Last 50 of 236- Hog Tie '15 Room Share Thread Also looks like I might have an extra bed as well.
- Hog Tie '15 Room Share Thread Debbie called me this morning, and I am not on the waiting list any longer as I have room reserved. I'm pretty sure Panamawing got a similar call since he would have been in front of me on the waiting list. See y'all in…
- Hog Tie '15 Room Share Thread I'm looking for a roomie. I'll be getting in Thursday evening sometime and will be leaving Sunday. I haven't made my reservation yet, but will by the Sep close-out.
- Group Dinner! I'm up for pitching in cash or a ride to the store to pick up whatever is still needed.
- 4Th Annual Hog Tie - Sep 25-27 I think I might just try to get down for this one. I haven't been on a ride longer than 100 miles in a few years. I think it's about time to change that.
- Ethanol Free Gas Is Magic! Yosh, do you really think it's 4-gallons? I've started the practice of using ethanol-free fuel in my small-engine stuff as well as my wife's Nighthawk. I typically fill up my gas cans after flushing the line with "the…
- Tmac Beer Hauler Needed! Help, Help If I'm remembering correctly, Grayv3 is NOT going back the same way he came. So there still may be a need to return the empties. That is unless you don't want your deposit back.
- No Signals, Horn Or Brake Light, Not The Fuse Does your high beam work? Maybe you somehow disconnected the left switch case wire bundle and the brake light is just bulbs. The brake lights don't activate with either lever engaged?
- Has The Tender Been Knocked Off By New Tech The optimas I just pulled out were 8 years old. They still started the car great but couldn't handle the load from the amps while driving. I attribute this to keeping them on the tender overnight for most of the last…
- Has The Tender Been Knocked Off By New Tech I don't think any of the small chargers are sufficient to charge a battery. If the battery is a little low, then fine, use the Battery Tender, or CTEK, or the new "wicked smart" charger. But if a battery is dead, you…
- 2007 Vfr Problems After Wash Sounds like you have a bad battery.
- Iphone 5s charging issue Are you positive (pun intended) that you have the polarity correct? Some things are very particular about positive and negative.
- Shock Remote Reservoir Mounting These are pictures from his FZ-1, not from a VFR. So the left passenger foot peg and heat issues don't apply here.
- New Cct With Enlarged 2.75Mm Oil Port spud786 Well. Im going to do a 100 mile run tommorow, to test out. That ought to also confirm whether the loose cap, is safe sitting in the channel on the back side of the guide. later on I may try and find a differnt…
- New Cct With Enlarged 2.75Mm Oil Port What I'd really like for someone to try is keeping the known noisey CCT, but just enlarging that hole to see if the noise goes away. I think we are all in agreeance that a new CCT will be quite. But if you can quite the…
- New Cct With Enlarged 2.75Mm Oil Port I'll be watching how this turns out Brian. My APE manual tensioner is still quite, but it is still a manual part (although I have never had to adjust it as of yet). This would be the cheapest "fix" if this actually…
- Way too close for me [image: View Post]2thdr, on 22 October 2012 - 09:54 AM, said: Good job Fred...you lived to tell the tale and didn't become another victim of this terrible crime and sickness. Alcoholism kills in many ways. Last Tuesday…
- For my wife? At 5'3", the SV is still going to be tall. I've got a friend with one, and I've spent a few hundred miles behind the bars on it. I would put in right inline with the Kawasaki 650 that she had before. The SV is a little…
- New Rider Tips There's lots to add here, but at this point I'll add that you should ALWAYS leave the bike in gear when parked on the side stand. Center stands are for maintenance only. As soon as those tasks are done the bike should…

- Heartland Park Track-day? I'd be "in" also. And Adam, if Yokel is riding the big VFR, why can't you ride your C-14? If it will make you feel better, I'll keep all my bags on also. [image: IMGX3544.JPG] IMGX3544.JPG This pic was taken at…
- Emancipation! I got soggy eyes just reading about your successes. Nothing but smiles from here! Adam's dedication to you is something most of us can strive to be to our own partners. GOD bless him.
- VFR800 vs other lightweight ST's I'll weigh in as I've spent a considerable amount of time (or what I'd call considerable without owning one) on a ZRX, both 1100 & 1200. I talked my BIL into buying an 1100 and then talked a friend into a 1200, telling…
- First Time Wheel Removal The spokes are not squarely set on the hub, so it might look a little funny. There are directional arrows on the wheel to help with the intended rotation and the rotors have intended direction as well I believe. But…
- Fuel Gauge Drops to Empty - Gas Tank Still Full. Thoughts? Ideas? I would venture to guess it has to be electrical. The float typically works (floats) or it doesn't, so the slow to react thing makes me think there is an issue with reading the resistance or sending that resistance to…

- Am I a jerk for not waving at trikes? [image: View Post]Aegisranger, on 16 August 2012 - 03:24 AM, said: Wow, I actually created an active thread... cool... lol @Spud786 - "Everyone has their peeves" It's not really a peeve, it's just that I have so much…

- Z-max Unfortunately, Carroll Shelby doesn't get paid to do anything now since he is 6ft under. But I wouldn't use the stuff in my bike.
- Out of Round I know it's rare, but I've expierenced the same thing. I do respect Greg's opinion, but in this case I think he is incorrect. I was lucky enough to have my expierence when I was a wrench at a dealership, and I had…
- What tools do and do not need to be quality? I'll disagree with your list when it comes to screwdrivers. The hardness (or lack of) of the bits in the cheaper screwdrivers will bite you in the ass. I've only got Craftsman Professional Series and Snap-On…
- What's wrong with these pictures? [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on 13 July 2012 - 05:32 AM, said: The tie down strap is wrapped around the exhaust I saw that also, but my concern was the tire/swingarm movement getting into the strap.
- What's wrong with these pictures? The only thing I notice in the picture with the bike, is a lack of an oil leak. I'm wondering if this is actually your bike or not.
- Manual Cam Chain Tensioners Edit: Kaldek I believe is referring to me, and he has hasn't exactly been correct with his statement. It's not that the lock/jam nut came loose, it was 100% my fault as I didn't lock it down to begin with. And even this…
- Manual Cam Chain Tensioners I had absolutely no problem adjusting the front with all the stuff in place, just the tank lifted. I used a 1/4" extension and socket and adjusted it by hand until I was happy with the amount of rattle (or lack there…
- What's the best electrical solution for added accessories? From you comment of electricity is magic comment, I'm thinking this might go over your head, but I'll say it anyway. I would suggest a fuseblock that is triggered from a relay to keep from having many connections at the…
- Radians custom ear plugs (self-made)... I don't want to take any profits away from BigEar products, but their technique might work well for this. While allowing the putty to set-up, place a 1-2" piece of rubber, wood, something like that, between your top &…
- Looking at my first VFR tonight: Need your insight The tank decals are there, so that means the only decals that have been removed are the "Interceptor" badges on the tail fairing. Between the '02 & the '04, you will find zero changes other than the shade of red and…
- British Columbia new bike laws today So how does the graduated licensing system work?
- Combined brakes and slow speed maneuvers... Tips? I'd also suggest another MSF course. The Expirenced Rider Course, or Basis Rider Course 2 is a good class for anyone getting on a new-to-them bike. I do the U-turn drill on my '05 VFR without any issues. I really think…

- Slipping grips I did the hairspray thing as well, but I didn't have any cheap stuff around. Don't tell my wife, but I used her expensive Paul Mitchell or some other salon type of spray and it worked just fine.
- Helmet weight To answer the question, out of the 3 Arais that I own, I've NEVER had an issue with the shield closing on its own. In fact, before you mentioned it, I never realized the Arai didn't have the notching action. I wouldn't…
- Oil and filter advice [image: View Post]Lee 2002, on 21 April 2012 - 05:17 PM, said: I would suggest that Carlitos add the "Would you wash your face using the turd of a guy who ate soap?" quote to his tag-line. :fing02: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:
- Oil and filter advice If I were to follow Honda's recommendations, I would have checked my valves twice by now. But instead I just choose to use my sick sense of humor (not my used truck oil) on fellow VFRDers. I've used Mobil 1 with a K&N…
- Oil and filter advice I'm not changing the oil in my truck because it's worn out. I change the truck oil when the bike oil needs changed. So what you all are saying is I should just use a newer oil and add the diesel fuel for the cleaning…

- Oil and filter advice I usually just use the used oil that I drained out of my diesel truck on it's last oil change. But it has the slight smell of diesel fuel to it, so I think it might help clean the inside of the engine more than the new…
- 98 won't Start I would try and steer you away from the "Start ya Bastard" spray. You only need three things for an engine to spit fire, and we know you should have two of them. You have fuel if you can smell it in the exhaust, and…
