Last 50 of 114- Calling Dimitri - Thread Un-Jack. from people who own those bikes I was told that because of the age and ease of importing 25+ year old bikes the prices on them are dropping in US
- (Rebuilt) 1000R Forks Slamming Into Something Hard On Full Compression Silly question, how much oil did you pit in?
- Adding Superbike Bars To Your Bike Here's my 2¢, installing the bars on my Hawk, also switching to 1000RR forks, top triple isn't flat and paper thin, luckily there is a guy who likes to make things... like all new triple! [image:…
- Calling Dimitri - Thread Un-Jack. Never having ridden one (have not found a fool that will trust me with their baby) all I know they are sublime handling machines, small, light, well suited for short people like me, and redline so high that centrifugal…
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression MC19.... drool....
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression Kel Dmitry Sorry OP, thread jacking is over, but that NSR is sooo lovely. I repent!
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression Captain 80s "Dmitry, I've seen your resurrected NSR's and RG's, you are not an average Joe. A disassembled carb rack is in good hands over there." Can someone direct me to where I might see as well? I brought both bikes…
- Official 13Th Annual Texasmac Event Thread 2016 Rt 28 from 74 to Stecoah is a known speed-trap city, also towards the Overlook on the Gap there is a stretch called "Radar Straight" because it's a known speed trap spot, other than that...
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression Kel Carbs are not difficult at all, just be organized. Read this. ***DO NOT remove the aluminum plate that holds the 4 carbs together. Kel, you my hero! that is an awesome link, wish I had seen it earlier, like few…
- 83 V45 (750) Interceptor Compression compression difference is a bit too much for just carb cleaning, chances are you have heavy carbon build up on the valves. I would do the valve cleaning first, there is this product Yamaha sells, pretty sure it's this,…
- Official 13Th Annual Texasmac Event Thread 2016 Wish this event was in early May, been trying to figure out how to do this for years, but I get really busy May-June and closest I ever made it was having to leave the area Saturday, just before everyone arrives Same as…
- Tire Plug -> Patch Experience Got a drywall screw in a brand new tire 180 miles in to 1000+ mile weekend, so I plugged it, did 1000 miles loaded 2-up, no issues, almost forgot about it 2 days later when I came back caught a nail in the same tire…
- No Signals, Horn Or Brake Light, Not The Fuse found couple different diagrams, one of them suggests it's all on the same fuse, so trace the wire out of fuse box and to the switch pod and check power, probably easier to see if you have power to the brake light…
- No Signals, Horn Or Brake Light, Not The Fuse Missing ground would make the marker turn off when blinker is on. I'd look for a green ground wire that should be attached to the frame with a screw, there are few of them on the harness, one may be missing or sitting…
- Confirmed...dragon Virgin, May 2 And 3. My limited experience with The Gap is to avoid it Friday through Sunday at all costs, only clear run I got on the weekend was at dawn. While you down there hit all the other roads like Cherohala and BRP, less traffic…
- How To Wheelie Vfr 800 Besides the "style" which can be written off to personal preferences, there is something else to consider: damage you doing to the bike. I never put the chain through the cases, but I remember growing up many friends…
- How To Wheelie Vfr 800 DannyMoto Let me give you some tips... 1. Don't ever power-wheelie. The lack of control you have is the danger here. You may get it up, but it's a slow climb and it can be wobbly. 2. Clutch-up every time. Really? I…
- How To Wheelie Vfr 800 MVinOZ You know what they say about riding scooters :goofy: They are more fun than fat chicks and I don't care if anyone sees me ;)
- How To Wheelie Vfr 800 years ago I watched a guy on brand new red 4th gen wheelie it from the toll booth on I-93 (coming back from Laconia) and he carried it out of sight, looked effortless and impressive...
- Filing A Clutch Basket? Crf450R File all you want but the bigger problem is not the ridges between plates but the gap between pates and the basket. Larger the gap more pounding the basket takes, the faster it wears. Very common issue on Ducati dry…
- How To Wheelie Vfr 800 CandyRedRC46 Dmitry I will only say that almost anything can be wheelied and VFR is not the best bike to learn on. It took me about 4 or 5 years. I don't know if it was just seat time or mods. Probably a combination of…
- Tom's Vf1000F Revival Tom, thank's for the offer! I'll be up next week, will PM for address and time! BTW, this is what I do on weekends ... [image: IMG_20120830_134132.jpg]
- Tom's Vf1000F Revival Epic thread, would love to see the shop! (I'm only 40 minutes South) Kel can vouch for me, I will not touch a thing :wink:

- 8th Gen? RC213V slated for production in 2014 somehow I think it will be than just a replica, engine will probably be based on CRT platform which may resemble VFR1200 but will be much more developed http://www.motorcycl...2-honda-rc213v/

- Alternative to Aerostitch Roadcrafter? I got a Tourmaster Centurion last fall, just before a road trip that turns rainy every year. It was cheap (last years model with all discounts came up to just over $300) and they had it in stock so being short on time…

- How High Have You Gone My Triumph used to hit ludicrus speeds, 175 mph doing through the city, only problem the speed sensor picks up from the countershaft like most modern bikes so in reality I never been over 135 GPS confirmed MPH on it…
- Would you buy it for $1500? sounds like a scam to me, motor went Bang! and he "lost" the key...
- Switched from K&N to PiperCross. I got PipeCross in my Ducati, it was the only aftermarket option for replacing stock filters *in stock locations* No complaints, no notable improvements either. I don't want to start a pissing contest by IMHO Valention…

- Opinions on good riding gear Everyone has the favorite gear, many here seem to get lot's of use out of it unlike some other forums... A friend I ride with has an Aerostitch, actually couple of them, Darien and Roadcrafter, both at least decade old…

- OFF TOPIC CONTENT - communication devices while driving - Closed They are gonna have hard time enforcing it, will have to rip out all the built in BlueTooth gadgets that come with new cars, like the ones able to read you a text message you just received. How can they even prove that…
- TT3D: Closer to the Edge Movie My Mac's pre-installed DVD software does not play out of region disks, it asked me once what region I was in and warned that it can't be changed again. VLC will play anything! http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
- Project 85 VF1000R Veefer800Canuck Maybe take the least ugly cam and have it welded, reground and hardened by Shadbolt, Webcam, Colt Cams or other??? What does it cost? I was ignoring this option as it seemed mine was a freak departure…
- Project 85 VF1000R Before you go nuts with upgrades adjust the valves and check the cams, I just got a whole new motor cause my cam was boned (posted pics earlier) the new motor has similar issue with same rear exhaust cam. Also all the…
- 40,000 great miles and then this.... I lost front end once at the end of front straight at Loudon, touched the brakes and it was gone (DOT tire in the rain) best guess I went down at around 90mph (reach about 110 in the dry) slid easily 200' in the wet,…
- 40,000 great miles and then this.... Glad to hear you OK, sounds like a nasty spill. I never walked away form a highside (3 that I remember, all ended in the hospital) When insurance comes to take a look at the bike make sure to show them every last piece…
- VF1000R wheel weight it is 16"
- Valve clearance, dealers refuses to check Unless it's a Ducati nothing bad gonna happen if you don't check the valves
- Project 85 VF1000R Can't recall what it said on the box but when I got sprockets for my 1KR there was a long list of Honda bikes that they fit. Did both sprockets and chain at same time. Check the valve clearance and cams while you have…
- Carrozzeria Alu Wheel Set: Vfr800 SAFE-T They never made a set for the VFR. They just used an F4 front wheel and a wider 6.0" Ducati rear wheel coupled with an adapter to offset it to clear the VFR's rear caliper and still be centred on the swingarm. I…
