    i have been lurking for quite some time and finally decided to register. i have been researching bikes for awhile now and the one that really gets me jazzed is the vfr.

    most of my questions have been answered here, but one...i am currently riding a suzuki bandit 600s, and the fairing developed quite a buzz in the 5000 to 6000 rpm range. i pulled it apart and put rubber o-rings under all the fairing screws i could find and it worked for awhile. guess my question is does anyone get any fairing buzz with their vfr?

    as a second question, if i can't pull off the finances this year, is it likely that the vfr is up for a redesign for 2006? someone had mentioned that the vfr seems to change in certain year increments and that the 2006 might be the likely candidate...just wondering.

    thanks and thanks for all the great info that i have read already,
    julie...who longingly looks at the vfr daily on the website

    edit: to fix my dopey typos...guess i'm to quick on that post button! ;D

    None on mine, but it's a Gen 5. I've never heard of that particular problem with newer VFRs either tho... My old CBR600F3 used to buzz like crazy... I reckon it's because I-4s are inherently much buzzier than V4s. VFR engines are smooth - like buttah.


    HTH,

    thanks jake-i was beginning to think no one had anything to say about my question! ;D

    gen 5 represents what years? and what gen are the 2004 and 2005's for curiosity?

    thanks,
    julie
