Bad Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hello guys, im new to the forums and wanted to show you my 1998 Honda VFR 800 originally from USA. I bought it last year with 42k miles on it for a reasonable price. It came with few mods: CNC red eloxed grips and levers Black tinted wind screen chrome frame and rim lips rear seat cowl new brake rotors front and rear aftermarket chrome exhaust slip-on (no idea about the brand) As i didnt have any service history available from previous owner and the motorcycle was not in the best shape (from maintenance point of view), I basically had to do everything to make sure nothing is going to brake on me unexpectedly. During the first months I've done following: oil and oil filter change (Motul 5100 10w40) air filter change brake fluid change and brake system clean clutch fluid change clutch springs change new tires front and rear (Pirelli Angel ST) coolant change (Motul Motocool Expert) There were also few things I checked like for - like oil leaks, proper charging, chain tension...the usual stuff. After all this when we had first warm days in the spring I went for a ride and immediately fell in love with this bike - its sound and engine whine. And this is how she looks now: Is there a way to switch temperature units from °F to °C? That would really help me as Im not able to quickly convert those while riding and seeing numbers like 200 feels kinda wrong to me :) Thank you Bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loftust Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'm liking what you're doing here, and the bike looks excellent. Where is that road though? It looks like a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted February 3, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted February 3, 2017 Good preventative efforts there! No, I also don't believe you can change from F to C or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspanglish Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 On some models from someone countries it has been possible to go from empirical to metric by pressing and holding a button on the dash. In certain angles of light I could see the symbols on my 6th gen, so the hardware came set up but it just wouldn't switch the display over, not in the ECU's programming for Spain.
