All 26- Good shock for 2015 VFR8X that wont break the bank? Thanks! Not MASSIVLY much harder then, the spring anyway, valving etc is ofc also going to be different. Will be fun to try out 🙂
- Good shock for 2015 VFR8X that wont break the bank? Currently out of country on a big exercise, once im home this piece of kit is being installed! Just had a chance to feel it out before i left, the adjusters click with clockwork accuracy, its a very nicely made shock i…
- Good shock for 2015 VFR8X that wont break the bank? Morados, 3/6/2025 at 5:59 AM I have the latest VFR800X model so the R1 stock option is the only available but I spoke to Brooks suspension and Nitron and they could not get the R2 and the R3 remote reservoir to fit but…
- Good shock for 2015 VFR8X that wont break the bank? 14 hours ago, Morados Let me know how it goes, I am also in the market for a Nitron R1 rear suspension on my Crossrunner and am hearing good things so far about the R1 from Nitron, The basic unit is the same as the R2…
- Good shock for 2015 VFR8X that wont break the bank? The ordering process on Nitrons site seems to have me covered (weight with gear/riding style etc etc.) I'll give it a shot, at least its gonna be serviceable... haha
- Good shock for 2015 VFR8X that wont break the bank? 21 hours ago, MBrane Any good serviceable/adjustable shock is gonna be spendy. That's why my 2 both have Penske 8987s. Buy once cry once. Fair point i guess Should i steer away from something like this then? Seeing as…
- Good shock for 2015 VFR8X that wont break the bank? Hi gents Now that i'v slightly upgraded my front with a Hyperpro kit, i can very much tell that the rear needs some help aswell... Annoying as cash is tight for me, but i'd like to hear if you guys have some suggestions…
- Dam Exhaust That sounds absolutely fantastic I recently picked this used akrapovic up from webike.japan, it only cost me 170 pounds (200 ish dollars) and well being titanium its waaaay lighter than the original + it polished up…
- Flapper valve on 2015 800x Thank you so much for that link, sorry i failed to find it before making a new post! Is it 100% confirmed that honda removed the flapper system entirely from 2017 onwards? If thats the case i find it really really hard…
- Flapper valve on 2015 800x Super confused reading around regarding the airbox flapper valve on these bikes Some say its strictly noise related, some say its there to give better airflow = torque at low revs. I really dont know what to think of…
- Engine cooling I can relate to the fan coming on all the time, but i'v never had issues with melted boots or trouble riding in 25-30 degerees, even at a track? Sounds like your bike is running completely as it should Redbike. You…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- Damn A 2011 bike with this shit now Not pleased haha
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- What a fucking mess Was one of my worst fears picking up this bike, the stories of the engine just dying of death with little warning. Mind if i ask what generation your bike was? I am yet to hear of a 2011+ gen having…
- Newby . Congratz and enjoy your VFR! Its good to have a place where we can rave over how awesome our rides are, the VFR deserves all the praise tho, simply a great ride.
- Are the differences between the 2010 vs 2012 + VFR1200 significant? 7 hours ago, RC1237V As above, get the Guhl re-flash or the other via cable and laptop. The traction control is very rudimentary, but has saved my bacon more than just a few times already. Yes it cuts power by almost…
- Are the differences between the 2010 vs 2012 + VFR1200 significant? 2 hours ago, Magneto ECU cost 1000 bucks, I would have to weigh my options before choosing online over brick and mortar service... Pretty sure Sabsteef talked about having a sort of backup, so he can reset it to factory…
- Are the differences between the 2010 vs 2012 + VFR1200 significant? 2 hours ago, tdmp Thanks. I ride in dry conditions so not that concerned about the traction control. I have a PC-V for my current bike but it sounds like the ecu re-flash is the preferred upgrade? Cant say for the…
- Are the differences between the 2010 vs 2012 + VFR1200 significant? I testrode a 2011 VFR 1200F and a 2015 VFR 1200F, the 2015 model had around 15.000 kilometers on it, and the 2011 had around 7000 kilometers, they were both in very good shape. I personally found the experience VERY…
- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. Skids, 11/15/2020 at 6:59 PM Great news. Please let us know how you get on with Sabsteef. I am considering it for the spring of next year. @Thumbs - why have a module when you can set the ECU to do everything you want…
- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. Picking the bike up next Friday Pretty hyped 🙂 The ECU is fitted underneath the tank i assume? Have already been in contact with Sabsteef ECU tuning (Stefan) and plan to do the remote tuning to get rid of the power…
- Bike is Reluctant to Turn https://www.bikefarmmv.com/epages/79512538.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/79512538/Products/"HHLRHO VFR 1200 F SC63" Ever looked at something like this?
- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. Had a good go on the VFR today, what a nice ride! Smooth but fast and powerfull, did not feel like my GSX-S would have an easy time if it came to a dragrace haha. Really pleased with the feel of the bike in general, but…
- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. 19 hours ago, RC1237V Mine (2013) has 35,00 miles on it and no issues, aside from a rock through the radiator and a deer collision at high speed. Neither of which can be blamed on Honda. Bulletproof bike, fast and fun!…
- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. (Hopefully getting a chance to ride the 2011 VFR this saturday). Thinking about perhaps importing a 2014 black one from germany I am not sure if i need the improvements brought on by the later versions, of if i'll be…
- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. 12 minutes ago, RedlineDrifter Hi Sunde, My 2011 VFR12F has been utterly bulletproof over the last 2.5yrs / 5k miles of ownership.. so granted I’m not what you would call a ‘heavy user’ but my buddy who lives across the…
- Older vs newer VFR1200 models. Hi guys, i currently ride a GSX-S1000 (but have owned a VFR800F which was lovely) I adore the engine on my Suzuki and the way it handles, but i'v got to admit i miss having a bike that i can just ride, and that does not…
