  2. A real no-no 24 Jun 2012 05:59 It's your starter solenoid. Try tapping the starter with a hammer, as to get the stuck solenoid to engage. [image: View Post]onedowneaster, on 23 June 2012 - 08:36 PM, said: Howdy all, I havent been on any motorcycle…
  3. How much is too much for a pristine 5th Gen 2001 24 May 2012 17:14 1400 or 14000, makes little difference on a 5th gen. Many things will wear out or age, wether the bike is running or not. But if the bike looked like new, and garage kept, with 1400 miles, I'd pay $5k. If only for that…

  6. Power Commander: Worth the expense? 12 Mar 2012 16:55 I put a PC5 and AutoTune on my Y2K about a month ago. I'd say it's 100% worth it! Super smooth mid range and more power. The big change is when your cruising around and go to WOT, and Bam! it go's like a wiped wild…
  7. About time I did something.. 1 Mar 2012 00:33 I did it as well, but I made a plate light, by cutting a hole in the tail light and gluing a piece of clear lens over it. It's held up well for about 2 years, and no leaks. Attached Images [image: Tail light lens-1.jpg]
  8. FUMOTO Valve installed. 23 Feb 2012 15:03 But just think of all of the prestige you'll receive from your friends and family, when they see the Gold colored valve on your bike! but you still need to change the oil filter and all...so might as well do it right.…

  10. FUMOTO Valve installed. 19 Feb 2012 16:57 The pipes are are much lower then the Fumoto valve. And yes, I myself would never strip an oil drain, but I got this bike with 30k miles and there is evidence of over torque in the past. And non heat treated Aluminum…

  17. Switched from K&N to PiperCross. 21 Jan 2012 05:08 I was surprise by the dirt. I noticed a little dirt on my PickUp, but I'd let it go about a year before cleaning. I been using K&N for at least 20 years. But with the VFR, I'd like to keep the intakes as clean as…
  18. Switched from K&N to PiperCross. 21 Jan 2012 03:45 Hi all, I went to clean my K&N air filter, and found a truck load of dirt in my venturies. The K&N when held up to the sun, looks like swiss cheese. This is the first time I've removed it, and I used the K&N…

  38. Very nice quality battery for little money! 5 Dec 2009 22:29 Cheap batteries are just that. If you have to modify parts to fit a cheap battery, no thanks. I use to feel this way as well, but lately I've seen more and more of the TopDog(Yuasa) fail. The Yuasa I installed was made…
  39. Very nice quality battery for little money! 5 Dec 2009 22:13 I'm trying to remember what the battery cable ends look like; but I'm thinking maybe they could have been turned upside down for use on this battery? Yep, upside down would work but the ground cable is in bad shape so I…
  40. Very nice quality battery for little money! 5 Dec 2009 14:29 I guess the biggest question is how LONG these low cost batteries will last, but you can buy3-4 of them for the price of a Yulsa. :fing02: Ebay seller batterygeek1 is great and carries sealed (AGM?)sub $30 to Yulsa…
