All 25- OEM Windscreen Deflector with Aftermarket Windscreen? I have the Zero Gravity Smoke "Touring" screen, is a few inches higher than stock and it's definitely better than the stock screen for buffeting etc..., throws the wind a bit higher, doesn't totally eliminate the…
- 23K+ Km And A Possible Dct Failure? Ouch....that's a decent sized dent in the back rim you have there..! :blush: Smaller one on the front too...pot hole...dog....cattle..!..?? Smithy.
- Abs Light Flashing Constantly; Pulsing Through Front Brake Lever There's a gap spec between the pickup sensors and each pulser ring - I don't have a gen 7 manual, but that's relatively easy to check if you can find the spec. Good thought...!
- Abs Light Flashing Constantly; Pulsing Through Front Brake Lever If your ABS light is coming on, It may be that the ABS system thinks the two wheels are turning at different speeds....have a good look at the ABS rings on each wheel, also check the wiring to each ABS sensor and their…
- Maintanance Plan For My Vfr? Well, the DCT is a very sophisticated piece. Also, the fairings cost a small mint. I don't know of many DCT's that have failed..if any on this forum.....some of them may play up a bit due to electronic/sensor issues,…
- Pirelli Angel ST Tires??? What pipe do you have fitted?...looks pretty good, are you able to fit the panniers with the pipe on, or does it touch the heat shield?? Cheers, Smithy.
- Pirelli Angel ST Tires??? I fitted a set of Pirelli Angel ST's about 7000km ago, they still have possibly ~3-4000km left. They make the roadsmarts look fairly poor by comparison, The Angels just stick in all conditions. I found the Roadsmarts ok…
- Easy one...clutch oil filter change. Dutchgixxer 6 Nm Dutch is correct....6Nm it is. These are only small 6mm x 1mm pitch bolts in aluminium. Cheers, Smithy.
- Just got my 2010 VFR1200 and I have a few questions. Grandall writes: "I will keep and eye on the throttle cables, I wouldn't want the throttle hanging at all on the bike. I'm going to take a trip to The Tail of The Dragon next weekend, so I'll have a lot more to report…
- Push starting a VFR1200F sucks Luckily you had a manual gearbox, those of us with the DCT would've been in trouble, I'm guessing the slipper clutch didn't slip too much then.!! Cheers, Smithy
- Disabling ABS Hayden, Instead of disabling the ABS system, it may be possible to "trick" the system into thinking it is still working normally. Remove the front ABS sensor from the front wheel and using a "Y" connector, you can…
- Power Commander issue? Phobe is correct, it's pretty important to get the throttle position calibration right to get the best out of the system. I have the Two-Brothers Juice-Box Pro and it uses the same software and maps as the PC-V, in the…
- Two Brothers Zorst and Juice Box Pro..! stinkyfinger, on 14 July 2011 - 01:11 AM, said: Yup, I'm one of 'em. So, WTF is a Zorst? Is that Aussie for Muffler? Most certainly....short for "exZorst" :biggrin: .....my apologies for any miss-understanding :cool:…
- Two Brothers Zorst and Juice Box Pro..! Hi All, Just finished fitting up the Juice Box Pro and Two Brothers M5 Carbon slip-on late last night and rode the bike to work this morning. I mainly did this mod to help with the low rpm surging and generally poor…

- Going VFR1200F to VFR1200 DCT??? [/quote] I'd like to get a chance to demo ride one, but I think I'd feel like I'm giving up too much control to the computer. I know in cars, I hate regular automatics, I'm not really okay with the automatics with a…
- The Lazy Windscreen Removal method Great work fotodadi, Methinks the moderators should make this a "Sticky" so it doesn't get lost in the future. Cheers, Smithy. Edited February 24, 2011 by ausmithy

- Rear seat cowl. Hi All, Does anybody know if there are any signs of an aftermarket rear seat cowl surfacing in the not too distant future?? I'd definitely like to get hold of one if they ever become available. Cheers, Smithy.
