  1. Range of the 8th Gen 31 Jul 2016 14:02 14 minutes ago, CandyRedRC46 You really think the ecu and injectors were updated for the eight gen? Time for a part number search. I am willing to bet that the increased efficiency is strictly from the increase in…
  2. Range of the 8th Gen 30 Jul 2016 03:09 CandyRedRC46, 28 July 2016 at 0:07 AM Looks like higher compression ratio and even milder cam/header tuning is really helping the efficiency on these eighth gens versus the old 6th gens. Penny to a pound the fuel…
  3. Picture Thread 19 May 2016 14:23 1 hour ago, Pjcliffo Fully loaded [image: image.jpeg] Nice bike. I notice you also have a street triple. I understand that by the stats & philosophically the two don't compare but are they as much fun as each other to…
  4. Fork rebuilding with new valves and springs & Shock replacement 16 May 2016 01:19 7 hours ago, jimbob [image: 20160511_195013_resized.jpg] [image: 20160514_151356_resized.jpg] A quick question, how do you access the preload adjuster on the new shock? From the other side? Picture from the RHS would be…
  5. Crossing Australia - Twice! 9 Apr 2016 08:33 Why not travel via The Great Ocean Road? And why bypass the brilliant roads around Adelaide?
  6. But Why? Who's Going To Buy One? Nobody. 18 Oct 2014 09:40 Just saying . . . Still waiting for you to finish your sentence.
  7. 8th gen review from long time 4th gen owner 18 Sep 2014 00:58 It was definitely backfiring. Rev it and it would backfire a few times. Not huge ones, just small ones that you could hear at a standstill. I tried to rev it up while riding and engine breaking but I never heard it…
  8. 8th gen review from long time 4th gen owner 18 Sep 2014 00:39 Nice segue. ;-) The leaf peepers can be a pain in the tush actually. I may have to take an impromptu ride to Binghamton NY this weekend for a funeral. I was thinking about the Catskills ride that's being organized but…
  9. Need Some Help From The Uk Crowd 16 Sep 2014 15:02 For the curious, why not the OEM luggage rack? Saw one the other day, its nicely integrated & subtle. The total opposite of that Harbour Bridge like monstrosity that Honda offered for the 6th Gen.
  10. Power, Torque And Decelleration Graphs By Eu Bike Magazine 6 Sep 2014 13:49 Switchblade RC79 VTEC in at 5800rpm 2006 later RC46 VTEC in at 6800rpm Thats how they smoothed it out, earlier VTEC engagement . Don't think so. Look again, both at 6800
  11. Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th 26 Aug 2014 22:47 Rectaltronics house Another member that liked the 8th gen suspension. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/78745-checked-out-the-8th-gen-today-and/?p=962089 Starting to wonder if those of us that don't dig…
  12. Hard Rear Brake Pedal? Doesn't Stop Well. (I've Bleed The Crap Out Of It) 26 Aug 2014 22:42 It feels like I have to push WAY too hard to get hard braking on my rear pedal. My other 2007 is the same way. I've bleed them by the book and the front brakes are awesome. Does anyone else feel this way? I'm thinking…
  13. Alarm/security 14 Aug 2014 22:09 Why not fit the Honda accessory alarm designed to fit the 8th Gen?
  14. Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th 9 Aug 2014 08:18 mdr vfr Dogman. Do you own the standard or the deluxe version ? Thanks. What is the Deluxe in the USA is the "standard" & only model in the rest of the world. Looking at how little you save dollars-wise but how much…
  15. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 8 Aug 2014 23:23 It is an eyesore without the bags... do the Arrow or Dam have any issues with cooking the bottom of the right bag? The right bag has an integral heat shield as the stock muffler sits under it. TBR's problem isn't heat,…
  16. Question For Any That Have Owned A 6Th/7Th Gen And Now The 8Th 8 Aug 2014 22:53 mdr vfr As someone who is looking at this bike, I am saddened by the fact that it seems to have suspension issues. My 6th Gen's suspension was fine after I had it setup. No mods needed. I did not need or expect it to…
  17. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 8 Aug 2014 02:24 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…

  19. The Ultimate Vfr 7 Aug 2014 04:00 Because they give you a more precise handling bike and better tyre wear by flexing less particularly when you're carrying extra weight such as luggage and pillions. Care to quantify that? Better tyre wear with USD…
  20. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 6 Aug 2014 08:31 Sounds good. I've been trying to get a friggin' video to link here but it doesn't seem to be working right now... :angry: Edit: Finally! http://youtu.be/Gf5YlfNyz9g Nice.. those black Viffers are hard to spot at night….…
  21. Checked Out The 8Th Gen Today And.... 31 Jul 2014 05:16 Beck Radial caliper mounted brakes on RSU forks?? kinda like an oxymoron.... What's the point of radial caliper mounted brakes anyway if it's not paired with USD forks?? It could be more of a cosmetic gimmick on this…
  22. More On Trail Braking 30 Jul 2014 06:26 Being a "front-end" orientated rider trail braking is something I have naturally always done. Oddly enough every bike that I have owned that came from the factory with linked brakes (Moto Guzzis & Hondas) had the the…
  23. Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 29 Jul 2014 05:53 Then toss out the instructions and figure out how to make it work, as was done with the 5th gen 15 years ago... Two different systems with different mufflers, hangers & link pipes. Why TwoBros didn't do as you say &…
  24. Checked Out The 8Th Gen Today And.... 28 Jul 2014 04:56 SHvar From one year to the next the yamaha R1, R6, the kawasaki zx-(you pick the number), suzuki gsx(pick your number, with or without an R) gets either bigger, smaller, heavier, lighter, more power, less power, better…

  29. 105Bhp 26 Jul 2014 14:09 CandyRedRC46 Here's the thing.... Almost all modern sport bikes have ram air induction, and most will have individual mapping by gear. So first gear will not have much compensation, but 4th (where a dyno pull is made)…

  31. 105Bhp 25 Jul 2014 22:43 SHvar I recently read an article about how so many bikes are exaggerated in their HP output, they gave a huge list by manufacturers and years, amazing how shockingly close so many bikes actually performed at the rear…

  35. Motorcyclist Collector's Issue. Sept 2014. Heads Up. 19 Jul 2014 09:09 MaxSwell 800 cc, 98 hp, is plenty of power for me, probably as much as I can handle. Throw in gear-driven cams and a $3000 price range and it's a no brainer for me. Fifth Gen! Just a little secret MaxSwell, you can't go…
  36. But Why? Who's Going To Buy One? Nobody. 18 Jul 2014 00:07 Pathetic in the eyes of people who like power when they want it :) Hmm. Isn't it pathetic to buy a bike you know is not tuned for performance? I'm really not getting it. If you want more power, buy a different bike.…
  37. Motorcyclist Collector's Issue. Sept 2014. Heads Up. 17 Jul 2014 11:54 dogman The bike that everyone wanted would be selling at a much higher price point than this one is, and then everyone would be complaining about the price. For what it costs, (in Australia anyway) the 8th gen…
  38. Forums 16 Jul 2014 23:48 The US seems to get fancy names for a few Honda bikes, eg CBR600 was a Hurricane and the VTR1000 was a Superhawk IIRC, nowhere else got these either. Funny how that works really. Superhawk in the US only name for the…

  40. Eighth Gen Modathon (Round One) 16 Jul 2014 00:09 Just ordered the FactoryPro Shift kit. Marc (and I) believe that it will fit/work. This kit made a massive difference in shifts on my 6th gen. I don't think I have missed a shift since I installed their kit. You can…
  41. But Why? Who's Going To Buy One? Nobody. 10 Jul 2014 23:07 Here she is, now with 1700 miles. I have really enjoyed this bike. Makes a great long distance commuter. Average UK mpg is so far 53.7 mostly motorway and that includes pressing on a bit. I forget my conversion table…
  42. Regulator Rectifier Issues 9 Jul 2014 23:41 Running 4 halogen bulbs on the 6th gen had certainly upped the amps and exposed wiring vulnerability. I would expect the 8th gen LED headlamps lower amps will reduce wiring problems. Hopefully the lower power draw will…

  46. 2014 Vfr Caution 2 Jul 2014 21:39 Relic Found out that Honda is promoting these rims as special. They are hollow aluminium which in this very statement does not make me think they are strong. I am awaiting a recall so hopefully I can get my $2,400 back.…

  49. New Vfr Suspension Question 14 Jun 2014 04:44 I have quickly checked the sag on mine, ita a total of about 35mm so it whats expected for my weight. I think the forks are a bit stiff due to newness, but it feels ok to me. We only get the "deluxe" in OZ The…
  50. 2014 Vfr Caution 13 Jun 2014 13:38 y2kvfr dfh y2kvfr I've seen a couple of emails on the google VFR list saying the same thing. One fellow had an issue on a test ride. Links? Cant find any trace of these. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vfr-list…
