All 23- Power Commander V Well, I've done a very bad thing... A buddy of mine wanted my help to buy a Harley. To make a long (very long) story short, he rode out on a nice 1200, and I rode out on a new 2014 Night Rod with Stage 1 mods... Between…
- Power Commander V Looks like we are weeks away from being able to get the PCV for the new VFR. I've never had a PC for any of my fuel injected bikes, so I was wondering - can you really tell the difference? I have to be honest, I wish…
- Traction Control... I feel my ABS all the time. But I also ride quite hard and brake/downshift pretty aggressively sometimes. You know that's not a good thing, right? :)
- Traction Control... Same feelings here, its quite annoyingly slow to let go. Wish it was multimode like the Kawi N1000 but we can't have everything I guess. I just turn it off if I'm out to play, and leave it on for more mundane rides.
- Shifting When Hot I rode it to work again this morning, and I heard the same hard shift once when I was being lazy and up shifting at too low rpm into 3rd. Last night my ride back was crappy last 10 miles, with stop and go most of the…
- Shifting When Hot Haven't experienced anything like that on mine, running Honda HP4S 10w30 full synthetic. Haven't burned a drop of oil in ~3300 miles either. You do know 10w30 is recommended, right? Mine's not burning any oil either and…
- Shifting When Hot Probably being paranoid , but just wanted to get some opinions - took my bike to work for the first time today, which is 35 miles of highway mixed with some heavier street traffic. Probably first time that the bike got…
- Power, Torque And Decelleration Graphs By Eu Bike Magazine Rectaltronics To turn off the grip heater just give it one long press. I curse the new horn button location, and the reach is too far especially with the heater control in the way. While I've accidentally hit the horn a…
- Techspec tank pads or similar You might want to verify where your knees actually contact the tank. I found that most of my knee/leg sits on that plastic trim part. So only a small bit of protection will be needed. Definitely enough contact for me to…
- Techspec tank pads or similar I've had Stompgrip on my Kawi 9R a while back, and while great for track, it was a bit too aggressive for street for me, so I'm looking for something milder. Techspecs seems to fit the bill. I'm thinking about just…
- Techspec tank pads or similar Anybody install pre-cut TechSpec pads that fit well for the knee pads? Or something similar? I can't find anything decent locally so I need to order on-line, but don't want to play the return game too much....
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Wow, that sucks man...
- Aftermarket Pipes For Gen 8 Hehe, you beat m to it, but I had to go for a ride after installing it... Overall, I guess I was expecting a bit more change in sound. It's got a good rumble at low revs, but can't notice much difference after 7k rpm.…
- Any Good Shorter Rides Around Dfw? Thanks guys! Looks like I have few things to try. So far I've put 500 miles on the bike just riding around the local lakes, but finding curvy roads here is challenging on your own... And riding at slower speeds in this…
- Alarm/security Rectaltronics dfh Why not fit the Honda accessory alarm designed to fit the 8th Gen? Not as full-featured, i.e. no proximity mechanism, doesn't look like it has an ignition kill, the remote doesn't tell you anything…
- Alarm/security I ordered the harness kit from older VFR, and it does not work. However, the install couldn't be simpler with the generic kit. Just did it in under an hour, and most of that time was figuring out where to place…
- Riding Again After An Accident I had only one major crash outside of track, but it was a fun one... I needed my tires changed, so I rode my bike to a dealer 20+ miles away, and my best friend drove my truck with the tires in the back. About 3-4 miles…
- Any Good Shorter Rides Around Dfw? Can anybody recommend any good 2-4 hour rides around DFW area? I have moved down here 5 years ago, and have never ridden a bike anywhere but work.... Sold my last bike 4 years ago before my twins were born, and never…
- Shoei Gt Air ? I wear XL, and tried both XL GT Air and RF-1200. For my American noggin' GT Air was just too tight, and the opening is so narrow, annoying. RF-1200 with 31mm cheek pads is perfect, probably the most comfortable helmet…
- Couple Small Questions Thanks for the pix! I don't have the clip in the pix. Now I know I'm not crazy :) I guess it's up to the laziness of the mechanic putting the bike together to make sure all the little parts are installed...
- Couple Small Questions 1. Did your bike come with black cover for the steering stem? Mine didn't and the dealer insists that's how it comes, but the pictures on Honda's website shows the cover. Not really big deal as I'm putting a stem mount…
- Alarm/security Thanks man, looks like Scorpio is hard to beat. Got it on order!
- Alarm/security Hey everyone, just got a White '14 VFR800 Deluxe yesterday! Loving the bike, and would like to keep it for a while so I've been thinking about getting an alarm. Looking at either the Scorpio i900 or the Gorilla 9100. Do…
