All 49- Slow speed clicking Out of curiosity does it sound like a Geiger counter? Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
- Quickshifter a bit vunerable Possible it was on a hill in neutral when he left it on the stand and it rolled. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins 4 hours ago, auggius Update - new battery, problem solved. Awesome, For me, not so much, getting stator replaced. Have new battery already, and apparenty the connections for the RR are fine. My bike trip turned into a…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades 12 hours ago, Auspanglish Incessant fan functioning and a poor battery, r/r, or stator will see the bike die relatively quickly. The straw breaking the camel's back. Sounds more like the stator to me as you are…
- Ready for the Road Dutchy IMHO, honeymoon memories are best stored in your head. Superior read access for when things are not so rosey (yep them times will come sometimes as well :-) )and you want to say something you will regret.... Our…

- Shifting Annoyances It's funny, I rode an 84 magna for 3 years and that needed confident up shifts where you really bang it home. After that the vfr feels like it's got a hair trigger. Weird that. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
- Bike Passed Safety Inspection - Picking It Up on Saturday Just to not leave the thread with no resolution. It definitely needed coolant. Now it has coolant and the fans run it's nice and cool. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
- Oil pan gasket part number (VFR800) Lorne Yep, VFR750F used a gasket, but the service manuals for the '98-'01 and the '02-'09 specifies Three Bond 1270B or equivalent for sealing. This is good to know. I remember needing to replace the oil pan on my 06…
- AWE VFR800 sport cruiser custom crakerjac Finally an updated Magna... This...one hundred and six times this. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
- Pipe/Exhaust advice vegaquark Huh... No easy fix there... Stainless headers are your best bet. For the price of new wheels you've got delkevic ones. Good luck. Keep us updated. Trying to fix that is going to hurt your time, head and budget…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades interceptor69 Don't want to hijack This Thread but can anyone give me some pointers on what type of coolant is best. I have always used the Honda product but I know there are other aftermarket versions out there that…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades Auspanglish Typically 104-106°C You don't want it to get so high it's flashing. That is a critical warning. I believe the bike shuts down over 125°C but cannot confirm that is true. I think you just confirmed my RR…
- Ready for the Road Auspanglish Leave the laptop and hdd at home. Do the computer work on the photographs when you get back. Spend the time on the honeymoon duties! That stuff equals less room for essentials and more weight than necessary.…
- Ready for the Road Ohh I like those. Well if I can't get the bike back to reliable running condition (like if a connector is burnt to a crisp or the part doesn't come in) by Monday EOD, we will be taking the car. I mean it's a Focus,…
- Temp RolandHTG, 4/9/2017 at 2:33 PM I do not doubt the competency of the Honda engineers but I do believe they make compromises. The 5th gen was based on a V-4 design that was intended to be competitive in Superbike racing.…
- 5th Gen Cooling Upgrades MaxSwell, 5/21/2017 at 9:13 PM I believe it's the owners guide that says 250F and up is a problem. I've seen the low 230's. It starts flashing and will even change from air temp to engine temp after 122C (just above…
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins I brought it in and had the charging system checked. It's not providing enough juice. The fun thing about making two simultaneous changes to any system is when one buggers things up, it's not always obvious. As I as…
- Ready for the Road Dammit, So in fixing my heating issue, and thereby getting my fans working for the first time since I've had the bike, I've also discovered that my RR is shot, testing across the battery showed 12.3 volts at 4000RPM,…
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins I'll need to locate my multimeter, my tools come up one by one from the crawlspace as everything was tucked away while the lower level gets finished. I don't know that the issue is that the unit is drawing power, as the…
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins 5 minutes ago, auggius I posted this same issue a few days ago. Bike has power and starts up fine until I hooked up the leads to the battery for my heated gear. With nothing plugged in I lost all power when I turned the…
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins 5 minutes ago, Lorne | So I picked up a USB charger with a 12v that connects directly to the battery. Minor point, but USB chargers output 5 vdc - not 12. | Tonight however I can definitely say that it was not a dead…
- USB Charger Causing Electrical Gremlins So I picked up a USB charger with a 12v that connects directly to the battery. In the process of that and some other work, I ended up killing the battery, and I do think while boosting it, ended up seeing this behaviour…
- Ready for the Road Ha ha. Well top luggage will have 2 pair pants each and 3 tshirts each and one sweater. Sleeping bag for each tent in the rear. One side luggage will have a backpack with our walking necessities, my slr my 50mm lens my…
- Ready for the Road So, my wife and I were supposed to go to Cedar Point for three days next week (Monday through Wednesday) but we found out she is expecting (a while ago) and that means roller coasters and amusement rides are out. Before…
- Power socket locations??? EDIT: I don't want to remove this post yet, but I have had some major issues with this USB charger, when connected, at random when I try to start the bike, the bike will just die, the headlamp went out, and the clock…
- Incognito Woodie 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 electrical gremlins. Mainly due to the string of YouTube videos watched last…
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations Sweet info thanks man. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations Yeah wow. A chain coming off is like Russian roulette. Does it bind up in the rear sprocket locking the rear? Does it whip though the crankcase? Never know and some results are super scary Sent from my SM-N910W8 using…
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations MaxSwell That's what I do. And $75 is reasonable. You are replacing the sprockets also, right? Yeah he said it should be an hour or less. Admittedly he probably has never worked on a VFR before, as there really are not…
- Bar mount options for charging and phone Are these tricky to install? Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
- Is my bike too &@#%ing loud? GatorGreg Pics or it didn't happen [image: emoji2.png] I have to disagree with you Rectal on your opinion of the VFR horn - even the horn on my old scooter (a Honda PCX 150) was noticeably louder than the one on my VFR…
- Bar mount options for charging and phone Just curious as to what everyone's favorite bar/fork stem mount and usb/12 volt charging solutions are? Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Tapatalk
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations I brought it to the shop to get it done. 75$ labour was better short term than buying a chain tool and I'm working on a huge project at work right now which leaves me not much time to do it. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using…
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations 22 minutes ago, mello dude I noticed that the front sprocket is not listed for sale(for that matter the rear too) in any of the OEM Honda parts catalog anymore. (Damn!) What is everyone doing as as an alternate? I'm…
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations Awesome, I didn't have the bike in neutral when I was checking, I'll recheck this weekend (or whenever it stops raining)
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations Thank you so much. I have one last question, when checking the chain slack, I noticed that on the bottom, I could not move the chain downward, but could move it upward until it touched the swingarm, on the top, I…
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations Also, when searching for chains, I noticed that motorcycle-superstore defaulted to a 106-link option when the 99vfr was selected, am I not correct in thinking it was a 108-link chain I would need? Should I stick with…
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations Thanks guys, Out of curiosity, what is the difference between x-ring and o-ring chains and are there any considerations when switching between the two? My previous bike was shaft-driven, this is my first chain to deal…
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations Hi everyone, Looking for a decent replacement chain/sprocket set as mine needs to go. I'm concerned about getting a crap set, and looking for as close to OEM replacement as possible. Are there still DID kits out there?…
- Cherohala Skyway Today Actually took a couple days off this weekend. Been out of the saddle since September, picked my bike up last Saturday in Toronto and my first ride of the year was 4 hours on a bike type I'm not used to. My right hand…
- Slipper clutch Going from a slipper to a non-slipper can result in some fun times. Having 4 years on a first-gen Magna v45, I had a couple interesting moments when aggressively downshifting on on the VFR almost left me with two…
- "tire scrub in a myth'? 1 minute ago, Auspanglish Gradually Fair enough
- "tire scrub in a myth'? The only part of all this that I can't wrap my head around is, how do you scrub the outsides? When the bike is leaned at 45 degrees, there is 1G lateral force being applied. How do you scrub that off ever? If it's a…
- Bike Passed Safety Inspection - Picking It Up on Saturday Picked the bike up today Rode through downtown Toronto...yay :\ Guy was super nice, all service records, fairings were dusty from sitting. Has a tank cover, bar risers, all three Givi Luggage, two covers, one for bike…
- Bike Passed Safety Inspection - Picking It Up on Saturday I won't hesitate. I've been waiting for almost two weeks. I'm not sure if he actually held on to the bike for me or if the mileage scared other buyers away. I know to take things people say with a grain of salt when…
- Bike Passed Safety Inspection - Picking It Up on Saturday So just like the title says. Picking the bike up on Saturday in Toronto as it passed the safety inspection Will meet the guy on Saturday, register, pay the taxes (hooray :/) and ride back down to Windsor with my wife…
- Hopefully joining the VFR ranks in a couple weeks Midlife is great. I do put a lot of mileage on my bikes, though my v45 had no speedometer, so it's forever at 19000 and change KM. In general, from March to November, I'm as close to 100% motorcycle as I can be, so this…
- Hopefully joining the VFR ranks in a couple weeks Hi everyone, Looking to join the ranks of VFR Riders soon. If all goes well, picking up a 5th gen (1999) in a couple weeks. Almost cringed at the mileage (115,000KM), but if it's anything like my 84 v45, it's barely…
