All 44- Longest Trip Ever I'm with the majority, I did 4,800 km around lake superior in 6 days, and the first 2 days were just endless highway riding so my buddy and I could meet up, and then we did between 200 and 400 miles a day, taking our…
- Tire Thickness When Showing Cord [image: DSC00371_800_wz_50px.jpg] Gotta love the prairies for only using the middle of the tire. I did 1,000km on that tire (cords started showing when I was 2 provinces away on a trip, and there were no shops open in…
- P.e.i. / Nova Scotia Riding ? Cabot Trail. End of story.
- Anyone Have Something Positive On The Vfr1200? I dunno, I get confused when I see people saying how great a bike it is and in the same sentence they explain how many parts they've had to add or engine control components have been added or re-flashed. Anyway.. My fav…
- 2012 Vfr1200 Fuel Requirements And Shaft Drive Gear Lube It's that useless fuel gauge that makes me nervous. 1st segment is around 100km before it vanishes, the next 6 take around 100km betwen them. Once the last one is flashing, I get nervous.
- 2012 Vfr1200 Fuel Requirements And Shaft Drive Gear Lube Not going to lie, with the 1200, there are probably a few areas on the 17 through Ontario where I'd be a bit nervous about making it between stations. I think my longest record for range with the VFR is around 230km…
- 2012 Vfr1200 Fuel Requirements And Shaft Drive Gear Lube Can't find 93 octane north of the border, afaik... I've never seen it available anyway :P 91 is fine. Plenty of 93 and 94 Octane in Manitoba as well as rest of Canada. There are three Shell Stations selling 94 in…

- How Would You Perform This Operation? small magnet on a string?
- Project 156 Video: Is Victory Building A Sport Model? Wow, Don will be busy this year, I was just reading in Cycle World that they are going to be competing again like they did last year with the Multi.
- Don't Cry For Me Argentina Spoiler Post race interview with Cal who took 3rd "I would like to thank the people that wrote me off...." :-) After taking the flag he already "signalled" with his arms... I gotta say I was one of them, I like cal, but I…
- Eric Buell Racing Shuts Down Operations Erik Buell is a decent designer/engineer and (apparently) a horrible businessman... Still sucks to hear he's having to close up shop. As has been said he needed to try to compete with the japanese makes and just make a…
- Plasti Dip Plastidip is a rubberized coating that is removable, as far as I know it is not available in gloss finishes (but they are coming out with new "textures" all the time, so maybe this is not still the case) You spray it on…
- Plasti Dip Anyone who is expecting a paint-like finish from plastidip needs to get their heads checked... Looks good, OP.
- Motogp Video Pass I started paying for videopass back in 2013 and haven't regretted it once. I don't even care what it costs, consider there are between 15 and 20 sessions each race weekend it's cheap since I watch just about every…
- Good News Casey Stoner Fans! I don't know how Casey will ever be able to finish an 8 hour endurance race, if his lactose intolerance is why he quit grand prix motorcycle racing :P
- Dam......i Want That! If the canadian dollar ever rebounds some, I think I might pick up one of those
- Vinyl Wrapping I plastidipped my R1 last summer, and vinyl wrapped the tank because plastidip does not handle friction well... Vinyl wrapping is a lot of work, I seem to recall it took several hours to get the tank done (mostly…
- Some Honda Docs Found On T'internet There are a couple little blurbs on the 2010 VFR1200 in a couple "the wrench" issues from 2010. Nothing groundbreaking as you said, but still, thanks for sharing. They actually include instructions on how to clear water…
- Pinstripped the white wheels Very nice, goes great with the RWB.
- Suffering off season bug worldsbk starts at phillip island this weekend%e2%80%8f Well, that was an interesting opening to the season. What did you decide for access? I'm going with the month-month wsbk & gp subscription to try it out and see if the full season price is worth it. If you want the best…
- Bi-Xenon Hid Projector Retrofit neat mod, thanks for sharing
- Havent Been Here A While. Any Fixes For The Touchy Throttle By Wire In First Yet? My biggest complaint about my "new" (1,300km) 2010 VFR1200 (non DCT) is how jerky the fuelling is in 1st and 2nd... I think people had said the ECU flash fixed it on the manual transmission bikes, dunno about DCT.
- Digital Dash For A Vfr1200? that looks harder to read than OEM If by harder to read, you mean cluttered, I'll agree it's a bit busy... But it's a TN panel TFT display, which are typically very legible in bright sunlight, which was the OP's concern.
- Digital Dash For A Vfr1200? Dunno if it would work with a VFR, but I've seen lots of guys do installs of the translogic microdash on their R1's and it looks awesome. http://www.translogi.../micro-dash.php [image: digital-lcd-gauges-md3.jpg]
- Project Vader - Custom In Poland Nice! Much respect for basing the theme of your bike on a metal band! Keep us updated
- M4 Gp Exhaust Pipe On 90-97? I was actually looking at that same M4 pipe earlier today wondering how hard it would be to fab up an adaptor to put it on my 2010 1200 :)
- The Cheesy Plastic Black Piece With The Fake Frame Wield Point: Vfr 1200 Dutchy Yep, Honda 's robots know how to weld! fixed ;)
- The Cheesy Plastic Black Piece With The Fake Frame Wield Point: Vfr 1200 There's no fake "wield" (weld?) point on my bike, that's the frame, as BrianF has mentioned. [image: DSC01076_800_wz_50px.jpg]
- Proof Honda Has Eyes For Motogp Only So if a manufacturer wins the 1st season but ends that year's production on 249, will they be stripped of the trophy?Or if they did build 250, but in the 2nd year reach 999 or pull out of the competition, will must they…
- Proof Honda Has Eyes For Motogp Only Honda need to make 2000 bikes to run it in WSBK (if the rules have not changed) compared to ducati or other small companies that have to make 200, its easy to sell 200 specials, especially when half go to race teams,…
- Causes For Excessive 5Th Gen Mileage What on earth would a stuck thermostat have to do with poor mileage? For the record, I'm not trying to be confrontational, I'm interested to hear if this is actually a cause for poor mileage.
- Valencia testing did hayden test I think you're only fooling yourself... This season Hayden was rarely the fastest customer Honda on the track, he was beaten by the rookie Redding, and quite frequently his teammate on the exact same bike. Yeah he had…
- Valencia testing did hayden test Considering Hayden did 44 laps and Rossi did 13... It took Hayden 24 laps to get his best, and Rossi 8 :P Granted, Hayden is on a new bike, but still :P
- Valencia testing did hayden test Yeah Nicky's days are probably numbered... I've never been a huge fan, he is a champion due to circumstances, not due to amazing talent. He's not a bad rider, but compared to the current fast guys (Rossi is working so…
- Sidewinder Sprockets Word Of Warning TBH, If I ever came across that website, I'd know from looking at it that I'm probably better off buying elsewhere :P
- Valencia testing did hayden test No, Eugene Laverty had the sole Aspar racing bike for today. His times weren't great, but it's his first day (and I believe he was on the 2014 customer bike) From what I recall hearing, they only have the one 2015 bike…
- Flash Ecu Vfr1200 Conclusion... Please Only Experience From People Who Have Theire 1200Ecu Flashed, No Speculations Only Facts! I'll put both of those mods on my "to do" list... If I'm planning on buying a slip-on, should I wait and get the flash done after, or does it not matter since it's just a slipon?
- Flash Ecu Vfr1200 Conclusion... Please Only Experience From People Who Have Theire 1200Ecu Flashed, No Speculations Only Facts! From what I've read, I need to save up some shekels so that I can send my ECU away over the winter break... As it is, I'm regretting buying my 2010 a month ago :( It is just nothing like I had expected, rough, choppy…
- Shipping A Ecu Where in Manitoba are you? I use a place in Dunseith, ND called Border Shipping Services to save on brokerage fees at the border, but I've never used them to send something out before.
- Custom Devil Dual Underseat Exhaust System Man I wish it was possible to rig something like this up for the 1200F, great work! (I only assume it's not possible since nobody has done it yet?)
- Just Installed Delkevic System Nice, reminds me of my Bos Brother's on my 07 R1.
- Honda Heated Grips I scanned my operation manual for you (large images): [image: 001.jpg] [image: 002.jpg] [image: 003.jpg]
- What's Wrong With Redslut? Nice effect in the OP, explains what is obviously a concrete joint (now what we all know the trick, anyway)
