Last 50 of 130- What type of riding do you use your VFR for? 20% Touring, 80 Commuting, dodging bullets in really tight streets, so filtering is a pain. I was also wondering if I'm on the overkill side using Honda's 90's Technical marvel and sportouring flagship to just go to…
- Yes I'm doing fork service myself. Yes I got stuck, help separating them? 18 hours ago, Dutchy When polishing the stanchions donot rub lengthwise but sideways. U can inspect the bushes for wear and decide if you want/need to replace. New ones will not hinder reinstalling. I believe the bushes…
- Yes I'm doing fork service myself. Yes I got stuck, help separating them? 6 hours ago, M1962 Then it is just like in the video. Repeatedly push and pull the leg into the slider making sure you go as far out as you can. You'll feel resistance and that will be the bushes inside banging on a lip…

- Yes I'm doing fork service myself. Yes I got stuck, help separating them? Hello, I rather think I'm not the only one who's had this problem. I need to replace leaking fork seals, got this far (pic), and can't separate the fork tubes. I saw several how-to videos, one linked here, (minute 7.10)…
- Bit of favor to ask, would owners of the 5th gen send pictures of the head serial number? burnes45, 9/7/2018 at 6:55 PM A friend of mines Farther owned a salvage yard and saved the titles and vin plates for all the VW bugs and buses.

- Bit of favor to ask, would owners of the 5th gen send pictures of the head serial number? Cogswell, 8/29/2018 at 11:08 PM What about the sticker on the side of the frame - that must match the stamped set on the steering head - very difficult to replicate. I can't see how they could think that someone's…
- Bit of favor to ask, would owners of the 5th gen send pictures of the head serial number? Hi all, this good friend gets stopped and the cops really insist that the VIN on the steering head has been done over. The reason they suspect is that the rectangle around the numbers is shiny, seems to have been…

- Help With A Brake Bolt, Rear Caliper, 14Mm Head. Terry That bolt, and it's mate on the other end of the calliper, are meant to allow the calliper to slide side to side. The fact that you've got uneven pad wear tells me your sliding mounts are not moving freely and…
- Help With A Brake Bolt, Rear Caliper, 14Mm Head. [image: post-18314-0-79647300-1457323052.jpg] Found an old pic of the spot from when I last serviced the rear brakes. (Had changed them to Ferodos back then, there's now only 1mm of pad left in the cylinder-side shoe.…

- Help With A Brake Bolt, Rear Caliper, 14Mm Head. Terry " the thread will be only on the end nearest the bolt head, after that the rest of the bolt is smooth and slightly waisted to hold some grease. I'm guessing that the back end is badly corroded and fouling the…
- Help With A Brake Bolt, Rear Caliper, 14Mm Head. Hello!, briefly; I tried removing the one bolt that's at the top of the caliper. (not the 12mm or the larger one at the left). It's a 14mm bolt that I believe it's the only one holding the caliper to the suspension. It…

- Favor To Ask; 4Th Gen Seat Latch Parts Picture. Thanks for taking that, but it's different. Attaching mine here. The part missing is the slider pin that goes in the middle. It's set against the left-side by a spring, and pulled by the cable that would be on the…

- Fan Control - Choose To Turn Fan On Or Off Or Allow The Bike To Control I have a manual override on my 4th. gen. And also had it on my previous, a 3rd. gen. Simply to prevent it getting too hot in stop-go traffic. Never had any issues with the fan getting proper power at idle. Like others…

- The Official Oil Thread BusyLittleShop As you can see the viscosity of 125 is too thick to lubricate your engine properly during warm up and the viscosity of 17.4 builds up too much pressure during operating temps... a better choice would be…
