All 36- Headlight needs love If I may offer a few critiques on the video posted above from a bodywork standpoint.. 1. It's not a good idea to skip more than 1 grit. Going from 600 to 2000 is a big difference. Sanding creates a valley and ridge…
- RC15 available There's an RC15 for sale near me and I'm wondering if it's be worth a shot. No idea what to offer but it's a piece of history and I think it'd look great in my shop even if it hardly went out. The add says it starts and…
- New Member 98 VFR - Starting Cold is not great that startup sounds fine. full "choke" on start till the engine hits 3k rpm then drop it. completely normal.
- Handlebar-Grip slips Hairspray is the way to go. I've seen people use gorilla glue and swear a good hard twist cracks it to make it easy to remove. Never tried it myself. Soap doesn't leave it sticky. Hairspray lubes it on and then gets…
- Looking to buy, thoughts on mileage ? I thought the vfrness was for 6th gen vfrs, I didnt know it was compatible with 5th. I put in an after market r/r and added a computer fan. No problems in 20k+.
- SPORT tourer 20 hours ago, Marvelicious There are definitely worse things out there... [image: Screen Shot 2017-06-09 at 11.44.13 PM.png] At least they retained the passenger handles
- Throttle cables routing? i've got to tear the front off mine this weekend to replace the switch set, starter stop. i'll take some photos/video if you don't get it ironed out.
- Looking to buy, thoughts on mileage ? my 5th gen had 50k when i bought it and i paid $2100. It included a new in box corbin seat and unmounted NiB tires. Look for maintenance records and know you're in for clutch, shocks, lines but that's pretty minor…
- Air cleaner adventures (w/photos!) all that extra media in there probably filtered the air wonderfully! i know it looks terrible but i've got some fiberglass screen zip-tied over the intake on my bikes. you can't see it with the fairings on so who cares,…
- Tire puncture opinions. 30 minutes ago, squirrelman inside plug patch is the only "safe' way to repair. Oh no, not this again
- Do you find draining the oil a PITA ? I wonder if either of these solutions get corroded in place
- BIKES THAT ARE NOT VFR's RIDE REPORT I've always heard that, even though the BMW is very refined and fill of features, they have reliably problems. A BMW car over 50k miles is a maintenance mess, I don't know what the number is for bikes but I'm betting a…
- This could be my final year with the RWB I don't understand. Why do you have to get rid of it? Why not, I dunno, keep it and get another? What makes you feel you can't have it any longer?
- Hello From Scotland 6 hours ago, GreginDenver A little off-topic here, but what's going on with your bike's handlebar risers? It looks like your fork tubes are set way low, to the point that only the bottoms of the handlebar riser clamps…
- Aftermarket Oil Filler Cap 97 900rr and 98vfr do not use the same size cap. Rr is smaller
- Aftermarket Oil Filler Cap Shoot, sorry. Got caught in the rain in the ride home from work so I had to wipe down the bike then drive 1.5 hours away so the wife could buy a used trampoline. I'll check this tomorrow
- Hello From Scotland It has a yoshi
- Wtf Is A Fusar? Group Buy 49 minutes ago, Skids I got a tee-shirt. Not exactly what I put my money in for. correction, you got a $200 tee shirt
- Hello Well then 6 would be the optimal number
- Wtf Is A Fusar? Group Buy 9 hours ago, Dutchy Exciting excited exciting Everything is fair game maximize Did Donald's press office release this? :goofy: it's going to be bigly
- Hello From Scotland welcome. the difference in notes was the first thing i noticed when hopping on the vfr. really cool rumble. i have a question about that though. mine also has a pretty loud whine. i'll try to get a video with good…
- Aftermarket Oil Filler Cap hm, well, when i get home i'll see if my rr cap fits the vfr.
- Hello which obviously means the optimum number is 3
- Hello I was arguing for you to keep it. No such thing as too many bikes
- Hello Hey, welcome. Love the red white and blue scheme, wife hates it. Looked at one here with bronze wheels. You know, selling an 03 could be more hassle than it's worth and you probably won't get too much for it. Might as…
- VF500F2 Aka MBD Incubation Period At Least 52 Years who knew the carbon fiber sticker was structural
- sourcing (cushioned) drive sprocket for 5th gen your chain shouldn't really be making a whole lot of noise to begin with but i get wanting the sound dampened one. If you can't get it in 530, is there a reason (other than not wanting to buy a new chain) you can't go…
- sourcing (cushioned) drive sprocket for 5th gen https://sprocketcenter.com/ognibene-52604-7039-530-pitch-rubber-dampened-front-sprocket-ducati.html You sure? I don't know the tooth count you're looking for but I believe it sprockets and vortex both have sound…
- 98 chain tension adjustment i'm familiar with how to use the tool, just didn't know which it was. is there something special about #7 that a standard socket can't do?
- 98 chain tension adjustment I'm looking to adjust the chain tension on my 98 and i need the tool for it, obviously. I'm wondering which on of the parts in the took kit it is. I'm thinking 5 but i'm not sure. if it is, what is 4 used for? [image:…
- looking for yellow seat cowl 1 hour ago, VFROZ Not sure I would want to deal with a company that shits internationally 🙂 I won't stand for your elitist intolerance towards international shitting.
- looking for yellow seat cowl https://shop.benjan.nl/product/77225-mbg-000zc/ If you can read Dutch and they shit internationally, that's an option? Found two other European ones but they're over $200
- looking for yellow seat cowl Can't help with yellow but I've got one in red if you want to paint it. Babbits (hondapartshouse.com) also shows the red one in stock. 77225-MBG-000ZB I also see some used ones on eBay but I don't see any…
- Where to buy stock and 'mod' parts for the 5th gen? MaxSwell, 7/10/2019 at 3:17 PM I just checked with my local Honda mc dealer at Honda Town Minneapolis (612-722-1110) and they can get fifth gen cowls. And they are willing to accept mail orders. I bought my first helmet…
- Brake system troubleshooting I hate that "ug, why do they make this so difficult. It's stupid. Who engineered this stupid thing?!" Only to find out you've been doing it wrong. Another thing that happens a lot but doesn't appear to be associated…
- Sprocket Change? A lot of times getting the 525 or 520 is easier anyways since it's popular with the sport bikes. I had a heck of a time finding the 530 stock chains and sprockets on my vn800 so I went with 525. A thought on the alloy…
