I own a 5th Gen and have ridden both 4th & 5th. To me the 4th gen feels a little narrower, and handles just as well as the 5th. It may even...
jealousy can do this as well! I love this paint scheme and the new 25th anniversary as well. If I ever were to update to 6th gen (no point...
Do a search in this forum on that word "cutting". I had a similar problem 2 years ago and it turned out to be a broken wire on the ECM that was...
My 99 anniversary model is still running its original regulator and battery. The bike is plated as 02/99 so that means the battery is over 8...
Could not agree more with the above - and it has taken this far into the thread for someone to say this. The weight difference between the two...
Read all the posts in this forum with a similar thread title. My 99 VFR had similar symptoms and I checked every sensor on the bike before I...
I have a 99 model and my brother in law has a 01 model. We often ride together and his bike regularly shows 4 - 5 degrees Celsius higher than...

Changed my back pads at 32,000km. This is the first bike I have ever had to change rear brake pads/shoes. Must be the linked brakes. There is...
After 4 years and 40,0000km I crashed the VFR yesterday - gravel on a blind corner. As it was slightly downhill, the bike slid for 40metres on...
I certainly do not need any more HP. I have had mine up to 230kph on the road and was unwilling to give it any more. There seemed still some...
Hi Linda, I understand now that your bike was new in 2001. The earlier bikes are better in my view as they do not have the catalytic converters...
Don't skimp on front tyres. My last front still looked to have some life in the tread - but the tyre was shot and had made the handiing poor. I...
Hi Linda, Where are you from? I understood the anniversary models were all 1999 and did not go to North America. Mine was built 2/99 - I live...
I have a Haynes, my brother in law has a Clymer. Both seem very good.
Have you ridden this bike much?? Especially on secondary or back roads?? that is when you appreciate the VFR. Also compae the build quality to...
