Indeed CC, it was just a test ride guys. But if you own a VFR800, this bike has a health warning attached....this bike is dangerous to your bank balance! Everything the Vtec should have been from the start with some nice modern goodies thrown in. The perfect VFR? -

I've had O2 eliminators on my 08 for a couple of years now. No PC fitted, no other engine mods and I do believe it makes the bike run better at low revs. Mind you, so does a good SV balance. And it's a very subjective assessment. I'm going to try the ignition ON/OFF/ON thing mentioned above and see if that makes a difference to the quiet spot ~5krpm. Tried it, twice, this morning, before & after refuel on the way to work (35 miles, town & highway). Whilst I'm not 100% convinced yet I'm pretty sure there is less of a "lack of drive" from 4500-6000-ish rpm. Certainly in 6th gear, the roll on from ~5krpm feels smoother and more linear. Surely it can't be that easy? I'm going to carry on trying this for a few more days then revert back to normal start procedure and see if I can spot a difference.

Now that the weather has improved, the 6th Gen is getting a lot of miles put on it and I am very happy to report that the brakes are awesome. Thanks for taking the time to complete that DiY guide, it's brilliant. -
Better in black! ;-) -
I imagine that bike sounds rather nice. -
Since you ask the question....in an ideal world, you should perhaps have been a few feet further right (from photographers perspective), in order to get a fuller view through the right-hander. That would have enabled you to get on throttle much earlier because you had a better view of the exit. But none of us get every corner right, and there's nothing bad in what you do there. Looks like a pleasant road...decent tarmac, interesting views. Perhaps one day I'll get to ride that road. Ride safe. -
How are you weathering the storms over there? All done & dusted now thanks. 4 deaths however, mainly from fallen trees.

Huge thanks jay-d; yesterday I completed a full bleed of the whole system on my '08 ABS. Used conventional method and it worked a treat. Brakes feel nice & tight but will have to wait until the winds drop below 80mph before trying her out. Excellent "How To".

Looks fantastic. The retro paintjob really works. -
Absolutely love the paintjob! -
Ahhhh, Applecross. Great pub, nice rooms and a huge breakfast. Perfect biker country. -
Link no workee -
I've stopped doing that now since I saw a guy slide off 3 times before he got to the end of the road outside our house. -
A m8 of mine on another site had this done over here. I'd need to ask him how it went though. I have a feeling he changed it back to stock operation.

21 bikes, beautiful weather and fantastic Norfolk (UK) roads. Great fish 'n' chips by the seaside.
