All 34- Australian MCN reporting Honda V4 Dual Sport for 2012 Yes it will never see the light of day in the US, actually there has not been a single bike from honda brought to the us of any interest to me except the vfr(5th gen) and the bird in the last 10 years), I like the 7th…
- I know what happened, but why? more likely Dirty switch contacts.
- RR Failure Again is there any cure for this? Well I tested all the components, and thanks to a faulty voltmeter lead(ugh!!!) I sprung for a new RR, and stator.... Well after the new parts showed i checked the new stator just for good meaure, and that is when I…
- RR Failure Again is there any cure for this? My re-wire was with 10 or 12 gauge all the way across the charging system with bullet connectors between the RR and the Stator(the rest was soldered and heat shrinked). the wire to the battery was 8 ga. I am looking…
- RR Failure Again is there any cure for this? I forgot to mention the last one is relocated, and I have clear ducted air flow to it, I am looking into the R1 option, my irretation is that the normal fixes are not working. You know my 72 gt750 has 50k on the clock…
- RR Failure Again is there any cure for this? OK I was stranded again today, no charging again (98 with about 36k on the clock) Here is the list of what I have done in the last 5,000 mi. I am running large wireing( new connectors were done at this point just…
- Baileyrock Crashes At Nashville Superspeedway Kevin You're in the best hands in the world, and they will fix you up right! They literally saved my life twice, and if I had been at any other hospital in this whole country I would not have been able to to meet you…
- Valve Cover Oil Leak? just do not drop any of the o-rings, not a bad job, but taking all the plastic off takes a while. remember the magic word yammabond it will forgive you.
- How Not To Group Ride I thought you may like this A little insight? check the vids I think the cause is pretty clear. http://www.brothersp...rs-speed-videos
- How Not To Group Ride It is kind of odd it wasn't a sportbike group, we had one on I-40 just about 8 weeks back that took out 13-14 bikes (the were traveling much faster I'd bet.) Did you catch this in the story "BROTHER SPEED M/C is a club…
- Titanium Connecting Rods, Oh My! (update 12/01/12) Hope ya heal quick, I dodged this bullet when I got plastered head on by a bmw k1200gt last year (flat land squids showing off), But if the docs let you keep the hardware, I'll pay the shipping for the Ti to use in a…
- What Is This Apparantly Optional Hole? pfetzer valve adjustment hole.
- Just Some Random Pictures I Took Tonight... I really like the voltage indicator, very nice and clean and unobtrusive!
- Front Wheel Lock Up even clean dry road can be slick, in Florida they use coral for some of the roads, and some places in the us that get too much limestone in the asphault they can be very slick, even when perfectly dry. These components…
- Omg! *this* Is The New Vfr?! I like the Idea of making a PC for motorcyclists, but this bike is about 100lbs. overweight (probably 50 of that is the transplant god awful Dn-01 exhaust...UGH!!!!!) We really need some light mid bore STs. I built with…

- My Wife Took My Vfr For A Spin... sv-650, or the gladius (it is just a little shorter than the sv), as a bike to enjoy all the time it smokes all the il4 600's.
- Anyone Tried The Full Plastic Kits Of Ebay? I just helped a guy I met a few months ago (laid off and time to kill), fit a set to his cbr900rr, (these were un painted, he is going to have the paint done here) I cannot say any thing about the quality of their…
- Round Tires Rock I just got new skins too, better than sex, I can't afford PPs right now being broke and out of work they would break me at 2 sets a month, but I am a lardass :( , and I guess push a little. The guy that had my 98 before…
- Vfr Insurace (new Member/owner) I have to add a little to this thread beyond what I pay. I am with safeco, and have full coverage, on a '06 strom, '06 breva 1100, 98vfr, 650 triumph tiger 1970 and liability on 3 xs650 yammies, a gs 250 suzuki. I pay…
- Comparison Of Vfr800 To Cb919? there were some bikini, fairings that would hep out the 919 a ton, I used the large national smoked flyscreen on mine and if you mount it right it will make most of the wind hit shoulders and up and really cuts the…
- Comparison Of Vfr800 To Cb919? I had the early model '03 919, have you ridden a Bandit? same handling as a bandit, but slower. I have a fifth gen vfr now and it a far superior handler and is faster on the top end than the 919 was. ( I have revalved…
- Zumo 550 Security Screw silly me I just got a $1 small screw driver from the checkout at autozone, and notched it with a dremel (it lives in the tank bag), ps that little pocket in the zumo case works well for keeping that little factory…
- Corporate Quote On 2010 V4 "Had the 6th gen VFR and went to Aprilia Tuono and love the Aprilia. It's true something about Italian bikes that give them kinda soul. Everytime I get back from a ride that Tuonno makes me smile and surprises me in a…
- Is This Tire Cupping Or Just Wear? "MOST of us also wear the centers more because unlike WEEKEND warriors we commute on them as well! EDIT: or trailer to the twisties..." [/quote] Ahmen Brother :excl: :biggrin: espically the last bit!!!! or we are a…
- Is This Tire Cupping Or Just Wear? pilot powers, I wish I was rich so I could change tires every 2.5 weeks, that is just about how long pps last for me on the street. a 1,200mi back tire and a 1,800mi front just do not cut it. :angry:
- Is This Tire Cupping Or Just Wear? [image: View Post]pserve, on Apr 5 2009, 11:03 PM, said: 36 psi & yes, 11K I figured it's about time for a new one. The rear is a BT021, new last year. Looks like another BT021 would be ~$110. I set the light up so that…
- Scorpion Syncs, Inital Impressions I just mounted a set of scorpion syncs, actually about 1,000mi back. I know this may seem like an odd choice but after riding several bikes that use them as standard (ducati, Buell) I thought I'd try them out. grip, is…
- Bridgestones a rear with 1 inside patch over a mushroom plug is ok (maybe 2 spaced well apart in a tube tire only), never never a front sorry. this is only for commuting or general use if you push at all forget a patch on a tubeless.
- Oil Change just go buy a channel lock, oil filter pliers about $12 at home depot no filter stands a chance. proper tools make life easy and the results good, ps the new honda filter for the fifth gen will stick if your not careful!
- Thinking Of Getting Out Of Motorcycling I walked away from this head on this spring and really only thought about how mad I was loosing the bike ( a beemer guy that had no MC liscense hit me head on after blowing a turn and crossing the line), I never thought…
- Why A Torque Wrench Is Worth The Money.... here is how to fix this one, cut off the stud flush to the bracket then drill out the head of the stud to the drill dia for the replacement stud, and tap the left over stud head for the stud thread then locktite only…
- How Much Fork Fluid Do I Need don't use atf to flush, it is pretty heavy, use some of the lightest cheapest fork oil instead if you think you must flush it out. If there is much to flush you have a bigger problem that needs attention, like bad…
