All 22- Suggestions for 12v heated gloves under $250 +1 for Warm and Safe... I have a heated liner and their heated touring gloves and it's a game changer on cold days.
- Gen 6 VFR - Won't start in gear with clutch pulled in 11 hours ago, VFR78 I had the same issue on my G8 after heavy rain on a central Australian run. It was simply crap on the spade connectors at the clutch lever. Disconnected and a bit of a clean, then it was all good…
- Gen 6 VFR - Won't start in gear with clutch pulled in 16 hours ago, Terry The switch is cheap to replace, but you can try squirting contact cleaner into it while working the button in/out, maybe as simple as some dirty contacts in there. Don't forget that you also need…
- Gen 6 VFR - Won't start in gear with clutch pulled in UPDATE: Based on my testing, there is no continuity on the two wires when the clutch is pulled in, so I'll be ordering the switch to replace it. Will mark this topic as solved once I get it replaced.
- Gen 6 VFR - Won't start in gear with clutch pulled in Hi everyone. I'm back and looking for guidance on an issue that I noticed recently on my 2007. I got this bike a few months ago and I never really paid attention but I'm pretty sure I've started the bike in gear with…
- Returning VFR owner Thanks @Terry. I appreciate the insights.
- Returning VFR owner I remember the rubber strap holding the battery, however the battery in this bike is not OEM and is either shorter or I am missing a spacer that goes below the battery. There is not enough tension between on the…
- Returning VFR owner 15 minutes ago, vfrcapn Looks like a mechanical speedo drive? For some other bike. That's what I figured as well as I didn't see a resemblance to anything on the VFR.
- Returning VFR owner First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to my first return post ( https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/forums/topic/114018-what-to-look-for-before-purchase-2007-rwb-model/ ). I was a former owner of…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model 8 hours ago, VifferJ Looks like Iconic has some pieces for sale in their Moto Market, side cases for $650 and an upper for only $149. FWIW I bought some parts from them the other month and all was well with the sale and…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model 12 hours ago, Sweeper The front cowl is really expensive. You might try plastic weld on the inside and then repaint and decal. I searched for a cowl several years ago and found exactly one and it was $600. It's been a…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model I ended up getting the bike! Yay for new bike day!! There are some cosmetic items that I'll need to address, however the bike runs really nice which is what I was mostly concerned about. It looks like the front cowl…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model Thank you all for the helpful posts. one more question regarding the paint. What color is the base paint and what are decals on the RWB color scheme?
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model If there is something glaring/obvious about the bike, I will definitely walk because it's not worth it at that point... as long as I can see the potential damage. Someone mentioned to let the bike run on the center…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model 1 minute ago, Captain 80s What a weird comment from a seller. Either they are or not. Is he brokering a deal or is it actually his? Apologies. He said they are scratches. I should have re-read my post. He is not…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model 5 hours ago, TimC The bike looks good and those are some very nice (and usually desirable) modifications. I agree with @afinepoint on the maintenance items. If the seller has records, great, but if not -- and maybe even…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model Good callouts and I also noticed that. The seller said that those might be scratches but will definitely investigate. here is a close up of the brake lever and cover. Looks ok to me.
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model Just some pictures of the bike.
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model Thank you @afinepoint. I appreciate your input. It looks like it has an aftermarket windscreen. This is the ad: heli bar risers Sargent seat SBK exhaust new chain and sprockets LED lights cruise control new pilot roads…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model @VeeEffArah I see that you also have a 2013 FJR, I have the same bike and thinking of getting the VFR and selling the FJR. In your opinion, do you think that's a good move? I also have a 2021 Africa Twin Adventure…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model Thanks for that reply. The rear wheel is 5 spoke so probably painted. As far as the low RPM thing... he said that it just make the bike run better off a complete stop. Good question about the service history. I'll ask…
- What to look for before purchase - 2007 RWB model Hi everyone! Returning member here. I had a 2007 VFR800 about 15 years ago, but I ended up selling the bike because I needed the money and have regretted selling that bike since. I found another 2007 VFR800 RWB with…
