Yesssss i agree...

I agree, its a very good bike. But 40 kg less and a better fuel economy should make it perfect.

Please remove the black. The gear position sensor or de secundairy gearbox axis sensor is faulty. And yes count the fashes a long one is 10 a short one = count so 1 long and 3 short ones is MIL 13. ( for example ) Tell me the code and will look the error up in de maintainance manual.

He Dae did Honda help you with the shaft issue ?

I run S20 in front and a T30 rear. A good combination. With the S20 the steering is much quicker.

I will try a pair of Bridstone T30 tires. I will post my experiences with this tyres.

On a VFR1200 are no splines to be lubricated. The manual say change the final drive oil every 24000 km. I have done that simple. Do it more often is a waste of money and time.

I have fitted an ohlins shock en cartriges. Best money spended ever. The dealer flashed the ecu. I have updated the firmware of the PC-v and put some new maps in it. The VFR1200 is more fuel efficient now. from 13,5 km/L to 15km/l I have fitted S20 tires on the bike. Makes the steering much quik. Rear tire S20 is wearing too fast so gone fit a Bt016 pro on the rear. So what is the best mod: 1st beter quality suspension espessialy when riding fast on twisty roads. 2nd ecu update in combination with new maps 3rd Akrapovic exhaust for more grunt and a beter sound 4th removal of the 1st and 2nd gear restrictions.

Some progression ?

First figure out why the bearing did go out . Is there an obstruction in one of the main oil bearing supply chanals ? Clean the engine very very good !!! Use new conrod bolts !!

Fotodadi i hope Honda will supply you a new engine. Good luck.

Just a reminder :)

Yes you are right. Speed is measured with a zumo 350 GPS.

I have removed the limiter, it does 270 km/h

I have checked the valve clearances myself @ 26000 km. All the valves where in spec but some intake valve where a bit tighter. So i would suggest forget the 26000km check but do check @ 52000 km ( 32000 mi ) If you revit high all the time check the valves.
