All 26- Installing New Headers - Checklist? Hi folks, I tried to repair some holes on my '99s OE steel exhaust and of course they've not lasted so I've bitten the bullet and picked up a really nice polished stainless steel set of headers and collector box from…
- Could You Do This On Your 5Th Gen? Note to self: don't try and outrun a Japanese police biker...or complain your bike needs better suspension, tyres, etc etc [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/pVoXGGXRl5k?feature=oembed]
- 8Th Gen Review By A 5Th Gen Rider It did not mention anything about it being much quiter . It's really not quiet considering it's a standard exhaust. Expected something tinny or like a sewing machine but far from it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
- 8Th Gen Review By A 5Th Gen Rider Quite out of the blue I got a loaner 8th gen this morning. My CRF was in for a service and I was supposed to get a Hornet but they couldn't find the keys blah blah so the demo 2014 VFR800 it was. I wasn't complaining.…
- Michelin Pilot Road 4 On A 5Th Gen I'm still delighted with these tyres after 4k miles and we've been getting plenty of sunshine for a change! These aren't just rain tyres - they really work well in all conditions and seem to suit the VFR very well.…
- Looking For 5Th Gen Oem Parts Failing all that there's www.davidsilver.co.uk who specialise in 'older' Hondas (over 10 years old I think..?) UK based but they ship worldwide and usually price pretty well.
- 2014 Vfr800F Test Ride I'm a '99 5th Gen owner (non VTEC) and I just can't get excited about this new bike. It's just not very...well...sexy. It doesn't do it for me. The styling is safe and a bit bland and won't offend anyone - which of…
- Bagster Tank Bags I've got a baglux tank harness that came with the bike and I was sceptical about it's usefulness. However I use my bike for commuting, like the seat cowl in place and IMO the Givi top box set up looks awful and ruins…
- New Owner Of 98' Vfr800! Welcome. Check out this guy's 6th gen bike in anniversary colours. I think they're great - could look good on a 5th gen too? http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/gallery/image/68553-473582/
- Vfr All "adv'd" - Knobbies Mounted (Tkc80S) - Ultimate "do Everything" Ride? This is great! You can pretty much use any motorcycle for anything - it's just some are better suited than others. I love the fact you've adapted a road bike to do what you want it to do - how many GS's do we see that…
- To Bung Or Not To Bung? What did you factor in with your research? Did the R&G bungs have something cheaper ones don't? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
- To Bung Or Not To Bung? I'm considering crash bungs (I'm assuming this translates across the pond right?) but have seen quite a range of prices and options from straightforward fairing positioning in place of a fairing bolt to fancy engine…
- Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? Another alternative is Fuel - my bike came fitted with one of these and the quality seems very good. Another UK manufacturer. I've not tried it with the baffle out but the road legal sound is really nice without being…
- Before I Buy A Two Brothers Black Series Exhaust, Any Other Suggestions? Motad are worth looking at. Designed and manufactured in the UK to very high standard and customer care is great according to quite a few of reports I've read. There's a guy from Motad who's quite often around on teh…
- Cheapest and most effective mod youve made What does that do then?? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
- Cheapest and most effective mod youve made Hands down this has to be getting my suspension properly set up yesterday by someone who knows what they're doing. As well as adjusting for my weight the rebound damping now no longer fires me out of the saddle on bumpy…
- Fuelly - Lies & Statistics? I would be delighted with that. Here's hoping some tlc will sort things out for my bike. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
- Fuelly - Lies & Statistics? Cheers Skids - much appreciated!
- Fuelly - Lies & Statistics? I'm 5'8" - 145 lb. with a stock 5th gen & a Givi Touring windscreen. W/O luggage I get 45+ mpg in cold weather, 50+ in warm weather. I do not drag knees. I find my last guage-bar blinks at 4 1/2 gals. remaining…
- Fuelly - Lies & Statistics? Thanks everyone - all very interesting. Hmm. Between US gals vs UK gals, riding style and general engine health I think the old girl could do with a service and starter valve sync so she's booked in at the end of the…
- Fuelly - Lies & Statistics? I was browsing on fuelly.com recently and noticed that the VFR800 is the 5th biggest group of motorcycles recorded on the site. There's 381 VFR800s of all generations and this of course means a pretty decent sample size…
- Michelin Pilot Road 4 On A 5Th Gen In case you're interested here's a couple of quick pics to show you the tread pattern and how they look mounted. They're a little different to the PR3s. [image: nageqe8y.jpg] [image: vy6eda5y.jpg] Sent from my iPad…
- Newb Encouragement - Top Fairing Removal Not That Bad! Thanks for the tips guys.
- Newb Encouragement - Top Fairing Removal Not That Bad! I replaced my screen this weekend with an MRA Vario and (of course) what started as a simple swap turned into a take-the-whole top-fairing-off-saga. The main reason was the squidgy rubber thread housing in the screen…
- Michelin Pilot Road 4 On A 5Th Gen Switchblade Do you ride in the rain a lot ? I do but more by necessity than choice. We've had the wettest winter in years in the UK so getting to work means riding in the rain. TNRabbit So, did you get the standard PR4…
- Michelin Pilot Road 4 On A 5Th Gen So - the Michelin Pilot Road 4 is the hot new sport touring tyre for 2014 and seems to be OE for many models from BMW. I've seen no bad reviews of the PR3 but very little on the new version. I just fitted a pair of…
