Last 50 of 95- The dreaded valve adjustment ScottieDucati, 5/31/2019 at 2:55 PM If any mechanic tells you they’ve learned everything they can they’re not worth paying. I’m always learning, started learning how to check valves about a decade ago. By now I’m…
- Bay Area Roll Call ride June 22 Great route. Wish I could join, but moved across country. Really miss the CA riding and this was my local area. Enjoy!
- Camping at Sonoma Raceway BARF (Bay Area Riders Forum) would be a great place to ask this. Lot of racers and fans there. I've been there often but never camped. But did camp at Laguna many times.
- 2019 VFRD Memorial Spring Ride Sweeper, 2/18/2019 at 6:44 PM There aren’t usually organized rides. The groups are mostly five to seven. We all try to help new folks find a good group fit. It is a memorial ride so we always try to respect that. Come…
- 2019 VFRD Memorial Spring Ride Hmm. Never had any ability to do this when in CA. But now in Raleigh, and need to see some decent roads before I go nuts. Haven't seen a turn since I moved here. A few questions: -Anybody riding out there from…
- 2006 Makeover Project Wow, looks great!
- Greetings from Napa, CA 18 hours ago, y2kcbr Yup! You had a red bike. That was me on my 25th! Indeed. Glad you got back on one!
- 1984 Miniceptor Refresh Very interesting thread! Thanks for sharing and educating.
- Vfr8 Streetfighter I like the newer link pipe! Loop was neat but I like the cleaner look. And better clearance. Awesome project!
- 5th Gen Jack Up Kit to raise bike at the rear suspension 1 hour ago, RossR I did find the same company after I started this thread. They are very much cheaper (probably clearing out stock) and their website shows that they ship worldwide. I just don't know which height to…
- 5th Gen Jack Up Kit to raise bike at the rear suspension I've been considering doing this to my 4th gen. My last one I had dropped the triples about 10mm and it really improved the handling, but it sacrificed some ground clearance. So, I want to do this when I install a new…
- Greetings from Napa, CA y2kcbr, 11/6/2018 at 12:06 PM Im from CA - Not NC. Unless you were living out here in CA! Yes, I was living in Danville and Lafayette. Ride was around Berryessa and Napa area.
- Back on a VFR!! YYZ, 10/29/2018 at 6:52 PM We have the some of the best riding here in the mountains. I ride there every chance I get. I see your from CA. I lived there as well. Ever ride Ortega hwy? I have driven it in a car. I lived…
- Exhaust Slip on for 1999 3 minutes ago, adkfinn It is 350mm and I run it with the db killer in. I have a TBR can prior to this one so my frame of reference is limited, I've never heard stock can in person. That said, I also prefer my bikes to…
- Exhaust Slip on for 1999 17 hours ago, adkfinn I put a Black Widow high mount on my bike and think it is a nice can for the money. They have a lot of styles/options/sizes also. https://www.blackwidowexhausts.co.uk/silencer-kits-625-c.asp Pick…
- Back on a VFR!! YYZ, 10/27/2018 at 8:46 PM This is what I've been using. Interesting. Im going to look into that. Thanks. And, give me a shout if you have any decent rides around here.
- Back on a VFR!! 1 hour ago, marriedman If you use your phone as a GPS and are touring, they are not a distraction but a nice accessory. Coupled with a Sena, you could listen to music or use voice commands to call for help in the event…
- Back on a VFR!! 8 hours ago, squirrelman Can't ya just keep the phone in your backpack or pocket ?? it's a distraction nobody needs. I wouldn't want to crash on my expensive phone and get glass shards up my keister. And, I feel it's…
- Greetings from Napa, CA Didn’t we do a ride alooooong time ago on your last bike? At any rate, I just got back onto a VFR l, too!
- Back on a VFR!! Hello, I have been a member for quite sometime and used to post a bit. I had a 1994 750F. When I lived in CA I rode if for many thousands of miles and loved it dearly. Neve let me down. Upon moving to Raleigh, NC I sold…
- 94 Cafe Project Looking good!
- Emancipation! Hardly ever visit VFRD anymore, but boy was I pleased to see this today on a rare visit. So awesome to see you riding!! Once in awhile I will have an image riotgrrl pop into my head randomly and think to myself "I…
- my vfr project frankenVIXXER :D Wow!! You should be locked up mate!! Awesome.
- The old gal is gone... Sold my VFR this past weekend. Sold mine last August. Never did get another ride in with you before moving to NC. Take care man.
- ::: Vietnam: Viethorse's return in a beautiful Sunday :) Man, I enjoy these posts by you VH. Glad to see you on a bike again!
- 96 suddenly not running. Fuel filter?? Something gunky could have broke loose and clogged it.
- Sport riding while staying seated The way I ride on the street depends on the bike I am riding. But, I rarely hang off much if at all. I prefer a more upright riding style for street riding. I do believe it is important to "stand" on the pegs, or avoid…
- Two Brothers High Mount Exhaust Installed If you want my advice (40,000 on a '94): 1. Put regular single compound Pilot Powers on it. Stay with 170 rear wheel. The rear 180 3rd gen multi spoke everyone raves about is really for looks and slows handling slightly…
- The Ideal Honda VFR DCT I was puzzled at the 16" wheels, but my head exploded when I read 0-60 in 6 seconds. I can seriously run that fast and I am old and fat. Sounds like a CBR250 is right up your alley!
- Replace D&D muffler w/ stock can on 2000 VFR w PCII? Many times a pipe will need repacking. Which will quiet it down considerably.

- Big F Project Stunningly cool. Must be awesome to ride something that is so singular and unique, knowing all the work you put into it. It's extremely rare to see anything so well done on the road. And, I live here in the Bay Area CA…

- lots of talk about the rossi/stoner incident at jerez My opinion: I hear you kaldek. And, agree with most of what you are saying. It has taken poor Pedrosa a looooong time to be forgiven for what he did to Hayden. We all (well, most of us Americans) wanted to see Nicky…
- Check out this move... The really awesome thing about Shervin, is that he has managed to become the most famous motorcycle mechanic in the WORLD. Takes some serious ummm.... talent ... to become a legend in such a short time period. Talk to…

- Turning left VS's turning right I think a lot of people have problems with right turns solely because of the way they hold the throttle on right turns. The hand position is different then on left turns, imo.
- Carb Choke issues for a '95 Might have better results with a lower octane fuel? I think these run better on like 87. Unless Euro models are different......
- New Mirrors for my VFR I little pimpish. Maybe would look nice in black though!
- 1981 cb900f supersport rebuildupgrade Dang, this is going to be so awesome. :fing02: I always wanted one of these.
- O.K. Let's see what the reaction is from an owner's club....(High Mods inside) Awesome project! I dig stuff like this.
- My 95 v4 fighter project Interesting project! Coming along nicely.

- 7th Gen. Vfr Group Buy! Finally got mine in! I haven't been around much. Hope you are enjoying the bike Miguel!
