  1. Border To Border.. V2 13 Apr 2015 20:19 Well, what can I say? We are at it again! After a long hiatus on here, Im finally taking a ride worth mentioning. I had to get back to my career and recover from 2 years on the road, got married, bought a home, did the…
  2. Clymer's Manuals Suck...secondary Master Cylinder Question. 18 Feb 2013 03:14 "...simply remove engine. Assembly is reverse of above..." That's funny timmy. How original. I'll ask the question again..how do you separate the left side caliper bracket from the caliper? The PDF service manual on…
  3. Like the Pony Express 4 Apr 2012 00:58 I posted up something when my buddy and I were riding around the USA and Canada but I never heard back from anyone, not a single peep. Ive been jobless for 1.5yrs traveling the states and Mexico via moto, sailboat and…

  7. Border to Border - Insanity 19 Sep 2011 18:09 We are leaving for Del Rio, TX tomorrow and should be starting our ride Wednesday afternoon. We are going to try dodging the Texas heat by riding the first leg at night. Also we are trying to play with our pysche here…
  8. Texas VFR Meet 2011 Oct 28 & 29 16 Sep 2011 00:46 I can vouch for that! Its totally worth it to ride these roads! Ill be riding in from north of Houston, its about a 270 mile ride for me on boring I-10. Hows the condition of the chipsealing being done out there? I rode…

  11. Zero Gravity Dark Smoke SR-Series Windscreen 24 Aug 2011 18:56 I bought my bike with 2 zero gravity screens. one stock style but blacked out and another touring one that has a heavy tint. I ride with the touring one right now and it does seem to deflect a bunch of wind towards my…

  14. Border to Border - Insanity 25 Jul 2011 19:27 Well no one has replied.... We just did a small practice run this weekend, 936 miles in 2 days ahaha. The second day was some hard 3 Twisted sister riding (me 2-up with my girlfriend) and then turning around and going…
  15. Border to Border - Insanity 22 Jul 2011 17:52 The miles are longer than what we originially figured. But I dont want to drive to say Arizona to start the ride.... Im going to rework the miles and try and get it back down to 1300-1400. I dont believe the 1600+ is…
  16. Border to Border - Insanity 21 Jul 2011 23:07 A buddy and I have been gearing up for a Border to Border Insanity run. This is an award from the same guys that do Bunburner and Saddlesore, the IronButt Association. Basic run down, Mexico to Canada in 24 hours.... We…
  17. Honda CBR250R 20 Jul 2011 04:29 I've been looking at buying the CBR250R since before it landed here in the states. There are already dealers in the ATL area that are selling the non-ABS for $3700 and ABS for $4200. The red one looks better to my eyes.…
  18. Finally touched a peg down on the VFR.... 12 Jul 2011 02:34 Love the pics of the footpegs ground down to nothing. HA! The idea for me is to use the pegs as a guide to see if I'm pushing too hard, so that I know if I'm starting to get near a threshold of possible danger. I do…
  19. Finally touched a peg down on the VFR.... 11 Jul 2011 04:42 Yeah I noticed on some of the tighter corners that it felt a lot safer to not use the seat. Just tried to avoid it and leaned off from one side to the other without ever sitting as the corners came fast and furious left…

  21. Finally touched a peg down on the VFR.... 11 Jul 2011 04:24 Yeah I had forgotten how much fun those roads are since it's been awhile since riding them. Did Rt 60 to 180 to 129 and then hit Rib Country BBQ in Cleveland, GA on the way back to Buford. Something about riding and BBQ…
  22. Finally touched a peg down on the VFR.... 11 Jul 2011 03:54 ........so I never go too fast, but the roads were so nice and clear on a nice long 150 mile ride today in the north georgia hills. (Route 19/129 north of Dahlonega kicks A$$. So does 60 north of Suches). Anyways, I had…
  23. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 21 Jun 2011 15:54 One other question that's popped up since I have the airbox off. I labeled the velocity stacks when I took them off and turns out the front are both short and the back ones are long. I saw another thread where the…
  24. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 19 Jun 2011 05:03 Interesting way to clean the injectors. With my expertise I'd certainly fry the injector or something. The place here does it for $60 for all 4. My thought is if I go through all the trouble to pop those suckers out, I…
  25. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 17 Jun 2011 03:05 Alright. The injectors are out...as is a lot of spilled fuel. I should've drained the tank first...doh! Kal, I Googled "vfr800 injectors cleaning" on my phone, and somehow your YouTube videos popped up in the results,…
  26. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 16 Jun 2011 04:58 Holy crap (palm smack to forehead). I did the paper towel test to see if the injectors were leaking....wow. I guess there's not supposed to be any fuel in the throttle bodies either while the bikes sitting or when you…
  27. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 15 Jun 2011 16:10 Well I thank you for the assistance so far kaldek. I figure something more screwy is going on than the charging system causing the problem. I'm going to test the spark strength tonight to see if I'm getting a nice…
  28. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 14 Jun 2011 21:16 OK. Gassed up and calculated 22 mpg. WTH? Any ideas out there. All the experience collected on this forum someone has to have had a similar problem. Thanks for the responses so far. Any other ideas......? I am ready to…
  29. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 14 Jun 2011 14:54 OK, I rode to work today, and its obvious this bike is sick as a dog. Above 4000 rpm its tolerable, just with no power. Under that and it sputters and stumbles. Idles fine though. The kicker is that I have 98 miles on…
  30. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 14 Jun 2011 01:33 Wow. That battery must cost a fortune. It's equivalent to unobtanium at this point in time, no? I was meaning to ask why you were replacing your stator too? I did the seafoam and 330ohm O2 sensor eliminator mod. I'm…
  31. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 13 Jun 2011 17:09 I've heard of seafoam cleaner, just never figured out if it's worth it, but I've not got anything to lose by trying it. I finally got the pics of the plugs available. This is the number 3 plug in the back throttle side…
  32. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 13 Jun 2011 16:14 I wonder if fuel injector cleaner additive would make a difference. I am going to get the resistors today from radio shack and try that out as well. That's my project for the night after work. I'm going to try the…
  33. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 13 Jun 2011 01:17 Thanks for the reply kaldek. I figured it must have something to do with the electrical system. My guess was battery, hoping against the RR or worse yet the stator. I will do the electrical grounding mods just for…
  34. Newbie here. I'm a bit stumped on this one. Ideas? 12 Jun 2011 23:04 UPDATE : Fuel pressure regulator turned out to be the culprit. Not any of the wires, plugs, RR, Stator, battery, injectors, etc, etc. Kaldek gets the credit for saving me from some serious mental problems in fixing…
