All 12- So I Need Thicker Handgrips, What Do I Do ? I had the same experience. Throttle hand cramping up on anything more than an hour's ride. Year's of sitting in front of a computer has given me arthritis so the pain can be somewhat intense at times. But instead of…
- How Do You Get The $%$ Turn Signal Bulb Assembly Out! I've been trying to get the bulb assembly out of the right turn signal but my hands seem to be too big. Anyone have a tip? 2002 vfr Thanks!
- Name That (bad) Sound. [image: View Post]Rice, on Jun 5 2009, 01:46 PM, said: Dump that mechanic who suggested to use old pads with the new rotors. That's brakes 101 - replace rotors, replace pads. I'm on the steep learning curve of mechanics…
- Name That (bad) Sound. Thanks for all of the replies! I just ordered a new set of ECB pads that I will install this weekend. The noise is definitely not the ABS...though since my post (and the loud bang) everything seems to be 'better'.…

The mechanic didn't tighten the clamp bolt AT ALL! I was able to spin it around with my fingers. The whole unit had shifted forward. The chain was draped over the center…
- Havin' A Bad Day...what Does It Mean When The Bike Shudders And There's A Crunching Noise Coming From Under The Bike? What scares me is that it is not just the sound it was making but the very negative effect on the ride....bucking a lot in any gear...that's what has me most worried...I am under 30 days on this repair so I should be…
- Havin' A Bad Day...what Does It Mean When The Bike Shudders And There's A Crunching Noise Coming From Under The Bike? Raining today and I have no good lighting in the garage so it will have to wait for the weekend. If it is the chain how much damage did I do to the chain itself? Is it possible that I just blew a brand new chain with…

On the way home the bike started to shudder, then whenever I would start in 1st there was some serious clanking and grinding. Luckely I was almost home so I…
