Last 50 of 66- Color code for bronze triple tree / risers Just tried my second go around with Pyrite Brown YR-325M from two different paint suppliers and both were equally way too dark, so I can only conclude that it's not the right color. Has anyone else had any luck with…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? I love my 14" Delkevic - makes the V4 sound glorious! Not too loud, especially when compared to the Arrow slip-ons installed on my Ducati S4R. I would not go shorter than the 14" version[image:…
- Custom Fairing kit for 8th Gen VFR’s Nice work! Yes, I'd be interested. Sadly, Japanese bodywork design of the past couple decades has been going downhill - same with their car design. Too many ephemeral and meaningless added slashes, and unresolved lines.…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Dutchy +2 BHP!!! [image: :goofy:] I'll get it dynoed, but I think the stickers could be worth 3bhp! [image: emoji1.png]
- What did you do to your VFR Today? To cold to ride = apply new go-faster decals![image: ce4a51d318d47b2eca3a8aa93c64ba5e.jpg]
- How do you have your pillion configured? Cowl and block-offs (unless I'm on a tour with side bags). This looks so much better![image: 61d45a80bf397112bf1f1c430fdfe60a.jpg]
- Color code for bronze triple tree / risers Thanks very much sfdownhill!
- Color code for bronze triple tree / risers Hey guys, My Ram mount left a big scratch in the paint of my bar riser. Does anyone know the color code for the light bronze paint on the triple tree/riser? I checked the manual and paint code sticker under the seat,…
- Say it isn't so! 900cc for me [image: emoji16.png]
- Say it isn't so! Although I love Ducati (I'm on my 4th and did more than a dozen track days on my 749), and agree there is a lot of useful trickle down technology from Moto GP, not necessarily everything translates to the street. What's…
- Say it isn't so! The Aprilia V4s are fabulous, and 10 years ahead of Ducati. They've been tweaking it to perfection. I think it was Sport Rider who did a top sport bike comparison a year or so ago after the Ducati came out. It included…
- Say it isn't so! vfrcapn By the end of the year you'll be able to buy that bike with a V4, made by Ducati. The new Multistrada will meet all those criteria with adaptive cruise control and 160hp, for $20K+ though. I want a full fairing…
- Say it isn't so! My mistake, I should have been more specific - the VFR800 has essentially been re-skinned for the past 20 years!
- Say it isn't so! Agreed, but I still want that V4 engine in my sport touring bike. If you could put the VFR V4 in the Ducati SS that would be Nirvana!
- Say it isn't so! It seems the biggest problem with the VFR is Honda has essentially been selling a re-skinned version of the same bike for 20 years now. Yes, the minor tweaks and refinements have been nice, but it's specs just don't…
- Say it isn't so! I think I just heard a cha-ching sound coming from my garage as the value of my 2014 just went up.
- Passenger seat cowling standard? For some reason, this has been a point of confusion with most dealers. I asked the same when I bought my base model 2014 (in 2016) because the last remaining model on the floor had the rear seat and grab handles…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Seems that most tire manufacturers make a series of cheap tires to compete to win the bid to be an OEM supplier - it's a great contract to get. But I don't think they're usually a good representation of the…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Mohawk Is that the air intake I spy above the rad with that plastic scoop ? Yes it is Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Installed a radiator guard on my '14 - was able to do it without removing the fairings (barely). [image: 1228f1203cdfbaf0508aa30650294373.jpg] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
- Brand new to the VFR world :) ...not to mention, how do you hang-off in a corner without your outside knee firmly gripped on the tank? Remember, you should never use the bars for support to hang-off, just your legs... Sent from my Pixel 2 using…
- Brand new to the VFR world :) flya750 ? Not sure I understand. The inside of my knees/thighs are always against the sides of the tank. I ride with my butt towards the back of the seat and my legs squeezing the tank slightly - this helps take your…
- Brand new to the VFR world :) I have a carbon fiber HRC center tank pad from ebay, and black Stomp Grip (made for 8th gen VFRs) on the sides. Personally, I don't know how anyone rides without some sort of grip pads on the sides. Sent from my Pixel 2…

- What did you do to your VFR Today? armod I fixed this problem. With a set of road 5s [image: 16aa048b38696490910fd9bbd06c6391.jpg&key=6eba7eed51a8379b56090c0e1144fba5f0b643c3ceef926cbb7b0c1835466a89] Did you need to tighten that bolt in your tire?…
- Picture Thread From my tour in the Catskills a couple weeks ago. Great roads - perfect for the V4[image: 4b56e357abcc8db0e2e546ef69e8439f.jpg] Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Not exactly today, but two weekends ago did a nice 3 day tour in the Catskill Mountains. Two 2014 VFRs and a Panigale 959. [image: 8c9ad5fdf006dd159dc798b07de7d0a9.jpg] [image: edab6e941a78ca73c11b65da2d28a28a.jpg] Sent…
- Overheating. Could it be the thermostat? Sounds like your thermostat isn't opening all the way so you're not getting full coolant flow. That or your water pump isn't working properly. There's no reason it should go that high if your fan is working. Sent from…
- Overheating. Could it be the thermostat? It's about an inch. But don't worry if you over fill a little, there's an overflow tube. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
- Overheating. Could it be the thermostat? VFRLondon What is a safe/normal upper limit for operating temperatures? I've heard it depends on for how long and if at high load/rpms, but if you're just stuck in traffic for 5 -10 minutes at low rpms, 230°F is ok. The…
- Overheating. Could it be the thermostat? Depending on the air temperature, 3 to 5 minutes to get up to 165F sounds about equivalent to my 2014. I haven't actually timed it, but can do so if that would be helpful. It certainly could be your thermostat, they can…
- Overheating. Could it be the thermostat? Rollos First summer riding everyday and I'm overheating in heavy traffic when the temp is above 80°. I see the engine temp creep past 230 and start praying for a little open road to get enough airflow to cool back down.…
- if you went from a owning a 6th Gen to an 8th gen which do you prefer? Honestly, there is very little difference between the two. Any fractions of a second in 0-60 are not noticeable. Same goes for 4 or 5 mph difference in top speed - how often do you ride at top speed? I've put a K&N…
- 2019 Model colour scheme Very nice, but why wouldn't they have the tail cowl on for these shots? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
- VFR800F OEM Quick Shifter video Great video - thanks for sharing! How does it work for down-shifting - ok when fully off throttle? V4Rid3r Hello! I´ve installed the oem quick shifter in my viffer and couldn´t be happier! I think it works great,…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Installed a steering damper. Got off eBay $90. Brand is "Savage", made in China. Putting all biases aside, I'm impressed with the quality. Will follow up after a few hundred miles with a review. [image:…
- Steering issue? Sparkie Just dropping a pic of my vfr and my brothers duck s4rs on Mount Lemmon, in Tucson, Arizona. [image: 9227.thumb.jpeg.f4f7a08511967cd917c8d1d6705d8721.jpeg] Just like my 2 bikes![image:…
- Steering issue? mountainslide The Dunlop Q3+ are worth consideration too, great all around feel and confidence inspiring for hard leaning and cornering in the dry. Can't speak to their performance in the wet yet. I love the Q3+, I just…
- Steering issue? Thumbs ^^^ What srdownhill said plus the OEM tyres are rubbish, bought by the thousand, check the date code, I bet they're old too Agreed, Bridgetone makes some good tires, but these aren't one of them. I'll be…
- Steering issue? ScottieDucati Look straight down at your front tire on a contrasting background so you can see it’s profile. Run your hand across the tire as well. You’ll tell if you are squaring it off. Otherwise my 5th gen with only…
- Steering issue? 4corsa Ah, that is quite possible. Sadly, do not have a lot of curvy roads nearby, so lots of upright riding. And that would help explain why its something I didn't experience in the first couple thousand miles. Thanks!…
- Steering issue? Rectaltronics They might be squaring off a bit. Ah, that is quite possible. Sadly, do not have a lot of curvy roads nearby, so lots of upright riding. And that would help explain why its something I didn't experience in…
- Steering issue? MaxSwell In addition to what Fink said, have you changed the suspension setup? (No expert here. Just a wild guess.) I have not - mine is the base model, so not much to adjust. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
- Steering issue? fink What are your tyres like? Which tyres are you using? Still have the stock Bridgestones on them - 3800 miles Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
- Steering issue? I've been riding my other bike (Ducati Monster S4R) a lot the past month without riding my VFR. When riding the VFR last weekend, I immediately noticed what felt like the steering wanting to "fall-in" once I started to…

- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems TheLoneReader Not as heavy as you'd think. Maybe 2 pounds, definitely less than 3. I did it mainly because it was annoying me and because now I can actually change my damn oil filter Good point, I'll be changing my oil…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems Grum Easy answer to that one = Stuff all, seriously though, it's probably not too much more weight than an oil filter at a guess! OK maybe an oil filter full of oil then wacko.gif . Was hoping it weighed a bit more, but…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems TheLoneReader to confirm (if it wasn't clear already): 2014 models have the evap canister. pulled that leach off my baby just this afternoon-- as well as a bolt that the previous owner had used to block off the SAS…
