All 32- Bar risers and lowered pegs 23 hours ago, tomb393 I should mention bar risers are oem and bike came with both mods. I have the oem pegs and will soon try stock setup but it felt perfect from the get go with the mods, maybe cuz I'm only 5'6"? Which…
- Bar risers and lowered pegs Put my seat back into the lower position to lessen the extreme ergos to the bars, which only aggravates a right hip pointer. Bar risers definitely in my future. Even with clip-on adaptors on my Ninja 400 it is less…
- Driftless Wisconsin Covered the Wisconsin side of the Mississippi last June on trip to Road America. Later I find the best roads were along the west side. Won't be going back. Just to the track this year, boating both ways across the lake,…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? All of my bikes are on tenders since nov 6(michigan) 😞
- Money Shots: Your beautiful picture of your beautiful VFR in action. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AufbgC8xv959tUzJdpwzMquAq2sp?e=GRRqB3 The Dragon, 2020
- Maybe sport tourers are not Dead? 3 hours ago, VFR80025th I think I would prefer the bars a tad lower a la VFR. Colors are underwhelming, maybe a silver or even white would have been nice. Interesting machine though. Looks like the fairing rules out…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Being tired of mistakenly hitting the horn rather than the turn signals due to the reversed switch placement, I clocked the control position up about 20-30 degrees, putting the signal switch in the prominent position,…
- SC Project exhausts. Keep in mind that though mine came with the bags on, it can not be confirmed that the prev owner kept them on all the time. I am the second owner, the original purchasing the bike new about 3 years ago, putting 18k…
- SC Project exhausts. Mine came with both, so yes?
- Center stand removal Yes, now I have the gear necessary for track days other than needing a new front tire. After watching 2 crash within 20 minutes at the end of the main straight at Grattan in the expert class, my thoughts at partaking…
- Center stand removal Thanx for the reminders of the maintenance issues. A reasonable tradeoff for the stand scraping first
- Center stand removal My '14 coming with front and rear Dynamoto stands, I see not much use to the center stand once I master their usage safely. Is it true that the exhaust has to be removed to ditch the ctr stand?
- Non-Deluxe owners.... do you regret it? 14 hours ago, VifferCrab it’s loud. Louder than my 6th gen dual Delkevic system. It does come with a DB killer (baffle) which he removed and did not provide in the sale. I’ll probably buy a replacement, it’s $50, so a…
- Non-Deluxe owners.... do you regret it? Thinking of changing out my SC Project slipon for the Coffman to expose more of the rear wheel and for all around looks. My one thought is that it is going to be insane loud. Like to hear your opinions
- Runabouts While they do help over those 4 way stops, look out for cager that wants to change lanes within the roundabout rather than correcting their navigation error by just exiting and coming back in the right way.
- The King is dead, Long live the King. I tend to trade after about 2 years, coming from an MT07. If not for the mushy front fork I might have kept it, which I was working on. Most of the bikes I've had since my 20+ year layoff I have wished I still had, but…
- Highway 1 FUBAR'd again! So there is such a thing as too moist
- Forum Down??? I saw an error 500 message, googled it, ran a scan on the suggestion and restarted. ok. Coinkydink?
- The Solstice is upon us First trip likely to Elkhart Lake for the races 6/11-13 and up nort' for new stuff from the pro shop and back around and down
- Ho Ho Ho..... Hey, someone didn't type loose!
- Just curious, so when does you riding season typically end Put the bikes on comp insurance as of 10/24. Yes, I cheated for a couple days when it hit low 60's. Not worth it in Michigan with close calls with deer during the rut. Stuck looking at YouTube bike videos and plotting…
- Top 7 dorkiest motorcycles..... Look at us gettin all butt hurt as cycle cruza would say
- Top 7 dorkiest motorcycles..... So it's been said that the VFR is a grampas bike. So be it. One of the advantages of age is not caring about popular culture or the need to stay "cool". The VFR was also featured in their video of 9 top sport tourers,…
- Good chance I'm leaving VFRD - bike was stolen last week Have the same bike. I have to take the chance of thievery seriously. Will be more diligent in keeping it in sight when parked, though it's stuck in the garage til at least April Spoiler
- New category Anybody else see value in a new category for threads. In particular a sightings category for shoutouts to other VFR riders seen on the street? An 8th generation red one passed me last weekend and have spotted others,…
- Side Stand 15 hours ago, Grum Funny you mention that. For the first few weeks when making a turn I would regularly be hitting the horn button. BUT once I got used to it, it felt very natural and I wouldn't want it any other way.…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Disconnected the flapper. Just makes more noise leading up to the VTEC point. Reverting back soon
- What other bikes do you own? White 2012 Yamaha Roadstar Silverado S with 35k on it. Traded an '18 Mt 07 for the red VFR. Have to keep a comfortable cruiser for longer jaunts. To think of the VFR as a tourer is out of the question after my hop to…
- Side Stand I'll check that out. I did a sag check last week alone. Maybe it was a little much. I notice the "chicken strip" area is a third that of the front. I raised the seat yesterday, lessening the near hip displacement from…
- Side Stand Grum: I've replaced chain and sprockets to same issue. Notice when on ctr stand and with running I see the chain hop vertically. I can't remember that I ever noticed or checked for this in my dirtbiking days. Just…
- Side Stand
- Side Stand Has anyone else seen the need for a shorter side stand? The angle of a 800F is nearly perp to the ground with the stock side stand, not to mention the very close proximity of it's end to that of the center stand kicker.…
