Q: What’s up with all the plastichrome (plastic coated with chrome) on the bike?
A: Honda uses it to reduce the weight of the Fury and keep costs down as well. It has been proven that this material will last for awhile, so don’t worry about it instantly breaking and falling apart on you, it won’t happen. Try to choose a cleaner that is also a polish; make sure to read the warning label on the cleaner before proceeding. Suggestion, original Bike Spirits is what most dealers use to clean the bikes on the showroom floor; you should give that a try first. Check out this thread as well for other ideas: http://www.furyforums.com/forum/fury-appearance/3549-cleaning-plastichrome.html?highlight=plastichrome
Q: New to motorcycles, is the Fury a good choice for me?
A: Depends on your general tastes in motorcycles. Honda is a good, reputable brand that builds rock solid engines for their motorcycles, after that is comes down to personal choices. The Fury has won several awards already in the first year, either at dealership conventions or at MC ran events, it is not a bad choice for the price.
Q: I am x’x feet tall (32++ inseam) and the stock pegs are a little close, is there anything that can be done to allow me to drive the Fury?
A: Yes, there are forward extended controllers that you can purchase for the bike that will allow you stretch out your legs a little further than the stock position. There are several manufacturers for forward controls, most notable are Accutronix: http://www.furyforums.com/forum/fury-tech-performance-chat/3675-accutronix-3-forward.html and Supreme Legend: Forward control classic round w / rubber chrome - standard - fitment: vtx 1300 and LREXTREME: [email protected]. More entries would be www.DLXprodox.com and a few other websites. There is also the swing wing pegs, which can also work as highway pegs without ruining the down tubes on the bike, please refer to this post for comments on those pegs: http://www.furyforums.com/forum/fury-appearance/2636-swingwing-pegs-kury.html and RAW makes an adjustable offering as well: http://www.metricfats.com/category-s/69.htm
Q: What is the top speed of the bike and how do I make it go faster?
A: Let it be stated, you are riding a chopper. Okay, 100mph is the limit and there is a speed governor put on there that is in the bike's electronic chip (programming) and would need to be electronically reprogrammed to go faster. The governor is probably put on there because of the small radius of the front tire and is more for safety (an H rated, 130mph smaller radius front tire). Currently there is no known mod to go faster, other than a bigger back tire. Has to be said in advance, please do not ask the forum how to get the bike to go faster, we are tired of this question.
Q: Why can't I go past 42 mph in first gear and 60 in second gear?
A: There is a rev limiter on the bike, it is put on there to protect the engine. This is a chopper, not a racing bike. Suggestion, try starting out in second gear if you do not want to shift out that fast... Here is a mini-guide on the limits of each gear: http://www.furyforums.com/forum/8614-post11.html
Q: When is the first service due and how much should I expect to pay?
A1: First service is due at 600-1000 miles and should be done in that general mileage area. This is an important service as many dealers view this as something that deals with your warranty. Make sure you get at least this first time service as the dealer makes sure that your valves are adjusted correctly. Make sure this get's done if they charge you anything over 150$!
A2: The price will vary from area to area, some dealers will offer the valve adjustment at no extra charge, but do not expect it. The price ranges anywhere from 140$ to 380$+ in certain areas, so shop around if you can.
A3: Here is a link to the service manual pages so you can adjust the valve yourself if you have the mechanical knowledge to do so: http://www.furyforums.com/forum/fury-tech-performance-chat/1425-initial-service.html#post62332
Q: What are the intervals that I should perform maintenance on the Fury?
A: Refer to your owner's manual, page 67 & 68. http://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/assets/OWNERLINK/Model/own_man/powersports/motorcycle/2010/Fury.pdf
Q: What are the torque values for the Fury?
A: Refer to your Honda Fury Manual, there are several torque values located in the manual, do a search for "Torque" to find basic values for common items: http://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/assets/OWNERLINK/Model/own_man/powersports/motorcycle/2010/Fury.pdf
Q: Will mothers chrome polish hurt the plastichrome?
A: NO, but the cleaner has abrasives in it that could cause scratching after awhile. Also the same with Turtle Wax Chrome Polish, this cleaner can potentially scratch any type of future mod that you have that is not completely metal, such as the chromed fiberglass L&M air filter adapter.
Q: Will customizing the Fury void my warranty?
A: Every bike dealer is different; most don’t mind the minor customizing of the bike and actually support it. Some dealers will not help a customer after they start customizing certain parts, such as the engine, pipes, radiator and anything that makes the bike go basically. So, check with your local dealer about their warranty policies, both front door and back door policies to find out more.
Q: My bike is making a weird noise (ticking) from the engine area? What should I do?
A: If it’s coming from the engine area, could be the forward cover on top (loosened screw). Could also be your keys, the tool kit or internally the fuel injectors. Try to tighten the cover to alleviate the noises. Refer to gas FAQ for other answer.
Q: What is the best way to navigate FuryForums.com?
A: Active Topics or New Posts tabs at the top of the forum, under the banner.
Q: On the front of your motor,above the exhaust port, is there a small hole with threads or is there something there, it looks like something is missing, can you explain this hole?
A: The VTX and the Fury use the same heads. On a VTX there would be a hanger mount bolted there, the Fury does not use that hanger bracket, so the hole is empty.
