  1. Sprocket change 26 May 2017 23:10 Well that sucks...
  2. Coming from an FZ-07 14 May 2017 18:29 You notice more low end grunt with premium?
  3. Coming from an FZ-07 10 May 2017 22:30 4 hours ago, Hachirokutoy Thanks for the feedback. I actually owned the FZ-09 in liquid graphite color and sold it to get the FZ-07 instead. Love the 07 over the 09. How do you feel about the different performance/power…
  4. Sprocket change 9 May 2017 23:45 I don't do a lot of highway trips so it's not really an issue. I only found a +1 on eBay. Not sure if I would even notice that.
  5. Coming from an FZ-07 9 May 2017 23:43 I owned an fz09 before buying my pearl white vfr. I don't miss it. I love the vfr. The fz09 was awesome , don't get me wrong but I got fed up with wind . I was super nervous about going to the vfr as well but don't…
  6. Sprocket change 9 May 2017 20:21 Because I feel it's a little more geared for highway . I don't think it needs anything drastic , just a little more oomph .
  7. Sprocket change 7 May 2017 13:13 After some reading sounds like a two up in the rear sprocket would be a nice upgrade. Looks easier to do than the front.
  8. Is my bike too &@#%ing loud? 6 May 2017 19:55 Greg I have the same exhaust. Also baffle removed and I love it. Ive had quite a few bikes that were louder than this. I don't think it's too loud. Definitely don't need ear plugs. Coming from my fz09 with akrapovic…
  9. Sprocket change 6 May 2017 17:25 Found some here http://www.jtsprockets.com/catalogue/model/634
  10. Sprocket change 6 May 2017 00:26 Has anyone done a front or rear sprocket upgrade? I was debating down one upfront or two up in back.
  11. Coming back to VFRs?? 4 May 2017 17:42 I really like my 8th gen. Plus they look a little smaller in size compared to the 6th gen. Also you can get leftovers super cheap. Another thing to consider is insurance . The Ninja 1000 is quite a bit more than the…
  12. Tank stripe , yay or nay? 22 Apr 2017 23:07 Also added this from when I re did my 97 vfr. Had these two decals laying around for the last 5 years. Glad I kept them. So much white. [image: IMG_1617.JPG]
  13. Tank stripe , yay or nay? 22 Apr 2017 17:29 Ok, got it done this am. Went with a skinnier stripe. I think it looks much better. [image: IMG_1613.JPG] [image: IMG_1614.JPG] [image: IMG_1616.JPG] [image: IMG_1615.JPG]
  14. 8Th Gen Tail Tidy 22 Apr 2017 11:46 I just a bolted on a piece of metal where the red reflector goes . Cheap and easy.
  15. Bar riser questions 22 Apr 2017 11:39 11 hours ago, RC79Scott I've got the Sidetrax version of these in black: http://www.knightdesignllc.com/Products/Motorcycle/Honda/VFR800/Honda-10-VFR800F-1-Front-Foot-Pegs.html I used them for a while, but eventually…
  16. Tank stripe , yay or nay? 20 Apr 2017 19:17 Duc2v4, I agree with you. I made this one out of scrap I had just to get an idea. I may make it a little skinnier as well. So this will be the weekend project along with the new exhaust and puig tinted wind screen.
  17. Tank stripe , yay or nay? 20 Apr 2017 01:18 Funny, I almost bought the shoei gt air wanderer, ended up getting a really good deal on the gt air Pendelum style. As far as stripe, I was thinking of taking it down to the seat and continuing up the tank.…
  18. Tank stripe , yay or nay? 20 Apr 2017 00:30 Thanks, and I did watch that vid a few days ago. Not many vloggers for 8th gen vfrs let alone vfrs in general!
  19. Tank stripe , yay or nay? 20 Apr 2017 00:06 I made this out of carbon fiber vinyl. Did this on my fz09 and it looked awesome. Not sure if I like it on the vfr. Could just buy the typical tank pad. What do you guys think? [image: IMG_1608.JPG] [image: IMG_1609.JPG]
  20. Bar riser questions 17 Apr 2017 23:06 Thanks for the replies so far. Debating drop down pegs as well. Again not sure on .5 or 1" drop. Decisions..
  21. Bar riser questions 17 Apr 2017 14:48 I did lower the seat as I was on my toes with it in the upper position. I haven't ridden it since I lowered the seat however. I feel more comfortable flat footing the thing now. Have you noticed much difference other…
  22. Bar riser questions 17 Apr 2017 11:59 Hello all, just bought my vfr this weekend. Looking into risers. I was fairly comfortable after an hour ride on it. I'm 5.9" so a little riser would make a longer trip easier I think. I'm just trying to decide what size…
