  1. What did you do to your VFR Today? 4 Feb 2021 05:11 Replaced the Air Filter 20000kms
  2. Leftover 2014 VFR 800 with 1km 16 Jul 2020 09:50 I scored a new 2014 in 2017, actually 3 years ago on 15/7/20. Did oi,l coolant, brake, clutch, new battery. Tyres weren't bad and were punctured early on. Hope you get a great deal.
  3. What did you do to your VFR Today? 22 May 2020 02:46 I did the Front Fork oil replacement on my 2014, went well though a little bit of mucking around getting the damping rod adjuster right on the first one, learnt the lesson for the 2nd one. I have also been busy with…
  4. SC Project - VFR800F 18 Jun 2019 05:18 Love it, now I know what mine sounds like to others. I gather that's with the DB killer removed?
  5. Arrow Exhaust installation 18 Jun 2019 05:14 KYVFR800, ‎6‎/‎16‎/‎2019 at 2:14 AM Got out for about a 40 minute ride yesterday, pipe sounds good, nice little rumble without being too loud for the rest of society (IMO). I let it cool down and have fired it back up…
  6. The dreaded valve adjustment 18 Jun 2019 05:06 17 hours ago, Mohawk As any scientist will tell you a sample of one has NO statistical worth as there is no data to compare it with. Agree completely, and as I stated I checked the valve clearances twice on my Yammy.…
  7. Arrow Exhaust installation 14 Jun 2019 05:24 Classy pipe those Arrows, nearly as nice as my SC projects 😉 Yeah gasket wouldn't fit with mine either.
  8. Slipping Clutch 12 Jun 2019 02:23 Thank you for your responses. Not 100% but I think I may have over filled the reservoir!! I re-bled two lever pulls, no bubbles. Gave the lever a few more pulls and actually pulled out the little plate in the bottom of…
  9. Slipping Clutch 6 Jun 2019 05:09 Yes the plan is to give it a re-bleed tonight and fingers crossed issue resolved. Just hope the plates haven't been glazed up...
  10. The dreaded valve adjustment 6 Jun 2019 05:07 If the VTEC valves are the tricky and therefore expensive part of the check could you not make a calculated decision on the results of the standard valve check. If they are within tolerance then surely the VTEC valves…
  11. Slipping Clutch 6 Jun 2019 03:34 What have I done.... The other week I flushed the Brake and Clutch fluid on my 2014 VFR, using recommended Dot4. All went well so I thought. Only rode one day last week but have ridden every day this week. Earlier in…
  12. What did you do to your VFR Today? 22 May 2019 06:57 Replaced the rear tyre as spiked by a nail, was original Dunlop 222 with 11000kms so just about done anyway, just didn't get to do the throw away burnout... Have gone with a Roadsmart III
  13. Gear selector indicator... 16 May 2019 06:59 Yep not on your own, poor shift :sad:
  14. Kriega US 30 27 Mar 2019 04:15 I went with a Nelson Rigg Tail bag I think its expandable to 30ltr, a little bit of mucking around to work out best securing but happy so far. Got one for the wifes bike as well. [image:…
  15. side stand lean angle? 27 Mar 2019 03:56 Always turn the wheel to full lock up hill when parked :sad:
  16. Handlebar Risers 27 Mar 2019 03:53 I added the 15mm Honda risers to my 2014, no change at all to handling, and really no noticeable change to position but a little more comfortable.
  17. Just my luck. T-Rex no cut frame slider FAIL 23 Jan 2019 02:43 I have had the bike fall over twice, once rolled off the stand and 2nd time I put my foot down in oil both times the R&G sliders saved the fairings.
  18. Pardon The Nudity... 18 Dec 2018 23:28 Fantastic job, great result.

  22. Hello from Nebraska 5 Jul 2018 01:03 Love the exhaust. Don't know anything about the ECU flashing?? With the ECU Flash did you tell them the exhaust setup you were doing? I wonder if the lil shorty exhaust will make it a bit Lean?

  36. New Hepco Becker C-Bow Saddlebags 17 Jul 2017 06:45 A lot more affordable than the Honda hard boxes. Doesn't look like too hard to fit and remove. Which is a big bonus with the Honda boxes.
