  2. Totaled the VFR 14 Mar 2010 17:31 Well the VFR is totaled. I was riding home from work on Friday Feb 5th about 930 pm. I was approaching an intersection and noticed a couple of cars stopped at a light heading opposite direction waiting to turn left. As…

  7. Man, I like the White VFR1200. 9 Dec 2009 18:35 I agree, easily my favorite for the new bike! The white color combo makes the bike look slimer overall. Action
  8. Apparel 9 Dec 2009 14:30 For cold weather I take my JR Meteor jacket w/liner, Tourmaster pants, Tourmaster winter gloves, and AF neck gator. I ridden to work in the teens with this combo and was fine.…
  9. Delkevic headers 27 Nov 2009 16:28 I put a set on my 04. Here's my post on the install link . You don't have to add headers with a new set of exhaust pipes. It will run fine. However, if you are going to install the new exhaust and catless headers, you…

  11. not getting hot enough 7 Nov 2009 20:03 Ryanme17, The t-stat should begin to open at 176-183F (80-84C) and be fully open by 203F (95C). Action
  12. Uniqlo Heattech Undergarments 1 Nov 2009 00:23 REI also has some good quality undergarments. If you go with the REI brand they are pretty reasonable ($30). For me they have the added bonus of coming in tall sizes. REI Long underware . They also have an outlet site…

  14. More Cooling Questions 25 Sep 2009 22:14 You can put a VTR fan in place of the stock fan (I think JEV started the thread). Like BR said it will blow hot air out on to your leg. I think whether the stock set up works well or not depends on the climate you ride…
  15. Getting Stiffed For Insurance 28 Aug 2009 11:36 I know insurance rates vary, but I have Geico and I'm only paying 340 a year for full coverage. Hope esurance can hook you up. Action
  16. Running Rich And Surging 10 Aug 2009 20:28 What did the plugs look like when you pulled them? Have you checked for error codes? Action
  17. Top Speed Per Gear? 20 Jul 2009 01:02 If you like to play around with gear ratios, you can go to Gearingcommander.com. You can put different rations and see the difference from stock. It will also give you speed in each gear. Action
  18. Hail Stone 1; Vfr Gas Tank 0 (+4 Dents) 9 Jul 2009 23:50 What about one of the paintless dent removal shops? Action
  19. Engine Temp 27 Jun 2009 01:40 Joe, IMO most people check the left rad because of the flow pattern. The coolant comes out of the thermostat housing and goes to the right rad then the left rad (see the service manual for a diagram). As the bike heats…
  20. How'd You Protect The Taillight? 22 Jun 2009 19:30 I've got over 23K on mine with no noticeable degradation to the tail light. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1160361509/med_gallery_9137_2250_71484.jpg Action
  21. I've Discovered The Holy Grail Of 6th Gen Surge! 3 Jun 2009 14:17 Very Interesting! As always, I wish there was more information on exactly how the ECU interacts with the rest of the bike. I don't have a speedohealer yet, but it is on my want list since I�m plus 2 on the rear…
  22. Oem Heated Grips From Honda - Anyone Have Them Installed? 1 Jun 2009 13:06 I've had the Oxford grips for a while now and really like them. The controler has 4 settings and will shut off if the voltage drops to low. My bike sits outside at work almost everyday and no problems the controler…
  23. 6th Gen Running Cold. Unknown Cause 14 May 2009 18:39 First, I agree, doing a O2 sensor elim couldn't hurt. However, I doubt that is your problem. The ECU only looks at the O2 sensors at 4-5K when the throttle is steady. Any throttle movement should send it back to a open…
  24. Not Sure If I'll Regret This. 6 May 2009 03:24 [image: View Post]elizilla, on May 5 2009, 05:23 PM, said: Maybe the guy swapping the GSXR has qualms too. Perhaps you could arrange to trade, and each ride the other bike for some short, defined period, and then if…
  25. The Inhumanity! 25 Apr 2009 03:04 Sorry Dude, glad you and the bike are OK. Like Seb said check the rad's, they are pretty easily damaged. I can certainly relate. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/uploads/1160361509/gallery_9137_2250_28654.jpg Rashed A…
  26. How Many Miles Are You Getting From A O/ring Chain? 18 Apr 2009 18:12 I got 20k miles out of the stock chain. I clean and lube the chain about every500 miles and ride about the same as Vanion2. Action
  27. Delkevic Headers Vs 6th Gen Vfr 16 Apr 2009 23:37 I was looking for something like that, but could not find anything even close to that in the size I needed. Everything I found locally was for a larger application, trying to find someting like that on a weekend didn't…
  28. Delkevic Headers Vs 6th Gen Vfr 16 Apr 2009 22:06 Thanks BR, I figured that out the 2nd time I put them back on :blush: Action
  29. Delkevic Headers Vs 6th Gen Vfr 16 Apr 2009 21:42 For those that don’t want read the entire post, my recommendation is save you pennies up and buy the Motad headers if you are shy about doing some work to get your headers to fit. The Delkevic headers are stainless…
  30. A Little Disapointed With My New Vfr 6 Apr 2009 00:07 DUDE, 30K for a VFR? Hopefully it will grow on you. I felt my 04 was a little bland to start with also. First, the VTEC motor doesn't really loosen up until about 10K miles. Things I've done that really help the bike…

  32. 2bro's Vale 17 Mar 2009 14:41 If you get the VALE system the cans are exactly the same. You could easily hook up both cans if you wanted too. I've seen one done here locally and didn't like the work that shop did. I have seen pictures of it done…
  33. Gotta Order Pr2's Soon - Best Price? 17 Mar 2009 14:23 Vanion2, Check out R&S west over by Cottonwood mall. Here is what I paid last year. Road 2 price Action
  34. Has Anyone Ever Seen Delkevic Headers 16 Mar 2009 18:48 I just ordered the Delkevic header that was on ebay. Hopefully it's decent. I live not too far away from where it's shipped from and the seller has good feedback so I took the shot. I'm basically looking to get rid of…
  35. It's Another One Of Those Bloody Vtec Threads 9 Mar 2009 00:46 My 04 is very smooth. I don't hesitate to run up through the VTEC engagement while leaned over in a turn. Action
  36. Engine Temp 8 Mar 2009 04:32 Ravi, Yes it should warm up to around 170. I road to work last week with temps in the low 20's and the bike temp stayed around 170 on the freeway. Reach down and check your left rad when your engine temp is around 150…
  37. Lv Carbon Vs 2bro's Carbon V.a.l.e. 3 Mar 2009 06:28 I would agree with your assessment. I've got the 2 bros VALE system and a friend had the LV's. The LV's had more of a V8 sound and the 2 Bros sound more like a V12 or F1 car. Action
  38. Why A Torque Wrench Is Worth The Money.... 21 Feb 2009 20:08 Dude, sorry about the tank. I've done the same kind of thing so now I also have a torque wrench. If you don't end up getting one shoot me a PM and you can borrow mine. Action
  39. My 2005 Vfr's Top Speed Is 137, What's Wrong? 10 Dec 2008 20:50 What are you using to measure your speed? Even GPS units have small inaccuries and small differences in things like air temp and tire pressure are magnified when tring to achieve to speed. If it makes you feel any…
  40. Where Should I Buy Tires? 16 Oct 2008 19:23 Check your local dealer also. R&S honda here in ABQ sells tires at 1/2 MSPR. They also try and hook you on mount and balence but have I mine put on at Cyclegear. Action
  41. Tyres, Temperatures And Pressures 10 Oct 2008 13:18 The ideal gas law states that that pressue multiplied by volume and divided by the temperature of a gas is equal to a constant (PV/T=c). If you due the math it comes out to about 1psi for every 10F degrees. I talked to…

  43. Hard On Headligts - Is This Common? 6 Sep 2008 13:53 Have you tried the Osram (European) Silverstars? They seem to last longer than the Sylvania (US) branded lights. I've had mine (low beams) in for 2 years and no problems. Action

  45. Losing Coolant... 3 Sep 2008 18:10 After I replaced my thermostat the line going to the wax unit started leaking. I took me a while to find it because, like you the fluid would decrease but I never saw any on the ground. In my case, what was happening…
  46. Repsol Fairing Set On Ebay For Vfr 29 Aug 2008 16:04 atx- I saw a guy last night (local bike night) that had an R-1 with a Rossi rep kit from Hong Kong. It was dark so I didn't get a real good look, but from what I could tell it looked very nice. He couldn't remember…

  48. What Size Socket For Rear Wheel Nut? 21 Aug 2008 16:51 I use a torque wrench. On my truck I know I'm close when I move the truck while thghting the lug nut. On the bike its just easier to listen/feel the click on the torque wrench. Action

  50. Ebay Fairing Kits 7 Aug 2008 21:26 That kit looks pretty good! I liked the other REPSOL kit but it didn't come with a tank cover and you would have had to paint the wheels orange to look good. If you go for it post up how the kit looks and how the…
