All 25- Chain and Sprocket Time - Opinions That's exactly the kit I put on my VFR last year. Pretty sure I used that seller too. Everything was fine except that I messed up my first try riveting the master link and cracked the rivets. Had to order a replacement…
- So what's your MPG??? 46 mpg on my '95...pretty much no matter how I ride it. I do the calculation every time I get gas, and it's always 46.xx. *shrug*
- My '95 rides like crap. Help... Well, d'oh. Guess I'll start by replacing the fork oil again with some 5w! Any suggestions for the shagged rear shock?
- My '95 rides like crap. Help... I changed the fork oil about a year and a half ago (almost due to do that again) and set the sag properly for my weight at the time. That helped quite a bit...but... The bike still has a pretty harsh ride, and at higher…
- mounting question for staintune high mount on 4th gen Is it OK if this particular exhaust is mounted using only the rear mount that attaches to the subframe with the little metal strap? (and obviously at the collector joint) I can't get both the rear mount and the…
- Valve check on a 4th gen -- what do I need? Yes thank you! Stupid question: Can you stack shims to build the thickness you need or do you have to use a single shim at the correct thickness?
- Valve check on a 4th gen -- what do I need? Spark plugs! How could I forget that one. What plugs should I use?
- Valve check on a 4th gen -- what do I need? About to hit 19K on my 4th gen and she's not running as smoothly as she used to so I figure it's time to give those valves a peak and sync the carbs. For the valve check, I want to get new valve cover gaskets as well as…
- Post a Pic of Your 4th Gen! My '95: Now has a rear seat cowl on it. Otherwise stock except for a nice Yamaha R1 mosfet R/R and VFRness. Attached thumbnail(s) [image: Attached Image: VFR crest.JPG]

- Why is my chain still good at almost 18K miles? Still have the factory chain on my '95 (as far as I know...really doesn't appear to ever have been changed) and the bike has 17.8K on it now. I bought the bike with 12K on it. I lube it with Maxima chain wax every 500…

- loose shift lever Well since I'm home sick today I got out to the garage for a look-see. Took it off, cleaned the hell out of the shifter spindle, pedal and bolt and put everything back together. Good as new now. I think there was so…
- loose shift lever Thanks Monk...not sure how I missed that one. [image: View Post]V4 Rosso, on 15 September 2010 - 12:33 PM, said: What Monks says, only I think it is a M6 bolt. the torque values he gave are based on the hex size not the…
- loose shift lever Anybody got the torque spec for the shift lever pinch bolt? I just checked the shop manual as well as searched this site and the internet for about 30 minutes and I can't find anything. The shop manual has clear…
- loose shift lever Thanks fellahs. I'll check it out this weekend when I have some time.
- loose shift lever The shift lever on my '95 is a bit loose on the shaft. The pinch bolt holding the lever to the shaft is as tight as I dare yet the shift lever can slide in and out on the shaft a little bit, maybe about 1/16" (or ~1.5mm…

- Which wire is the brake light? I already installed one of these on my lil' Ninja but I want to put one on the VFR as well. Can anyone tell me which color wire/which wire is the brake light sender? 1995 Thanks
- Can't get a definitive answer! Great info guys thanks! I appreciate the vids too. I have not depaired my bike and it does pop mildly on the overrun with the stock exhaust. I already knew that was because of the air injection. Frankly, I love the…
- Can't get a definitive answer! I've been toying with the idea of putting a slip-on exhaust on my '95. Looks like Two Brothers is the only mfr still making new slip-on units for these bikes. I can't get a straight answer if the bike will need a rejet…
- Sticky turn signal switch belated update: I got the switch housing apart and cleaned all the gunk out of the switch first with WD40 and then after I had drained/wiped up as much of the WD as I could get to, I blasted the whole pod out with…
- Sticky turn signal switch The PO of my '95 kept it outside, though he did keep it covered all the time. As a result, certain things gummed up a bit, especially a lot of the switch gear. The turn signal switch is fairly stiff to move and takes a…
