I have seen lots of aftermarket fairing sets form Hong Kong and China, and I have been told that some are very good quality, but which ones???? Any ideas which set is good on e-bay it's a lot to spend £320 ($500 +) to find out????????????

I'd much appreciate some feedback.

The good news is i saw no signs of damage as i was poking around in there; that is particularly exciting since when i rode it home from the sellers house i noticed a bit more than a small tick coming from the back cylinder head. I fired it up briefly after buttoning everything back up, and definitely didn't hear that same tick again. I still am a bit worried about it though since these have a history of top end failure and i have no history of doing valve adjustments. I am curious if anyone has had the job done at a dealership and can give me an idea of how hard they may bend me over a barrel for it. I know its silly to think about having the same job done twice, but really like this scooter and want to keep it around as long as possible.

P.S.

I am little frustrated.

Need all the help i can get! http://vfrworld.com/forums/trips-events/38632-big-trip-soon-need-all-help-i-can-get.html Thu, 17 May 2012 01:00:17 GMT Hey everyone,

This is my first post and probably my last before I start my 3600 mile trip. I'll be starting off in central Florida and heading up to Columbus/NE Ohio for a few days. From there I'm going to be making my way home to Portland, Oregon. I don't have too strict of a schedule to keep but once I leave Ohio I plan to be home within a week, but who knows what will happen along the way. My bike, a 98 vfr800fi, is new to me as is riding itself. Currently she's in the shop getting ready for the road. Can't wait to head out but I'm sure once I leave I'll think of something I wish I had. So I'm here to avoid this and need your help.

Ideas on the following would be much appreciated:
-Sleeping - a few hotels but mostly camping, favorite spots? Meeting couch surfer friendly people would also be amazing!
-Tools - might be a pain but as my bike is in the shop and home is nowhere in sight a specific list of road tools(sizes needed) would be beyond perfect. Short on cash so I'll only be acquiring the necessities.
-Fun - anything along the way you feel is worth seeing. I want this trip to be a memorable one.
-Traveling- great detour roads or anywhere you would avoid riding through.

Also if anyone is planning a trip or has the free time to jump on board road buddies are more than welcome!
Specific or general comments/questions, let me here your voices! Thanks to everyone in advance I'll try to reply quickly to any questions or offers you have. ]]> VFR2PDX http://vfrworld.com/forums/trips-events/38632-big-trip-soon-need-all-help-i-can-get.html Ebay find - not mine but nice http://vfrworld.com/forums/5th-generation-1998-2001/38631-ebay-find-not-mine-but-nice.html Thu, 17 May 2012 00:53:19 GMT Found this one today:

Over the winter I put a Two Brothers Racing M2 slip on exhaust system (only NON-cosmetic mod I’ve made so far), and it seems like the problem has only occurred after I put that on.

When I’m riding:

At a constant speed and hit a bump (large enough to bounce my hand on the throttle).

Or just finished speeding up (say just got to highway cruising speed from the on ramp), and back off the throttle to maintain speed.

The bike will “hiccup”.

Three times this morning the FI light came on for a second then turned off. Has anyone experienced this before?

With the exception of the hiccup, the bike rides and runs fine, just wondering what’s going on. I have the PCV, AutoTune, and a K&N filter coming today. Any chance they will fix the issue, or make it worse? ]]> Mechanics Garage Guj http://vfrworld.com/forums/mechanics-garage/38627-vfr800-hiccup.html Carb question http://vfrworld.com/forums/3rd-4th-generation-1990-1997/38626-carb-question.html Wed, 16 May 2012 11:16:09 GMT OK. Continuing on with my little pain in the ass project...
Got the carb off and cleaned up very easily with the help of the "tutorials" posted on here, so much thanks to everyone who posted their tips. I am having a problem now. Carb is off the bike and visually very clean but the throttle won't snap back closed. It takes about a second to close when I release it. I'm guessing I need to soak the assembly again but I wanted to see if there was another common problem that would keep it from closing. Before I cleaned it I could not turn the throttle by hand, it was like it was seized up with crap or something. It turns easily by hand now, but doesn't snap back like it should. The spring looks ok, but I don't know if there is anything else I should be looking for. Thanks if anyone could chime in... ]]> hamster http://vfrworld.com/forums/3rd-4th-generation-1990-1997/38626-carb-question.html First time VFR Owner! http://vfrworld.com/forums/introductions/38625-first-time-vfr-owner.html Wed, 16 May 2012 03:21:28 GMT Hello everyone!

My name is Charlie, everyone calls me Char, hence the handle. So I joined the ranks of the VFR world by trading up from a 2003 ktm 300 2 stroke with a street legal plate, for a 2004 asphalt black Interceptor! This is my first jump into the world of sport touring motorcycles, and honestly its love at 7500 rpm! The VFR is such a unique bike, I have had people ask me if its Italian despite the giant Honda wings on the tank. Then of course you have those crotch rocketeers that make fun of you for having hard bags on a "ROCKET". So far the first 1000 miles I have owned the bike have been great, its such a universal street machine. I was kinda spoiled into the two wheeled world, first having access to a amazing KTM 950 ADVENTURE, that has seen every state almost twice, then a 95 Harley sportster, which completely was the worst motor cycle I have ever graced. I have not had many miles on the pegs, but I do plan to change that this season now that I have truly capable bike. I am local to the metro Detroit area and would love to hear from fellow vfr enthusiasts in general.

just a few randoms, most of my riding time has been of the pavement with some pretty neat bikes.
