Hello VFRD: Testing waters to see if there is any interest in my VFR. Purchased brand new and in excellent condition. Mods include: - Akropovic Exhaust as mentioned above - Genuine Honda Quick Shifter - Genuine Honda Carbon Tank Pad - R&G Grip Tank Traction Grips - R&G Frame Sliders/Crash Protectors - New Battery - Cell Phone Mount Oil changes conducted and all original parts included. Mileage is ~5,000 Shoot me a message if interested. **Mods, if this is a duplicate please delete.**

Thank you both!

Hi Everyone, Curious if the ABS is independent of the TC. In other words, if I turn off traction control, will ABS still be enabled? I believe they're separate but just making sure. Thank you!

Where did you get the tail tidy from?

Excellent. Perhaps, most of my rides are short these days thanks to the busyness of life. No outlet for a battery tender - hard times living out on LA :P

Wow thanks guys. Are you sure about this conversion? This battery is actually much cheaper. Also my battery is about 1 year old and having difficulty. Original yuasa battery.. bike moves at minimum once a week. Strange it would die so early.

What battery are you all running? Looks like mine is starting to fail at just one year. Do people generally stick to yuasa? I have run the cycle gear ones in the past that have died in 6 months. I see there are more options these days... Looking for recommendations. Thank you

Friends, What tire pressure are you all running? Manual says COLD tire should be 36 front and 42 rear. I deflated them a couple months ago for the track and just remembered I need to put air in them. That said, I'm curious what you all are running for normal commuting/spirited riding both cold and warm. Thanks!

All: Just wanted to let you know that I had purchased a new disc break lock: https://www.amazon.com/Master-Lock-Brake-Shackle-8303DPS/dp/B0009V1WR0 The unit's locking mechanism stopped working while locked on the bike. I don't mean it froze in place or anything strange happened, it simply stopped working. The lock would turn without actually releasing the pin. I was stuck for over a week until I had it sawed off. I called Master Lock and emailed them to no avail - they sell defective products and offer 0 support. Check other reviews throughout the net to see similar concerns. Overall - a shoddy company with no ethics. Giving you guys the heads up to avoid Master Lock at all costs.

Looking for some adjustability. Curious what you think of them. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/vortex-v3-20-clutch-lever

Mine is clearly riveted and so are the others that are affected in the recall notice. New ones are welded. I took a look at them in the shop - its an accurate statement as far as the samples I have seen.

FYI The old units had the nut riveted on. The new ones are welded which I've been told has alleviated the issue.

Received an email that the oil filter I installed on my bike is being recalled. More info here: https://www.knfilters.com/recallkn204?utm_source=emailblast&utm_medium=slice2&utm_campaign=email-november-17-kandn-oil-filter-recall Could apply to other VFR models as well: Mods - feel free to move the post accordingly.

Are you clutching it up or powering it up? I still havent had time to get out there and try it out.

I was talking more about speed launches. Yeah, I'm sure that TC isn't wheelie control but it must effect power wheelies and even clutch wheelies. If the computer is sensing disturbance to the power transfer and a slippage from the clutch, it makes sense for it to shut down the bike. I'd have to disagree that TC has nothing to do with wheelie control - the question is, how much does it have to do with it? One way to find out :P
