Last 50 of 103- Oil Fiter Options For The Honda. You have to find one the same size as the OEM filter or it will not fit into the space. There is a very tight fit to get a filter in and out of a 2014 (8th gen model), in fact the OEM filter is a tight squeeze. The…
- K&N Oil Filter Failure With my old CBR600F4 after so many years of using the Fram filter I had 2 choices to pick from, the K&N, and the OEM Honda filter because Fram stopped making the filter I used for years on that bike. The fram cost me…
- Tires! I replaced the OEM Dunlop D222s with the Roadsmart 2 at 5000 miles (worn out), now the RS2's have 4700 plus miles on them, so far this is what they look like. I ride as much as possible throughout spring, summer, fall,…
- Who is active in the northeast? In south central PA here, I spend alot of time riding my 2014 VFR800FD local to me, but your a good distance away up there.
- Proper Center Stand Technique? The first few times I placed my 2014 on the center stand I was afraid I would drop it. Once you do it properly you can put it on the center stand with the steering locked even, and it does not require lifting the bike.…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy I keep forgetting to post this photo, I really like this license plate frame. Thank you Cam for making these. [image: IMG_08512_zpsv6ebfbme.jpg]
- V-Tech Adjustement 6800 rpms is where VTEC engages on the 8th gen, it is one of the many changes made to smooth the VTEC transition from the 6th gen model. The engine wont suffer from it, it is designed to run at much higher rpms . Im…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Another option for those who want a shorter inexpensive option. They have no listing for the VFR but they sell universal models, in the order you specify the outer diameter of the pipe that it will be mounted to.…
- New To Vfr Hey guys, I'm new here. 2013 VFR1200FD with 4000 trouble free miles. Now brakes are beginning to act up. Any thoughts? For this you might want to try the 7th generation VFR forum (VFR1200), the 8th generation is the new…
- New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well 2 of those dealers who stock single VFRs told me that only certain customers buy them, and those customers keep them for a long time. That's me. I bought my '99 new and the dealer hasn't seen me in 15 years! Thats me…
- New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well There are alot of people (motorcycle riders and non riders) that compliment the styling and appearance of the bike when they see it in person, and very few have ever heard of a Honda VFR or Interceptor. When mentioning…
- Stomp Grip Installation, It Came Out Better Than I Was Expecting. Right away I could tell a difference, no slipping on the tank or plastic, it takes no effort to hang on with my legs now, cornering became much easier with more confidence, and more feedback from the road and…
- Stomp Grip Installation, It Came Out Better Than I Was Expecting. I let it sit the last day since installing so it can set up better. Ill be trying it out today going back to work, I was at home sick the last 2 days.
- Stomp Grip Installation, It Came Out Better Than I Was Expecting. I Ordered the Stomp Grip kit specific to the 2014 VFR800F, it comes with 2 small black pieces for the black plastic below the tank, and 2 clear larger pieces for the tank itself. I did not want to cover that red paint…
- 8Th Gen Dyno Results. The only modifications are clutch/brake levers, arkon stem mount and cellphone holder (big enough for an iphone 6), the tail tidy, a Delkevic slip-on, and a red heat shield to protect my riding boots, everything else is…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy PM sent, Ill try one out, compare it to the plate holder I have currently, Ill see which one I like better.
- 8Th Gen Dyno Results. It should have been pretty warm before he tested it yet (I was 5th in line after riding there), but its possible.
- 8Th Gen Dyno Results. Video of the dyno run. [video: https://youtube.com/embed/0c3vxnVUs3A?html5=1&fs=1]
- 8Th Gen Dyno Results. No, this was just a free dyno run I went to, its OEM aside from the slip-on and a few parts I installed like levers and that license plate frame, I just wanted to see what it really does.
- 8Th Gen Dyno Results. OEM 2014 VFR800FD with a Delkevic slip-on. 100.64 HP. The blue line was the first run, he mistakenly engaged the traction control, VTEC wouldnt engage. [image: IMG_07791_zpsuniky6qn.jpg] I have video, maybe later Ill…
- Ecu Flash At very low speeds with the engine warmed up I find my 2014 VFR800F very easy and responsive to ride, far better than the CBR600 I had, it was no fun at all to ride in traffic, stop and go, especially around walking…
- A Quick Photo Tonight. Ive been riding for the last few weeks consistent even in 30-40f night time temps. I used her for traveling to work all but 5 days from june though the middle of december. She sat for a few weeks here and there over the…
- A Quick Photo Tonight. I took a photo tonight in the garage. Cleaned her up a few nights ago, cleaned and lubed the chain. Did the first chain adjustment weeks ago, around 4000 miles at the time. I swear she sounds better now than when I…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy I cant remember if one came off easy by just pressing against it with my fingers, and one I clamped a vice grip to hold it against the surface behind it. Its been a while now. I wonder if yours was not threaded…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy I think I held the plates still and it came loose without too much difficulty. They do spin if you dont hold them still.
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? I learned the timing of my turn signals pretty quickly by paying attention, around the time they self cancel or beforehand I tap that signal to keep it going if needed, thats an easy way to solve the problem. These turn…
- Quickshifter Sorry, so I guess they dont have any add-on packages here. When I bought my bike there were no options but standard and deluxe to add, no add-ons period. In fact they were just getting add-on prices later on when I was…
- Quickshifter I think they sell the 2 package deals in dealers here, but there is no option for the slip-on at all due to emissions regulations from the dealer, you have to buy exhaust mods on your own. I know the dealers offer the…
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? I agree that the horn switch being different is the hard part to get used to because most of us dont use it often, the turn signals are easy because you should be using them alot. There are a few Hondas using self…
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? I got used to the timing of the turn signals pretty quickly. I like the turn signals after the first few days or so of using them, they are designed so that if needed you can self cancel early or let them cancel in the…
- How Much Did You Pay For Yours? There is 1 deluxe in CA and one in TX discounted to $12054, a used deluxe for $11999, and several standard models discounted $1000 or more now on cycle trader, all 2014s listed here.…
- How Much Did You Pay For Yours? $13,499 for the deluxe model, plus set up, taxes fees etc. It was the first one to come in possibly in my state, I put a deposit on it weeks before it came in. Ive seen higher prices advertised on them elsewhere, but…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Keep in mind the license plate frame made by competition werkes does not eliminate the light (you can see it in my photos), in fact the plate is in the same position as the OEM plastic plate holder (maybe a hair closer…
- 2Nd Oil Change The Other Night Already My riding consists of a 15 minute ride to work and then home afterwards, most of my riding aside from when it rains or on the occasion that I get stuck in traffic is pretty aggressive. When Im riding on my days off its…
- 2Nd Oil Change The Other Night Already I changed the first oil at 600 miles with the Honda GN4 10w40 that the dealer put in originally, and decided to try Amsoil 10w40 this time. Maybe its just me but I seemed to notice a difference in the temperature being…
- The Ultimate Vfr You dont have to remove the grab handles to install the rear seat cowl, but in my opinion the handles are impractical and got in the way of the cargo net that I use, so I took them off.
- Traction Control... I may have had it come on once but never noticed the indicator during that instance (wasnt looking at the cluster, too busy watching the road at the time), so im not sure. Maybe because I dont intentionally try to…
- New Vfr Suspension Question Dont forget about the anti-lock brakes, traction control, heated grips, center stand, remote preload and fully adjustable rear, self canceling turn signals (once you get used to how they work they are a nice feature).…
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy House found this solution, in fact this one on my bike came from him, it was the extra one he had. Amazon also sells the same product maybe a tiny bit less, Im not sure. Give him credit for this one.
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy I agree with you on that. At least there should be some way to unbolt and remove them if you arent using them.
- New Vfr Suspension Question The standard model is a US offering, but in my opinion not worth getting. For the $1000 more on the Deluxe you get alot added, and it would cost you alot more to buy most of the parts to add later.
- 8Th Gen Tail Tidy Like this, its a Competition Werkes fender minimizer kit. Its stainless steel and made for the vfr1200. You just have to cut the tab off of the top to make it fit the vfr800. The OEM piece drops off with one bolt. I…
- Shifting When Hot My dealer put Honda GN4 10w40 in to break in, and my first oil change was the same type and weight of oil at 600 miles. Im thinking of switching to full synthetic at 3600 miles (coming really soon). Maybe Ill try the…
- 8th gen review from long time 4th gen owner I had the baffle out of my delkevic for one trip to and from work, I reinstalled it as soon as I pulled into the garage upon returning home that night. This thing is too LOUD without the baffle, and I wear earplugs when…
- Power, Torque And Decelleration Graphs By Eu Bike Magazine So far Ive accidently bumped the heated grip button once, they got hot, and it took a bit to realize whats going on and stop it. This sunday at a bike event someone may have been messing with my bikes buttons when they…
- Power, Torque And Decelleration Graphs By Eu Bike Magazine VTEC activates at 6400 on the 06 and later 6th gen, it activates between 6700-6800 on the 8th gen and stays on even as it drops to 6100.
- Lancaster Pa. Area Any Members Maybe on the first sunday in september (7th) we can meet up and ride to ephrata or meet there for breakfast and look at bikes. Lets get some more VFRs there.
- Vfr Gen 8 Shifter Hi Windyrun No problems with missed gears. Also agree with Sixbeans, this bike handles better than any I've ever owned - including a ZX10R and three CBRs. I agree, it handles better than my old CBR600 did. I have a ton…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Got an email about the Dam slip on again, the price will be +- 410 euros or $549.35, they are currently closed until the 25th of the month, after they return they will start production and have them ready for the middle…
- 2014 Vfr Caution I am in New York City where the pavement maintenance makes most third world countries laugh hysterically, so if anything will be a test of the bike's fortitude this will be it. Ever driven on many Pennsylvania roads, my…
