  1. Any bright ideas? 15 May 2012 14:45 Giant "cat tails" use re-bar as stems and weld the springs to the top, then bind them all loosley and the base and plant them in the yard. Would sway nicley in the breeze too.
  2. Worst oil change ever 6 May 2012 14:56 I'm thinking it's very simple. Have you checked the wiring to your side stand switch? It disables electrical to your fuel pump I think. Cranking with no fuel makes the bike sound differant because you usually hear…

  10. Slippery Seat 22 Sep 2011 14:35 I wear leather pants with my Sargent seat and havn't noticed any grip issues. I evan use some Farmer Paul on it to shine things up and that allowed me to move around a bit more in the twisties. :goofy:

  19. removing rear axle 4 Apr 2011 14:51 The Axel/disk assembly should just slide out the right side as long as you have removed the caliper mounting bolts and rear caliper. Doesn't the axel turn? Or it is seized 100% in the bearings? Edited April 4, 2011 by…

  21. 2006 VFR 800 VTec Jap spec derestrict??? 3 Feb 2011 23:42 That translation was hilarious, well worth the effort. Not sure a jumper connected to the tachometer would be a speed limiter though. I would guess it would be more of a rev limiter, don't you think? At any Case I…
  22. CrossViffer? 9 Nov 2010 19:32 I like the VF-X but it is closer to a VFXR......but then again, do we really want folks to start calling it a Vixxer?

  28. 6th Gen - Blue Connector Ground Fix - How To. 15 Jul 2010 19:37 This post was great back in July 07, but since then hasn't the factory totally made up for it with the safety recall and free fix or replacement? If your bike hasn't been fixed by now by the dealer, don't waste your…
