vfr_steve Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Hi all, I think I'm in love, here is my 08 VFR that I bought with only 10k miles for under 4k, with dealer services 2 months ago (since then I've covered over 2000 miles) I thought I'd post up some pics of my new ride showing some of the wonderful English countryside. I've had MANY Viffers over the years, this is my newest yet and it feels like it's dripping in quality and refinement, plus that VTEC engagement is so much nicer on the later models (although my next upgrade is a PC 5). To whoever designed the 6th gen VFR at Honda, I want to buy you a pint! :D Cheers! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted September 24, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hi, welcome to the site. Very nice looking bike and will last you for years with good maintenance. Not sure why you want a PC for it??? There are some very cheap & easy things you can do to make the fuelling smoother....certainly worked on my 08. But she's yours and you can fettle her any way you want. Best of luck with her!

vfr_steve Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 Cheers Skids! I have done the pair valve/flapper mod and put in some 02 eliminators but I'm still getting a snatchy throttle at low revs - I've been told by many that a PC 3 or 5 will cure this issue along with making the bike even smoother. Nice ride by the way, the VFR12 might be my next bike :) Cheers! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Skids Posted September 24, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 24, 2016 No worries m8. I assume then that you've balanced the SVs too so maybe it really is mileage that settles the fuelling down; mine's pretty good with the same mods but has 72k on the clock now. And if you tell me you live very close to where you took the photos, I'll be well pissed off! We're coming up your way this morning; heading to a friends birthday near Gainsborough. Taking the 1200 of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFRMAN Posted September 24, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted September 24, 2016 Beautiful bike,best of luck with her, going to have to take a spin on a late model 6th gen at some stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfr_steve Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 It's funny you say that Skids as I can already feel a difference from 10k to 13k miles, the bike seems much smoother and less snatchy? How is this possible? I'm still going to try a PC 3 or 5 as I've always been curious to see the effects (if any) - If I end up not noticing much difference I'll just sell the unit. I live near Lincoln actually, it's usually only about an hours run from where I live to Derbyshire, although to get there I usually have to slab it a bit up the A1 or go through the centre of Sheffield to get to Glossop. I regularly ride around Gainsborough area though as I have some friends up that way - I wouldn't want to live there though, it's a bit rough! :) Cheers Saoirse32 (tricky name to spell!) - It's worth a go mate, nice green 5th gen by the way - I had one just like it and put about 50k miles on it, loved it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanPorter Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 SnapNot long had my '58 plate with similar mileageIt's my first one so nothing to compare it to coming from a BMW GS but loving it so farMy usual playground is the Peak District too (live in Derby) so probably see you around some time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfr_steve Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hey Ian very nice! I love the colour as it's different and turns heads, one person said it looks like it's been cut from the same piece of aluminium - Just gorgeous. If you ever want a play in the hill give me a shout, we could always meet up around Derbyshire :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanPorter Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 it looks like it's been cut from the same piece of aluminium Someone said that to me too - on the FB group I think Catch you around sometime The Yondermann cafe is always a favourite stop of our when we're up that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
