MarantzManiac 80 Posted July 16, 2014 Just picked up a cherry 99' VFR800fi with 6800 virgin miles and a couple goodies, new VFRness stator / regulator, Remus exhaust, Michelin SP3's etc. Let go of my 95' VFR750 back in 2000 for a BlackBird then a R1 - what was I thinking??? I'm happy to be back in the saddle enjoying the sweet VFR music again :-) and she's a keeper this time! OMG what happened to all my dark hair? lol The inspection guy thought she was new... ain't she pretty for 15 years old?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terry 517 Posted July 16, 2014 "OMG what happened to all my dark hair? lol" That's what comes of riding non VFRs for 14 years. I'm sure it'll all come back in no time. Sweet ride, man! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaxSwell 1026 Posted July 16, 2014 Welcome back to the asylum. Still as crazy as always, perhaps even crazier now that you've returned. Nice bike; best gen, fastest color. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raoufhakam 37 Posted July 17, 2014 Weclome Abroad! aside from having the fastest color (Red), the only thing i'm envying on ur VFR compared to mine, is the crystal clear OEM windscreen, mine is so yellow it seems that the PO's been pissing on it everyday for the past 14 years!! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarantzManiac 80 Posted July 17, 2014 First, I'd like to thank everyone for the warm welcome back Truly enjoying the Viffer! Some minor improvements planned.... - stock headlight brightness is just alright, ordered Osram Nite breakers - Ram mount Garmin Montana GPS install (pics to follow) - new Emgo mirrors, not a fan of the condoms lol - ZG Dark Smoke SR Series windscreen (the dash plastic shows minor melting in top left corner WTF?) The wealth of information in this site is truly wonderful and my work productivity is going way down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TNRabbit 107 Posted July 17, 2014 (the dash plastic shows minor melting in top left corner WTF?? I have the same issue......wonder if there's not something that runs hot inside the instrument panel......failing bulb, perhaps? When my R/R was going out, it was allowing voltage spikes of 20+ VDC & burning headlight bulbs. I suppose the same thing was happening to the instrument bulbs, too because 3 of the 5 were burned out.

MarantzManiac 80 Posted July 17, 2014 I thought perhaps the bike was left in direct sun and clear windscreen didn't protect panel? It doesn't appear the bike with only 6k miles had electrical gremlins but anything is possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't appear the bike with only 6k miles had electrical gremlins but anything is possible. Time, more than miles, seems to be the telling indicator of electrical issues with this bike. Search "The Drill" & conduct a thorough exam of your bike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
