joecbr Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I just received the service manual for the 2014/15 VFR 800. If anyone needs info let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer thtanner Posted July 11, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 11, 2017 I am doing the first service next week. Pages covering oil change would be great. I mean, it's not exactly rocket science with the new fairing setup. I just wanted to follow their procedure to the "T" when performing the scheduled maintenance while under warranty. If there is a section covering steering bearing inspection, that'd be nice too, but I just assume they grab the bars and shake violently to see if there's any play. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer fink Posted July 12, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 12, 2017 If you download the Honda common service manual it will tell you how it's done. Available from various sites for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecbr Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 This is just a test. Much easier to take a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecbr Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Steering - more testing. Need to rig something up to flatten the pages before taking picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer thtanner Posted July 12, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 12, 2017 Those came out great for me. Everything I need.I can crop/rotate them if needed. Thank you! 7 hours ago, fink said: If you download the Honda common service manual it will tell you how it's done. Available from various sites for free. That manual is new to me, but totally makes sense why it exists. Means a shop doesn't have to keep a copy of every detailed factory manual for basic service items. Time to find a 2014+ version of that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tews19 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Does it state what all needs to be done for the 600 mile tuneup. If so, is it worth the 200$ shop fee or can I do it myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a fantastic manual full of helpful explanations etc., but it is not model specific, making it of very limited value when you need specifics.

It's basically oil change + check torque on critical bolts and verify steering head bearings didn't seat and cause looseness. I'm not taking mine to a dealer. I don't trust them to do it much of anything right, to be honest. (edit: manufacturers need to understand there's a major perception issue with dealer service departments. They should address it by forcing stricter standards and quality control.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer thtanner Posted July 12, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 12, 2017 I can host the full thing for you no matter what the size. Didn't know the forum had a limit. If interested send me a PM and I'll give you a FTP to upload to. We can re-link it here. I also can optimize the PDF and maybe reduce some of the size.

I bought mine from a fellow rider in the classifieds, got a slightly used factory manual for $25 so if you get lucky you can snag one cheap. IMO the pictures leave alot to be desired for a factory manual, could be more detailed etc , but it's better than using an online manual . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspanglish Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Sorry but I can only see the owner's manual for the 2014 vfr800f in the downloads section not the service manual or workshop manual as it's sometimes called Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
