  1. Wetter Water And The Like..... 20 Mar 2013 13:06 It was pretty trashed. I lowsided it on 129 and it went down the hill about 75 feet. By the time I had fuel to get it home and repairs I was in way more than it was worth. I mailed the towing co (can't remember the…
  2. Wetter Water And The Like..... 9 Mar 2013 20:22 You didn't by chance pick up that bike from a towing company in the area? I abandoned one in the area that had engine ice in it
  3. Water Dripping From Exhaust? 4 Mar 2013 21:19 There is always condensation from combustion. If the can isn't hot enough to keep it as steam you will get water in the cans. This is one reason people always tell others not to start a bike unless you are going to get…
  4. 3G oil change schedule 3 Oct 2012 19:03 Its your bike so its your choice. For me oil is cheap so 3k it is. For all bikes except for the xr.
  5. Fuel drips after dropped 8 Sep 2012 19:47 The bike is fine. The fuel probably found it's way to the overflow tube on the tank. This is one of the rubber hoses you are talking about. Once the fuel gets out of the line it will stop dripping

  7. Removed Honda stickers on front fairing and sides? 5 Sep 2012 20:30 Or easier yet get some 3M adhesive remover. This stuff will take adhesive off anything and won't hurt the paint http://www.amazon.co...ils_o01_s00_i00
  8. JUST PUSHED MY BIKE 3 MILES!!! DAG!!! 30 Aug 2012 23:27 I switched from State Farm to Rider Ins. Much better rates and roadside is included with all their policies. The only downfall to them is it isn't available in all states
  9. Muffler Painting 3 Aug 2012 19:36 When I gutted my can. I painted it with flat black (Timmy that's for you) bbq rattle can. @ years later and about 10k miles it still looks fine. Make sure you scuff them up with emery cloth and clean the pipes really…
  10. Givi top case with Honda side bags 24 Jun 2012 13:31 I have the 55 on the rear of mine. It is nice to have all the room. The side bags are givi on mine though so I don't know about fitting with oem. You can't tell they are back there when riding. It doesn't weigh as much…
  11. Oil leak - don't know how serious - pics 21 Jun 2012 11:21 Also, in the 30 + years I have been riding bikes I ave yet to see one leak around the shifter shaft. Come look at my xr and I'll show you a leaking shifter shaft. Not common but it can happen

  14. Heated grips and voltmeter on the same fuse?? 26 Dec 2011 04:59 Most everyone (me included) runs their grips off a relay. You don't want power to them when the ignition is off and having a dedicated line to them doesn't tax any other wiring
  15. Bullsh***er's at work....post your snappy retorts. 8 Dec 2011 20:37 I betting a question about their chicken strips will lead to a response about bbq or sweet and sour sauce. That will tell you all you need to know

  18. GIpro DS gear position indicator review 11 Jul 2011 02:46 BartmanEH slowbird How did you attach it? With tape? Is it easily positionable? It comes with thin double-sided black foam tape. Seems to work well. I wouldn't expect that it's re-positionable. However, it does come…

  22. 3 months ETSAHT 19 Mar 2011 02:31 Just my $0.02 but that looks like a lot of slab. There isn't anything to see (or curves for that matter) on the interstate. Last year I took a 3 week, just short of 8k miles last year with less than 25 miles of slab. I…

  27. Quoting entire posts in your replies 3 Nov 2010 17:14 maybe a reply button that doesn't automatically quote the post your replying to would help

  30. Feel like I'm getting lowballed by insurance 6 Oct 2010 20:51 Have you tried to buy it from the insurance co with a salvage title. It may be better to part the bike (depending on the damage).
  31. Body position during long ride 29 Sep 2010 12:46 along with the changing position, stretching, and getting off once in a while I have found some tunes to be a big help. I have headphones that are also ear plugs so they block out wind noise and let you enjoy the music.…
  32. The VFR is quite the machine 23 Sep 2010 11:48 Those aren't luggage. They are the new super high priced frame sliders
  33. How far can I ride in 7-8 days? 23 Aug 2010 01:15 It also depends on what kind of roads you ride. You can do 600 to 700 a day of slab, but may only get 300 a day on nice 2 lane. Weather is a huge factor too. Sun is a lot easier to rack up mile is than rain. The last is…

  39. Question for Maine riders with aftermarket exhausts....... 17 Jul 2010 15:36 Hi Everyone, I just went to go get my 08 Kawi 650 inspected today, and they wouldn't do it because I have an aftermarket Arrow exhaust (db killer was in) on the bike. It is my understanding that even though these are 16…
  40. Sick of ear buds 11 Jul 2010 16:08 I have had pretty good experience with eytmotics er6i but if I do not seat them properly they can get uncomfy. Great sound though and very durable. +1 on the Etymotic Isolator Earphones ER-6i. All day comfort and decent…

  44. Want to start doing my own changes. 26 Apr 2010 15:34 I've got the same set up: HF changer, mojo blocks, no-mar bar. I also invested in the HF tire balancer. Very easy to use and works GREAT! I also bought some of the sick-on wheel weights at HF--they come in both silver…
  45. ANYONE INSTALL ONE? 23 Apr 2010 13:56 Call me lazy--but I'm use to the gear indicator on my Hayabusa. I was wondering if anyone ever install one of these GiPro Gear Indicators on their VFR? If so, does it work as well as stated? Thanks…

  47. coolant mixture 9 Apr 2010 14:38 I believe their big claim is it breaks the surface tension of water. Like how you can float a penny on water as long as you don't break the surface tension. From what they say it increases the heat transfer of water…
  48. coolant mixture 9 Apr 2010 14:09 Hope this isn't :beatdeadhorse: but: After reading a lot of threads about how hot the engines run and reading about water wetter I'm thinking that 50/50 isn't the best mix. Water wetter states that in their dyno test:…
