  1. Tire Set-Up 14 Jan 2024 02:32 Do appreciate the feedback, everyone! Temps just hit -2 today, so it will be a bit before I am out on the bike to play with all the possible fixes. Thanks again!
  2. Tire Set-Up 2 Jan 2024 22:49 I have never had Dunlops on a bike before, so I don't really know how they should feel. I just know these feel sluggish. The best way to describe it is exactly as if they were low on air. So, I have checked that…
  3. Tire Set-Up 2 Jan 2024 04:04 Hello, everyone. I sold my VRF back in 2019 and back then the "ideal" tire set up for how I rode was a Michelin PP front and a Michelin Pilot Road 2CT for the rear. I have since purchased a Kawasaki z900. It has Dunlop…
  4. Bluetooth Earbuds 3 Sep 2015 23:01 Skids, stupid questions, probably, but where do you plug in your headphones to the Sena? And you just stick the rest of the cord into the helmet somewhere? I have the Scala but it didn't allow for a plug nor did it have…
  5. Bluetooth Earbuds 3 Sep 2015 20:57 Hello all. I have been out of the riding scene for a while and after my car broke, I rode my bike for about a week after it had been sitting for over a year and now I am wanting to ride more often. I am looking for a…
  6. 2-Piece Leather Suit Fitting Questions 12 Apr 2013 01:08 Glad that it has stretched some, but before you go too nuts on anything else, just wear it and use it. I bought a Tecknic jacket years ago and immediately regretted it, because I thought I went too small. But it was my…
  7. Before I drop ~$800 on side bags.... 12 May 2012 01:19 I've got an asphalt black '04. Bought the red bags from DSS because most of my surviving accessories from my 02 are red and they look good on my bike. Ordered them Monday morning, they arrived today. Can't wait to…
  8. Do You Have a Joe Rocket Alter Ego Jacket? 27 Oct 2011 00:20 Well, I have the Alter Ego pants and I am very happy with them. I bought them because I have three Joe Rocket jackets and I have no quality issues with any of them. I have one mesh jacket, the lucky full textile jacket…

  12. Radiator Fan 28 May 2010 19:17 I have to agree with Rice and others. My bike, an '04, has no problem cooling down. The fan kicks on at 220, the temp may get up to about 224 or so before it starts going back down. I have never paid attention to when…

  14. Lifting feet off the pegs at RR Xings 21 Jan 2010 18:32 When I smoked, I did the cig flip, but I never knew why! Now I know, superstition! I should have known. I just did it because my friends did it. Yes, I used to be a follower.... :rolleyes: Otherwise, I am not a…
  15. external tire plugging 14 Dec 2009 02:44 I just plugged my tire on Friday. I plan on riding it until I replace the tire. I had a brand new PP last time and it got a nail after less than 500 miles. I rode it for 4000 miles. Now I have probably 5K on the current…
  16. Apparel 7 Dec 2009 19:29 I am more or less in the same climate as you. I wear a Technic leather perforated for the heat and below about 40 degrees, I use a Joe Rocket Blaster 4 solid leather jacket. It has textile inner arms for flex and seems…
  17. I am a 6th gen RWB owner 26 Nov 2009 16:58 The ABS light is probably only on because it's not moving. Once you get it rolling, it should turn off at about three miles an hour. It always comes on until you start moving to let you know it's working. Oh, and if you…
  18. 6th Gen Front Wheel Compatiblity 21 Nov 2009 03:16 I'll sell you a set of '04 wheels with less than 4000 miles for 400! :biggrin:
  19. How do I get residual fuel out of the tank? 7 Nov 2009 16:59 Well, since I had everything out, I just stuck some rags in there to soak it up. Then I put everything back together and I will clean the outside, that should alleviate the odor enough to get it shipped. So, hopefully…
  20. How do I get residual fuel out of the tank? 7 Nov 2009 16:35 Ok, I have the tank off the bike, I have removed the fuel pump and the fuel level sender and I still can't get the rest of the gas out. What am I doing wrong? What's the trick? After that, anybody have any tips for…

  23. 110�c Or 230�f At 180 Km/hr - Normal ? 23 Jul 2009 00:48 My prob. is something similar. My '02 ran 185ish at highway speed. My new to me '04 sits at 215 degrees on the highway and actually starts to cool down when I come off the highway. So my T-stat is either not opening all…
  24. Vfr Insurace (new Member/owner) 22 Jul 2009 14:45 Here in Florida, the insurance companies have a great racket.... It's called No-Fault Insurance. Supposed to save money! Yeah, okay... I have Progressive, $306 a year for full coverage, but not Personal Injury. That's…

  26. Removing The Front Wheel 30 Jun 2009 22:48 Ok, I removed the front wheel off my wrecked bike and I will be swapping it to my new one. My question is when I took the wheel off, there were two different spacers, one on each side. I didn't notice them until they…

  29. Removing Rim Tape 26 Jun 2009 01:01 Wasn't sure where to post this, but I am going nuts trying to remove the rim tape from my wheels. I spent about half an hour with different stuff including wd40 and goo gone, but I just can't get the adhesive to…

  31. Picked Up My New Bike! 25 Jun 2009 14:42 Well, after being told by my lawyer that my settlement could be as long as a year out, and my wife telling me that I was being more moody than usual, I realized that I had to find a new ride. So, after a little…

  35. Hey Guys, Look What I Did To Today! 1 May 2009 13:25 Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words. Everyone was telling me that I was going to feel it this in the morning, but other than my thighs being sore, I feel great. It's great to be alive and healthly! As far as who is…
  36. Hey Guys, Look What I Did To Today! 1 May 2009 02:25 Well, I just typed this long ass post about this and it disappeared when I tried to submit it, so I will do the short version this time. I was heading to lunch when a Fire and Rescue truck pulled out of a cross road. He…

  39. Is The Vfr800 The Ultimate All-rounder? 30 Mar 2009 14:37 I would have to say it's the perfect bike, but it's only my third, so maybe I don't know what I Am talking about. :biggrin: It will be interesting to see what happens with the story as the poll shows a healthly lead for…

  41. It's Another One Of Those Bloody Vtec Threads 9 Mar 2009 15:01 It's not oil temp, it's water temp, right?! I would guess that normal, thermostat working operation is this: fire up the bike, let it idle. In go the ear plugs, on goes the helmet, zip up the jacket, pull on the gloves,…
  42. Thinking Of Getting Out Of Motorcycling 5 Mar 2009 14:38 This is probably gonna be long-winded, and to get to the jest of what I am saying, you could probably skip to the end, but here it goes.... I am gonna tell you about my ride in today. 9 times out of 10 when I ride to…
  43. Doesn't Take Much Extra Weight On The Back... 21 Nov 2008 02:38 I'm roadtripping to Mobile next week for the Holiday so last night I put my EXL tail and saddle bags on the bike. Rode it to work today to make sure I had it put together about right. So, anyway, sprinting down 295 and…
  44. Pilot Road 2's As A Sport Tire Review! 18 Nov 2008 19:56 Rad, I do have few miles of twisties, but there is just about 200 miles of straight roads to get to them.... :dry: So, is $370 installed for PR2's a good price? Are they worth 100 bucks more than the powers? I can't…
  45. Pilot Road 2's As A Sport Tire Review! 18 Nov 2008 16:47 Okay, here's my problem... I don't have a tire installer, so I have to go to a dealer and they flat out refuse to mount "different" tires front and rear. I want the "Holy Grail" set up of PP front PR2 rear, but they…
  46. Do Thermostats Partially Fail? 19 Sep 2008 14:30 Okay, here's what I am experiencing. My bike warms up as usual. The problem is that it seems to get hot too quickly these days. It's been easily running 10 to 15 degrees hotter the past month or so and I thought maybe I…
  47. Crush Washers For Oil Bolt 26 Aug 2008 19:53 I knew they were "supposed" to get replaced, but I for the most part on my vehicles never have. This time, though, it just disappeared so I have to replace it. Went to the dealer today and picked up some with my new…
  48. Crush Washers For Oil Bolt 25 Aug 2008 22:20 Well, that pretty much says it all. The crush washer has disappeared. So, now I need a new one. I guess some people replace this each oil change? So, what size and is there a specific type? I can't really check just now…
