- Twice upon a caravan Hey guys, Been looking for this DVD for a while now: "twice upon a caravan". About a around the world ride on a Douglas in 1932. All leads point to the now defunct http://www.whitehorsegear.com/ . He wrote a book as…
- Missing front wheel assembly part thanks @Auspanglish and @JZH. Axle that's the word. 'Assembly' <== haha what a noob I am. just for my understanding the pinch bolt is the screw that's at the bottom of the fork? why is that hole there? The rust was…
- Missing front wheel assembly part Hey guys, I have a 4th gen and the front wheel locking screw seems to be missing something. The bolt that goes across the front wheel hub that holds the wheel, should it have some kind of pin, screw or nut on the other…
- Electrical/charging gremlins 22 hours ago, Auspanglish front parking lights What are front parking lights? Do 4th Gen VFR's have them? Thanks
- Electrical/charging gremlins hey! So the RR did the trick. Took it for some test runs over the weekend and the voltage meter shows 13.8 to 14.1. Dropping to 13.7 at red lights. It stays at 12.7 while parked. I will end up getting the mosfet come…
- Electrical/charging gremlins Thank you both for sharing knowledge and helping with this. I will see what happens with the r/r once I install it and report back. But I see the value in upgrading to a mosfet for sure. 21 hours ago, thtanner You could…
- Electrical/charging gremlins 53 minutes ago, thtanner The kit you needed is $128.95 + $6.50 S&H USA Are you referring to the Crimp & Go Kit $128.95 ? yeah that does sound like all I need after the VFRness. :blush:
- Electrical/charging gremlins I did test the r/r this Sunday before ordering it yesterday. My mistake was not testing it first.. since I replaced it already in '12 I was focusing on other parts. And the guy that was helping me kept insisting it was…
- Electrical/charging gremlins yes another Ricks'/ yes it sounds insane. ..but after replacing the stator, the battery, the harness and missing the entire riding season I just want to ride the damn thing. Given that I'm using a VFRness I'm hoping it…
- Electrical/charging gremlins hey guys, So I replaced the stator with a Ricks stator. Still when I started the bike it would charge but after 10-15 minutes of running it would stop charging. At this point I've replaced EVERYTHING including harnesses…
- From RC36 to RC51 Love the pics of the bikes and I'm def convinced. it's just a matter of time now. 51 Owners: Is there anything in specific I should look for when I go see the bike?
- From RC36 to RC51 "The perfect pair" that sums it up for me as well. Thanks for sharing the bike pics. looks crisp clean. St. Stephen, 8/10/2016 at 8:36 PM If you can own two they are the perfect pair. I faced the same decision a few…
- From RC36 to RC51 ditto. if I can I'll def keep the vfr as my all-rounder and the 51 for those perfect sunny days and possibly track days. Thanks for being the voice of reason. :beer:
- From RC36 to RC51 Guys, I have a 4th gen VFR with 25k that I've had for 5 years now and I've done lots of upgrades to it (attached). I love the thing and can't imagine selling it. But I've always lusted the RC51 SP2 and finally in a…
- Electrical/charging gremlins Thanks guys, I will do these tests. Can I one of you guys give me a quick rundown of how I should test the stator? After I pull the plug, I put the voltmeter to Ohms to test the resistance right? What should I look for?…
- Electrical/charging gremlins Thanks guys!! So I installed the voltmeter and the wiremybike connector last night. I had already ordered this last week prior to your post MadScientist. Metri-Pack connectors looks so solid I will upgrade once I figure…
- Electrical/charging gremlins Thanks Rangemaster!! Great point, actually it was a bit corroded last time I checked. I will double check and report back. To your point about soldering the the stator wires, I'm thinking of getting this stataor…
- Electrical/charging gremlins I have a weird charging issue. 95 VFR, bike dies suddenly at lights and doesn't start up randomly. Found the plug from the stator to the reg/rect was fried. (I have a Ricks reg/rect.) so I replaced the whole harness…

- Chain cleaning, what's your regimen? I clean it with this and the grunge brush: [image: f4649f48-1ef1-477f-893b-0605add13e00_300.jpg] works really well at cutting through the gunk and de-greasing. then I lube with dupoint multi-purpose. I clean and lube at…
