Last 50 of 126- Won't start in Gear 39 minutes ago, Skids Woodie, what needed cleaning? I've taken the switch off mine but it looks clean, though I have sprayed it with Contact Cleaner. I can see the 2 contacts but have no idea how to tell if it is…
- Won't start in Gear Well.... seems the clutch switch was the culprit. Took it off, gave it a good clean put it back.. Et Voila. it starts.. Well it would do if the battery wasn't flat.. Ho Hum.. I suppose I'd better get the meter out and…
- Won't start in Gear Grum, 09/03/2018 at 1:15 PM Hi Woodie. There's a bit of contradiction in what you say! You say the clutch switch works because it won't start unless its pulled in, But then you say you can only start it when in…
- Won't start in Gear Only really an annoyance but my 2002 VTEC 800 6th Gen won't start if it's in gear. I know the clutch switch works as it won't start unless the clutch is pulled in. I know the sidestand switch as it kills the engine as…
- Another rear brake use question When I first started biking inn the late 70's I was taught to ride by my older brother and that was just the basics. This is how you pull out, this is how you turn et'c, et'c,. I was 16 and graduating from pedal power…
- RC30 Arai, who's gonna buy it? Not sure on exchange rates ATM but I just bought a CF helmet, for £260. fits well, double visor, looks good ... to be honest JZH posted the RC-30 lid was $830 and the plain one was $670 ! a hundred and sixty bucks extra…
- Issue w/ Throttle Cables, Helibars I put higher bars on my 6th Gen and found the throttle cables from a ST1100 are the same style but a few inches longer. I'm not sure if this helps as mine is a FI engine. hope this helps.
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Hmm winter in UK, dark and potholed country lanes so time to upgrade the lighting. Built these from some 50mm spotlights and some old/redundant indicator units. Not wired in yet discovered I need to remove the whole top…
- Complete brake failure on a VFR800 5Gen Speechless !
- Alternative Motorcycle Transportation SEBSPEED, 21/12/2017 at 9:24 PM I've thought about doing that with a Subaru wagon. But I don't have one. A bit like this from Mighty Car Mods? [image: subarute.jpg]
- Honda VFR800 2017 Spare Key ? cost after market I followed that video and sorted it myself, very informative and easy to follow. The leads cost me £5:00 to make and the key was under £5:00. my local key cutter wouldn't touch it so I cut it with a Dremel and a needle…
- Alternative Motorcycle Transportation 21 hours ago, jhenley17 Good thing he put that towel down. I'd hate to see any body panels get damaged. Certainly not those fenders. nah, he's being sensible... that's to stop the BIKE from getting scratched. Top Man.
- Handlebar Muffs 15 hours ago, duccmann Hey Woodie can you please throw up a picture please? The only thing I had to do was grind the end of the lever to clear the plastic of the handguard and engineer new longer pivot bolts for the…
- Handlebar Muffs I've fitted Cheapie handguards to my Vtec. it's made a difference as it has cut out the wind chill factor. Not had a chance to try them at sub zero conditions but my get my wish later this week.
- Hello from Somerset UK. How be on youi? welcome.
- How are the ignition switch fasteners loosened? You can get a 'manual' Impact driver. One you wallop with a lump hammer. Cheaper than either of the powered versions or you can use a flat ended punch and hit the bolt in with a few sharp taps. Sometimes the sharp shock…
- What is this sound? That sound is "Expensive!"... HTH
- LED Indicators Skids, 29/10/2017 at 9:58 AM You can probably see, I don't really understand electrics; how do you go from 12 v to 5-9v? Is there some sort of modification required? Use an inline Step down 12v/6V converter and…
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years 12 minutes ago, Dutchy Aaaaaaaaaaand..... Back in the books.... Passed exam 1&2 this month, final next week.... :comp13: ahhhhh Accounting... Do you know Nick Leeson?
- Why Do You Ride I ride because....Why Not? I ride because... Traffic! filtering (lane splitting), front of the queue at lights/junctions. shortens every journey. I ride because... The sun is shining (But don't not ride because it's…
- Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) Not as obsessive as some of you guys but I had 6 bikes at this stage. 2 X Triumph Sprints, 2 X Suzuki GS500's, a Yamaha YBR125 and Suzuki Gladius (Technically the last two are SWiMBO's) [image: IMG_20150423_221919.jpg]

- Riding quotes 13 minutes ago, coupedupsubie Her response was that motorcycles are dangerous because of the other people on the road, but it's very accurate. Same with Horses, plus you add in their own unfathomable nature.
- Riding quotes To Wife’s friends “You ride something that is only 1 Horsepower but has no brakes, a mind of its own and bolts at the sight of a squirrel and you call what I ride dangerous?”
- Riding quotes LangoPTC, 16/08/2016 at 2:23 AM Another ATGATT... "I'd rather sweat than bleed." Similar "Heat rash is better than gravel rash!"
- Chain Mileage Hmmmm. . . 32k miles on the Sprint chain. weekly oil with 10W/40. Yup it flings off but I have lots of it to spare and so far I've not had any problems. It's last MOT the Chain adjustment got mentioned but not chain…
- Brakes - Warped Rotor Fix 21 hours ago, slowbird I went by process of elimination. Tried the easy "diy" steps first before getting the discs checked at a friends shop. Yeah me too, it's the Scotsman in me... too tight to buy anything I can't fix…
- Brakes - Warped Rotor Fix 1 hour ago, slowbird Took it to a shop and the discs were warped badly. if the discs were warped then cleaning the bobbins wont do anything, but if the carrier is bent it might allow the steel of the disc to find it's…
- Brakes - Warped Rotor Fix checksix, 10/09/2014 at 10:06 PM I'm curious, has anyone ever tried cleaning the disc brake bobbins to "unbind" them so the discs can float properly in the carrier? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qoPqN2GBdw I'd…
- Should Have Called it a Day I've taken a wood pigeon to the head once at about 80MPH, MAN that hurt! Luckily the motorway (Highway) I was on was pretty clear so I managed to stay upright. Pigeon didn't fare so well Pigeon bits and feathers all…
- So I might have done a thing...... Veefer800Canuck, 08/07/2017 at 8:02 PM I don't like the flushmounts. We're invisible to cars as-is!!! Fair point. Although I like them as they show up from the sides as well as from the front.
- So I might have done a thing...... Veefer800Canuck, 14/06/2017 at 1:49 PM [image: D4C864EB-EFF6-4CFC-9350-2409FE34A3AA.jpg] Looks good, are you keeping those Indicators? is there any local legislation that prevents you using surface mounted…
- Tires! fink, 24/06/2017 at 8:59 AM So where are all the guys that can get 10K out of a tyre? Here ! Me Sir, I can get 10K from a tyre !
- Tire Choice- Conti Motion or ContiSport Attack Hypersport Tires I have ContiAttack2's on the VFR and I must admit they do not inspire confidence in the wet. Maybe just me but don't feel they are as grippy when it gets damp (I'm from the UK which means most of the time)
- Grit trap 2 hours ago, fatshoutybloke Yes, year round and on stereotypical English country lanes! Blimey I wish I had roads as nice as that round here, usually they are half as wide with twice as many pot holes ... and covered in…
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins I have a dual port Marine rated power connector on one of my bikes. (Dual USB charger and Accessory/Lighter socket) connected directly to my battery and have never had a problem. Even with two tablets and a phone…
- I am back! With UFO 99 VFR800 2 minutes ago, VFR Capt.Bob Russell seat. All i know is it really coddles the bum. More than seargent or corbin. Iron butt mod. Looks comfy, Cheers.
- Rough Running. 6Th Gen VTEC I'm having a few running problems with my 2003 VTEC. After swapping the engine I have run it for a few weeks and now find it runs rough once it gets warm. It seems to run OK when cold but gets very hesitant when it is…
- I am back! With UFO 99 VFR800 9 hours ago, VFR Capt.Bob Turns out airbox is stock with heat wrap. Even has snorkel in place. Ak-20 Axxion cartridges in forks. Penski is 8987 and steering damper is not yet identified. Wverything is ultra plush right…
- I am back! With UFO 99 VFR800 Needs more photos of it's blinginess!
- Where does the manual go? iamausername, 29/05/2017 at 11:34 AM I just purchased a 2010 VFR800. Just wondering where I put the manual?!? What does everyone else do? In the Garage next to the Lump hammer and the Angle Grinder.
- Post A Picture Of Your Vfr Not quite as glamorous as Mountains in the US but at a Local Biker Café in the UK. SWiMBO's Gladius in the back.
- Incognito 12 hours ago, rckrzy1 Only thing that ever went wrong on my Triumphs was the street triple R rectifier/regulator died at 500 miles on the ODO , still under warranty. My suzukis, well I lost count on stators replaced,…
- Incognito 1 minute ago, Superballs Mainly due to the string of YouTube videos watched last night this made me want to male the obligatory Yammie Noob joke. Beautiful bikes though. Nope, must be a Colonial thing, I don't…
- Incognito 5 hours ago, jhenley17 Triumphs more reliable than Suzukis? Very surprising. Why? I've had 2 Triumphs, my second on 30K miles without missing a beat. Whereas my 20K mile Honda has had an engine replaced, and many…
- App-based Rider-Pillion Comms Suggestions in 2017? 7 minutes ago, Skids If money is the issue, I think you're likely to find that you'll get what you pay for - decent quality sound inside a helmet on a motorcycle at speed is not easy to achieve cheaply. My set was £180…
- Restoring 6th gen forks 14 hours ago, Terry All Honda forks go the same way. I have sanded mine smooth, then applied an etch primer, followed by a few coats of a silver enamel, then a clear top coat. Probably not as durable as powder coating…
- Just picked up a 93 vfr750f Ditto - Paint it and get rid of those naff stickers.
- Is my bike too &@#%ing loud? 10 hours ago, squirrelman Anyone who doesn't wear some hearing protection while riding is at risk of sensory loss. :goofy: Pardon ? sorry. I couldn't resist ! I'll get my coat !
