All 42- Windscreen Lip service I ordered a cheepo to try...if you ever see this puppy, let me know..... [image: Pat lip.jpg]
- Windscreen Lip service 8 hours ago, Samuelx I have a Chinese knock off Givi Vario (you can see a real one in the first link Dutchy posted above) on my 8th gen. Works pretty good for me (I'm 5'-10"). If you want to give a deflector a try and…
- Windscreen Lip service Greetings all. A long and emotionally difficult winter full of death is about over and its time to go back and pay attention to my almost new 2015 VFR. I am wondering if anyone has purchased a windscreen lip deflector…
- Chain adjust nomenclature. 12 hours ago, Bent That puts some scientific logic on things. Thanks Terry! A chain can actually be run very loose and still do fine. I see no reason for it to be "very loose" but I've seen it with no problems. Very…
- Chain adjust nomenclature. Mohawk, 10/7/2019 at 11:07 PM Yeah Kerosene or Paraffin as its called in the UK will do the job. I've also found diesel to be a really cheap cleaner as well as being an oil. Either just melts the chain lube by thinning…
- Chain adjust nomenclature. Grum, 9/27/2019 at 7:48 PM Hi Chris. Never measured the slack. I simply pull down and push up, no rocket science in knowing what 25 to 35mm looks like especially with us ex Aircraft Engineers! Years ago I bumped into a…

- Chain adjust nomenclature. 1 hour ago, Grum Hi Chris. Love mine as well! Chain adjust is also a piece of cake! Gotta love the single swingarm. The 8gen specifies checking the chain with bike on side stand. My guess for this is that there is no…
- New donation from CoyoteChris Hi CoyoteChris, Thank you for your donation of 25.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
- Chain adjust nomenclature. I love this bike! Time for the first oil change (piece of cake) and a chain adjust. I got out my breaker bar, torque wrench, rulers, etc and went to work on adjusting the chain. Unencumbered by the thought process, I…
- What is your oil? 4 hours ago, BusyLittleShop I love a good oil thread... a good thread will challenges your technical knowledge and long held beliefs plus you may actually learn something new... After going all they way through this…
- What is your oil? I LOVE oil threads! So much passion.... My Subaru specifies synthetic https://www.idrivesafely.com/defensive-driving/trending/synthetic-oil-vs-conventional-oil My Concours C10 shifted better if I upped the viscosity…
- 8th Gen Speed bleeders Samuelx, 9/23/2019 at 8:55 PM SF didn't mention any problems during install so I'm assuming the parts #'s that were emailed to me (and that I ordered) were correct... Many thanks to all and especially Samuelx. Sometimes…
- 8th Gen Speed bleeders My new 2015 VFR FD has darkening brake and clutch fluids. I put Speedbleeders http://www.speedbleeder.com/ in all my bikes and love them. I searched the speed bleeder site for 2015 VFRs but they only go up to '09. I…
- SPORT tourer 11 hours ago, Marvelicious There are definitely worse things out there... [image: Screen Shot 2017-06-09 at 11.44.13 PM.png] For once in my life, I am speechless!
- SPORT tourer 2 hours ago, Marvelicious That's the thing that has always kept me away from hard bags... they just spoil the look for me. It's like going to the class reunion and discovering that hot girl never hit the gym after…
- Three types of throttle locks 1 hour ago, Lorne For others checking this thread, here is the on that works best for me. Simple, inexpensive, and easy to apply or release. Of course, I'd prefer a true cruise control. [image: black383.jpg] [image:…
- Three types of throttle locks 2 hours ago, Indiekixx I am so glad I saw this post as I just realized I have ordered the wrong kaoko throttle lock. I have heated grips and ordered the one for non heated grips but was able to cancel the order in time.…
- Three types of throttle locks OK, bought a Kaoko throttle lock for 2015 VFR 800 F with Honda heated grips (HND 29) not to be confused with the HND 31 for non- heated grips. On sale for $128. Its coming. Normally I use the NEP type throttle lock but…
- SPORT tourer 17 hours ago, Calculon Very nice. What are “Oprah bags”? Imagine looking at the south end of Oprah going north....these bags are wider than the FJR's but they are nice bags.... [image: vfr 1 small.JPG]
- Manual Mistakes? 1 hour ago, Marvelicious Well, I would have hoped that a bit of friendly cross Atlantic ribbing would have been taken in the spirit it was intended, which is very much in the spirit that the language ribbing was taken…
- Manual Mistakes? 13 hours ago, Marvelicious So, as long as we're taking the piss (as you limeys would say) with regard to English... I'm pretty sure we earned a pass on abusing the language however we please since you aren't all…
- SPORT tourer WEll, she's coming together...risers, sliders, big foot, Oprah bags ($100 to the locksmith to put the tumblers together) Next up, tank protectors, throttle lock, Motech soft luggage rack, and maybe some windscreen lip…
- Manual Mistakes? The sliders are on. Interesting that the old engine mounting bolt is hollow. To save weight? [image: slider done.JPG]
- Manual Mistakes? "Benjamin..." "Yes Sir.." "I have one word for you." "Yes sir?" "Plastic" (To the guy who put on my original oil filter..would you please check the torque on your airgun? Its 19 ft-lbs, not 1900 ft lbs.) [image:…
- Manual Mistakes? 47 minutes ago, Egg on Leggs I do like what Americans have done with the english language but I do have to refer to one of your great language and cultural education programs before I go there. It is called The…
- Manual Mistakes? Ha! The screws/bolts/push pins/pushlocks are all out and in the board! Time to tear off some plastic. [image: the board small.JPG]
- Manual Mistakes? 4 hours ago, Dutchy An American colleque mentioned she bought a new shag carpet...... "Oh really?" :tongue: And what IS a bonnet and what is a boot? What are fitting instructions. What is near and far side? I am…
- Manual Mistakes? 11 hours ago, sudolea If you're already having trouble, being an American, with decoding British English, what then should people say who aren't speaking English as their mother tongue ? 😓 But then again, reading the…
- Manual Mistakes? 5 hours ago, VFR4Lee Nice idea for the "screw board". Too many things have inscrutable instructions written in ESL. I can almost translate the British to American but they dont number the instructions and all the…
- Manual Mistakes? Now that I have had my bike a week, it is time to put on the R and G sliders (tomorrow). These look very high quality..... Whenever I take plastic off a bike, I make up a "screw board" so when I take off a…
- 8 gen spare keys Grum, 8/27/2019 at 7:05 AM I do exactly the same. Always take my spare with me on long trips, mainly because of the HISS on Australian models. The internal transponder within the key can fail, if you're unlucky! If I…
- 8 gen spare keys OK! I got my key from Taylor Lock and Key, North Carolina./ Keys4urride No 9 percent WA state sales tax $4.55 first class post $40.80 Total (I elected to get the official Honda blank as it looks purdy but I could have…
- The dreaded valve adjustment Dutchy, 8/23/2019 at 10:47 PM PS: the rest of the service (oil, coolant, hydraulic fluid, sparks) any compentent mechanic SHOULD be able to do. Or do it yourself (for the fun of it) Hey, Ever use speed bleeders? I love…
- Do you find draining the oil a PITA ? YoshiHNS, 8/6/2019 at 4:24 PM And I submit my retort. You need a Stahlbus drain valve. Comes with hose attached to the mating part, solving the biggest issue of controlling where all that oil goes. Available with safety…
- The dreaded valve adjustment 37 minutes ago, ScottieDucati The biggest trouble doing valves is getting all the stuff off the bike. It’s a perfect time to send injectors out for cleaning, and access the coolant cross pipes to make sure their gaskets…
- The dreaded valve adjustment 24 minutes ago, Marvelicious All things considered, there is a lot of useful info available on this forum and people are usually pretty helpful. Unfortunately, we occasionally get bogged down disagreeing on minor…
- The dreaded valve adjustment 37 minutes ago, Grum Hi Saoirse. Bit of a shame you feel this way. Personally I have found this thread to be incredibly informative. Disregard the passionate fors and against, just look at all the valuable info put…
- The dreaded valve adjustment 2 hours ago, Dutchy I only know of 1 VTEC engine that blew up in the 20+ years I follows VFRs.... Turned out that the PO never changed the oil in over 50,000 miles. The new owner took the bike onto German Autobahns…
- The dreaded valve adjustment 9 hours ago, Indiekixx Geez.. I was planning on taking mine for service at Beaverton Bob's or Procaliber in Vancouver.... I haven't been impressed with either. What's with all the crap mechanics in this region? OK, this…
- 8 gen spare keys 1 hour ago, sudolea Never needed more than 1 single key myself 😎 What would you use a (e.g.) third, fourth key for ? The main key gets a red "Remove before flight" flag and goes with the other bikes' keys. The second…
- 8 gen spare keys Greetings: New member. I just bought an 8 gen. Its amazing how much disinformation is on the web but I THINK the 8th Gen uses a non-chipped key in the US and I THINK it is a 351MGPA93 Blank. Is this a key blank that I…
