All 25- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems 2 hours ago, Thumbs If the indentation was caused by a vacuum then save the £700 because it's pretty easy to get those dents blown out and the tank refinished I was wondering if that was possible. Is it just a case of…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems I'm not sure the gentlemen in question are aware of this site but I have pointed them to this thread as did Skids. I know one of the chaps did fit a sat nav and I did ask him if he lifted the tank to which he replied…
- VFR800F 8th Gen Fuel Tank Vacuum Problems 11 hours ago, fink Shouldn’t have any suction noise at all. Agreed. I've never had any suction noises on mine and I'd be worried if I had. I know the 2 chaps Skids mentioned in this post and neither are getting much joy…
- Motorcycle DVR (Dashcam) 6 hours ago, interceptor69 Damn... just spent almost $300 on a GoPro. The quality is better but not that much and its only battery operated with no ability to change batteries. And it only "looks" one way. Bummer. Sent…
- Motorcycle DVR (Dashcam) It stores about 5 hours on a 32Gb card and does 'lock' the current recording on impact. It's set and forget as it powers on and off with the ignition.
- Motorcycle DVR (Dashcam) I bought this DVR from China on eBay and it arrived in less than a week and cost £44. Easy to fit taking a switched feed from the ACC fuse and negative to the battery. It records front and rear in 2 minute files. The…
- Honda VFR800 2017 Spare Key ? cost after market I got one cut and coded by a locksmith here in the UK and it was half the cost of a dealer key. Try Googling Auto Locksmith.
- Chain Mileage I've checked my chain this weekend and it's slack on the rear sprocket with 13500 miles on the clock. It needed a fair bit of adjustment too and it wasn't long ago since I last adjusted it. Time for a new one I think. I…
- Paint Code Even Honda don't know what the paint code is for the wheels, here's a reply I got from them. Good morning Stu, Thank you for contacting Honda (UK). I writing with an update since my previous e-mail. I have been in…
- Slow speed clicking Indeed. A very cheap fix :)
- Slow speed clicking The clamp for the link pipe on the exhaust had rotated when I took the wheel off and was fouling the stand. Two minute job tonight to rotate it slightly.
- Slow speed clicking Someone somewhere else thinks it could be the centre stand and I did have the end can off on Friday for a new tyre. I'll check at lunch time to see if it's hitting the rubber buffer!
- Slow speed clicking More like the old train time boards you used to get in stations that rolled over with a clicking sound but a bit slower.
- Slow speed clicking I've just had a thought, could it be the cam chain tensioners?
- Slow speed clicking I've just noticed a click or a clunk coming from the bike at slow speeds in 1st gear. I normally don't notice it as I have music on but I've just been away for the weekend with the missus on the back and she described…
- Paint Code I've just got my wheel touch up paint but haven't used it yet. It looks dark, in fact much darker that the handlebars and engine cases which now has me thinking: Are these the same colour as the wheels or just a bit…
- Paint Code My hero. Thanks Jochem.
- Paint Code Does anyone know, or know how to find the paint code for the 2014 bronze wheels. I scratched my rear on the exhaust braket while taking the wheel off.
- Coming back to VFRs?? I've had two 675s and loved them to pieces. I swapped my 09 Vtec for 14 800FE and it's up there as a favourite bike with the 675s. The handling is all round better on the FE and the acceleration is smoother. So which…
- Main Step Heat Guard 7 hours ago, thenewwazoo Yeah, I figure I'll make a batch of them if I make any. So far, though, I don't mind it missing. My right ankle gets a bit warmer at stop lights. We'll see if I continue not to mind during the…
- Main Step Heat Guard Mine is rusting too, is there an after market option? Is it the same part as on the Vtec? I replaced it when I had mine and it was just over £100
- Rode in the rain for the first time tonight! I'm not jealous much. I think in April in the UK we will be able to ride in the dry :) At the moment it's cold and damp, just above freezing with snow on the way.
- Steering Stem Ram Ball--Why Not? I use the first mount mention in this thread and it works well on the Vtec and VFR800 2014. It's the offset one.
- Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 6 hours ago, Woodie Ayup I was going to ask what about the Tornado but the old bus doesn't exactly qualify as "Bling" does it :goofy: Ayup Blackhawk.. Now then Woodie.
- Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) Do scooters count? I've just sold the Vtec so technically the VFR800FE is my only motorbike but there are 3 Vespas to keep it company. The blue on is 53 years old! [image: garage.jpg]
