Best seat ever. Originally bought a Corbin and returned it- like sitting on a concrete horse saddle. Love the color coordinated piping too. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I have a '98 as well- bought new. I have never gotten good has mileage but don't really care. It's a motorcycle and I ride it fast. I also weigh around 230 lbs. Last summer I did a mileage comparison between using the Power Commander and without (running non-ethanol 92 octane gas). The difference was small. The PC gave me a bit better gas mileage and certainly better fueling. The actual numbers are posted on this site. My only mods are the PC, K&N air filter, and a Vance & Hines titanium pipe. Ride and enjoy! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Here's a bit of information that hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread: the 5th Generation VFRs breath pretty heavily through their crankase ventilation system, which dumps the oily blowby gases into the bike's airbox. As a result of this the intake valves can end up with a good bit of carbon build-up on them. If you're going to take off the throttle body, for something like getting at and replacing the thermostat or to remove the injectors to send out for cleaning, you should look at the intake valves to see just how much carbon is stuck on them. Both of my two 5th Gen VFRs are low-mileage but both of them have a good bit of carbon build-up on the intake valves. I'm currently looking into various ways of cleaning them up. Another possible cause of fueling problems is a fuel pressure regulator that is beginning to fail.

Hi, air filter has been replaced, no dragging brakes, the bike works well but i never checked the fuel pressure regulator. I had some FI issues caused by bad connectors and/or ground connector. Now it' OK and i have also poured a whole can of injector cleaner in the tank. The gas mileage was always the same - never seen a real improvement. JZH, i live in Bari, South Italy. Quite far from the classic "motor valleys" in the North, but we have nice roads here too 🙂
