Last 50 of 92- Is My Front Axle Missing Something? Yeah thats spot on how it should be that mate (:
- 190/55 On A Vfr? Gonna have to get a set of these pr4's on the vfr. They were good on the sv and i fancy them on the viffer. Especially after its wheelspun twice with bt023's. Once was a light throttle on a wet road, the second was…
- 2002 Vtec-120/70 17 Versus 120/60 17 Not on the 6th gen, but i had a 70 on an sv650 and then i changed it to the correct 60 fitment. It turned in alot faster, just dropped into corners nicer You might lose some stability at higher speeds though
- New And Improved Alternative Ram Mount Switchblade I have seen that mount somewhere else for sale, never thought about it working on the VFR good catch . Roll On .. Its a brill place to mount the sat nav tbh. Ive got my Garmin zumo 390 there. I tried it on…
- New And Improved Alternative Ram Mount Good system. I bought mine off a guy from Manchester area, his company is called Telferizer. His uses a rubber system that expands when twisted so it locks in place. The ball on the top is also rubber so it grips. I…

- 2015 Vfr800X Several Configuration? Apparently America doesnt get the Crossrunner? I think its this reason i cant find too much about it on forums, n i like to read about em aha. Is it actually out now? Or is it due to come out soon? I've been wanting to…
- 2015 Vfr800X Several Configuration? Whaa? Care to elaborate? Haha. Really tempted for one of these myself
- Thoughts On Buying Used... Looks tidy in the pics but the only way to tell really is going paying it a visit. I went round endless vfr's when i was looking. All described as tidy/immaculate or words to those effects and it took me a few months to…
- Titanium Disc Bolt Or Oem ? Thread on the last 5mm shouldn't be a problem IMO. Thatll be about the depth of the disc, and thats got no thread on... Id of thought itd be fine, but i might be wrong
- Titanium Disc Bolt Or Oem ? Hmm thats true about breaking the loc-tite isnt it. I never thought of that! Hmm. I think I'll leave it be n just check if any are noticeably loose in a few miles. Im not overly bothered about shaving 36grams haha. £45…
- Tires, What Are You Going To Install This Year? I went with a PP3 front and PR4 rear this go round. My last combo was a PP3/PR2 and I was able to get 13,601 miles out of both! This was predominantly commuter miles but I did get in two Sierra Mountain runs with them.…

- Titanium Disc Bolt Or Oem ? Those brakes look awesome. Id love em but not sure id be able to justify the price haha. Just a quick question. I've had my wheels powdercoated lately, obviously I've had to take the discs off. I've put some loc-tite on…
- 190/55 On A Vfr? Rush2112 Otaylor38 Bosarge22 I have read the PR4's really shine in the wet but get a little greasy when its really hot out and your riding hard. Any 1st hand experience on this? Thanks If its greasy i dont ride as hard,…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Sorry to hijack this thread with that question. I couldnt look at another vfr without thinking 'its missing its sticker, wonder if its been sprayed' haha To make it up to you. Hes a pic of my 6th gen with its new 8…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr marriedman If you are talking about the 6th gen, they were not marketed as VFR's. They were only called Interceptors. Ooh i see. So they come from the factory with no stickers on the front side fairing? Cheers

- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Another (probably silly) question from me here haha. Howcome do many of the US vfr's dont have the VFR sticker on the side on the plastics, above the radiators? Do they have them as standard? All the UK ones do, unless…
- How Much Should I Sell My Vfr For? Learn something new every day!
- How Much Should I Sell My Vfr For? wera803 Otaylor38 Genuine question here, im quote new to vfr's. Why would people want the 98-99 headers but not the 01? Arent the 01 headers stainless, and the earlier bikes mild steel? I thought stainless was better?…
- How Much Should I Sell My Vfr For? Cogswell I sincerely hope you're ok. In situations like that it's often just finding the right buyer. I seem to recall someone on here whose 5th gen was hit from behind - as one example. If it's a '98 or '99 (it's…
- My 6Th Gen, Review And Simple Mods. Yeah they are cool. Took me about 9months to come across one at a decent price. Theres a few knockin about though. They pop up occasionally. Nah cant see it when riding, but the while bike looks miles better now IMO.…

- 190/55 On A Vfr? Bosarge22 Time for tires, the GPA's are done. Thinking about PR4's, seem to be good on the VFR. Thats what I'll be having soon I've ran pr3's and pr4's on an sv650s. Wouldnt run anything else tbh. Just need to use up…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr rigger4343 Its really no problem at all to mount the hard bags if your plate is tucked up. I just did it to mine. My plate was tight up in between the pipes and I had no factory fender. I was able to to use almost all…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr wgregt jackmac wgregt You mean 2007, right? I've got the same one. Different pipes though. Did you get the bags? Yes sorry, 2007. No bags with this bike, and with the plate tuck kit my understanding is the bags wont…
- Valve adjustment 6th gen wgregt On my 6th gen (that I bought used) I've decided not to worry about valve adjustments on the advice of a Honda tech I know well @ the dealership. I actually had it on his schedule for a valve check at 16k, and he…

- 8 Spoke Colour Ideas Defo cant ride it now. Its in the garage with no front wheel on! I've asked the local bike shop to whip the tyres off and bearings out. He says thatll be done by tomorrow. Got the powdercoater ready and waiting earlier…
- 8 Spoke Colour Ideas duccmann 3 degrees, are you crazy? Like the color.....sorry it was in the upper 70's here for my first real ride since Sept. Probably saw 200+ bikes out today. I wouldnt say crazy. I've not ridden it since last…
- 8 Spoke Colour Ideas So first ride of the year for me today. Bit chilly at 3 degrees in places but thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyway. I dont want white wheels, im pretty certain now. Its gonna be too much to keep clean. I only covered 45 miles…

- 8 Spoke Colour Ideas Cogswell Looks great! What kind of hugger is that? Cheers! I honestly dont know mate. It was on the bike when i bought it. Had a similar one on my sv650s and although that one was fitted when i bought it to, i think…
- 8 Spoke Colour Ideas Jagstar RollinAgain I think White looks the best but they are hard to keep clean. My second choice would be gold I like the white that I have and it's not too bad and the look when cleaned is superb. But which ever…

- 8 Spoke Colour Ideas Scottay951 I got my rims powder coated the original gold/bronze color, just as they came would've come from the factory in 1991. Came out amazing! Very nice mate. Any idea on a paint code for that colour?
- Whats This Wheel Off? Woo! Guess whos just bagged one of these 8 spoilers off ebay! The guy had it on a streetfighter, but its off a vfr 750. Its got 180 55 zr17 tyre on, so it cant be the narrower version, can it? Its not arrived yet, so…
- Need Ideal Waterproof Bags For Factory Side Cases The factory luggage is waterproof and has o-rings to seal the connection. I've never had any water get in, even when using a pressure washer to clean the bike. I've used these - [image:…
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Never been completely flat out on it. Only 145mph or so. I think that was in fifth (cant be sure) n still pulling nicely. 6th always feels quite a step up in ratio from fifth though. I reckon 5th is the gear to be in…
- Crazy bad gas mileage!!! kaldek Otaylor38 I've just had a quick read at the first page of this. What octane rated fuel are you guys using? On the first page, 91 octane is mentioned and thats premium? Here in the UK, 95 is normal, 97 is premium…

- V4 Went Bang On The Way Home The Other Night.... When was the last time you had the plugs changed? I to, have never seen anything like it
