I just got new tires. No clue on how to install
the fronts correctly, but I didn’t have this issue before the removal and re-install. It is only on the right and it feels like the wheel is slightly off kilter but I can’t tell.
A lot of saving had to happen but its finally mine!
First 'real' bike after starting on a 250gsxr.
2005 model with a modest 49.500Km on the dash. Looks and rides absolutely amazing, cant wait to see all the places she takes me.
Now on to look for the OEM topcase and carrier in red (eu preferably) if anyone has tips.
I just love getting up early to enjoy the empty roads.
Has anyone here ever added a supercharger to a vfr400. I’ve ordered the blower and all the supporting mods needed other than timing and I’m still deciding on pistons. If anyone’s done it what were the results and would you do it again. I know bite the bullet ask questions later. Also if anyone’s done it what timing setup did you go with
1 owner, stock everything, 14k miles. Came with extra OEM seat and OEM panniers as well (no top pannier unfortunately). Not sure if I overpaid but it was $5k. Not dings, dents or scratches. Paint is mint. Not even bugs on the front. Came with scot’s stabilizer too! Only downside is I had to buy new tires.
I was in France and went to visit Gold Beach on May 7. I saw this beautiful VFR near the beach.
Has anyone had any success finding a good tail tidy to replace read fender on the gen 8?
I have RC36-I with 111 000 km in the clock. It’s not known when the valve clearance has been checked and the valves make a slight ticking noise which seems to be normal. Is it worth to get the clearances checked and done? The job can cost between 500-700€ here and the bike is probably worth 2k€.
If the bike is running nicely and sounds okay, would it be waste of money? I could try it myself, but it can end up as worse :D
27 years and counting and we are still modding and riding this old scooter. I decided to try some HID bulbs. It was a little bit of a PIA to get them installed as I had to take the upper fairing off and modify the headlight boots. But not too, bad overall. The lights are fantastic. 🍻
I'm thinking about getting my first sport tourer and just saw this thing in a shop - almost instantly fell for it's beautiful red curves.
But only 4k miles - it's definitely been sitting in a garage for many years. What should I look out for?

Hi All,
Can anyone identify the noise coming from this engine? It’s a rhythmic knocking/tapping sound, it doesn’t come up particularly well on video but in person it is very apparent. It is awful on a cold start and gets less obvious as the engine warms.
I think it’s coming from the top end but can’t be sure, the bike is a 2011 Gen6 approaching 30k miles.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks!
Was taking a long right hander at a decent way through 3rd gear, felt like i hit something, whole bike bucked and got unbalanced, got it back on line and kept riding to work, developed a rattle on the starter so decided we should have a look.
The tension gear on the main drive had come apart, still haven't found all the teeth....
It supposed to connect from the frame to the tank, it had a becker navigation connected to it at the tank which i removed, do i sti need this regardless?
Good day,
It's time for replacement rubber on my VFR. I like to do long tours and my last set was Dunlop Roadsmart IVs. I'm happy with the overall wear as I got from my last set. I got about 12,000 km out of them and didn't have any grip issues. Does the community have better recommendations for a solid touring tire with good performance and wear?
I wasn't expecting the difference to be so noticeable, but it is so much smoother with the RB Race!! Now i have to figure out what to do with my 1 month old PC6 unit since i don't need that anymore.
Pic of bike just cause, lol
