  2. Givi topcase 28 Mar 2011 13:45 Hello, My 5th gen has a BOS high mount exhaust. Will this interfere in any way with the GIVI topcase luggage rack installation? Are the steel tubes as comfy as grab handles for the passenger? Because when topcase is not…

  4. Can fork oil degrade by age 27 Mar 2011 07:41 So I changed clutch fluid, oil and oil filter.. with limited success (as shown in my 'quick question' thread in the maintenance forum). Now, I just want to ride... sun is shining :biggrin:
  5. Brake Bleeding VTEC and 5th Generation 26 Mar 2011 00:25 I'm planning on doing the clutch fluid tomorrow. I've been reading some stuff, and since I don't have a vacuum pump, I'll be doing it the old fashioned way (with just a hose on the bleeder). It seems simpler too. The…
  6. Installing Racetech Gold Valves 23 Mar 2011 20:55 This is a great write up. Threads like these will one day give me the confidence to do it myself :-)

  8. Can fork oil degrade by age 23 Mar 2011 16:27 If you don't want to spend the time and are not sure of your finished results, I'd take it to the dealer now, do not pass GO........... Here it cost $150 for the forks to be removed taken apart cleaned up etc..…
  9. Can fork oil degrade by age 23 Mar 2011 15:52 Intresting blog...!! I've read the manual on how to remove the forks and take them apart. Apart from some terminology, it looks 'possible', WITH all the right tools, and patience :-) But I'm not in a 'mechanic zone' at…
  10. Can fork oil degrade by age 23 Mar 2011 12:35 It's probably best to clean them, but I don't feel comfortable doing that myself. And I just wonder how seriously the dealer would do it. Everytime I go with such question to a dealer, they look at me like I come from…
  11. Can fork oil degrade by age 23 Mar 2011 10:37 I just read the topic '30 min. fork oil change' with great interest. I'd like to do it myself, but I'm still apprehensive. But I'm wondering, My bike is 12 year old, but only 8000km. Could the oil have degraded only…
  12. European Vfr Riders 23 Mar 2011 09:18 Hi, I'm from Belgium, in the West. I love going to Germany to the Eifel area, but it's been a while. [image: View Post]bond972, on 03 August 2008 - 03:13 PM, said: Hi, I'm sergio VFr lover from Italy - Abruzzo, I wanted…

  14. Turning left VS's turning right 21 Mar 2011 15:58 Strangely enough, I feel more comfortable on left handers BUT my chicken strips are smaller on the right side. Go figure, .... maybe I overcompensate???
  15. Open Bos exhaust on fifth gen 21 Mar 2011 15:17 Thanks for the replies... I feel happier now that I know I'm not hurting my mistress :-)
  16. Open Bos exhaust on fifth gen 21 Mar 2011 14:43 Hello, On my recently purchased 'like new' fifth gen, I have a BOS exhaust (without dB killers at the moment). Could there be a problem with not having a Power Commander with specific mapping for this exhaust? Does the…

  18. 30 min fork oil change- On bike 21 Mar 2011 10:45 Hi all, Very interesting topic. I just bought a 12 year old, low milleage fifth gen. Everything seems OK, but I've read in a couple of threads that fork oil is a must replacement for older bikes. Is there any reason to…
