new owner 3rd gen

okay,got the bike home....no owners manual...a million questions...easy one first...how do i get the seat off?...91 model

 

Welcome to the world. If memory serves me its seat latch was connected to the helmet lock key. That parts bee long ago modded off the Gen 3 in my garage.

 

right side there is a key hoe where you passenger foot rest is located. how many miles on ur bike?

 

it will hit 15k on my next ride....its nice.i have other bikes but have always wanted a vfr so ill try it out....maybe keep it...maybe sell it

 

So. A roughly 19 year old bike with ony 15,000 miles on it? What did the previous owner do in his spare time, plant pansies? That my friend is still a brand new bike. FYI, there is a manual in PDF farmat somewhere on this forum if you soend a little time using the search engine.

I took a vote just now involving everyone in my kitchen. I all agreed you need to post some pix. For all I know, you could have a 92!

 

ive already put up a couple but here you go

 

these pics were taken before i brought it home in the sellers yard....ive removed all the tacky stickers and begun washing off the barn grime....more later....some damage but the motor purrs and its all there....getting a new front tire today

 

Welcome to the 3rd Gen club.....I bought my '93 last year with only 17K on it....love it!!!!

 

yeh great bike, great generation, I think they really had the pressure on them when they designed it after the cam disasters with the earlier models. Solid solid bike, my 92 is gona hit 75,000 and I have owned it since 1995. I bought it with 4,000 clams. I ride it fast on the expressway and go by much new machines, kinda makes me laugh in my lid. Well cheers.

 

To get the seat off put the key in the helmet lock and turn, then pull the little lever that is attached andpull. it helps if you put a little pressure on the back of the seat ..takes some pressure off latch.. nice bike......love the Gen 3.

 

I like it! I have a real soft spot for the older VFRs.

 

blackboyd, here is the link to the pdf version of a manual for the 1990-1996 VFR. Hope that this helps.

Looks like you're missing the left side "wing" near the gear selector lever. Also the kickstand cover. Love my 90 with just under 20K miles. Blow past many other bikes and people never guess it's a 90, most think 2000's.

HONDA VFR750 1990-93, VFR 750 fairings, bodywork, fairing, upper, lower, mid, seat side, race, street, fender, tail, undertail, tank

You can get the fairing parts here, not sure about the kickstand cover, I just got mine from a wrecked bike. Good luck with yours.
