- Fork oil amount or level from top of fork? I installed a set of Race Tech springs yesterday and ran into an issue. After emptying the old oil and flushing with a solvent, I then filled the slider, fully compressed, spring out, with the recommended max fluid…

- My 86 VFR750F Tom, you never cease to amaze! Beautiful machines with so much attention to detail. I decided this winter to take advantage of winter shop rates and take my 900F in for engine work. Will be doing valve seals and once…
- What coolant are you running? I use "MoCool". Seems to work. https://www.motul.com/us/en-US/products/mocool These bikes run hot, period.
- Joint Relief +1 for BusyLittleShop lowering pegs. Best upgrade of all the ones I've made for the VFR. Completely changed the comfort of the bike and improved the riding position.
- Fall is almost done and the days are numbered... Beauty shot, but scary.
- Fall is almost done and the days are numbered... 8 hours ago, Dutchy looks like balmy weather still out there...... Remember the bow wave our bikes created on the Lekdijk? Now THAT does spell end of season :goofy: The amount of rain that day set the standard for how I…

- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? So what's the plan? I'm making the rationale decision and going 600 route. I need to keep costs I'm check. As spring approaches I expect that used bike inventory will increase. For my budget, based on what I see out…
- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? [/quote] :beer: Key point is, no matter what, get to the track. [/quote] You got that right. My beautiful and thoughtful wife bought me a track day for Christmas. Never was the saying "it's the thought that counts" more…
- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? So many ways to go with this question. My take is that you track anything that you can fully except crashing and stay within the expendable income range. That can mean such different things to different people. If your…
- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? Hell you can pick up a 6th gen for the same or less money especially if you bought a dropped one! :fing02: Not likely anywhere around Toronto, but an interesting thought. I'd have to try to find something in the U.S.
- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? "I suggest you take that $2500 budget and put good suspension on your VFR and get a set of used or Chinese bodywork to install on your bike for the occasional track day." That's an interesting thought. It's just that…
- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? I'll tell you what Leon, you send me a plane ticket and I'll pick up the bodywork;) ---David
- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? Bike is stock. Was off the road for 3 years prior to this past summer. Current owner rides a Harley. Bought the bike from a friend, got it back on the road but says it's too fast for him. ---David
- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? Here's a pic. Asking $3500. 26,000 kms. My budget going into this was $2500. Attached Images [image: image.jpg]
- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? douglasthcook has been on Assen, Spa and the Nurburgring with his (granted) modified 4th gen. Come on! stand out from the crowd with their stinky i-4's!!!! :goofy: As for riding in the rain, you donot need specialised…

- Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? Hi All, Interested in some feedback on whether a '97 VFR with 26k km's would make a good (recreational, not racing) track bike. I have a 6th gen and I've been looking to spend around $2,500 for a used CBR or R6 to use 2…
- Should I Stop Riding After Noticing The Oil Level Is Over The Maximum? fabio222 You can always just loosen the sump nut and let some come out there, then retighten to torque. I know you should use a new washer but you'll be fine. +1. Been there, done that. If you let too much out, just add…
- Canadian Suppliers For Tires? Cycle Improvements in Waterloo is great. I live in Toronto but take my bike there. Owner James Hunt is excellent.0 ---David
- 6Th Gen 120/60 Front Tire? I'm confused with your thinking here, guys. The "60" or "70" is the aspect ratio. A 60 would be shorter than the 70 (so yes having a similar effect as raising the forks), and therefore provide a flatter surface and less…
- '85 Vf1000R For Sale In My Town Hey Tom - Wout has one (maybe more) of these. He would know about mileage. Looks awesome in the pics. ---David

- Buying A Used Zumo 550 - Is Lifetime Maps "transferable"? Thank you fellas. I knew my dutch friends would chime in: [image: Schoonhoven-20121003-00039.jpg] I suspected that I may have to get the owners login info. I'll make sure I do this when I get the unit. Great idea about…
- Buying A Used Zumo 550 - Is Lifetime Maps "transferable"? Hi all - looking for some advice from the GPS experts here. I'm going to buy a Garmin Zumo 550 from its current owner and I want to know if the lifetime maps feature is transferable to me? Do I simply register the unit…
- 6th gen camping/road trip into Canada Great pics and video. Somebody knows what they're doing with a camera. This one's on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing.
- Chain cleaning, what's your regimen? I use WTK chain cleaner about twice a year.. Spray on, wait for 5 mins then spray off with water. It works great. I'll use a brush before rinsing for more grimy spots. You can see a picture of it here:…
- Hard bag paint scheme. Opinions please! I have a white 06 and I got sidecases that were painted in the 06 black colour. I think this combination looks great (a white bike with white bags looks like a police bike - IMHO). My advice is to select a single…
- Need a little ADVICE with mods for 6 gen. 1. Sargent seat is great 2. Peg Lowering blocks - way better for more relaxed ride 3. Lobster's mirror extenders - way more rear view 4. Tightwad's fuse panel - great for managing accessories 5. Givi touring windscreen…
- Does 5th gen Pyramid Fender hugger fit a 6th gen? The title says it all. I wish I could be more specific with model #'s but all I know is that it's a Pyramid Rear Fender Hugger off a 5th gen bike. Does anyone know if it will fit my 6th gen? Thanks in advance. ---David
- '06 worth the wait for a new buyer? I bought an 06 to address all of the concerns you mentioned. I believe the vtec thing is quite subjective, but the electonic/charging issues are not. You can find many, many posts on this site that provide tremendous…

- looking for small top case/back rest I have a similar issue. I've had the Hepco and Becker Journey 40 litre topcase on another bike and it is an excellent piece and very well made. I've been looking at the SHAD set ups. They are a little more economical…
- 2010-11 Winter Mods/Maintenance Thread My mechanic (not because I'm lazy; just don't have the know-how): Changed brake fluid, clutch fluid, cut down rear brake pushrod to lower brake pedal and accomodate BLS lowering blocks. Me: Change coolant, oil and…
- Italian Red with black front fender? I like it. I like Veefer800Canuck's too. I think his works because he has more black accents (e.g. lettering) on the bike.

- Looking for a top case and rack I would look at the hepco and becker journey 42 litre topcase and rack for the vfr (Part Number: 650.928 01 01). The quality is excellent; I like the profile for the bike and it's big enough to hold my medium shoei…
- Heating / Cooling I'm in Toronto and I think our climate is similar to yours (well, you may be a little colder in the winter). The operating temps you noted are exactly what I experience and I think they are in the normal range.
- Need some quick advice I would wait for another bike for sale. If the bike was dropped a couple of times, barely ridden and not taken in for the bike's most popular recall issue it would concern me about how the bike was maintained over the…
