All 38- Honda announce VFR “replacement” that'll be a hard pass from me. I'd rather find a 2018-2020 age range vfr. That'll probably be my last petrol bike before going electric.
- 12v Power outlet plug mount/USB mount Id be very interested in one of these if you are able to ship to the uk?
- exhaust I'm kind of in the same boat, I'd like to replace the lot, partly for the weight reduction, partly to clean it up since the original doesn't look as good, but I don't want it to be much if any louder than stock.
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Getting Michelin Road 5s fitted rather than the Bridgestone, been reading that they are very good. The indicator was a corroded connection inside the switchgear, that has been resolved. Just waiting on the call to say I…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? just had the call, rear tyre is advisory there is enough on it to pass but probably should be changed soon, the front tyre is dead. Im quite shocked at to be honest I thought it looked like there were loads of life left…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? 9 minutes ago, Grum Hi Anth85. What's your indicator flash like when you operate the Hazard switch? Are both left and right indicator lights working normally? If all lights operate normally in Hazard, then think there…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Just dropped her off for an MOT. First time I've had a bike tested, I know there is something weird with the left indicator, you flick the switch, it flashes once, then does nothing for 5 seconds before starting to…
- eliminating VTEC on 6th Gen Is it not a better solution to get it remapped to smooth out the transition?
- battery or stator or both? 35 minutes ago, Bikermike1 How does the volt meter work, what do you look for as a warning? I just have a switched live feed off a rear bulb, and the voltmeter screen on the dash. If the bike isn't getting upto and…
- battery or stator or both? 4 hours ago, Bikermike1 That’s a good price compared to OEM, the best OEM I can find is £260 from America on eBay. Anybody got any long term experience of electrexworld stator? To be honest from the reading I’ve done…
- battery or stator or both? 15 hours ago, MooseMoose Yeah, man, conditioning a battery is a thing. I bet it works even better after the weekend rides. I know you'll keep an eye on it, having a volt meter is really awesome for that, but it really…
- battery or stator or both? 11 hours ago, Bikermike1 Anth85 what stator and R/R did you buy OEM or after market? I also need both, i’ve seen after market for sale on Wemoto but not sure how good they are. this is what i ordered…
- battery or stator or both? 10 hours ago, MooseMoose How old is that battery? My new one runs between 12.7 and 14.8 (stopped vs running) Just interested. Above 13.5V is what's expected for charging, but it's a general guideline. And regulators…
- battery or stator or both? All done, wired in a small voltmeter that’s stuck under the speedometer so I can keep and eye on it. I did noticed it takes about 5 seconds for the voltage to jump up to 13.6v on idle from 12.4v (ish I was starting and…
- battery or stator or both? Update on this. Due to working full time and being a part-time matched better getting it sorted has been in bits and pieces. The new stator is in place, I couldn't find a proper gasket so had to use instant gasket which…
- battery or stator or both? thtanner, 11/30/2018 at 10:53 PM Bypassing stock wiring is a good thing. Their wiring appears smaller than what roadster provides, though. I would snip off the stator connector at a minimum, and solder the wires…
- battery or stator or both? Just now, thtanner The last link at least bypasses the stock wiring. It's a cheap version of the roadstercycle kit That a good thing or a bad thing? Bare in mind I’m in the uk so getting stuff shipped from America will…
- battery or stator or both? 1 minute ago, FJ12Ryder Weird, those bottom two links, two posts up, just dump me back at the beginning of the thread. Sure looks like you've discovered the root of your problems, congrats. they shouldn't they are to a…
- battery or stator or both? ding ding ding, we have a winner https://www.dropbox.com/s/nojnips7acnts97/Photo 30-11-2018%2C 21 07 00.jpg?dl=0
- battery or stator or both? ok so ive jumped the gun a little I know. New R/R is here and it turns out ive ordered the wrong one. Its for the 5th gen vfr by the looks of the connectors. However now i have it apart the one for the 6th gen looks…
- battery or stator or both? thanks, lots to check out this weekend when I pull it all apart. 2 questions regarding the stator, should I be expecting to spill some oil? Is there multiple part numbers or the same one across the range?
- battery or stator or both? Just now, FJ12Ryder I would definitely not put a new battery on it until I've taken care of the RR problem. I'd also be checking the condition of the stator, since they are a known problem area. I'd check the output,…
- battery or stator or both? The question is, where the hell is the R/R on the 6th gen. Everything I can find online is for the 5th. I have a haynes manual at home so I'm sure it's in there. But I'd like to know what I'm dealing with.
- battery or stator or both? thanks, guys. From posting on another forum, they suggested it's most likely the R/R. I've already sorted a new battery being delivered tomorrow since I'd paid for one anyway and since the R/R is supposed to be a weak…
- battery or stator or both? I noticed the voltage on my battery has been a bit low on my 6th gen recently. Often sitting about 11.8V when I get off the bike. My voltmeter is under the seat so I cant check it during a ride, the only thing I can see…
- cheap ebay camera 1 hour ago, Duc2V4 There is a company called Innovv that makes really good cameras and camera sets. yea I've seen some reviews of their stuff on youtube, but at $228 or $338 they are quite a step up in price. I…
- cheap ebay camera They say buy cheap buy twice, well in this case that looks to be sound advice. I bought this camera off ebay for £36.69 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113248673676 It appealed because I liked how discreetly it could be…
- site ssl cert expired at Oct 11 12:00:00 2018 GMT wooo, we're back I thought the site was dead. Couldn't get one it from anywhere.
- What type of riding do you use your VFR for? It's my commuter, I'd say 95% of my riding is backwards and forwards along the same roads 5 days a week. Occasional detour to the shops on my way home.
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? 31 minutes ago, Urbanengineer RIP your distance vision. I thought they were better all round? They certainly have been a massive improvement on my car and the amount of light they put out over the old halogens when i…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? LED headight bulbs fitted 😎 managed to leave one of the indicators disconnected so that needs fixing tonight 😂
- tyre pressure monitor system has anyone got one of these setup? link I am thinking of getting some for my caravan, which prompted me to think is it worth getting for the VFR. Not 100% convinced there is as much of a need, the caravan is a twin axle…
- VFR800 Custom/Aftermarket Rear Wheel Modification it looks good but I'm paranoid about spacers. Especially none hubcentric ones.
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? changed the oil filter over from the k&n went for oem honda and reused the oil since it's barely been used. Also changed all the brake pads to EBC Double H. Next on my list is a new chain and sprockets but that'll be…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? 7 hours ago, VFROZ Be very careful with the K&N filter. Lots of horror stories with them. Look up the many K&N oil filter fails in this and other forums. I would get rid of it as soon as posible if it was me. Ah balls.…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? First oil and filter change done. Very little service history for the last 6 or 7 years so put some Motul 300V in with a k&n filter. The filter was only £2 more than standard but it was worth it just for the socket end…
- Would this MPG worry anyone here? 5 minutes ago, Grum 6gen Owners Book states when reserve segment flashes you have approx 3.6 litre or 0.95 US gals.Based on a conservative fuel usage of say 5 litre per 100k that would give me 72 kilometers of range OR…
- Would this MPG worry anyone here? I'm sure this has been asked loads, so rather than start a new thread I'm putting it in here. My VFR needs its first fill up in my ownership. Fuel light has just started flashing. how many miles does it have left before…
