  1. How to save worn heated hand grips without replacing entirely 27 Sep 2016 01:23 I have "complete" heated hand grips, installed by the previous owner. The throttle grip is worn almost down to the throttle cylinder in some parts. Since these are "all in one" heated hand grips (the grip and heat…
  2. 97 VFR won't run at idle without choke engaged 18 Apr 2012 13:53 auggius Good to hear. I'm a bit carbophobic too. Thankfully my VFR has started up each spring. Actually a few years ago it didn't even though it was winterized with fuel stabilizer. But fresh gas solved that. Ironically…
  3. 97 VFR won't run at idle without choke engaged 15 Apr 2012 05:12 karhawk mine did the same thing after sitting for a year and a half, I drained all old gas and filled up with premium, I also sprayed carb cleaner straight in to all the venturies while running, revving the engine while…

  7. Shorai Lithium Battery 22 Mar 2012 13:56 kaldek pwens Any risk or considerations before putting one of these Lithium batteries in a 4th gen VFR? (1997 VFR750 - i.e. carbs not FI) No, just use it as you would a normal lead acid battery. You seriously don't need…
  8. Shorai Lithium Battery 22 Mar 2012 01:47 Any risk or considerations before putting one of these Lithium batteries in a 4th gen VFR? (1997 VFR750 - i.e. carbs not FI) I'm about to pull the trigger on the Shorai 18 Amp Hour (now back in stock at batterystuff.com…
  9. Going to a Lithium Battery on my 1997 VFR750 22 Mar 2012 01:35 Tired of poor lifetimes and painful cranks with lead acid batteries, I'm finally going to make the switch this season to a Lithium Based. I've read about a lot of modern VFR model owners going with Lithium (read: fuel…
