  1. Replace Stator And Flywheel - How To With Pics 17 Jun 2015 22:22 I recently had my stator go with close to 50k kmh on my 07. After searching around for options I thought I'd try Custom Rewind and I'm quite happy I did. All three stator segments were going to ground and they were all…
  2. When do you change your tyres? 17 Oct 2010 05:02 Monk I waited until I started to see this with the mindset of getting all my $$ worth. After putting on the new set though I realized how badly the old squared off ones handled. I think I may be replacing early like you…
  3. New speeding laws in B.C.Canada 11 Oct 2010 05:13 [image: View Post]Gerrys02800, on 10 October 2010 - 10:35 PM, said: Radar Detectors are legal in British Columbia (BC) MHO, why speed, those fines are a set of tires, nice heated jacket and gas money for the summer…
  4. Torque those bolts fellas 22 Sep 2010 06:23 I use Torque Seal on most of the scary bolts that I mess with. One quick glance and I know its all good. A little habit from my previous life that I can't shake.
  5. 2011 Kootenay Hootenanny 2 - PNW/Canada Meet in Nelson, BC 9 Sep 2010 01:18 I'm in for August 13, 14, 15 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) or August 5, 6, 7 Vote added.
  6. VTEC-SC... 5 Aug 2010 20:45 So now that it's done and all buttoned up with cowls etc, did you notice any temp differences due to rad mod?

  8. VTEC-SC... 5 Aug 2010 01:30 Sorry if I missed it but will this fit on an ABS bike?
  9. VFR1200T 1 Aug 2010 19:40 The current Motorcyclist Magazine has an article on the 1200T. They seem to think it will make it's debut this fall and they are saying it will most likely replace the ST1300.
  10. Not another wind buffeting thread?! 26 Jul 2010 05:56 I guess a lot of it depends on your riding position and where the windstream is getting you in the first place. I recently stuck on the MRA screen as well and it is doing the job nicely. I used to get almost all clean…

  12. VTEC-SC... 24 Jul 2010 17:29 Ultimately what I would like to have is more power all around from the 0 revs to about 7k. My riding puts me 95% below 7k with only the remainder above. Are there any pulley mods or anything that I can do to shift the…
  13. New Exhaust with lots of Photos 22 Jul 2010 08:15 They look great, where did ya get em from?
  14. Kootenay Tour and the Crash 20 Jul 2010 21:16 I've never seen Jeff mad before, knew what went down couldn't have been all that good. Leave it to Jeff though to catch the guy... a couple of times. :fing02:
  15. Veefalo Mods 13 Jul 2010 05:44 I'm diggin the heated grip controller... :fing02:
  16. VFR1200T 7 Jun 2010 00:06 Providing it's for real and it's not ugly and it's not break the bank expensive I would for sure buy the non DCT version over the F.
  17. Elka response to spring rate question 21 May 2010 02:26 That is absolutely ridiculous. Someone went hard on the pipe before filling your order.
  18. Elka response to spring rate question 20 May 2010 22:52 Elka is actually pretty good. What they told you is what I have already heard from them and I understand their philosophy. That is why their spring calculator tops out at 1100#. $110 is their flat rate spring cost.…
  19. another undertail exhaust done 7 May 2010 15:57 Very clean, looks great.
  20. Youtube videos equal no justice for exhaust sounds. 1 May 2010 15:31 [image: View Post]Ripper, on 30 April 2010 - 08:56 PM, said: [image: View Post]jasonsmith, on 30 April 2010 - 06:13 PM, said: A couple things, did you weight them before you stuck them on, curious how much of a weight…
  21. Youtube videos equal no justice for exhaust sounds. 30 Apr 2010 23:13 A couple things, did you weight them before you stuck them on, curious how much of a weight savings there is. Is there any video that you would say comes close, would like to hear it.
  22. 6th Gen RPMs at 60 MPH? 30 Apr 2010 03:38 This web site will tell you all you need to know. http://www.gearingcommander.com/ Just select your VFR from the drop down menus.
  23. vfr12 vs k13 28 Apr 2010 20:50 Nice article, thanks for the heads up. I too would take the Beemer fully loaded. Curious what the next couple years of the K1300 will bring now that Honda's cards are on the table.
  24. Motorcycle Training worthless 22 Apr 2010 22:47 Training is all dependent on the trainee. If he or she doesn't wish to follow, utilize, practice or build on what is learned then all the training in the world for that individual would be useless.
  25. Subframe failure on 6th gen 11 Apr 2010 18:44 V4 Rosso SEBSPEED idunno, I kinda think Honda needs to hear about this. An 06 is still quite new and there's no reason for this to happen, ever. Could end up in a recall if it's serious enough. :unsure: jasonsmith Honda…

  28. Needs some input from 6th gen owners 9 Apr 2010 07:34 [image: View Post]Rice, on 08 April 2010 - 12:59 PM, said: I'd go with 1. :+1:
  29. One VFR1200F now in my garage 8 Apr 2010 17:07 [image: View Post]Cynic, on 13 February 2010 - 07:09 AM, said: [image: Posted Image] I'm noticing that your shock spring is pre-loaded. Have you set your sag or did it come that way from the dealer. Curious how the…
  30. Kaoka Throttle Lock 8 Apr 2010 16:48 I've always been curious of how easy it was to use these style of "twist to lock" devices since they are on the right side of your hand. With the NEP lock style you can use that thumb that is so conveniently placed.…

  32. Raising forks in triple with wheel on? 2 Apr 2010 05:41 I would properly set your sag first and ride it before you raise your forks just in case your front is tighter than the rear. Just so you can get the full feel of what the fork change has done for you.
  33. Top of the World on a VFR 29 Mar 2010 22:27 Excellent report tc, thank you.
  34. 6th Gen OEM Luggage Installation Guide 28 Mar 2010 03:02 ya my spacers didn't fit either, had to drill but I wouldn't doubt that some need to and some don't. The BIGGEST help is to leave all the bolts loose until there all in. I love my hardbags, best addition ever.
  35. Happy B-day to me... got a new helmet 20 Mar 2010 16:27 Nice review, thanks. Good to see more and more sun visors getting installed. Just got my HJC IS-16 solely for that reason.
  36. So where do we go from here? 3/20 EPIC Story evolving 19 Mar 2010 03:20 Holy mashed gear batman!! Good thing you were wearing it, well done. Maybe you can sell it or offer it back to the manufacturers so they can use it to make their new stuff even better. Hard to simulate a test any better…
  37. Headlight Modulator Idea For 6th Gen 14 Mar 2010 17:13 [image: View Post]Gerrys02800, on 14 March 2010 - 10:34 AM, said: [image: View Post]jasonsmith, on 16 July 2009 - 08:24 PM, said: This one.. https://www.kisantec...oduct=P115W-S-D comes up when the VFR is selected and…
  38. Transformed Wow ! 14 Mar 2010 16:26 You are correct, I totally got that backwards, the force will increase a lot quicker with less air. I still don't think the air does anything other than controlling the bottoming of the forks though. The air needs to be…
  39. Transformed Wow ! 14 Mar 2010 00:51 V4 Rosso How come when I pull a stoppie, so all the weight is on the fork, it doesn't bottom out? The combined weight of me and the VFR is 350kg, say the front springs are 0.9 (stock is 0.63) then I need…
  40. Transformed Wow ! 13 Mar 2010 22:29 BaileyRock jaimev34 Recently installed a Daugherty rebuilt shock (a stock 5th gen shock with a 1050#/in spring and gold valving), and I must say that I am very happy with the results. I had my front-end race teched a…
  41. Run Away 13 Mar 2010 05:18 A freak electrical issue could happen I guess but the odds are way less than getting hit by a cage or launching it into a field.
  42. Sargent Seat fitment -- 6th Generation 11 Mar 2010 22:51 Mine is half way in between what is reported here. If I press firmly it will lock, if I try and just "pop" it in like the stock seat it fakes me into thinking it's locked but it's not and will pop up if pulled on.
  43. Let the Mods Begin Part II 6 Mar 2010 03:29 It's all just so beautiful it makes me wanna cry...
  44. Transformed Wow ! 4 Mar 2010 16:02 MadFrog if you did your fork valving yourself you may have noticed that RaceTech's compression valving recommendations covers a few different spring rates based on the style of riding. The rebound valving is usually set…
  45. VTEC-SC... 3 Mar 2010 18:05 This may have been already mentioned someplace but is there a way to dial in the HP gain at all? Via whatever method, maps, restrictor plates, pulleys etc...
  46. Brake pads choice? Who uses what? Reviews 27 Feb 2010 03:16 How are the EBC's in the wet?
  47. Thinking of rebuilding my bike. 26 Feb 2010 20:45 I love the 6th so much that I would part it out for myself just in case. All those pieces are worth there weight in gold when needed, especially the itty bitty ones.

  49. Great suspension setup how-to link 21 Feb 2010 02:30 I also think that maybe .85kg would be closer unless you plan on approaching the 200# mark (lots of donuts). I'm using .95kg's for my 220# with just small amount of preload. When I built my forks I made sure my package…
