Last 50 of 624- 02 starter running Just out or curiosity, is your ignition switch sticking? My 02 switch starting doing that because I think the spring got worn out. Just an easy thing to check and one more thing to eliminate before the deep dive into…
- 2002 VFR 800A for sale $4000 I wish I could afford keeping it and suffer from MBS but that is not possible so I am looking for a new home for my VFR. Here's what she comes with: ABS New Perrelli Diablos (500 miles on them). New chain/sprockets (500…
- Lost Givi monokey keys in house fire The cases that I lost the keys for were V35 side cases. Still someone may benefit from that information so thanks for sharing!
- Lost Givi monokey keys in house fire T ShipFixer, 5/8/2021 at 5:20 PM Yes - these are easy to replace with new tumblers and keys. Part number is Givi Z228: GIVI Z228 3 Lock set and 6 matching keys…
- Lost Givi monokey keys in house fire Never mind. I took the side cases to a locksmith and I am glad I did. They tried to make a key which surprised me because my research turned up just making a duplicate was a challenge. As expected they were…
- Lost Givi monokey keys in house fire So I have 2 x V35's that are locked closed and no keys to open them with. Any suggestions on how to get them open without damaging the cases? I already ordered a new set of Givi locks with keys so I don't care if the…
- If You Had to Choose I wanted to add a few more things here. I ran across a couple riding the R1250RS. It was impressive to look at so I asked the pilot how he liked it. He said it was a great bike and his only complaint was replacing the…
- If You Had to Choose Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX. I got to sit on one and it felt just right. It's also light. I could see myself putting miles on that bike comfortably.
- Everything else works . . . tach is dead! If your VFR is a 6th gen (I can't tell using Tapatalk) then I would check the plastic connector that generates the tack pulse. They are subject to wear and tear and I have had to replace mine in the past. It is cheap…
- Merits Of Abs And/or Linked Brakes In The Corners I came from a 2002 Yamaha R6 to the 02 VFR I have today and I can honestly say that for me the VFR's ABS made me a believer. It was way too easy to lock up the rear wheel on the R6 which translates into longer, less…
- New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well Keep in mind I love my 6th gen but I wouldn't go out and buy an 8th gen because the VTEC engine isn't all that impressive to me and it's heavy. I had to invest a lot of money to make it more comfortable for longer rides…

- Exhaust Ideas For My Rwb Vtec Stock Yamaha R1 Titanium exhausts with shields. Light weight, only slightly louder and looks like it was made for the VFR. All you would need to do is add a custom Y pipe to connect to the header and you are set. And as…

- Any Good Shorter Rides Around Dfw? Hmmm...2-4 hours. Isn't that about how long it takes to get to a fast food joint from your house? :goofy: Sorry, couldn't resist. The DFW area is ridiculous and I am glad the family I visit down there regularly just…
- Oem Parts/ Honda Ext. Warranties Yep. I just recently had to order a part for a Goldwing that I damaged when my bike tipped over. Saved me about the same for the part and the Goldwing owner was completely satisfied with his new OEM Honda part that…
- Cooling Fan Won't Activate I had the same issue when I first bought my VFR and it turned out the fan itself had been unplugged. You probably have already checked that though...

- Vfr Hitch Carrier Transport That gives me the jitters just looking at it. All that weight on that small receiver bar. Too many engineering physics classes and bumpy roads in my life I guess. I have my fingers crossed that you are looking at many…

- How to Embed a Google Map The way I do it for google maps is the same but less steps. Just make your map as HS describes, copy the link, then paste it to your post and add the map tags. Keep in mind sometimes Google maps misbehave and the link…
- Power Commander V - Not Impressed Namaste Bitches :biggrin: Really? Inappropriate.
- Anyone Ever Rebored/overbored A 5/6Th Gen I say do it and be sure to include dyno graphs and costs once your project is complete. :fing02: I always love seeing someone boldly going where all the nay sayers have never gone before. Your bike. Your rules. :biggrin:
- Anyone Else Put A Stereo On Their Vfr If by stereo install you mean plugging in some noise cancelling ear buds to my mp3 player, putting my helmet on, and going...then yes. The best part is it kills the wind noise, allows me to enjoy my flavor of music and…
- Kim And Micah - To The Lightning Field! Interesting. I live in ABQ and never even heard of this. Did a google maps search and all I saw was a flat desert area with a bunch of cows. Went to the web site and it seems you have to make reservations to share a…
- Unchain My Bike... Or So I Thought... Wow. Nice first post. This should be interesting to watch. Good luck (maybe PM BLS to get his attention?).
- Deer Vs Vfr Allergies to deer...lol...I like that. Take it easy and heal fast. Glad you are still around to make bad jokes. :wink:
- La Conner Not Friendly To Motorcyclists--My Weekend Adventure When I do get pulled over I make sure to ask that they legibly print their name and badge number on the ticket/warning early on, never argue, and remain polite admitting to nothing. To date I have never got a lecture…
- Honda Police Bars I bought an LSL kit for a Ninja 500 and you can put together any kit you want for your specific bike. Just buy the correct base that the bar attaches to and the rest you can pick and choose by part. They will even do…
- Led Tail/brake/signals Fast Flash Vanion this is on my cb1000r. I think the built in flash relay is for incandescent and so is not the correct resistance as said above. Correct. What I am saying is there are after market flash relays you can install in…
- Led Tail/brake/signals Fast Flash What? No flash relays on the VFR? If there is that would be the easiest as you wouldn't need all the resistors.
- Close Call! Whew. Glad you avoided yet another clueless cager. As for the rest...that's your story to write. I ride when I feel like riding. I don't force it because then it's just not fun and therefor not worth it. One time I had…
- Hid Projector Headlights Very nice! +1 on the pilot's view of the cutoff.
- Northern New Mexico Day Ride Just over a week out! I am so looking forward to this ride.

- Northern New Mexico Day Ride Turns out my wife decided she wanted to go camping the weekend after my planned motorcycle/camping trip so I am turning it into a day ride and extending an open invitation to any one interested in joining up. When:…
- Vfr Can't Keep Up With V-Rod? I love reading these kind of threads. Doesn't matter if it's a car or bike these are always entertaining. It's always going to come down to the driver. Sure the right bike will help but always the driver.
- Gopro Hero For $80 In Bestbuy I've been eyeing the GoPro but their latest versions seem to have some quality control issues (freezing up, battery drain issues, etc). Can anyone with the White/Silver/Black edition comment on their experiences so far?
- Oh The Huge Manatee Going out on a limb here but is that bike from Florida? :goofy:
- Tell U Where To Ride - A Short Video Journey From Phoenix To Telluride Nicely done and just with an iPhone no less. :fing02:
- Zumo & TomTom are Obsolete Well, I have the Zumo 450 and just recently moved to the Smartphone realm. That being said I also have the life time map updates from Garmin. Since I already paid for the Zumo, have the latest maps (just updated this…
- Modular Vs. Standard Helmets: Anyone Switch Back? I have one of each. Modular so I don't have to pull the helmet off at security check points when they want to see my face at work and solid for all other riding. I am not a fan of modular helmets because they are…
- Hid Projector Headlights VFR4Lee And the purpose of baking your parts is? :unsure: Does it release some adhesive or something? Obviously I have not read the instructions. :sleep: Yep. Softening the glue that binds the shield to the housing.
- Hid Projector Headlights As far as I know there are no internal ballasts unless it is some high end cage and the projectors would be even bigger to accomodate them. Not something you would want for the VFR. You probably could have freed up some…
- Way too close for me Glad you made the right call with the information you had. :fing02: Get that GoPro out and video them next time. The police can use that as evidence but under any circumstance do this from a safe distance so you are not…
