For sale is my Italian Red 2003 Honda VFR800 Interceptor with ABS. It has 26,989 miles on it. I am the second owner. I bought it in the fall of 2008 with 9,000 miles on it from a friend of a friend. There are tons of upgrades listed below. I am selling it because after having kids I just don't ride it enough any more (both a time and risk concern thing) and after moving to Savannah there just aren't many places that are all that fun for me to ride it (flat and straight everywhere). The front and rear suspension was fully custom rebuilt and upgraded by Jamie Daugherty of Daugherty Motorsports of Fort Wayne, IN in 2011. The set up is a huge improvement over the stock set up for just about any rider and is the perfect set up for a 235-265 lb rider. The front and rear suspension upgrades were new front fork springs, fork compression valving, fork rebound valving, fork seals and rear shock spring and valving. The technical spec on the set up are: Front Forks - c36 r19 1.0mm 5wt 1.0 kg/mm Rear Shock - cH10 rH68 1.0mm 10wt 1250 lb/in Recommended sag is front 30mm +/-5mm and rear 35mm +/-5mm Laser X-treme Exhaust Galfer full SS braided brake line kit (Yellow) Throttlemeister K&N Air Filter Adjustable Brake/Clutch Levers (gold Pazzo style knock offs) Motovation frame sliders Speedohealer VFRness Signal Dynamics Diamond Star head light modulator Signal Dynamics Back Off XP tail light modulator Lobstenders Kanadien Ken's Fender Eliminator Kit Auxiliary Power Outlet installed front left of the tank. It is direct wired to battery to allow quick and easy trickle charging. Will include trickle charger. I will also include a magnetic tank bag that has Luggage Electronix Connectors that allow you to connect it to the auxiliary power outlet and charge things in the tank bag, The bike has been dropped twice and went low speed into a ditch once in 2010. This is why there is cosmetic damage like scuffs and scratches on the fairings. There was no serious damage from the ditch off roading incident. I replaced the clutch cover and the brake lever. It has run just fine ever since and I have done multi day road trips on it since. The tank has some pock marked chips in the paint on the side from where someone decided to spray gravel everywhere as they left a venue before I ever bought the bike. The bike has a fresh full synthetic oil change and filter. It also has a new fuel pump/filter assembly and a one year old battery. There is plenty of tread on a relatively new the Pilot Road 2 rear tire but the PR2 front tire will probably need replacement within a 500-1000 miles. I am just outside of Savannah, GA and have a clear title in hand. Willing to meet you within reason. I have a motorcycle ramp if you have a trailer or truck. I have two additional upgraded items that I am willing to include with the bike for an additional price: Corbin Gunfighter Seat with Lady Back Rest (all black). The seat shows some surface wear but no holes or tearing. Givi V35 side cases (Black) with quick release PLXR-166 rack, all hardware, and internal luggage bags. (not currently installed) If you want these items we can discuss adding it to the final price. If not I will sell separately.

Just as a final follow up, replacing the fuel pump has fixed all issues. The bike is running great again. Thanks everyone for the help.

There was no issue with the fuel pump prior to disassembly and cleaning of the tank. It did sit dry for a few months. Not sure if that seized it up. I will check the internal connections with an ohmmeter before I buy a new one. That’s a prudent idea.

Thanks. That’s what I thought. Any recommendations on an aftermarket brand? I’m not seeing just the OEM fuel pump available and the entire OEM fuel pump assembly is $375 on bike bandit.

Grum, thanks for your reply. I was incorrect about the voltage. I checked again and it was 12-12.5 volts at the fuel pump connection for about 2 seconds when the key is turned. I attached leads direct from the battery straight to the fuel pump and got no priming whir. Any further ideas?

My 03 6th gen had been sitting for several months so I decided to pump and clean out the tank really good. I took the fuel pump assembly and tip over kill switch out and cleaned out the tank really good. Then it sat disassembled for several weeks since I had to order some new rubber internal parts that broke when I took everything apart. I’ve got it all back together and the engine turns over just fine but won’t start. I can’t get the pump to prime (No whirring noise). I get the relay click when I turn the key. I’ve had the wiring harness recall but still checked the left side blue connector and don’t see any corrosion. I pulled off the wire connector to the fuel pump and am getting 14-16 volts for about two seconds after I turn the key and the it drops to zero like it should. Any ideas? If the blue connector was corroded or relay was bad I’m thinking I wouldn’t be getting the 15 volts at the fuel pump harness. I saw on an older fuel pump issue post where someone mentioned getting the fuel pump “unstuck” and the person with the problem replied back that it fixed the issue but there were no details on how one goes about getting the fuel pump “unstuck”. Can anyone give me some guidance on what I should try in that regard? Thanks.

When I travel I usually take my 10 inch Asus netbook. It's small (not much bigger than a tablet), lightweight, and does everything I want it to do when I'm traveling. It also gets a solid 7wood hours ofto moderate useto on one charge and has way more hard drive space than a tablet for pics and photos. I also have an Android smart phone. I also carry a Dan Wesson 1911 Commander Bobtail in 10mm and/or a S&W 340PD airlite snubby revolver in .357 mag. The 10mm offers excellent intermediate barrier penetration for things like automotive glass and sheet metal.

I'm sitting in the hotel lounge here in Bucharest smoking a cigar and missing y'all and all the VFRD goodness that is TMAC. I wish I was in Franklin smoking my cigar with y'all. I can't believe I got the bike all spiffied up with an upgraded suspension, SS brake lines, and Lazer exhaust and then I miss the next TMAC! Y'all post up some pics here tonight, drink a margherita from the two stroke blender, and don't let Timmy sneak around beind you.

The closer this gets the more I hate that I missing this year. I'll be in Bucharest, Romania next weekend for work and probably checking VFRD all the freaking time seeing how much fun y'all are having and wishing I was there. Jeez, this is killing me!

Another option would be to run up the BRP to Mt. Mitchell. 1. NC28 North 2. US19 North 3. US441 North 4. Blue Ridge Parkway North 115 miles to Mt Mitchell State Park at BRP mile marker 355. 5. Reverse route to come back. For a faster return route you could hop on I-40 West in Asheville and then come down US74 and then US441. Total route length about 320 miles if you do the southern end of the BRP each direction. Mt Mitchell State Park has a pretty decent restaurant to eat at and you can take a short trail hike to the summit to reach the highest point east of the Mississippi. I know my suggested routes aren't too novel. There are some other routes I have had recommended to me but since I haven't had a chance to try them out I don't want to list them since road surfaces may suck or fun factor may be over hyped.

Here's a route different than I've ever done at TMAC. 1. NC28 to Deals Gap 2. US129/TOTD 3. North on the Foothills Pkwy 4. Right on TN73/Lamar Alexander 5. Left on Little River Rd/Old TN73 6. South US441 over the Smokies to Cherokee (a short detour could be taken a few miles north first for a stop into Gatlinburg if the group wants) 7. Then US441 south to Franklin (if group is tired and doesn't want to end technical or is behind schedule and needs higher speed) or you could go south on the Smokey Mountain Pkwy and then back to Franklin on NC28 for more tight twisties. Total length about 190 miles if I remember right. I did a route kinda like this one last August one day. We were staying in Cherokee instead of Franklin and we also went over and back on the Dragon and then did over and back on the Cherohala before heading back up US129 to the Foothills Pkwy. Did a big late dinner in Gatlinburg. Ended up riding over the Smokies on US441 in the pitch black in torrential rain and lightning. I had the pleasure of doing it in mesh gear. It was an experience. US441 is a very scenic twisty ride over the Smokies. Can be a little crowded with cars on Saturdays so this would probably be a better route on Friday. Lots of good spots for beginner/scenic groups to pull off and rest on this route.

Damn. So many awesome memories at that place. One thing I thought that was great about it was how many chairs they had outside the rooms. Most hotels would only have a handful at best. They had dozens. Since we're all on bikes bringing chairs is hard. Those chairs all outside the rooms is what I thought made it so ideal for hanging out and talking all night in the parking lot.

One more vote for the throttlemeister. I love mine.
