  1. I Think Its The R/r 18 Jun 2017 01:17 2 hours ago, VFROZ If you don't get rid of that connector, you'll be replacing it all again soon enough. As has been stated on this site a thousand times, that connection needs to be soldered. Roger that! Will try try…
  2. I Think Its The R/r 17 Jun 2017 20:42 And the battle continues! I fully expected to have to replace the stator today. What I didn't expect, was to have to replace the R/r also. So, I am changing the stator, r/r, and doing oil change again for the second…
  3. I Think Its The R/r 28 May 2017 15:35 Gents, guess what? Time to replace my stator again. Second one in two years! Went with a Rick's this time. Two years ago I replaced the OEM with Electrosport. if this one fails in two years, I will either replace with…
  4. New Member / New Bike (93) 28 Apr 2017 03:32 Great find!! Welcome to an amazing site. That bike looks gorgeous!
  5. New Owner 1 Apr 2017 02:57 Ch8846 Hi Guys, I have ridden for years but have been bike less for the last four. Winters in Michigan are too much. My wife and I just bought property in NC with all those twisted roads, so I had to have another bike.…
  6. How old are VFR owners? 26 Mar 2017 02:27 37 1/2 but I bought mine two years ago. I'm hoping in 30 years, I'm still on it.
  7. Post A Picture Of Your Vfr 13 Feb 2017 01:59 From my ride down the PCH yesterday. This was taken just south of Stinson Beach on the Panoramic Hwy. [image: stinson bch.jpg] [image: stinson.jpg]
  8. PCH-SR128 Ride January 22 24 Jan 2017 11:45 I'm in Florida this week for work so I'm out. Hoping to make it out to a ride to meet you guys soon!
  9. Left-hand turns are more difficult 15 Jan 2017 16:57 I know for sure I am much more comfortable in left hand turns than right handed ones. The thing is, I always have been. I attribute it to the fact that I have had three knee surgeries on my right knee so I am more…
  10. Poll: VFR Rider Ages 15 Jan 2017 02:45 37 and I love it more and more the longer I owe it. Coming up on two years now, had 7 prior bikes and the only one I would give this up for is F8GT. VFR is paid off and I love it so its not going to anyone else anytime…
  11. PCH-SR128 Ride January 22 15 Jan 2017 02:03 I really want to join this! However, I have X-rays and MRI for my knee this week and not sure I could an all dayer. Also, hopefully my steelers will still be in it next after KC tomorrow. So, basically I'm a maybe based…
  12. Poll: VFR Rider Ages 30 Jul 2016 15:56 10 hours ago, Dutchy you get to get the beers..... :-) What kind of beers, Dutchy?
  13. Poll: VFR Rider Ages 30 Jul 2016 03:09 What?! Im in the second to youngest group?! How many points do I get? Do I also get points for being a young gurl?
  14. To seize or not to seize 13 Jul 2016 00:11 So I got an awful squealing sound today as I pulled into work. I pulled in the clutch and it seemed to stop, so I parked and shut it off. Left if for a couple hours and checked it at lunch. It made this sound...…
  15. Looking at buying 86 VF700 9 Jul 2016 17:52 auggius The difference (IMO) is that women can't decide because they don't know what they like, while men can't decide because they like too many! But back to subject at hand, if she likes the VF700, then it could be a…
  16. Where did you go today? 27 Jun 2016 04:38 Terry "The Wall"? Isn't that on the border to Mexico...? Nice pics, looks hot. Different wall [image: emoji6.png] . The ridge was about 88 but the Bay was a wonderful 74 [image: emoji16.png]
  17. Where did you go today? 26 Jun 2016 23:54 I don't know why it took me so long. I have ridden all around it but finally went to The Wall today. A little hazy but still gorgeous. [image: B45B6CC4-E343-4F24-A467-14FE9D60119D_zps] [image:…
  18. Cell phone mount 19 Jun 2016 15:28 [image: 2015-04-18%2015.27.12_zpsgjfownef.jpg] Been using this for the last year and a half. Love it for my cell.
  19. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 20 May 2016 02:25 6 hours ago, ridered One of the most spectacular places on the West Coast. How is this your first trip being that you live in the Bay Area? Depending on how far south you make it, there is a moto museum in Solvang that…
  20. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 19 May 2016 19:25 The good thing is that we are not in a hurry so taking our time down the coast and making as many stops as we want is one of the things we are looking forward too. Thanks for the suggestions and input!
  21. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 19 May 2016 19:24 ridered "There are others but Carmel Valley and Nacimiento-Fergusson Roads belong on the list." Carmel valley rd, yes, but unless you like gravel and bumpy roads, I'd skip Nacimiento-Fergusson. Just road it a couple…
  22. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 16 May 2016 02:47 2FAST4U @Doc4216 I'll tell you what you will want to miss: The gas station. The sole gas station in Big Sur sells 87 octane for $7/gallon. So that you don't think you misread that, I'll spell it out: SEVEN DOLLARS PER…
  23. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 16 May 2016 01:56 5 hours ago, BrianF Fish and chips in Lucia are amazing. McWay Falls is a must. Nacimiento Fergusson road is brilliant, but a little goaty. 17 mile drive doesn't allow motorbikes. Make sure you stop a lot - take photos,…
  24. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 15 May 2016 18:17 So I had planned to take a trip up the north part of PCH next weekend but due to it forecasted to rain all day Saturday, we are now heading south to Monterey. Not that big of a deal as I have wanted to see that area and…
  25. Cell phone holder for 97 Honda VFR 750? 7 May 2016 17:05 This is what I have used for quite awhile for my 6s. You can adjust the sides for whatever case you have on your phone and the springs work great.…
  26. May 7Th Bay Area Roll Call Ride - Fact Or Fiction? 2 May 2016 03:30 Jeff, I haven't met you yet but I am hoping for a speedy recovery! This ride looks amazing but I don't know if I will have the viffer back from Evolution by then. Im getting a suspension upgrade done for the first time…
  27. I Think Its The R/r 19 Apr 2016 15:18 So new events this weekend. Rode over to the city (about 20 minutes), voltmeter showing normal. As we are at stops, I notice the voltmeter start dropping almost a whole number 13.8 to 13.1-12.9 but when I get going…
  28. Why I Chose The Vfr 800F 16 Apr 2016 16:13 Congrats on finding the right bike! That's exactly how I felt when I bought mine!
  29. I Think Its The R/r 15 Apr 2016 19:37 Yes and I can't find anything.
  30. I Think Its The R/r 15 Apr 2016 17:30 So I replaced my stator and R/r in October, also added a voltmeter at the same time. Over the winter I installed heated elements to my grips and Hyperlites. Have put about 2k on the bike since I did the stator and now I…
  31. Heated Gloves Or Grips? 11 Jan 2016 02:41 Just put on a set like this over the last two weeks. Rode for about 5 hours today and they worked so well that I only used the low setting.…
  32. In San Fransico 26 Nov 2015 16:57 So many great restaurants, hard to go wrong. Go hiking in the Marin headlands or lands end for some amazing views of the city and then over to Sausalito and eat at Fish. If you are only staying in the city, definitely…
  33. K&n Oil Filter 26 Oct 2015 18:42 Makes me wish I would have read this before changing my oil while replacing the stator. The bike had a K&N on it when I bought it and I replaced it with the same one. I will keep an eye on it for sure and have a spare…
  34. I Think Its The R/r 26 Oct 2015 02:56 27k
  35. I Think Its The R/r 26 Oct 2015 02:13 [image: 4b67befdb9d5df119cdd67a4676de0b9.jpg] Yup, I'd say it's the stator!
  36. I Think Its The R/r 18 Oct 2015 16:35 I charged both my old and my new battery. Had them tested at parts store, both checked out good. So, I replaced my R/R friday night and took it for a test ride. The results are not good. Now my voltmeter is reading 11.7…
  37. Newbie With Questions 12 Oct 2015 02:43 Since you're new and in the Bay Area, check out the Doc Wong riding clinics (free) that will help greatly in developing riding skills. An MSF class or similar is one weekend then you move on. Doc Wong clinics happen on…
  38. I Think Its The R/r 10 Oct 2015 00:51 Thanks. I will check the output. Then, replace if necessary.
  39. I Think Its The R/r 10 Oct 2015 00:15 Initially I thought is was my stator but now I think it is the R/R. So I did "the drill" as follows and got these findings: These are R/R quick checks--- --- With voltmeter at battery get voltages -- idle volts? 5000…
  40. Worst Week Ever? You Decide! 22 Sep 2015 03:47 Not the worst week ever! You walked away from both and now you either get to wrench on a bike you love or get another VFR! Sounds like a win to me. Glad you're okay!
  41. What did you own before your 6th Gen? 3 Aug 2015 03:46 Here's my list. Started riding street in July '08, yes I have gone through a bit in the first 7 years. Definitely took me going back and forth before absolutely knowing I love STs. The only thing I would change is for…
  42. Bar Risers/ Low Seat 1 Aug 2015 19:11 I bought my bike (6th gen) with risers and what seems to be a shaved seat. I am 5'7" and it fits me perfectly. No wrist pain and all day comfort.
  43. Different Strokes 11 Jun 2015 01:35 Always a great ride up that way!
  44. Day Ride-Rolling Thund3R Review Hits Silicon Valley..twice. 8 May 2015 03:26 I am going to try to make the 23rd.
  45. A New Door Opens, A Vf500Fii 3 May 2015 15:36 keny I just counted I has only had 16h of sleep the past 84 hours! Next night in own bed will be nice. But we sleep when we dead, right Pure excitement and adrenaline will make that happen. Glad you got home safe with…

  48. Spotted Thread? 13 Apr 2015 01:51 MBrane Look in the section for your region. If you can't find one then start one. BTW saw a fully loaded 5th gen on the S/B 101 today around noon in the SFV. Thanks!
  49. Spotted Thread? 13 Apr 2015 00:33 Is there a spotted thread on here? If not, should we have one? Another forum I am on has one and it's always a bit fun to see if the person/bike you saw is a member. Just wondering?
  50. Post A Picture Of Your Vfr 12 Apr 2015 00:38 czargee Just picked up a vinyl cutter and I'm about to spicy up the viffer a little bit — added an RC46 decal in black reflective vinyl. [image: 14a3c983e145469db1f40032ea75cdda.jpg] The VFR with the M109R [image:…
