    VFR 800 opinions?

    If you are not scared, do the maintenance yourself, being in Canada we have enough winter months to try this lol Following what I read you can do a valve adjustment once or twice in the lifetime of the bike.

    Air Canada fined for no French

    Ok, to everybody complaining about Quebecer not speaking to you in English you have to learn a few thing here, about travelling: 1- Can you speak their language? No, so you CAN'T complain then if they can't speak your language! 2- It's an insult to go to somebody and not to talk a few of THEIR...

    chain adjustment on or off a stand?

    There's no difference if it's on it rear stand or side stand, if you own a VFR you have to tight it while on the CENTER stand, not side stand. Somebody that study this much more than any of us and which design the bike said it's the way to do it.

    Just before your bike go to the dealership they brek-in you engine, kick it up to the red line on the 6th gear, flush the oil, put new oil, and ask you to go slow for the first 1000km....if you "ride it like it's stolen" don't forget to change your oil earlier than the book says.

    Rate discrepancies between agents of the same company

    Also, make sure they don't quote your bike as "supersport" while it's a sport-touring bike. One Jevco broker quoted me with 8000$ for my VFR 800 2004 saying it's a supersport....I went with John r Duffy, they seem to really know what they're doing.
