  1. Chain and Sprocket Time - Opinions 7 May 2012 23:56 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…
  2. So what's your MPG??? 25 Mar 2012 18:16 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*
  3. My '95 rides like crap. Help... 23 Mar 2012 12:53 Well, d'oh. Guess I'll start by replacing the fork oil again with some 5w! Any suggestions for the shagged rear shock?
  4. My '95 rides like crap. Help... 22 Mar 2012 13:17 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…
  5. mounting question for staintune high mount on 4th gen 7 Mar 2012 03:03 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…
  6. Valve check on a 4th gen -- what do I need? 6 Feb 2011 17:43 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?
  7. Valve check on a 4th gen -- what do I need? 2 Feb 2011 15:15 Spark plugs! How could I forget that one. What plugs should I use?
  8. Valve check on a 4th gen -- what do I need? 1 Feb 2011 20:47 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…
  9. Post a Pic of Your 4th Gen! 2 Jan 2011 18:42 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]

  12. Why is my chain still good at almost 18K miles? 5 Oct 2010 23:38 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…

  14. loose shift lever 15 Sep 2010 20:05 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…
  15. loose shift lever 15 Sep 2010 18:57 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…
  16. loose shift lever 15 Sep 2010 16:27 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…
  17. loose shift lever 14 Sep 2010 22:33 Thanks fellahs. I'll check it out this weekend when I have some time.
  18. loose shift lever 14 Sep 2010 01:08 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…

  20. Which wire is the brake light? 6 Sep 2010 00:24 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
  21. Can't get a definitive answer! 7 Feb 2010 02:15 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…
  22. Can't get a definitive answer! 6 Feb 2010 19:16 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…
  23. Sticky turn signal switch 31 Dec 2009 00:23 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…
  24. Sticky turn signal switch 25 Nov 2009 14:00 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…
