Last 50 of 887- Just curious, so when does you riding season typically end 50F High is the approximate cut-off for me whenever in the year it happens. Heated jacket and grips help to keep me warm. No rain, sleet or snow. And trailer if more than a 2-hour highway stint is involved.
- 2019 VFRD Memorial Spring Ride Wait. Trailering is wrong?
- 2019 VFRD Memorial Spring Ride Looks like a good crowd is gathering. I'm in. +1 P.S. Where are the donkeys?
- eliminating VTEC on 6th Gen This has been discussed here many moons ago, before 06+ remapping occurred. The consensus was that it wasn’t worth it. A lot of work for a theoretically very questionable gain. After 06, this has become moor.
- VFR800F - North Portugal Trip, Douro Vineyards Nice. Thanks for sharing! I was there is September - Took a day trip from Porto by car with wife and kids. I recall saying to myself that I should return on a bike one of these days. Beautiful country. Nice people. Hope…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) If mr Ohm isn’t lying, I’d need a 96W resistor on each coil? Assuming that coils get 12v. That’s a lot of resistor... Will rewire the thing to relocate the fuse box and the headlight relay(s) under the seat, get it…
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) I’ll give a resistor a try. Will report back.
- 4th gen Coil on Plug mod (split thread) JZH, did you ever get it running on COPs? I got some 2016 CBR COPS from ebay with a harness for my 3rd gen build. At $35, i figured I'd give it a chance. So, the resistance of the OEM coils is 3ohm and the COPS are 1.5…
- DIY Rear Wheel Balancing Solution? I've had Mark Panes for years and use it to balance VFR an other wheels as well. One of the better dollars spent.
- Pardon The Nudity... Level: GOD.
- 2007 VFR Spark Plug Change? at what K did you change them out? dgordon, 8/2/2018 at 12:32 AM Rice, so the K&N is not a good option on our bikes? I have been running stock currently but had heard good things about them for enhancing performance and also for economy - no need to buy…
- Everyone...how is your bike wired to charge your phone? 12 minutes ago, Zarquon I tapped into the tail light wiring to supply 12v to a 5v 2amp USB power supply($5 off ebay, so I bought a few). I use this to charge 7800mAmp external lithium battery that sits under the seat.…
- Bridgestone T30 Report 2 hours ago, fink It depends on where you do your riding. In busy areas there will be a build up of crap on the road and will become very greasy when road is wet. My mate from down south says he wouldn’t be able to ride…
- Bridgestone T30 Report I had them put on a couple of years ago and they have been my favs ever since. But while riding two up I almost lost it a couple of times during some spirited wet riding. I cant say whether other tires would have done…
- Everyone...how is your bike wired to charge your phone? I have a similar setup on my two bikes. My VFR has a piwerlet stem 12v socket into which I plug in the sigatette lighter type of a usb charger. On my DR650 I have the adaptor I posted earlier. One thing I do have on…
- Nameless July ride Looked like fun times. A bunch of delinquents frim from the May ride I see. Good game.
- Bridgestone T30 Report They are great for all kinds or riding until it gets wet.
- Everyone...how is your bike wired to charge your phone? I am using this dual usb charger with voltmeter built in https://www.amazon.com/MICTUNING-Adapter-Voltmeter-Socket-Motorcycle/dp/B0761KJSDV
- Got welder and junk grey pipe? 1 hour ago, Duc2V4 Although spell check isn’t one of the strong suits, wasn’t sure what “grey pie” was... 😉 Ah. Overeliance on technology is to blame 😇
- Got welder and junk grey pipe? Some junk grey pipe has been sloshing around my garage for a couple of years. Rather then throwing it out, I hacked a rear single sided stand. Not the prettiest thing in the world, but it works! [image:…
- 2007 VFR Spark Plug Change? at what K did you change them out? Update on my plug change. During the last T-Mack, I have noticed lack of power while riding 2-up. Actually had trouble passing on uphills with an extra 140lb on the bike. Asked Matt to do a sanity check and he came back…
- 2007 VFR Spark Plug Change? at what K did you change them out? Just changed at 45K miles for the first time. Old plugs looked not much different from the new ones. Will probably not touch them again.
- linked brake system bleed instructions it is an extra bleeding point - not reservoir .
- linked brake system bleed instructions You don't really need a pump for this. I tried using one, but ended up doing it the old way - Pump, hold, release...
- anyone know where to get custom sprokets? Use your GPS to read actual speed. Before the GPS, I would just assume that I am actually moving slower than indicated, which gave me license to go faster. With various degrees of success if you ask my license 😜
- Who's Going? VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 2018 I am definitely going. Will register shortly.
- Lost the Love I don't ride a lot. Never have, except for the time when I still considered commuting to work on a bike to be fun. So, my love for the sport is expressed during the annual trip to NC and 10-15 local rides. It's enough…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? looks good. Have more pictures of the whole bike? Also, how did you do it?
- The veefalo she is smoking. *valve cover oring* Wanted to say ride it into the ground and swap the engine, but the only one I see on ebay is $2k. I would do the following: Do a leak-down and pressure test Pop the valve covers and inspect for obvious signs of ware on…
- Best tires for the VFR??? Updated 2011 I put on a set of Bridgestone T30 Evos during the 2nd day of the NC trip and WOW. I don't say that often. Just Wow. Never had so much confidence during hard riding. Anything I could through at them was absorbed without…
- What ca you do with 500€?? My vote is on suspension. for this money, you can get a nice rear shock, which is a good down payment on having a well-setup bike, which is a pleasure to ride and ride hard with confidence. Next step would be fork…
- Stranded - Electrical help needed I would test the RR first and replace it if bad. Retest the Stator with engine off and on. Clean and tighten all grounds to the frame. Open, clean and dielectric grease all plug connectors. Add a ground wire from RR…
- Chain/Sprocket Kit Recommendations X-Ring chains have "X" cross-section of the O-Rings :wacko: . Not sure whether there are any regular o-ring chains left on the market.
- "tire scrub in a myth'? I always scrub them in and take it easy for the first 100 miles or so, regardless of whether it is really needed or not. It's cheaper than the alternative and doesn't hurt as much.
- AWE VFR800 sport cruiser custom I like it. Especially the amount of effort involved. Good job. Just don't add chrome or polished stuff. Keep it dark. Not that it matters in this case, but I wonder how much it weights and how it handles. In other…
- Mystery black box 11 hours ago, VFR4Lee Big Brother box from 1984. :goofy: You might have something there. There are those tracking gizmos that allow to recover a stolen bike. Never seen one myself.
- Mystery black box Alarm? Definitely not OEM.
- Just picked up a 93 vfr750f Welcome aboard. Did it come with a clean title? The engine - open the cap on the clutch cover, make sure its in neutral, spray cylinders through the spark holes and try to turn with a wrench. It could be a fun project.…
- Linked Braking Parking lot turns are not a problem with linked brakes. It does get a touch uneasy on gravely downhills, but his is a 1% fringe case. Otherwise, I absolutely love them. Combined with ABS - Perfect.
- Truck guys I got Towblazer - A Kendon knock off. Fits 2 full size bikes or 3 dirt bikes. Excellent quality and tows like it isn't even there. Stands up against the wall in my garage when not in use. I love it. The only issue is…
- Vfr 750 - 92 +1 - Welcome home! I had or rather have the same issue with mine. It was bad enough to warrant drastic measures and it is still not perfect, but MUCH better than it was. Here is what I did: 1 - Wet sand with the finest…
- pulls to the right... If steering head bearing checks out, just ride the current tires out and i'm sure that all will be OK when you replace them.
- 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride 11 hours ago, timmythecop Are you coming? To the event, that is... :comp13:
- 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride Room booked. See y'all there.
- Big engine repair! Knobber, I hate to see you go down the wrong, read more expensive, road. Before you get too far into fixing your motor, just remember that it's not so much the parts, as it is the labor that will get you. Especially…
- Ducati supersport Interesting bike. What would be the maintenance costs on it? Much more than on the VFR?
- Big engine repair! You could probably buy another 06 VFR for not much more than $2500. I would suggest buying a replacement engine and either installing it yourself or having an independent shop install it for you. This will cost under…
- engine repair +1 I'd take the bike back and do the following: Remove spark plugs and turn the engine by hand to hear for sounds, like pistons hitting valves. If NO noise, go to Step 2. If YES noise, go to Step 3. Check timing. If…
- 1st Annual VFRD Spring Memorial Ride Yes. I want to know more please. Never mind. Can't get used tot he way this new website works. I'm in. Will be booking the room today. See y'all there. And again, thanks Ben for keeping the tradition alive!
