All 32- Intermittent Starting Mine's done it pretty much since I've had it, ignored it after a while as it's not got better or worse.
- Fitted An Automatic Chain Oiler Have a tutoro on mine, it's been on there since I got it, at its 12k service I was told the fling has coated the caliper, it didn't affect braking in any way and the pads weren't contaminated but since then, I have…
- Power Commander Right then, My ride to Preston happened yesterday, Fair play to the bike giving me relative comfort for 460 miles, 8 hrs riding was looking like a challenge but was surprisingly easy. Now the results, Firstly, the US…
- Power Commander I have an appointment with dynojet in preston in a couple of weeks to provide them my bike for the purposes of generating a map. It will cover the 8th gen, honda sports kit akro can and k&n air filter. The best map…
- Diet For Bike As far as moar powah goes, Ive gone with a k&n air filter on top of the after market can, I've added a pc5 but am yet to dyno run the bike so just losing fuel quicker than before. Removing too much stuff would reduce…
- Alternative To The Plastic Clips? Buy loads and replace when they get a little frail. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1e7b171b5e
- More Brake Issues..... I personally wouldn't wait until the next service, nip it in the bud now before it gets worse, it doesn't sound like what I had, it sounds worse. I didn't have that much play in my lever, are your seals ok? If my…
- Engine Died Aren't the vtec valves activated by oil pressure, could there be too much oil in since its service?
- Ecu Flash Yeah the 2 cylinder thing was a joke by the way. I ride through the city and filter at sub walking pace when needed, I would say that this bike is the best balanced at low speeds and has good pull without being snatchy…
- Ecu Flash Would it be possible to flash the ECU of the VFR800F? And if so, what would you like to have changed/optimized? After all the miles I've driven, the major thing I dislike is the low rev speeds in 1st and 2nd gear. The…
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? Jochem Shinigami ...the self canceling isn't a problem as long as you activate it for every actual maneuver... Yes, for those of us that have maneuvers lasting exactly 120m (394ft) below 50km/h (31mph) or lasting 7…
- Front Braking Unevenness And Judder Bike's gone in, front brake pistons are pitted, they'll be replaced under warranty. Good old 1st line :)
- Front Braking Unevenness And Judder Unfortunately I don't have anywhere suitable to work on the bike to that level, I also am constantly tight for time, today for instance I'm doing 0500 to 2345 in the city. I have however booked the bike in for next…
- Front Braking Unevenness And Judder Just read the linked post, looks like I may have a challenge on my hands with my dealer. See how it goes.
- Front Braking Unevenness And Judder Fair enough, was used every day throughout winter, will look at that. Thanks for the replies.
- Front Braking Unevenness And Judder I'm getting uneven braking, as in one side is doing nothing. As far as the judder goes, I noticed that it only seems to happen when the brakes have been used a bit, mostly in traffic, today I thought I'd check to see…
- Rc79 Fuel Economy I've had my highest average yet, 47MPG, this is with a 35 mile urban run in London, the next day 90 miles on motorways at around 70 mph. My lowest has also been recent, 30 MPG mainly due to very cold mornings and short…
- Anyone Else Disappointed With The Head Lamps? In recent weeks, I've become aware that dark and especially wet roads aren't being lit very well by the headlight within the close quarters of the bike, the wet roads make it terrible to see much at all at night, I've…
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? Sliderule thanks. Top job there, was wondering if there was a simple fix like that, nicely done. At last I can concentrate on the road rather than my indicators to see if they're still on. By reading previous comments,…
- Anyone Else Disappointed With The Head Lamps? Yeah, high beam either on the pass button or the switch gives you high beam on top of dipped, dipped never goes off.
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? Makes sense, seeing as alot of drivers here fail to indicate anyway, might as well do that ourselves.
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? Anyway, rant over, and back to the question in the title...................Any ideas? Yeah. Introduce normal usage of roundabouts in the UK.All complaints about this so far came from the British, because apparently you…
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? You also hate the self-canceling turn signals in your car? Or does your eidetic memory also work there? And by definition forgetting to turn your turn signals off means you don't remember, so it could have happened a…
- Quickshifter Ahh, nice one.
- Quickshifter Perhaps, I was offered it by my dealer (first line) and pretty sure I saw it in the brochure too. But not exactly shouted about by Honda themselves it would seem.
- Quickshifter What exactly is a the sport pack? It's the £800 option that has an akro end can, QS, HRC tank pad and a hugger. Works out quite a lot cheaper than buying it all separately
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? I think I've forgotten only a couple of times over my 14 years of riding, not bad I guess, it's instinctive to press the button whenever I've made a turn. If there's lots of people on leaving indicators on then maybe…
- Anyone Know How To Turn Off Those Self Cancelling Indicators? They annoy me, they turn off sometimes when on roundabouts, fine if you don't mind people pulling out on you thinking you're going straight when you're actually going right. There's no need for them, at this level of…
- Quickshifter Got to post this, Recently fitted the sport pack that comes with the QS, was fun and felt nice to use, until one morning, some leathered up lad with no mirrors and tinted visor pulls up to me on a cbr600RR, a model down…
- Led turnsignal lamps You could always just remove a bulb, that should flash the remaining one faster.
- Anyone Else Disappointed With The Head Lamps? I based my concerns of the level of these lights from previous experiences and the fact that it was over the top of the number plate of the car in front. Coupled with the fact that there was little light within 5 meters…
- Anyone Else Disappointed With The Head Lamps? Just got my vfr on Friday, was also concerned about the lights, took it out onto a country road with no lighting, I noticed the beam was a little high so decided to pull over and adjust it, found the knob on the left…
