All 24- Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… Rush, yer in St. Louis? I am in the Metro East. If you need an extra hand some time I'd be happy to swing by and help.
- 2014 Vfr Coming To America! I don't see the point in offering 2 VFRs, especially if they are both bland IMO. I'm not big on the 1200 styling, but I'm getting used to it. Not ridden one, so maybe it's fantastic. But what is the point of the 800?…
- 2014 Vfr Coming To America! I am confused by Honda at this point... it looks like a Hyosung.
- Fi Light Blinks With Turn Signal... I totally forgot I even posted this, actually. I will have a look at it tonight possibly. On an unrelated note, went to a bike night at the Ducati/Guzzi/KtM shop in St. Louis the other night, and there were some sweet…
- Fi Light Blinks With Turn Signal... So I did around 300 miles on Sunday, and I had noticed before a few times that the FI light faintly blinks in time with the turn signals...and on Sunday it would come on full force anytime I grabbed the front brake…
- Current State Of Vfr800R Project Love the PB sticker...wish it was cheaper to buy here in the States. Best sportsbike mag on the planet. Those rim stripes look fab on that color bike.
- ??? Aftermarket shock for 4th gen Just send it to Jamie and have him revalve and respring it. I think he can also do a custom linkage for the correct height...in the long run it will be cheaper IMO. Even if you find a decent deal on a used aftermarket…
- 96 VFR Conversions?? Interesting...We'll be watching to see how that turns out.
- ??? Aftermarket shock for 4th gen I think I called Penske last year and they still have them. Used aftermarket still pop up now and then; keep em peeled. Gonna have Jamie do a 929 shock for me when I have the pesos. Edited August 1, 2012 by tailgunn
- 96 VFR Conversions?? Considering that you sold me the extra bodywork that came with it, yer bike was technically free! Lucky bastage you are... This is the right place for conversion info; tons of it. And yes, the cost of advice is pictures…
- vfr750 v. Telephone Pole My suspension is so old and shagged that almost anything would ride better. Found a guy parting out a 900RR, wondering if I should go for the forks? Also found a guy selling a complete 04-07 1000RR front end too but…
- vfr750 v. Telephone Pole You want pics of the bike or the telephone pole? :laugh: The bike pics aren't that exciting; probably less damage than you would expect considering what happened.
- vfr750 v. Telephone Pole Downgrade- LOL! How can fuel injection be a downgrade? Besides, I like the looks better. I didn't kill two- another member killed the 97. I just bought it for parts...and the 96 isn't killed, just wounded. Actually, the…
- vfr750 v. Telephone Pole Complete stupidity on my part caused it. Been having trouble adjusting my chain; thought I had it sorted...just taking it for a test ride around the block and it was still slapping around. I looked down at it for too…
- vfr750 v. Telephone Pole So it's finally my turn to post a crash story. Going very slow, maybe 15, down my parents street, stopped paying attention for a couple of seconds...next thing I know I'm flying towards it as if I were a linebacker with…
- knocking noise from around sidestand area It does not pull away at the 3 o'clock position and when I was adjusting it, I spun it all the way around many times and checked the tension at about a dozen different spots. There didn't seem to be any kinks. I am…
- knocking noise from around sidestand area I did not buy it new but I had the chain put on during my ownership. I know what a bad sprocket looks like, so yes, I need to pull the cover and have a peek. The wheel sprocket is ok.
- knocking noise from around sidestand area The wheel sprocket looks ok, haven't checked the drive sprocket. The chain wear indicator isn't even close to saying it's time for a new one. It's only been on 4 years, maybe 12K miles...I'm not hard on it. My buddy…
- knocking noise from around sidestand area So, I've been hearing and feeling a hammering noise upon acceleration for a bit and realized my chain was quite loose. Adjusted it but it's still doing it. I can feel it in my left footpeg and hear it. Any ideas?
- If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? It's because we're so fast...you just can't see us. :laughing6-hehe:
- 96 vfr750 cbr929 pistons???/ I have a 1/2 wrecked donor in my garage that I've been staring at and debating over for quite some time now...sounds like an interesting idea. Have a buddy that owns a motorcycle shop, bet I could talk his mechanic into…
- my vfr project frankenVIXXER :D At first glance I thought it was gonna look like a beast created by a hack, but I was wrong. Looks damn good, in fact, I even like the primer! If it were me, I'd probably leave it as is. Nice job, mate.
- Vfr"837"f Bigbore Rc36 Update When this thing is all done you need to submit it for Performance Bikes' monthly Obsession feature.
- Vfr"837"f Bigbore Rc36 Update [image: View Post]vfroem, on Apr 17 2009, 10:30 AM, said: Used the original fuel tap of the RC30; vacuum. I am Dutch but yes, the Germans really like Viffers. Lots of parts I bought in Germany and the concept of the…
