All 40- What the hell does this hose connect to? Ha! I'm not the only one who's freaked out about that.
- Bike Ergonomic Web App There. That's more like it...except I'm not 8'4" ...but that's what it feels like. Attached thumbnail(s) [image: Attached Image: RidingImage (1).png]
- Bike Ergonomic Web App I'm very curious to know how "arm straightness" is measured since 50% doesn't seem to be halfway between fully extended and fully bent. Plus I can't believe I can only choose 50% as minimum arm straightness. I totally…
- CCT Noise As someone who has taken apart and analyzed the CCTs several times now, I still believe that CCTs don't "go bad". You can add more tension to the spring that pushes the wormgear against the cam chain guide and, yes, I…
- VFR1200 with Leo Vince You know I'm not really sure this is a good comparison. It sounds to me like the microphone used the Leo Vince pipe is probably not very good since you can't really hear much of the low-range tones, which I'm sure are…
- VFR1200 Upgrades What? No Torocharger option? :warranty:
- Cam Chain Tensioner, Without Throttle Body Removal Of course, there are two CCTs and I haven't messed with the other one. I'll have to update once I do that.
- Cam Chain Tensioner, Without Throttle Body Removal Yes, quite true. Of course if I hadn't been so cavalier about taking about my new CCT I could have figured it out. D'oh! There has to be a way to find out what that tension should be right? I mean a dealership would…
- Cam Chain Tensioner, Without Throttle Body Removal So after sitting down and figuring out how the CCT works I am a bit sad that I ended up spending the ~$100 on a new CCT to have at the ready for a replacement. I am sternly in the camp that CCTs DON'T "go bad" but…
- Stop Flat For Ever Wow. Gotta say that its rather expensive just for the coating. I mean I'm sure there was some R&D involved, or perhaps not, but their price point is way above my level of curiousity. I'm content with a plug kit.
- Another Brake Bleeding Thread (lbs) So I was able to unstick my second master cylinder after disconnecting and reconnecting the inlet line. I realized that I believe the problem occurred when I was pumping the rear brake pedal while the caliper was…
- Another Brake Bleeding Thread (lbs) Anyone ever taken apart their second master cylinder on the front left brake caliper?
- Another Brake Bleeding Thread (lbs) So I employed the help of my wife bleeding my rear brakes so that I could get the left center bleed valve on the front caliper. Unfortunately after bleeding the servo PCV with the inverted front left caliper and then…
- 6th Gen Custom Exhaust [image: View Post]redmarque, on May 7 2009, 07:06 AM, said: Man - they look "les testicles de chien" nice job! I think Honda needs to take this as their cue.
- Question On My Leo Vince. There's no gasket to speak of. It's probably just a matter of tightening the clamp as you thought. I believe on the stock exhaust requires a gasket, probably required by law.
- What Is Average Cct Life? (6th Gen?) I guess I'll find this out soon enough after I do an oil change, but if you CCT is already making noise will changing the oil weight eliminate the noise or is it necessary to replace/attempt to repair the CCT? I…
- What Is Average Cct Life? (6th Gen?) Well, I suppose I'll change over to 10w40 then and see what happens.
- What Is Average Cct Life? (6th Gen?) I'm using 15W50 Mobile One full synthetic and it started getting noisy around 25k and is constant now at ~30k.
- What Is Average Cct Life? (6th Gen?) So what is the average CCT life for people that have replaced it and successfully stopped the noise that was produced? I'm on the verge of checking my CCT's one at a time to see if I can do Tightwad's CCT removal w/o…
- Cool Voltmeter Alternative [image: View Post]Tightwad, on Nov 20 2008, 11:54 AM, said: ...please don't drive your bike underwater... Damn. That was my next project. But he told me not to I guess I shouldn't :goofy:
- +2 In Back Or -1 In Front? I went +2 in the rear and honestly I can't say that I really noticed that much of a difference in acceleration. I'm not in the habit of lifting up the front end so perhaps I wouldn't really know, but I've heard from…
- Purchased An 02, Thanks For The Help! Welcome fellow rider. I've got an 03' and am lovin' it. I'm curious if why you let go of the FJR if indeed you did. Is the VFR to supplant it?
- Leo Vince Titanium [image: View Post]Joker, on Aug 14 2008, 07:53 PM, said: I made the decision to purchase a set of Leo Vince Titaniums, and had some difficulty finding a company selling them. Most everyone has the Aluminum and Carbon…
- Want To Clarify Stegen, I can't speak for everyone, but I think if your son was perhaps 10 or older the sarcasm would've benn received with a much warmer reception. I think most would agree, and probably is best evidenced by all of the…
- Im Gonna Kill My Son [image: View Post]mtbiker1, on Jun 24 2008, 11:32 PM, said: Wow....maybe I'm really out there or the desert heat has gotton to me, but I totally took this poster's comments to be totally: Tongue-in-cheek PC police are…
- Im Gonna Kill My Son I can understand the initial frustration of the situation and perhaps you posted up right after it happened, but also your kid is a three/four-year-old and isn't even in preschool yet I imagine. I hope your post was…
- Is This True? I wonder if Honda would seriously think about a 200hp production engine. That seems a little absurd, but then again I'm not really sure where that segment of the market is going.
- Riot Grrrl, The Crash, The Story, The Pictures Riot Grrrl, Reading the account of your injuries and rehabilitation left me in tears as it conjured memories of my own spinal cord injury (C2, C3) where I was nearly left a quadrapeligic. I know how much courage it…
- Cycle World, June 2008 Issue Came In Today Plus, look at how upright the rider is to the right of the chick. Clearly that's a VFR rider. The others have too "squidly" a riding position.
- Safety Recall So here are some pictures my service center sent me of the wire harness. JH2RC46143M500995_2.JPG JH2RC46143M500995 _1.JPG Additionally they noticed that the wires to the R/R and stator were pretty well fried as well.…
- Why Not Aluminum? I was just looking to get a set of Leo Vince pipes and my choice is between getting the aluminum cans and being able to afford a PCIII or getting the titanium and not the PCIII, but still having a little $$ left over.…
- What Do You Thing About That? Nice job. Some of the lines look a little too swoopy to me, but that's me.
- Shame On You North Bay Cycle..... Does Canada have the equivalent of the US's Better Business Bureau? I would file a formal complaint if you do.
- Homemade Manometer So does Honda not do a starter valve sync or is that the responsibility of the dealer, in which case it is most definitely guaranteed not to be done?
- Battery Drain Looks like you have a VTEC. Did you have the stator recall done? I had the sub-standard stator and after killing the battery enough times, a cell in the battery calfed. I had the stator replaced along with the battery…
- Battery Drain The battery is original. The bike is 3 1/4 years old with 12K + miles.
- Battery Drain So I think my problem was just the cold weather. I've not been riding for about a week now even though it's been getting warmer (tsk, tsk, yeah, I know, I know) and this morning I was able to fire up the V4 without a…
- Battery Drain Well, it shouldn't be sucking any amps when the bike is off since it is on a relay.
- Battery Drain That's correct. I guess the only thing is that I have an alarm that I generally turn leave on over night. I guess I'll try going a night without that and see what happens.
- Battery Drain I was wondering if anyone else that runs many electrical accessories off the battery have problems with the battery dying after a couple of days. I've got 110W worth of fog lights, ~40W Gerbering heated gloves. I guess…
