Last 50 of 65- Spark plug model number discrepancy 12 minutes ago, VFR78 I’m not suggesting that you use the RC79 spec plugs in your bike, but an iridium plug might be better. Less faffing about with plug changes. i do have iridium plugs in the bike right now (10 years…
- Spark plug model number discrepancy so the service manual mentions the NGK spark plug model as CR9EH-9 (and same with a website for motorcycle parts i use) but the NGK website is showing CR8EH-9 (or CR8EHIX-9 for iridium) so is it the CR9 or CR8 ??? also,…
- Let's talk tyres! i'm running Bridgestone T30 EVO on my VFR -and my other bike too- and very happy with it, very stable and sticky, good in the rain, and more importantly to me its very predictable. i have around 7,500km on the T30 EVO…
- Is there an easy way to change the low beam relay? i have the speedo and tach in stock incandescent bulbs but switched the 2 bulbs for LCD display with blue, and yes thats the size im using, but make sure you buy the short ones as its kinda shallow in, and if you put…
- Is there an easy way to change the low beam relay? low beam and hi beam relays are actually behind the dash unit. i was there couple of weeks ago, you'll have to remove the inner fairing around the dash, then remove the mirrors and front fairing's side bolts (3 on each…
- Delkevic Slip On Review i have the Delkevic 14" oval pipe and happy with it, not too annoying for daily commute, but has a nice droning noise when you hammer on the throttle. (mine is a 2000 with stock Cat header). i didn't they have/come with…
- 8G Clear Clutch Cover Dutchy raoufhakam And you know this because???????? I'd say you're talking rubbish man..... :goofy: because a friend of mine has it on his 2008 GSXR750 and he's a douchebag too.... :goofy: Shinigami All of which sound…
- 2017 Rvf1000 V4 Rectaltronics But, you'll do it anyway... ;-) If it ain't broke, I always say. So if my 4th gen wasn't murdered I might still be riding it. That being said... Roughly close weight, same peak power as the 15-20 year old…
- 8G Clear Clutch Cover clear clutch covers looks nice when stopped, but once you turn the engine over and oil splashing on it, just looks bad. however, nothing comes close to the real thing clear clutch covers trying to mimic, Ducati's open…
- 2017 Rvf1000 V4 not to sound like i'm coming to your "8th Gen" home and nitpicking on it, but to be honest, a true VFR successor that's 15 years newer than my 5th gen and worth $10k more should have been more than just new suspension…
- Slip Ons i have a delkevic slip on and have no problem whatsoever with centerstand too
- What's The Hottest 5Th Generation Can? Post Your Pics.... My Delkevic can after a shitty salty dirty long winter :D P.s., yes, this is a cardboard piece covering thr radiators because my thermostat is stuck open until its warm enough that i can i fix it [image:…
- 8 Spoke Colour Ideas red bike and red wheels!! thats makes it even faster ( based on the debated theory that every red honda is 2-3hp faster than other colours)!!
- Could You Do This On Your 5Th Gen? I'd love to have that engine guard! :D
- Causes For Excessive 5Th Gen Mileage What on earth would a stuck thermostat have to do with poor mileage? For the record, I'm not trying to be confrontational, I'm interested to hear if this is actually a cause for poor mileage. I may be wrong, but i guess…
- Bigger Fuel Tank whats with the big disappointment with the fuel tank capacity/range across the 7th gen VFR community??! really whats so bad with a ~200km or so fuel range anyway regardless of the engine's size or the fuel tank capacity…
- Power, Torque And Decelleration Graphs By Eu Bike Magazine SHvar 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…
- Power, Torque And Decelleration Graphs By Eu Bike Magazine Shinigami You more likely rode a 2014. Honda Canada isn't listing 2015's yet on this model. Honda retuned the VTEC transition to be seamless. You still get the low end performance, but without the "kick" that some…
- Power, Torque And Decelleration Graphs By Eu Bike Magazine i test rode the 2015 new VFR800 and found the V-TEC engaging a little bit before 7k rpm, though the transition sounds nice, i didnt feel any difference in power delivery, is it just me or was i expecting a big kick at…
- Traded in ktm rc8r 4 a vfr 800 2014 greetings to all Bonjour notre frère bienvenue à la maison folle de VFR (Vee Eff Erghhh huit cents) :cheerleader:
- Aftermarket fairing kits not exactly related, but i had an aftermarket fairing on my '06 CBR600RR that i owned for a year before selling it and switching to my '00 VFR they looked super cool (Repsol livery) but were pain in the ass to take off…
- Is A Hot Frame Normal? thats normal, my frame ('00 5th gen) gets pretty hot after long ride (highway, backroads, traffic) and stays warm for quite a while after.
- Should I Stop Riding After Noticing The Oil Level Is Over The Maximum? had the same issue when I first bought my VFR, previous owner filled to halfway between the marks when its on the side stand, so when its upright on centre-stand (correct way) the oil level was above the high mark!…
- Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th Morph3us VTEC is technology for the sake of technology and brings no useful benefit other than an interesting transition. It was added to solve a problem that never existed. It adds complication. I prefer simplicity.…
- Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th While i havent tried 6th or 8 th gen to understand why people hate VTEC, i kinda understand why people miss 5th gne's gear driven chain which was something kinda unique to VFRs, but as honda's tech showcase, they had to…
- Advice About Buying A Rc46- BrianSPC Bleeding the brakes on a VFR is difficult because of the DCBS system ? Its not impossibly hard, if you have done any brake bleeding before, you can do it on vfr, its just your bleeding 4 circuits instead of 2,…
- Advice About Buying A Rc46- marriedman It could be something as simple as flushing and bleeding the brakes. What color was the brake fluid in the reservoir? right, could possibly be crappy aging brake fluid. this is what came out of my…
- Advice About Buying A Rc46- as for brakes / braking power, I don't know what are you comparing it to in first place, what you are riding now or been riding? I have a '00 VFR800 and brakes are pretty decent on it, and works pretty well even at high…
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 TBR sent out an email with a link to the new VFR800 slip-ons... two versions, one with and one without saddle bags. 2014 VFR800 w/ TBR slip-on on dyno In the email they called it a VFR900... I wish!!! That TBR slip-on…
- The Ultimate Vfr I'd like shaft drive and enough hose/cable length to put some UJM style high bars on. Oh, and an electric windscreen would be nice. might as well get ST1300 or an FJR1300 ? :comp13: Knock 200 pounds off and I would.…
- The Ultimate Vfr I'd like shaft drive and enough hose/cable length to put some UJM style high bars on. Oh, and an electric windscreen would be nice. might as well get ST1300 or an FJR1300 ? :comp13:
- 5Th Gen Air Filter Replacement Choices (Oem, K5N, Hiflo) hey everyone, seem like im gonna need to be changing my air filter soon. not filled with dust, bugs or mice but just showing signs of age. my choices are: 1/OEM Honda (local dealer): $59.88 + 15% tax= $68.86 2/K&N…
- Low Cost Mod there is only one clear connector to disconnect, looks exactly like the one in the picture you posted above from the link I showed you before. I haven't done this myself yet (been too busy, will probably do it over the…
- The Ultimate Vfr Why? cos they are beautiful!!!! [image: duesenberg-w-24-gears.jpg] MOTHER OF GEARS!!!! Gears, gears, gears, ,,,,, they're beautiful, sounds awesome, no maintenance. never had chain driven cam bikes that didn't whine and…
- Low Cost Mod Terry The vacuum flapper mod just makes more noise at 3-4000 rpm, more of a honking sound from the intakes. No change to performance that I could feel, so I put it back to stealthy standard. oh, so that's where the…
- The Ultimate Vfr Seem to me like ur asking for an Aprilia RSV4 :D I honestly dont see the obsession with USD/inverted forks. If u have a good set of 3 way fully adjustable convetional forks, you're good to go. Before my '00 5th VFR, i…
- Low Cost Mod Opps, my bad. Should've probably pointed out that the bike in the instructions in that link was 6th gen instead of 5th. However, everything else applies the same, except for the PAIR solenoid connector as pointed out by…
- Low Cost Mod ShadowJP88 Thanks raoufhakam! I'll look into this mod this week, seems really easy to do. While you can just unplug the hose from the flapper valve like everyone does, i personally didnt like having it there when its…
- Checked Out The 8Th Gen Today And.... klrtovfr That is marketing BS, there is minimal performance, technology and features in the new VFR800 compared to a VFR800 that came out 15+ years ago. That same sport/touring rider can throw bags on a gsxr1000 and do…
- Looking For 5Th Gen Oem Parts mello dude Aw - sorry to hear that! Partszilla is a good OEM new parts source. http://www.powersportsplus.com/parts/search/Honda/Motorcycle/parts.html OEM parts gonna cost a fortune (specially plastics), i'd say look on…
- Checked Out The 8Th Gen Today And.... the best mod to a heavy bike is cutting weight of your belly first, then the bike! a 240lb rider on a "light" 450lb superbike isn't gonna be better a 160lb rider on a "heavy" 500lb sport-touring bike :offtopic: Edited…
- No Low Beam ember1205 Ultimately, you'll need to determine where the electricity stops flowing... That will be the culprit. Switch, relay, bulb, harness... oh god, electrical problems are the most hated by everyone. had a…
- Low Cost Mod ShadowJP88 Skids Remove the snorkel, disable the Flapper Valve & disconnect the PAIR valves. All free. Then sync the Starter Valves. But the snorkel did not help getting air from the front? What does the Flapper alve…

- Nasty Crash. Not Me well, good thing you and others stopped buy to help the poor guy, when I had my accident last summer on my V-Strom, while I was as badly injured as you're describing, but no one, and I mean absolutely NO ONE stopped for…
- Checked Out The 8Th Gen Today And.... dogman Please explain why radial mounted brakes would work better on USD forks. to make it short, radial mounted brakes were introduced for two reasons: 1/ to have a more rigid mounting to the bottom of USD fork. 2/ to…
- If You Have One Of My Custom Clutch Covers... do you still make these covers for 5th gen VFR? how much are they?
- Another Bright Idea For My 5Th Gen Viffer.... GearDrivenDave I only bought my 2000 (pre cat) vfr three weeks ago, but I have to say I love the headlights. I suppose it is possible they have already been upgraded though. Any easy way to tell? Mine is a 200 and has…
- 4Th Honda. 1St Vfr. 2014 While Red is known to be the "fast" color in Hondas (rumoured to add 3-5HP at the rear wheel), but for the 8th gen VFR, pearl white is my favourite and everytime i go to my honda dealer to pick up parts i pass by that…
