All 13- Front radiator [image: View Post]Baileyrock, on 22 June 2012 - 02:48 PM, said: [image: View Post]south, on 22 June 2012 - 12:05 PM, said: I don't believe there's anything wrong with the theory of a front-mounted radiator-- I'm not…
- Front radiator I don't believe there's anything wrong with the theory of a front-mounted radiator--plenty of I4s and other liquid-cooled bikes (and cars) with the same front-radiator configuration; plus, the RC51 race kit features a…
- Front radiator Down here in the sweltering Sunshine State, I've given some casual thought to modding/improving my 5th gen's cooling system, and while I haven't gone so far as to check for needed room/spacing, it seems to me the way to…
- Fork upgrade with Race Tech's gold valves. Impressions??? [image: View Post]2thdr, on 19 June 2012 - 10:00 PM, said: South, what is your body weight? BTW thanks for the review... Hey, you're welcome. 5' 10" and 145 lbs. RT shim stack recipe "C30" (the softest of 10) for…
- Fork upgrade with Race Tech's gold valves. Impressions??? [image: View Post]npat, on 29 May 2012 - 03:36 PM, said: I see than many in here have upgraded their front forks with Race Tech's gold valves (either, compression, rebound, or both). I also read this excellent thread on…
- What are your favorite heated grips?? My '01 came with the Hot Grips Ergo 1's already installed by the PO--bike originally came from NY. While I liked the idea of heated grips, I was concerned/halfway convinced that the rather hard ribbed design of the…
- Side thread: Linked brakes, proportioning valve? Utilizing a proportioning valve won't effectively de-link the VFR's brakes. The system is set up whereby the (front) brake lever activates (only) 4 or 5 (depending on the year) out of a total of 6 front caliper pistons,…
- Need ride height advice (front and rear) The reason there's so much variation in recommendations is because much of bike set-up is down to individual rider feel/preference. So many guys are looking for the "magic" set-up--like religiously copying the Sport…
- good price for 2001 VFR? $2850 for my very clean '01 back in May: 2-owner, 14K miles, new Conti Road Attack tires, Givi 'screen (since swapped for stock), Corbin seat, Two Bros carbon can, heated grips, mirror extenders (since removed), CF-look…
- clip ons Try loosening the 'bar end weight--if you've got it installed--and see if that frees up the throttle. Whenever swapping out the throttle-side clip-on, it usually takes some finagling with the inner weight and the end…
- 5th gen 99 VFR800 shock and progressive front springs Actually, the VTR MC and the 929 MC are at opposite ends of the size scale; the VTR is 14mm, the 929 is 19mm. So, I don't think the VTR MC will work very well with the GSXR 6 pots. You might get away with the 16mm F4i…
- 5th gen 99 VFR800 shock and progressive front springs '01-'02 GSXR1000. Direct bolt up to the VTR fork lowers.There are other, similar Tokico 6-pots that are OEM on some Kawis and the Hayabusa, but their mounting points aren't the same and they won't work. You can see pics…
- 5th gen 99 VFR800 shock and progressive front springs For my '01 5th gen: installed stock 929 rear shock with a(n overly-) lengthened mounting bracket to gain an extra 12-15mm rear ride height; rebuilt the stock forks with VTR1000 Superhawk lowers/sliders (allowing for the…
