Last 50 of 232- Pulled Off Air Filter - Is This Normal? 1 hour ago, Mohawk I take it that those white plastic bottles in the airbox are NOT connected to anything, right ? If so they are sound resonance chambers, probably there just yo reduce intake noise for passing tests.…
- Pulled Off Air Filter - Is This Normal? DFOTECH, 7/13/2021 at 11:50 AM What are those 2 white plastic containers in the breather on either side? My G5 doesnt have those Kambucha fermenting reactors. Honda was originally hoping for big sales on Kalifornia…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- 15 hours ago, Magneto ... but also lots of tattered bikes there, not well cared for. Not sure why. Much obliged for the question, here is my favorite Englishman Matt working on this scary bike 😉 Fished from a canal?…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- 8 hours ago, DaveC Where are you getting this information ? This is the second post in this thread where you assume that English bikers do little or no maintenance and street race all the time. Sure, our winters are not…
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- ggtod, 7/14/2021 at 1:05 PM When talking Honda I expect to be 2031 or even 2041 and engine running like new! I have and seen many examples why you can run them troublefree. I didnt expect engine with oil to die , I…
- beware of new spammer Sparkie, 7/4/2021 at 6:53 PM Why would spammers waste their time on a website with such a small member base? Spearphishing, they are after awesomeness 😉
- Pulled Off Air Filter - Is This Normal? You realize it is 10 years old machine with 100k car miles on it. Keep on trucking.
- Engine GRANADED left stranded in the middle of nowhere -=SOLVED!=- I just checked calendar, yup still 2021. Thought is an old thread or something. With all the respect due to my English friends here, but buying 10 years old bike from England? Blokes, ride hard, year round, half of it…
- Aerodynamics and cooling Focke-Wolf? 🤣
- Aerodynamics and cooling What you ought to be looking at is design of cowling of Focke-Wulf FW-190. Two stage cooling, radial engine and still better aerodynamic than Spitfire.
- 98 fuel pump Pumps get stuck because of crud, once unstuck and flushed should be as reliable as any 23 years old pump. Replacement is a nice option, but why stop at the pump whole bike is a museum piece 😉 Prices for Japanese…
- 98 fuel pump Don’t write pump of just yet. Remove and with a pick tool give rotor a push.... see if pump spins after that. Another thing to check is wiring downstream from the connector. I had a terminal broken off once on a…
- VFR1200F DCT 2013 won't go in gear Good news indeed.
- Motorized “pedestrians” Interesting stuff. I need to investigate
- Motorized “pedestrians” So looks like bike mob is a common problem across different continents. Back in a day it was a bear to turn on the lights on a bicycle, but today with excellent led lights there is really no excuse.
- Motorized “pedestrians” Got a close call yesterday, thought I share. For starters I do not like to ride at night, local 4 and 2 legged wildlife come out to play and there is lots or road hazard lately. Shredded truck tires and boat stuff being…
- Hi Everyone Amazing how some designs age well while others don’t, congrats. I could use good painter for my projects. Most around here are mad as tanners....
- VFR1200F DCT 2013 won't go in gear Hopefully this turns out well for you. I just went through a boomer like that on my truck. While traveling I was forced to pay through my nose for obscure emission system repair, just because oem set us owners in a tap.…
- A badge of honor? Juicy... 😂
- VFR1200F DCT 2013 won't go in gear rtho782, 5/4/2021 at 11:49 AM Just been told they need to replace the "control unit", and quoted £2,300 for the *part* with no guarantee of a fix. I do not think they know what they are doing. See if you can find…
- Do I need to see a DR? Dutchy, 5/4/2021 at 1:52 AM Any places in Oxfordshire (left) to ride offroad? If not, why bother.. :laugh: [image: image.jpeg.5b68eb84049b3bebfd7149df989821bd.jpeg] Spot on. Down here dual or dirt bikes become tools of…
- PROJECT VFR.....20 Year refresh. 2 hours ago, Careca I think service history is so important. I get the fact that I am buying a bike and its 2021 and some will argue who cares if it was serviced back in 2002 , it is how it is now that matters. However…
- Coefficient of Drag number??? Assumption. Just make reasonable one. Some base numbers here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amp/drag-coefficient-d_627.html
- Joining the VFR Family Welcome. 1200 is an amazing bike.
- If You Had to Choose Can’t argue with that... it’s big bike.
- Random Photos Thread 5 hours ago, DannoXYZ why thank you, I try to stay in shape! :fing02: I actually made some money as photographer couple decades ago. [image: uc?export=download&id=12RAhIflndMAoa4IiA] wow!
- If You Had to Choose Easy choice, VFR1200.

- Random Photos Thread 1 hour ago, squirrelman april 21, and it SNOWED 4" in buffalo overnight ! 🙁😌 Must be global warming?
- Random Photos Thread I see you are less strict when it comes to tripod... 😊

- Spark plug query I am also a Denso fan. Autozone carries Denso, I got a set for my truck recently. They were reasonably priced since Denso has factory in Tennessee
- Spark plug query 1 hour ago, DannoXYZ .....I just use $2 copper plugs. Iridiums don't last 5x longer, so copper plugs work just as well, but needs to be cleaned/re-gapped or replaced more often. Danno we shouldn’t compare price of plugs…
- Spark plug query HThe Online purchase before I wise up to possibility of someone counterfeiting spark plugs. Blow was also to myself not being able to tell them apart from genuine ones. Even now after I studied the issue only one…
- Antisocial Riding Here we call them nut wagons... 😛 https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/suspect-sought-in-hialeah-gardens-bus-stop-triple-shooting-that-left-young-man-dead/2428440/
- Antisocial Riding Cars are different in a sense that as soon as autonomous capabilities are fully developed human factor will be taken out entirely in the name of safety and efficiency.
- Antisocial Riding Somebody correct me if I am wrong but there is lots of lead piping in Northumbria? https://www.nwl.co.uk/leadpipes
- Spark plug query Since we open up and stuff, I was a victim of counterfeit Iridium plugs sold under Denso brand. Everything was made to look legit down to OEM major brand paper boxes. Bad guys went for all the trouble but adding…
- 4th Gen has no spark Process of elimination. You confirmed that ICM is known good ( new or have you hear it running in another bike?) Now I would concentrate on clean inputs to the ICM. Clean power, clean ground. I see you have tested pulse…
- 4th Gen has no spark Bypass time....
- Spark plug query This was inevitable at some point Grum, it’s cool. ;-). Note I am talking in general about older bikes, that often have smaller gaps. If there is a direct replacement Iridium plug for the application that is great, I…
- Spark plug query Seriously, kosmos is the source. Thing with iridium plugs they have huge gaps made to work with modern high energy coils. This is where performance comes from. For older bike I would gap them to match output of existing…
- Is 19mA dropping to 2.4mA a Short? (I have an 3rd party immobilizer/alarm fitted) It’s not a short for sure. We reserve the term for higher current flow. We are looking if you have parasitic draw, I would say not. That initial jump after connecting tester in series is due to instrument cluster waking…
- Antisocial Riding Thing is we do not have mass transport and everybody is driving, even the ones unable to get driver license to a proper standard known from other countries. Our driver ed is a joke on the top of that as you mentioned.…
- Antisocial Riding 46 minutes ago, Dutchy FREE THE PEOPLE!!! :tongue: And let everybody do whatever they feel they are entitled to. Not by law of course, because that will always be a compromise. And we cannae have that... Me, me, me!…
- Antisocial Riding 8 hours ago, squirrelman mostly to your ears alone trump country no wonder Personally I do not care about music much but exhaust music is important to people down here. Live and let live 😉 [image: 20210413-065648.jpg]…
- Antisocial Riding 3 hours ago, squirrelman ... and i'd like to add that riding with any muffler i can hear from half a mile away is also anti-social. Not in the South, it ain’t. It’s considered music here 😉
- Antisocial Riding 3 hours ago, Wald Amen to DannoXYZ comment comment above! I like where this discussion is going. To Dutchy's defense (related to speeding or antisocial riding) I think her is right on the point with you know what the…
- Antisocial Riding I do not think I can agree with general statement “safe at legal speed” claims. Note that we/ big we, are not safe at any speed. See carnage numbers just from US alone. Driving is a single most dangerous activity we are…
- Antisocial Riding LOL, moment I heard this anti-s designation I knew some agenda is being pushed. Note we are already carrying trackers, we buy them on our own and pay for the service. All they want to be able to do is access the live…
