  1. Seat Latch Exploded :( 22 Jun 2015 01:58 Thanks guys.
  2. Seat Latch Exploded :( 21 Jun 2015 00:32 Well that's about as detailed as you can ask for. Do you know off the top of your head the size for the bolt or screw that holds it on? If not I'll just run down to the hardware store and try them out.
  3. Seat Latch Exploded :( 18 Jun 2015 04:33 Sweet, thanks
  4. Seat Latch Exploded :( 16 Jun 2015 19:25 Went to remove my seat the other day and the parts of the latch ended up falling all over the inside of my scooter. Can anyone post a picture of how it all goes together? Anyone know how many bits there are? I have 3…
  5. Anyone With A Tire Balancer In Austin? 17 Apr 2015 01:49 It's time for some new tires. Took the VFR in for my inspection and both are below the minimum tread. I don't have any tire tools but I think I can get the tires off and on, I just don't have any way to balance them.…
  6. I think my thermostat died :( 25 Apr 2012 00:55 I put about 100 miles on it today with no issues. When I was sitting at idle the temp. gauge would come up to the midpoint and I could hear the fans kick on. When I was riding the gauge was slightly lower than that. It…
  7. I think my thermostat died :( 21 Apr 2012 23:05 Age. The hose just slipped off the nipple on the carb when I touched it. Shortly after finding the pinhole, the hose basically fell apart. I had to cut back a few more because they are all starting to crack. I don't…
  8. I think my thermostat died :( 21 Apr 2012 02:52 Found it today. Effing vacuum leak from the front right carb. It was a pinhole in the hose so I couldn't see it all the time. I tried finding the vacuum hose for the back two carbs but I couldn't see it. Can someone…
  9. I think my thermostat died :( 18 Nov 2011 23:42 Well I felt the back pipes today and they get hot. I started it and let it warm up to where the fan came on. The return hose gradually warmed up from start to the fans coming on. So I guess it is the thermostat? When it…
  10. I think my thermostat died :( 14 Nov 2011 21:36 Well after driving it some more, I think I might not be firing on a cylinder (too?). There is more engine vibration at idle and a definite lack of power. I felt the front two pipes and they warm up. I haven't felt the…
  11. I think my thermostat died :( 11 Nov 2011 17:26 It's a 3rd Gen. I guess I'll go start digging around for my manual.
  12. I think my thermostat died :( 11 Nov 2011 00:13 My bike has been working fine and coming up to temperature nicely until Monday. I thought maybe the oil cooler was keeping the temp. down but I've ridden in much colder and it still comes up to temp. When I start the…
  13. Throttle pulley to carburetor shaft 7 Sep 2010 23:12 I'm wanting to drill it and tap it for some left handed threads to be able to insert a bolt into it. Not a lot of force but I sure don't want to break anything and have to find some new carbs.
  14. Throttle pulley to carburetor shaft 7 Sep 2010 01:13 What is the shaft on the carburetor that the throttle pulley is pressed on to made out of? And is it solid or hollow? I'm thinking of drilling and tapping it for a project but I don't know if it will be able to stand up…
  15. 3rd gen twin turbo snippet 28 Aug 2010 04:42 Where in the world do they put it? After installing the CC on mine, I don't think I'm creative enough to "massage" anything else in there. This thing is WAY bigger than my CC.
  16. Wanting China to make VFR750 fairings 12 Jul 2010 04:45 My wife contacted one of the companies that actually make fairings in china. They said they had the pattern and would gladly sell us some but the min order was either 100 or 500 sets (can't remember which). I can see if…
  17. Wanting China to make VFR750 fairings 28 Jun 2010 06:16 I have some 3rd gen parts I could send off if I got them back along with some of their new ones :)
  18. motorcycle trunks from Sears !!!! ON sale 9 Apr 2010 17:43 What do you reckon would be involved in mounting this on a 3rd gen? Anybody got any extra coupon codes? :biggrin:
  19. Main Stand On A Vfr 750 '92mod 29 Apr 2009 06:56 Well, according to the parts fiche, the 90-93 VFRs only had a side stand; no center stand is listed. Can any 3rd gen owners confirm this? The center stand was an option on the 3rd gen VFR's. They are very hard to come…
  20. Bike Criminaly Damaged 7 Nov 2008 16:51 Sorry to hear that man, I just got my insurance check from low life doing the exact same thing. Sickening feeling to walk out and see something like that.
