  2. 2014+ VFR800F Quickshifter 2 May 2024 19:30 1 hour ago, Mohawk You are spot on, but 3rd party QS's don't send anything to the ECU they just cut the signal to the plugs to skip a few RPM. Would be nice if manufacturers built an access port into the ECU, so you…

  7. Front left calliper 5th gen 29 Aug 2022 17:50 Not to say you are wrong @Terry but the manual is just as old as the bike 😉 Silicone Grease is fine, but there are better products out there nowadays. Just like how we dont tend to use copper grease anymore either.…
  8. Front left calliper 5th gen 26 Aug 2022 07:02 @Mrbiggabit Sadly no, There is no way to pull it off without disconnecting the hose. I know its frustrating I would say to try and clean it best you can by gently lifting the boot as you already do. Can i ask why you…
  9. What a difference a year makes... 29 Jul 2022 06:26 9 hours ago, Terry Boonstra Parts shows a complete used fork in stock. Looks a bit ratty but nothing that paint wouldn't fix. Can you not get your fork leg straightened? Usually as long as there is no sharp kink just a…
  10. What a difference a year makes... 28 Jul 2022 16:16 Honestly I would have to disagree with the 5th gen being overgeared. Makes for a lovely relaxed cruise at highway speeds. From the limited reading material there *is* a difference in R/R from the 98-99 and the 00-01 5th…

  15. How to secure the underseat toolkit VFR800Fi 6 Nov 2021 22:55 Hey guys, Simple question really. I have my toolkit, insurance and incident forms under my seat stored away, but they dont like to stay put. (also the stubby tire iron doesnt fit in the toolkit so that one like sliding…
