c as well. It occurs in Neutral as well as gear, and like yours occurred when I plugged the vacuum line. As for removing…
- What's This Noise? How Do I Fix It? 2010 Vfr800 I'm not sure if I have the exact same problem. I haven't noticed any surging issues with my bike. My bike seems to function fine, with the exception of this sound at low revs. (If it wasn't for the odd sound, I wouldn't…
- Strange Bleep Sound From Front End - Progress... I started this new thread because the original had lots of different directions, such as steering bearings, suspension, etc. After narrowing down the sound to be directly linked to the throttle I thought it was better…
- What's This Noise? How Do I Fix It? 2010 Vfr800 Jeff, the tapping sound sounds very familiar to what I've been hearing with mine. http://www.vfrdiscus...t-end-progress/ Is it the change in engine tone you're referring too or the bleeping sound that occurs inbetween?
- Strange Bleep Sound From Front End - Progress... Timing. :) I've been away for a couple of weeks, and haven't had a chance to get the bike out for a ride until today. Unfortunately the sound wasn't as loud today as normal for me to check out (typical), but I still…
- Strange Bleep Sound From Front End - Progress... Thanks Lint. I'll pull off the fuel tank and will try pulling that hose off to see what happens.
- Strange Bleep Sound From Front End - Progress... I've been having this issue with a strange bleep sound coming from the front end of my motorcycle. (Recording attached) Through various tests, trials, and pain, here is a summary of what I've managed to find todate:…
- Givi Top Box - 6Th Gen Thanks all. Looks like I've got what i need to know. Also found a local supplier with a reasonable price (compared to international) so I may not need to order internationally after all. Also thanks for the tip on the…
- Givi Top Box - 6Th Gen Thanks Cogswell. It looks like I may need another part too - a M5 plate?
- Givi Top Box - 6Th Gen Hi, I am looking at adding a Top Box to my '09 VTEC to store some clothes, etc so I can do a bit of traveling on my bike. Having never done something like this before I just wanted to make sure I have everything right…
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? In this day and age with technology the way it is it surprises me how often new features are introduced like this without the option to enable / disable. A simple option like this (maybe set by default out of the…
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! [image: holy-thread-revival-batman.jpg] :wink: But seriously - thank for getting back with the information - no doubt that this will help someone else in time to come - and glad to see you've got it resolved. Better…
- Grips I went with the oxford heated grips myself. (Didn't wait for my original grips to run out though ;) ) Wasn't sure whether it was really going to be worth it - but after using them a few times - it was really worth it.
- 6Th Gen Fill Up Questions/tips? Interesting thread indeed. I got 340kms out of 21 litres the other day. (That's 211 miles 4.38 us Gal / 4.95 imp Gal). 50% spirited riding up the mountains, 50% cruising on flat back roads. I guess that works out to be…
- Pirelli Angel Gt - Kebrider Initial Report I'm pretty much a weekend warrior - don't do a lot of commuting (unless it's to get to the ranges :) ) - but have been quite happy with these tires so far. I had QT2's on previous - and I can't say I've noticed any…
- New Red Led Tail Lights... Ya Gotta Be Blind Not To See Me Stopping Fleabay doesn't ship down under. :(
- Replacement Horn I'm considering upgrading the horn on my bike too (6th Gen) and I'm a little confused mostly due to lack of experience. I'm pretty hopeless when it comes to my hands. I know electronics, but always scared I'm going to…
- Steering Head Scratches & Multiple Keys Hi guys, Thanks for the replies. Ignition key and fuel cap are the same. I like the idea about a lock smith fixing up the seat to match. Thanks for the ideas on what I can do re the scratches. Sent from my HTC One S…
- Steering Head Scratches & Multiple Keys Hi, My VFR that I purchased recently has some scratches on the black steering head around the ignition keyhole. It looks like a second key on a keyring has been hanging off and vibrating the black paint away. I was just…
- Pillion / Seating Arrangement Thanks guys. I'm going to go with the non slip cover to start with (already ordered), but I think I need to find out more about these Sargent seats and Corbin seats. Fathers day is still a few months away. (Might be a…
- Pillion / Seating Arrangement Thanks for the suggestion guys. My wife won't be doing any significant riding with me (at least at this stage). We're talking 20 minute rural trips to a cafe, and back again maybe once every couple of months. I'm a…
- Pillion / Seating Arrangement Hi, I took my wife out for her first ride the other day on my 2009 VFR. It went pretty good for a first time, but she had a bit of a problem with the seat. When I ride, I ride roughly half way between the tank and the…
- Fuelly - Lies & Statistics? So far my bike has been averaging consistently between 52-55mpg. Year: 2009 Modifications: Nil Weather: Warm to Hot & Dry Riding: Roughly 50% highway, 50% mountains combined with the odd hard acceleration. (No city…
