  1. Saddlebag Liners For The Vfr1200 6 Apr 2015 23:45 I finally found the ones from ventura, $145 ( cant tell if that's plus tax and shipping). And the OEM Honda are $130? (no tax, no shipping for me). spinalator, when you say you bought non oem, what brand did you buy,…
  2. Saddlebag Liners For The Vfr1200 4 Apr 2015 20:37 OEM Honda bag liners list for $130, I would get a discount. seeing the Ventura liners are $145 (+ tax, shipping), unless they are far superior, I would have to be sold to want them instead. I realize, having a saddlebag…
  3. Saddlebag Liners For The Vfr1200 4 Apr 2015 00:51 thanks for replies. I get a discount on the $130 Honda liners, and the link to the ventura liners is too old, wont work. I was hoping something from another Honda model, aftermarket would be a reasonable fit inside the…
  4. Saddlebag Liners For The Vfr1200 3 Apr 2015 03:31 I just purchased the OEM Honda saddlebags for my VFR1200, and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for liners that would fit them?
  5. How Do You Use Your Dct? 30 Nov 2014 20:39 I too agree, "I don't like when it up or down shifts in or out of a curve", this is the one time the auto, shift will not be welcomed. when I first got mine, I would sometime experiment with the buttons, and doing so,…
  6. How Do You Use Your Dct? 20 Nov 2014 04:20 when changing with right hand, one needs to let the grip go, to reach the switch. when changing with the left hand, one can keep the throttle on, and simply toggle to other. you seem to think I didn't like my purchase,…

Just had shoulder surgery, so cant give a thorough full tilt road test. VFR1200 DCT '12. Hope to be able to ride it more soon, and will give more insight. Attached Images [image:…
  8. Ecu Re-Flash - All 4 Threads Merged 23 Oct 2014 23:33 youtube video, for fairing removal was helpful, it was slow to watch. Don called me and did my ECU today, should have it back soon, I'll post up my feelings once I get it running, and have some time on the bike. like…
  9. Ecu Re-Flash - All 4 Threads Merged 23 Oct 2014 02:43 The manual calls it ECM or PCM depending on manual or DCT. Most call it ECU. The black box as others may call it, is located under the fuel tank, in front of the air cleaner box, just behind the steering head. It seems…
  10. Which Honda Engine Oil Is In The 7Th Gen From Factory? 6 Oct 2014 00:39 Every Honda I uncrated, was empty of engine oil. What we put in was what was in the drum that week. Unless the buyer specifically called out a special oil.
  11. Need To Change A Tire, But Have No Stands... 1 Oct 2014 03:18 I cant understand the infatuation with not having a centerstand, I bought the stock centerstand, and used a floor jack under the headers to change the front. I thought about just using the centerstand as a tool, put it…
  12. Vfr1200 2015 1 Oct 2014 03:05 I don't care for the black/white. It looks like a police bike. I struggled with the blue for a long time, but after buying my '012 (see my avatar), I have grown to like it. I doubt if the B/W would ever win me over.
  13. Hesitation 28 Sep 2014 22:01 I would invest in new spark plugs. NOT that I know that's the problem, but if it is, its an easy fix.
  14. Joined The Ranks - Upgraded To A 7Th Gen! 25 Sep 2014 00:41 When I first sat on the VFR1200 at the cycle world show in 2010, there were so many people around it, it was hard to get a good look at it then. Most of what I remember was that I couldn't get over how big the muffler…
  15. How Do You Use Your Dct? 3 Sep 2014 00:32 Yes, with my '12 VFR1200DCT, if you are in S or D mode, and use the left + or - finger triggers to up or downshift, it will. but that is for that one shift, it will then revert back to what it was in, S or D mode, as…
  16. How Do You Use Your Dct? 1 Sep 2014 03:38 I see, yes, I do that. With my '12 pressing the up or down paddles, will downshift, or upshift, but it will resume - revert back to what it was in. This function I do use, but its temporary. I hope this doesn't sound…
  17. How Do You Use Your Dct? 31 Aug 2014 19:40 When I first read about the DCT, so many of the testors seemed to lock into just one of the settings, "put it in S mode", "put it in manual mode", and when I first got mine, I did that, but eventually began…
  18. How Do You Use Your Dct? 27 Aug 2014 02:44 Well, some seem to think there was some insinuation that you don't understand the original question. As a reference, I mentioned that even with a manual clutch, it has its use. So Does the Dual clutch. That you would…
  19. How Do You Use Your Dct? 24 Aug 2014 14:52 I thought I might get others who have it to add some nuance of how and when they use what setting for a suggestion. I should have asked that those who think the DCT is useless to describe fully how they use the clutch…
  20. Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? 23 Aug 2014 23:16 I see, its a small world. I only have 7k on my DCT now. The GSF was a good bike, I was sad when I totaled it, by hitting the deer. It was tuff living with the little VFR800, after having the GSF, it was more like a big…
  21. How Do You Use Your Dct? 23 Aug 2014 22:39 Of course all my previous bikes have been a hand clutch, foot shift. More and more I find the nuances of how the DCT works, and what MODE works best for different types of riding style. For instance. In traffic, I often…
  22. Anybody Else Regret Buying Their Vfr1200? 23 Aug 2014 18:22 I'm new here to the VFR forum page, and wanted to put in my two cents. I had the opportunity to buy a '12 DCT with about 2k miles, used but like new, and I can understand what some speak about, so many testors also…
