Where's the popcorn? 😆

Indeed. I called the police as it's a 60mph limit there and she has no protection, but that wasn't why I posted it, it was to show you the difference in number plates and much more easily they seem to stand out on a camera.

My previous helmetcam was great for reading plates even in the dark. I wonder whether it's the design of US plates with their lack of contrast that causes the issues. Woman & Baby.mp4

Great. And of course my fuel tank is full from over-winter storage 🙄

Hi. No, I've not had time yet and won't for a little while. There's no rush though, she won't be back on the road until April. Please let us know how you get on with your mates bike.

Very conventional

It's ok guys, rant away, maybe some young rider will read it and make them think a bit more when they're out on the road. I commute >100 miles per day, both bike and car and the idiocy and total lack of understanding or awareness that I see daily is frankly frightening. Indicators are rarely used, cars & vans are happy to pull out into my lane irrespective of closure speed, they hog the outside or 2nd/3rd lane (we can only overtake on the outside/right over here) and they're supposed to keep into the most LH lane when possible etc etc. I have decided to buy the Viofo MT1 and managed to get a 5% discount from the UK importer (I shan't spend the savings all at once! 😏) and fit to my Crossrunner for my commute. May consider another for the VFR1200 if this one works out well.

What, blow with my lips? 🤔

I did check everything you say when I had the tank off after I bought her and everything was like new. None of the gubbins beneath the injectors has been removed or disconnected so an air leak is a difficult one to imagine.

IF it is the wax idle unit, is it possible to just replace the inner bit (part 17) or do you have to buy the whole lot (17 & 18) and the washers?

Me either, it's all Honda magic to me. They should last but I wonder if the history of the bike with so much time doing nothing has led to an issue with it.

Good morning all. My 01 has been sat in the garage since last Sep and I've just completed the annual oil & filter change. Started the bike up to let the oil warm up and pass through the filter so I could top it up accurately. Idle was around 2k rpm, which I guess is about right since it needs to warm up??? Then, as the temp gauge hit 70° C (158° F), the idle increases to a steady 3k rpm and wont reduce. Moving the bars makes no difference so the throttle cables are not snagging, I've tried to reduce the idle by turning the idle screw but that makes no difference, the throttle has the requisite slack on the cables so I'm thinking wax idle unit??? Before I purchased it, the bike spent the last 6 years not moving and over the previous 10 years only competed 400 miles. I have yet to lift the tank to check the throttle cables, SVs and idle screw but before I do that, I thought I'd ask the knowledgeable folk on here for their thoughts. When I last rode it, I had fitted new Iridium spark plugs, deleted the PAIR setup, balanced the SVs, new air filter and it was running beautifully. It's been stored in the garage over winter on a trickle charger with a full fuel tank topped up with fuel stabiliser. Any thoughts welcome please.

Other than an interesting colour scheme 🤢 I can't see anything to suggest it's a special.

Shame you didn't get the Crossrunner instead but we'll let you off. Please post some pics when you finally get her.

Ah ok. It is only surface crud as they are SS and should polish up. You can fit O2 eliminators and I cut the cat out on my old 98 when I fitted a set of 01 downpipes to it many years ago. However, I do get what yr trying you do so please let us know how you get on with it. I fitted the GPR about a year ago. My 01 is an April - September bike. I bought her very low mileage (<9k) and spent a few £ sparkling her up and now she's a keeper. Story here.

Can't answer most but why swap downpipes? 01 downpipes are SS. I have a single GPR which is excellent. Looks and sounds good and easily fitted.

Agree with you both. They're huddled in their safe, soundproof cage, oblivious to everything except that which they may collide with in a couple of seconds and so react late, don't bother with indicators, pull out even if that involves you having to slow down a lot, utterly selfish and self-absorbed and don't give a damn about any other road user. Rant over! 😆

Hi m8. Depending on whether your model was a 2002-2006 or 2006+ , this may help. It's usual to introduce yourself and your bike in the forum of your bike model too. Hope you find what you need.

I commute 100+ miles a day, usually on the bike. Every day I have morons who forget they have mirrors or indicators, have no lane discipline, believe tailgating is perfectly safe etc etc etc so yes, a bit of corroboration wouldn't go amiss and we're also thinking of riding to northern Italy this summer.

Annual service whilst she is off the road fir the winter. Plus fit new levers and a replacement binnacle as the PO made a huge scratch in this one

Hi all, looking for folk with bike dashcam experience for recommendations. I want both front & rear cameras, unsure whether 4k UHD is worth the extra, loop recording and bike-powered. So far I've looked at Innovv & Viofo MT1 which is higher spec than the Innov (170 deg fov vs 120 deg) but is Chinese in origin (Innovv may be, I don't know) and I'm uncomfortable with purchasing from China. Any others worth considering? Any experiences good or bad? Thanks.

Phone spoolchucker 😆

My point was that VFR800X IS a VFR, the clue being in the name.

Intercepter being a US designation, I don't think any other country used it.

Excellent work, thank you. I'd love to hang one on the wall of my garage too but it doesn't include the VFR800X. I know it was never sold in the US but there are plenty of owners outside the US. Such a shame to have an incomplete picture, any chance of including it?
