All 22- PR3 Review I was on the fence about changing tires. I had a few millimeters of tread before the rear was at the wear bars and the front had just bit of cupping. But a dealer had a special on tires so I pulled the trigger a bit…

- Temp Switch gone bad. Engine knocks 2007 VFR800: A couple of times last year the coolant temp shot up to about 225F without the fan coming on. I got stuck at the tolls once and the temp went to about 260 before I could safely get of the road (no boil…

- Two Day Trip Suggestions for New England For the fist time in years I have the time to get out for some overnighters. Boston's North Shore is the launching point. I have been pouring over Google maps for ride routes and I am looking for something different…
- At a crossroads I too say if you can't ride relaxed and enjoy it, hang it up for awhile . Something else to consider on the long term care issue. Make sure you have a signed health care proxy filled out and that your wishes are…
- 4th oil change, looking sketchy? (metal chunks) I am guessing if you had chucks like that in your oil the the motor would be making all kinds of bad noises...if it ran at all. You could cut open the old filter and look at that. I am with the road crap falling out of…
- Newbie sprocket question [image: View Post]46alpha, on 17 September 2010 - 09:01 PM, said: Stock chain will fit fine. The problem will be finding a +2 rear. Sprocket Center seems to be the only place that has them, but far too many here have…

- Sprocket Trouble [image: View Post]FJ12Ryder, on 17 July 2010 - 06:05 PM, said: I don't want to pay good money and then have jury rig something to make it work. Having to grind washers just won't cut it for me. If it takes a beveled…
- Sprocket Trouble I too just ran into this problem. I just ground a flat beveled edge on the washers. Only a few mm, just enough to clearance the bevel on the flange. I held the washer with pliers and ground the edge at an angle on the…
- Love and Hate of the VFR [image: View Post]EmeraldVFR, on 22 December 2009 - 11:36 PM, said: The sport-touring crowd doesn't like it because the VFR doesn't tour as well as their FJR1300, Connie, etc. (which, technically, is true.) "Real" sport…
- Love and Hate of the VFR [image: View Post]skuuter trash, on 22 December 2009 - 05:15 PM, said: ..not too many really bad Motorcycles left on the market, regardless of Brand..... :fing02: :beer: Great point!
- Love and Hate of the VFR I have noticed a polarized opinion of VFR's in general. There is lots of praise for the 6th gen and older in the motoring press and plenty here who think the bike is the greatest thing on two wheels. Yet, I see much…

- Amber Signal Lens For 07 Well now that I know what is involved, I have shelved the idea. I was expecting a quick swap of oem parts. You know, 2 screws, pop off one lens, replace with a new one. NOT! I got enough half finished projects already…

- Amber Signal Lens For 07 I like the look of the amber/yellow turn signal lenses better than the clear my 07 came with. I did a search but cant find the answer. I believe the older 6 gen came with the colored lens. Looking for what years (if…
- Radiator Fan Did Not Come On...then It Did? This happened once before last year while at the same place and under the same conditions?! Both times it was approaching tolls on RT 95, both time in 90's, with miles of slow and stop and go traffic. Radiator fan did…
- What Size Dowco Cover To Buy I have an old beat up cover that needs replacing. It was on my CBR1000f. The cover is a bit tight to get on and off. Is this normal for the "right fit"? The Dowco site calls for the same cover for most sport bikes,…
- 07 Vibration Revisted I posted last year on a vibration problem. Its noticeable with the engine is running and gets worse while the bike is in motion. Still no solution. This all began after changing the oil and filter, adjusting the idle…
