All 42- My 95 v4 fighter project Looks incredible! Make me alllllmost consider trying this with mine. I think I'll wait until the plastics are no good on mine.
- How do you clean your wheels? I should wash my bike. It's filthy! Guess my son and I have some work to do! I usually use Goo-Gone for the lube splatter (which is ALL over the swing arm and Wheel. Maybe I should lube first, ride, THEN wash? I dunnu.…
- garmin suction to winscreen [image: View Post]crazybrother, on 20 September 2012 - 09:28 PM, said: Here's what I did. http://www.vfrdiscus...ram-mount-ball/ Nicely done! I assume this will work on a 4th gen?
- What do you carry and why? I carry a Glock 26. +1 G23 and my backpack! Soon to be carring an iPhone if I can find a mount that'saffordable and works.
- garmin suction to winscreen A little off topic but, is there a mount for Iphones? I want to use the GPS and Speedo app in place of the factory speedo (went a tooth down in front. it's no where near accurate!
- Dead battery, at work charging it, question about fuses. I had batteries crapping out all the time, then the 30A main popping. A VFRness, Ricks R/R and a new battery later, she's reliable!
- Stupid VFR's Drop a tooth in the front sprocket and it will feel like a rocket. Did this on my 4th gen and WOW, it's incredibly quick now, not good for highway riding, puts the RPM's up a little higher than I like for long periods…
- Chain and Sprocket Time - Opinions I used a nail punch and a hammer to start the rivet then used a C-Clamp and BB to flare it a little more. Probably not the best way to go about it but, worked for me. I still check the master link before I ride and mid…
- First time riding two up... Just tell her to relax and not to fight the lean into turns. She can hold on to you or the grab handles, my Wife prefers to hold on to me. But yeah, having her relax and just go with the bike is the best advice I can…
- Free 1 year subscription to sport rider I haven't received mine yet... I did however get a little flier thing for a subscription? I hope I get mine!
- got power ,No spark though? Not sure what they are either, looks like wiring for lights though. Are all the connections good on the coil?
- got power ,No spark though? Start with the wires first, it's cheaper... If the coils are bad, I would be very curious as to why they all failed.
- got power ,No spark though? Are you positive there's no spark? Have you pulled a boot and verified?
- Stop with the worry, stop with the stress....Just order yourself a VFRNess! Looks nice!!
- Another won't start post... Do you use the fork lock? I imagine that cranking everything over that far can cause some trouble eventaully...
- The Gentleman's VFR I dunno man, I'm not loving the looks... Does it go offroad or is this like Mercedes and BMW making a "Sport Utility Vehicle"?
- Another won't start post... Awesome! I know who's riding to work this morning! lol I know I am!
- Another won't start post... [image: View Post]Tightwad, on 17 October 2011 - 01:49 PM, said: Check the voltage at the battery while attempting to start it, it should remain above 10V. And of course check that the kill switch on the handle isn't…
- Motorcycle is apparently a raptor. Looks like a Rooster!! That's crazy! Good shot!
- Lazy Traffic Lights The 120 second wait here in Va. is long enough! I really don't like running the lights but, I do.
- Another won't start post... Make sure the conneciton at the Starter Relay is good, thermal creep can cause the connections to come loose. Give all of the fuses and connections you can get to a good push to ensure the connection is tight. I doubt…
- Another won't start post... Spray the starter switch with some electrical contact cleaner... I was having similar symptoms with my 4th gen (Minus the fuel pump) this weekend. My switch needs to come out and be cleaned well but it works for now.…
- Another won't start post... Not sure about the Fuel Pump issue but the starter button could also be gummed up...
- 30 Amp Fuse on Starter Solenoid I've never heard of the R/R shorting but I'm sure that's because when it takes a dump no one is really looking for a short in it. They just chalk their problems up to a bad R/R and swap it. I would imagine it's pretty…
- What's your day job? Data Security Analyst for a large Bank.
- Has anyone fixed the grabby clutch for sure? I haven't heard of this either, although, I have a 4th Gen. Luckily I don't have to worry about the dreaded clutch grab... Just electrical fires. :tongue:
- 30 Amp Fuse on Starter Solenoid She's alive!! Welllll almost... She cranks but the battery gave up before I could get enough fuel for her to run. Now, I need to see if the fuse will hold up and if not, why. So, I'll have to borrow my buddies charger…
- 30 Amp Fuse on Starter Solenoid Tightwad... THANK YOU!! Holy crap I'm an idiot. I have them reversed! The Diode is toast now for sure though, it melted guts out of the bottom. I'll switch them around and see what happens. Would this possibly cause the…
- 30 Amp Fuse on Starter Solenoid New Clutch Diode (Silicon Rectifier) ordered... Won't be here until Tuesday or Wednesday... I sure hope this fixes the problem.
- Shortening Scorpion mufflers There will be no issues with chopping the cans... It will be a bit louder but he''s only chopping a few inches, those cans are pretty long. It will be a mostly cosmetic surgery. Chop them, you'll be glad you did.
- 30 Amp Fuse on Starter Solenoid Okay, I installed the new Starter Solenoid and the Clutch Diode started to smoke and got very hot to the touch... I'm guessing the Diode is where the short is? I'm going to replace the length of G/R wire from the Clutch…
- 30 Amp Fuse on Starter Solenoid I'll remove the guages and have a peak back there and see if there's something going on with the ignition. I hope I can find this problem, it's been a frustrating couple of weeks! Thanks for the ideas/ help!
- 30 Amp Fuse on Starter Solenoid I haven't gotten to the ignition switch yet. Do you mean the switch itself or the Starter button on the handle? I can't get the screw in the front of the handle off, it's in there pretty good and it's going to strip so…
- Do I need to be concerned? [image: View Post]cybershade69, on 09 October 2011 - 01:25 AM, said: Ok....I returned the clip-ons to the stock position. I actually like it better in the lower position. I find I am less likely to support myself on my…
- Thats it for me boys and girls ! At least there's good news out of this being that you're alive! I hope you heal quickly and at least get to say goodbye to the old girl, I know I would want to.
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System zam70 #1 - I ran an additional 8 gauge ground from the battery neg to the connection on the frame (right side with the green wires, not at the brake valve) #2 - I ran an additional 12 gauge ground from the new ground…
- 3M DI-NOC Carbon Fiber Vinyl , CAME OUT GREAT!!! I wonder how well it would bond to wheels? Might look pretty cool....
- A part of me died tonite I know how you feel man!! When I sold my 82 XJ650 Maxim, I was heartbroken when it rode away... Her name was Old Ugly but she was super reliable and a joy to ride. Sigh, we all miss one or two of our old ladies. I have…
- Aftermarket fairings I wish we had some options like this for the 4th gens!!!! I would love to get my stock set off the bike and in a safe place!
- Confrontation with Harley guy. I really enjoy looking at HD's. A lot of them are really pretty bikes, especially the baggers. I have ridden a couple of buddies but, they are really heavy and rediculously under powered for the displacement. Pretty to…
- Back on the Forum, and look what I did today! What else do you guys produce? Any parts for the 3-4th gen guys?
- Can't get bug spray off my windshield! Try some rubbing alcohol, might do the trick. Otherwise, try a medium abrasive polish, then a glass polish.
