- Replacement Battery I installed a shorai battery LFX18A1-BS12, one size lager then the recommendation because I was worried about the VFR's drain and cranking. Lasted 6 years never connected to a tender only disconnected over the winter or…
- 5th gen starter valves sync INCORRECT for last 22 years So just to make sure I'm correct. I have a MotionPro Sync pro, which attaches to the the top of each tube pulling the fluid up. So if #3 and #4 need to be dropped, each valve needs to be closed more than, #1 and #2 to…

- Cam reinstall - timing help needed This set up is on SS swing-arm Ducati's, and NC35. It does not move unless you spin the axel. I would imagine the pressure is concentrated on the caliper mounting points.

- New 5th/6th/8th gen performance header now in production in USA 8 hours ago, sfdownhill Gig, I like your approach - did a couple circumference calcs and it makes sense. When you say you slightly opened and closed the ends, did that allow you to insert one end into the other, thereby…

- Rear Brake Hanger 4th and 5th gen in my experience you want to keep the eccentric/axel as close as possible to the 6-oclock position
- What type of riding do you use your VFR for? If dry and between 60-90F, commute 10miles in a downtown environment, with a laptop in my tank bag. Take a mountain twisties detour home, and on weekends.

- Engine oil recommendations Megadan, +1 300v FJ12, Thats an extra $40.00 over 5000 mies = .008 thousands of a cent per mile. Its like driving 5 extra miles to save .05 per gallon on cheap gas, is it worth it. Depend on who you ask
- Rear Brake Hanger 4th and 5th gen ill bet there is a way to use the 848 hanger on the vfr. it would only be a $25 investment to try. The brembo caliper and master have more then adequate stoping power if able to get them bled properly which is a task.…
