Last 50 of 232- Honda VFR800 2017 Spare Key ? cost after market I'm pretty sure there is at least one Aussie who got a suitable key for cheap (from eBay?). Google using "site:vfrdiscussion.com".
- 94 VFR replacing leaking fork seals, what oil for stock springs/light rider? 4 hours ago, NateV8 Wait so the air gap should be 177mm? If the air gap should be 177mm then how is 100mm low? Wouldn't that be high? Low air gap, high oil level. Whichever you prefer.
- 94 VFR replacing leaking fork seals, what oil for stock springs/light rider? 12 hours ago, auggius 177mm is what the service manual says Yup ! Also bear in mind that the 4G's forks have a 130 mm stroke. Rough rule of thumb, use the stroke figure as a starting point for the air gap so 100 mm is…
- 94 VFR replacing leaking fork seals, what oil for stock springs/light rider? The 4G's forks take a 5W stock but you can certainly use up to 15W (I used to) without undue harshness, IMO. However, since you're pretty light you may not need to. The excessive dive you're currently experiencing is to…
- Honda caught sleeping with the V4 revival 1 hour ago, PeterUC I actually think it more has to do with emissions rather than WSBK displacement parity. The Desmoquadro is already pretty extreme in its bore / stroke ratio, yet Ducati would like to field a 1299…
- Taking it to a whole new level I shudder every time an announcement from the TT organisers pops up in my FB news feed but nobody has to race there. Those who choose to have my undying respect for their skills, courage and the way they live their…
- Full synthetic oil for more mileage. . 8 hours ago, JED13 Before anyone responds about clutch slippage, How about the typical motorcycle gearbox which is integral to the engine ? Does that not require specific additives not present in car engine oils ?
- Full synthetic oil for more mileage. . Yeah. Stick to the manufacturer's recommended viscosity for the typical temperatures in your area. And brand name is basically your only guarantee of quality. You can get your used motor oil analysed at regular…
- A new VFRed frenchman ! 1 hour ago, Coatzin (maybe I'll add a baguette to it :goofy: ). T'oublie pas le marcel, le béret basque, le litron de gros qui tache et le calendos, hein ! :tongue: 1 hour ago, Coatzin Plus, I'm currently looking for a…
- Incognito 53 minutes ago, Bent If BMW made a good all around bike like the VFR is, I would probably have it. R1200RS ? You can't beat the GS for all-round road use, IMO. Of course, it's uglier than a warthog ( :goofy: ) but it is…
- CBR 1000 wheel for 6th gen VFR ? 9 minutes ago, jhenley17 [...] that rear wheel just wasn't happening for me. Good man ! :cool: :laugh: It looks like a great ride but it has a bland IL4 and the wheels are really overstyled and podgy, IMO. Now, where's…
- CBR 1000 wheel for 6th gen VFR ? 1 hour ago, KevCarver CB1000R 15 lbs, 10 oz So, on top of being uglier than sin, it's also made of lead ? :goofy:
- Vtec Shock Options 3 minutes ago, Misterbish Thanks for confirming the fitment. You are welcome. One thing that might give you grief, though is the remote preload hose and knob. I'm not positive that they are routed to the same side and…
- Vtec Shock Options 44 minutes ago, Misterbish Hi All Does anyone know if a VFR1200 2011 rear shock fit into a 6 gen 2004 800 Thanks in advance They are not identical but close enough that the 1200 should be usable. The mounting points are…
- VFR 800 front wheel on a 4th gen ??? 4 hours ago, trjerm Can you use a Vfr800 front wheel on a 94 VFR?? And if so what mods are needed, seems like the rotors sit approx 1/4" too wide ! I Yes, the rotor spacing is too wide even though the rotor offset is…
- Replace '97 with a '01???? 1 hour ago, jhenley17 Taking donations to make a fair comparison. Now you're talking. Unfortunately, I seem to have mislaid my wallet. Sorry. :pinocchio:
- Replace '97 with a '01???? 5 minutes ago, jhenley17 [...] it seems to be very similar to the 4th to me. Blasphemy ! :ohmy: :pissed: Behead the infidel ! Flog him to death ! :beatdeadhorse:
- RIP Nicky @ Ten Kate HQ, Nieuwleusen Oh, right ! Figured it was probably the case but... RIP, Nicky. I hope his loved ones find solace in their faith in these testing times. :mellow:
- Replace '97 with a '01???? 13 minutes ago, jhenley17 Y'all don't like the 5th gen styling? It's one of my favorites. Words come to mind like: "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", "To each their own" or "Jesus man, get your eyes examined !".…
- Replace '97 with a '01???? 7 minutes ago, CandyRedRC46 I have been summoned Holy smoke, it really works ! :ohmy:
- RIP Nicky @ Ten Kate HQ, Nieuwleusen Thanks Dutchy. :mellow: Anybody knows if Nicky was a religious person ? Not the sort of thing I usually pay any attention to but it sadly became relevant on that fateful day. :sad:
- Replace '97 with a '01???? 1 hour ago, vegaquark There is always room for improvement. [image: emoji12.png] You forgot to ditch the frame and that overweight SSSA. :laugh: Also, @CandyRedRC46 will no doubt be around soon to explain how superior…
- Replace '97 with a '01???? 5 hours ago, VFR750 Apart from possibly the Fi I don't see any improvement over the 4 the gen. Heavier bike, 2 rads. and linked brakes. Really where's the improvement? The brakes may be linked but they are actually a…
- Replace '97 with a '01???? A carburettor bank is a thing of beauty. GDC's are unnecessary. And the 5th Gen still looks like a scared, obese blowfish so, there ! :tongue:
- Replace '97 with a '01???? 44 minutes ago, vegaquark You've got to explain yourself or die [image: emoji23.png] Basically, I'm not crazy about the looks. Come at me bad boy ! :tongue:
- Replace '97 with a '01???? As the expert on everything, let me give you the low down on this: 4th Gen rock. 6th Gen rule. 5th Gen suck. :goofy:
- Honda N600 Car with VFR-800 Engine Already posted here, I think. Still cool, though. :comp13: 
- This time it's for real Nicky Hayden has pasted away ! I heard he ran through a stop sign. Could be a load of BS, I just don't know. At any rate, it's not our place to assign blame, especially in the absence of solid evidence.
- Battery left in bike all winter, can it be saved? Nah ! Replace it. I know "dead" batteries (sulfation) can actually be revived in many cases but it takes a special purpose made charger which I have no idea where to find and even so there is no guarantee as some…
- Incognito 14 hours ago, MaxSwell But I'd nominate you for excommunication from VFRD if you brought that to one of our rallies. :wink: I volunteer to sit on the tribunal. Everyone is entitled to a fair trial before being burnt at…
- Nicky Hayden in serious accident in Italy Genuinely sad tonight...  :sad: 
- Nicky Hayden in serious accident in Italy 5 minutes ago, Switchblade Bad news Nicky just passed away ! Sad. Very sad. :sad: 
- Nicky Hayden in serious accident in Italy Looks bad. Really bad. :sad: Get well soon, Nicky.
- Braided front brake lines 19 hours ago, coupedupsubie [...] which allows the forks to extend fully. Good thinking. :wink: I heard of one case where that little detail was overlooked leading to the brake lines snapping clean off upon the first…
- New donation from RC36Rider Hi RC36Rider, Thank you for your donation of $10.00. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
- Check out this beast that parked by me 5 minutes ago, Nelix It may do the first, even the second with members of his own sex. You homophobe ! I bet you voted for Trump. :goofy: :tongue: Edit: I see that you are in Scotland but I won't let that trivial detail…
- Check out this beast that parked by me AFAIK it is illegal in the US to let your front wheel leave the ground so the only way you can enjoy the full acceleration of a litre sportsbike is to fit one of these goofy lengthened swingarms. :wheel: Feel free to…
- Dunlop Roadsmart 3's 7 hours ago, sdouble The bike seems to be 30 pounds lighter. +1 The bike rolls smoothly and evenly from side to side which really gives the impression of a lighter bike. I also find them confidence inspiring in all…
- My RC30 Awesome. :wheel: Who is the manufacturer ?
- Feed rheinmetall Beast: AAA Gasoline study Comparing Hi and Low end Gas 38 minutes ago, Auspanglish It was reading your subconscious? Projection much ? :laugh: I swear I never, ever, typed this awful word on my phone. :pinocchio: :goofy: OK. Back to gas fellas. :offtopic: Edited April 28 by…
- Feed rheinmetall Beast: AAA Gasoline study Comparing Hi and Low end Gas 45 minutes ago, zupatun Also, sorry about the title...my phone inserted rheinmetall for "the"...F YOU autocorrect! Could be worse. Mine once inserted "sodomy" in a text to my GF. :goofy: I'll be damned if I know why.…
- Anybody Use a Nitron rear shock? 18 hours ago, FairWeatherFellow Also has anyone heard about these guys? http://www.daughertymotorsports.com/ They have a revalved and resprung 929 rear shock with an adapter for $420.... sounds like a smashing deal to…
- Should have got a VFR sooner!! Warbusrazorback, 18/04/2017 at 1:55 AM Hello all. Just recently discovered VFR's. Got a great deal on a 6th gen. I've had many bikes but never a VFR. Never too late to come to one's senses. :goofy: Welcome to the forum.…
- '17 VFR v. '17 Ducati SuperSport S (MCN Comparo) 5 hours ago, Audible You only have to look at the extra's that the Ninja and VFR have and why they are heavier bikes to see that the Ducati isn't really a sports tourer. A 16 litre fuel tank and no centre stand for a…
- '17 MotoGP of the Americas (SPOILER ALERT) 53 minutes ago, thepretender Best part of the weekend was when Baz went down er UP as if by magic during qualifying. https://streamable.com/c43cs Probably the only situation where being absurdly tall puts him at an…
- RC213v op costs 7 hours ago, Bent If you won the lottery and decided to learn to be a world class rider, don't you think you could do that? No, I don't. I believe in talent and I'm quite sure I'm not racer material no matter how hard I…
- Noise from R/R 1 hour ago, 11jalrge I rechecked battery and found 12.24 volts cold not running. Unless there was a good reason for the battery to be fairly deeply discharged that's really too low. :unsure: 12.9 after charging is a bit…
- RC213v op costs 3 hours ago, Bent I would call that a nightmare bike. Yeah, maybe. :wink: I don't think I would actually buy one even if I won the lottery. It would likely kill the dream. :laugh: It would certainly kill my delusions of…
- European Tour (UK <-> Großglockner), July '17 Sounds terrific. :cheerleader: Can't commit right now but I'll be watching. Hopefully you'll still have a spot by the time I make up my mind. :unsure: Otherwise, I'll be expecting a ride report with pictures (lots).…
- RC213v op costs 4 hours ago, lazyeye Seems a little steep considering a SBK R1 build from EDR or Graves will cost about as much The thing is ridiculously expensive in every way but that's exactly why it is a dream bike. :wub:
