- 6th Gen brake bleed issue I got my bike last August, so I haven't had the privilege of bleeding the brakes yet. However, every time I see a thread on bleeding VFR brakes there seems to be a lot of confusion......for us noobs I should say. Is…

- Questions about VFR's I came over to the VFR from a Ninja 650, and pretty much had the same concerns as you. Don't worry at all about the weight difference! I am so glad I made the move, and actually embrace the heavier VFR as it is more…

- Two Bros M2 VALE System w/OEM hardbags When I received my bike two weeks agao, it had the TB carbon exhaust on it. I rode it for a week, and the absence of the heat shield didn't bother me. I now have the stock system on it (with no heat shield...waiting…
