  1. Running Sport Tires On 4Th Gen 15 Jun 2014 14:38 I really don't know why I haven't tried full sport tires yet. I know the OEM tires that came on my R6S were garbage when I bought it from midsouth motoplex in clarksville. I thought the dunlops qualifiers gave a very…
  2. Running Sport Tires On 4Th Gen 15 Jun 2014 01:25 I have never ridden a bike with dedicated sport tires so I am kind of curious. I have had Continental road attacks on both my R6 and my VFR. Then I put on a pilot power front with a road 2 rear until I caught a nail in…
  3. Fuel Filter......what you using? 9 Sep 2012 15:30 I bought a purolator metal inline filter that had the same size inlet/outlets of the stock honda fuel filter. I have been using this since 2008 with no issues.
  4. Frankenviffer or street fighter 6 Sep 2012 11:31 The reason why I cannot really go back to stock is the LSL kit I installed before my bike AZ failed emissions. The kit fits the 4th gen fine but the instructions are only for a 1990-1993 VFR, so where to cut and how far…
  5. Frankenviffer or street fighter 4 Sep 2012 23:50 When I bought my 95 in 2008 it was in pristine condition, than 2 years later everything went down hill with a slight crack in the tail. I plastifix plastic welded the rear tail as one solid piece and had no issues ever…
  6. Ignition questions delving into emssions failure 18 Aug 2012 16:39 After talking to the guy at the inspection station, we decided a place to start would be testing the ignition system and checking for vacuum leaks. I performed the entire ignition inspection procedure per the manual and…
  7. Why I hate Arizona 8 Aug 2012 00:17 NM Bill the oil has been changed like 150 miles ago before the plates expired.. When looking through the pamplet I found my issue of failing hydrocarbons and passing carbon minoxide. When looking up the causes, it says…
  8. Why I hate Arizona 5 Aug 2012 23:02 I live in Queen Creek/San Tan Valley and they consider it the Phoenix metro area according to the zip code boundaries. I am positive I have to do emissions because the notice I have says its required. Cruzinaz the hi…
  9. Why I hate Arizona 5 Aug 2012 17:51 Cut off is 1966 or older vehicles motorcycles included http://www.azdeq.gov...vei/tested.html They required emissions on my fathers 1980 suzuki GS1000 after we got it road worthy..
  10. Why I hate Arizona 5 Aug 2012 16:01 This is how the sheet reads.. Hydro Carbons 1st idle reading: 2241 precondition reading is: 491 final condition reading is: 2152 Carbon Monoxide 1st idle reading: .33 precondition standard is 5.00 final reading is .28 I…
  11. Why I hate Arizona 5 Aug 2012 05:13 Arizona has emissions for motorcycles which consists of 2 idle tests and holding the throttle at 2500rpm for 30 seconds. My bike failed hydro carbons again after giving it a tune up with oem plugs, hi flo filtro OEM…
  12. If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? 16 Jul 2012 11:20 The change in seating position was totally worth it, plus the bike turns a little faster due to more leverage at the bars. 4th gen was in perfect condition when I bought it in 2008, but the fairings started going south…
  13. If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? 15 Jul 2012 15:12 Auggius sorry I've been real busy with work sorry.. The install went pretty smooth, but I did have to get ST1100 cables due to finding a bad fray in my return cable. www.powersportsplus.com has them for 18 which are new…
  14. If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? 7 Jul 2012 14:49 I currently have 30k on my 95 and have had no problems with it mechanically, besides it failing AZ emissions last week. The only gripe I have is what has happened recently to my fairings. I fixed the cracking tail last…
  15. Heli bars for 4th gen vfr 750 1 Jul 2012 20:20 bmv's clipons are an inch higher than the 94-97's, with 3/4" genmar risers you will be 1/2 inch higher than what helibars gives you. I think on a budget and some cable/brake line rerouting you will be fine.
  16. Adding Superbike Bars To Your Bike 14 Jun 2012 11:12 With the ST1100 cables I am stuck because the bracket that holds the threaded ends in place is too far. I took it to my fathers machine shop and brought it forward about an inch, but I haven't had a chance to install…
  17. Question for suspension Gurus 14 May 2012 03:44 I'll try resetting sag, but I believe I am very close in my current settings. I am not looking for a magic setting or anything, but more of an explanation of rebound and compression dampening. Sag will be my first step…
  18. Question for suspension Gurus 13 May 2012 20:26 I ride a 4th Gen with a 929 shock that Jamie installed a stiffer spring along with a gold valve for my weight. The front end just has a set of hyperpro front progressive spring. The front is set to 12 turns out which…
  19. Helmet suggestions 5 May 2012 04:48 My wife has a scorpion EXO400 and it rivals my shoei RF1100 in quality, but it does not vent as well. It vents pretty well and fits me well since I have a round shaped head. Before purchasing my shoei I had a SparX S07…
  20. Oil and filter advice 20 Apr 2012 11:34 Here is a really good link even though its a little dated. http://motorcycleinf...html#OilFilters I use the Purolator Pure one listed or the Bosch 3323, it depends on how close I am to pep boys.
  21. 4000 miles this summer and need gear. help me make decisions! 21 Mar 2012 10:59 I have a set of alpinestars drystar gloves I bought for $19 at cycle gear work great for cold/wet weather.
  22. Suspension question number 2 6 Feb 2012 01:32 Be careful on buying your rear shock from ebay because many of the people confuse cbr 929 and 954 shocks. If you look for the 929 shocks with the white spring you can be sure that it is the correct one. The 954 shock…
  23. Front end conversion - was yours worth it ?? 24 Jan 2012 16:53 Jaime Daughtery built a custom 929 shock for me and made custom shim stacks for me, I run them with 15wt oil and hyperpro springs right now. I reverted back to this setup from 1.0KG springs and honda 5wt because the…
  24. Danmoto Clip-ons? 4 Jan 2012 22:32 http://www.apexmfg.c...CFQR5hwodQRUiag I have seen these bars as low as $160 and they have up to a 3 inch rise.
  25. The Official Oil Thread 9 Dec 2011 06:12 Interesting read BLS, how would trying this fare against a southern AZ summer? Many times last summer it was 105-117 outside during my commutes and long weekend rides. What would you suggest in that case?
  26. Dutchy's Last Ride in 2011 5 Dec 2011 05:54 Dutchy I have lived in a temperate climate much of my life being from Chicago. I have lived in Arizona for a little bit over a year now and it still is hard to get used to the lack of seasons.
  27. Dutchy's Last Ride in 2011 4 Dec 2011 18:22 That was almost the number 1 reason I moved to Az, because you don't have to shovel sunshine! Most of my life I have lived in Chicago where I only had change oil once a year and was lucking to put 3-4k on during the…
  28. Getting used to Southwest Wind 28 Nov 2011 03:52 I am going stop fighting the wind and apply the rest of the tricks as well. I am coming up to 30k on my 4th gen so I think the steering head bearings should get a little attention, I already have a kit handy to put in.…
  29. Getting used to Southwest Wind 27 Nov 2011 22:36 I moved to Az about a year ago and find it hard to contend with the wind here sometimes. I have ridden through heavy wind lots of times when I lived in IL, KY, and TN, but out here in NM and AZ its a whole other animal.…
  30. Anybody try the Continental Road Attack 2's? 26 Oct 2011 18:50 The weight range for contimotions are 520lbs front and 805lbs rear, I think they would be fine with loaded riding. THose are the same load ranges as my PR2s right now. I did a lot of 2 up touring on the road attacks…
  31. Anybody try the Continental Road Attack 2's? 25 Oct 2011 21:21 Wondering if anybody has given these tires a try since they are a new addition in the US market. I have run the original road attacks on an 07 R6s which I have railed much of what KY, TN, and NC had to offer with while…
  32. Don't tail gate 25 Oct 2011 21:13 Az is home to the worst drivers I have ever witnessed and this is coming from someone who has lived in Chicago most of their lives. If he did this on the commute I take to school in 5 miles a lone he would do that to at…
  33. Riding Skills 19 Oct 2011 00:53 Best money I have spent ever since I started riding was taking the MSF basic/experienced rider courses and having jamie work some suspension magic!
  34. Shortening Scorpion mufflers 12 Oct 2011 04:39 I have cut mufflers before and had no ill affects on either my R6 or VFR. The hard part is cutting everything perfectly straight and riveting the endcap back on. I love shortened cans because they sound so much better…
  35. Best textile jacket brand for durability 4 Oct 2011 14:00 I bought this jacket after submitting to the southern arizona heat. http://www.motorcycl...cle_jacket.html Comes with 2 liners 1 is a fully waterproof/ wind breaker liner and the second is a well insulated thermal liner…
  36. 5th gen 99 VFR800 shock and progressive front springs 3 Oct 2011 17:07 On my 4th Gen I have a 929 rear shock that is revalved/sprung for my weight that works great. A year and a half ago I purchased a hyperpro front end kit which came with progressive springs and 15wt oil. I ran it like…
  37. New Oil Impressions - Also new Gagit I really like 30 Jun 2011 15:47 I have had good luck with Delo 400 as well its cheap and works well, I use it during the winter in Az. I run mobil 1 15w50 usually in my VFR in the summer because I live in the valley here in AZ and lately it has been…
  38. Idle fluctuation K&N is this normal 7 Jun 2011 13:44 The K&N should be fine if its like the other Gens where they have a much smaller opening then stock air filters. But, before the VFR I did have a 2007 R6 that I put a MIVV GP muffler on and it started fluctuating like…
  39. Crashed my 2003 VFR - Now what? (w/Vid + Pics) 26 May 2011 04:40 I was just on that road 2 weeks ago and it is HORRIBLE between the missing pavement and the ridges. I am not far away from you in queen creek and just feel so bad about that happening to a beautiful bike. If you fix the…
  40. Car oil in motorcycles, good or bad? 20 Apr 2011 20:42 Its just fun to argue oil, its just like if a person is talking about politics everyone, everyone has an opinion. We all latch onto these threads out of curiosity even though it is beating a dead horse. But, when you…
  41. Car oil in motorcycles, good or bad? 20 Apr 2011 17:41 [image: View Post]PolarBear, on 20 April 2011 - 12:04 PM, said: Soooooooooooo, since we're on the subject, I was wondering if BLS or anyone more competent than me can shed some light on semi-synthetic oils? Are we…
  42. Car oil in motorcycles, good or bad? 20 Apr 2011 13:52 A good place to look at oil analysis is www.bobistheoilguy.com where people are divided over using car oil, diesel oil, or motorcycle oil. It's interesting to see how all the oils compare and how long some of those…
  43. Dumb question (Not an oil war) 3 Apr 2011 05:16 I am not in search of the perfect oil I just wanted to read some different opinions, thats all. I use either rotella, chevron delo, or mobile 1 delvac 15w40 in my VFR with a BOSCH 3323 filter. I use whatever walmart has…
  44. Dumb question (Not an oil war) 2 Apr 2011 20:33 I've searched this question on google, vfrworld, and this forum. I am wondering if gear driven cams in conjunction with sharing oil with the transmission makes it harder on oil? I was just reading some threads at…
  45. Seat modification questions 28 Mar 2011 18:29 I made my own seat because the stock foam from my fourth gen was in bad shape, plus the corbin is way to hard(even after having it for over a year). I used minicell foam both 2 and 3lbs because it was cheap,…
  46. How Often Do You Clean / Lube Your Chain? 20 Feb 2011 18:39 I am in the same boat as monk and replaced a tired chain/sprockets when I bought my bike. I lube ever 500 and clean it ever 1000 with maxima chain cleaner. Both bottles last forever and so far I've only had to make 1…
  47. Suspension Obsession 17 Feb 2011 18:20 I've dealt with Jaime and he is a very straight forward guy to deal with.. I agree with BR as I had a case of the dry rotted road attacks coming back from a deployment. Jaime built a 929 shock for me and its great for…
  48. Touch up paint 31 Jan 2011 15:10 Once I make it pretty I will post a picture of my handy work.. Right now it looks like chewed gum filling the gap on the bottom lol
  49. Touch up paint 31 Jan 2011 03:42 The area I need to paint is about a quarter inch wide and 2 1/2 inches long. I just want to leave the putty because it really firmed up the rear tail. It's just a shame I caught it late when the right side pretty much…
  50. Touch up paint 30 Jan 2011 22:53 I was able to fix the tail and went hog wild with Epoxy and JB Weld PLastic putty. I was wondering if anyone has a source of touch up paint or the code they used from the touch up paint sold at Autozone. My handy work…
