  1. Clutch & Brake bleeding - too much for me. Dealer an option? 25 Jun 2012 15:35 SEBSPEED Find someone local to help you. You'd be surprised at how far a lunch and/or adult beverage might go. :+1:
  2. Which is the Best Channel to Watch Moto Racing? 18 Jun 2012 15:06 I've gone long enough without much if any motorcycle racing on my satellite TV. So I am thinking of upgrading my package to include a channel that has some racing coverage. In order to not break the bank and because of…
  3. Chain cleaning, what's your regimen? 11 Jun 2012 22:01 MaxSwell He does it just to anoy you Jeremy77. Specifically you. :tongue: I guess that's possible... However I'm usually the one who is being annoying just for the fun of it!
  4. Spiegler LSL vs Heli bars 11 Jun 2012 18:27 I would think with either set-up you would need to change the lines. Or do the HeliBars not change the position of the bars enough to need new lines?
  5. Powder Coating 8 Jun 2012 00:15 I'm starting a little powder coating company out of my garage. http://www.fortbendpowdercoating.com Email me at jeremy@fortbendpowdercoating.com I can powder coat your small motorcycle parts and get them looking perfect…
  6. Chain cleaning, what's your regimen? 7 Jun 2012 16:30 Monk DDO-VFR Monk ...For me when I get a chain that actually measures the slack the same all round. I adjust when installed then a couple 100 or less, then a little maybe about half life(1000K). Then the next time it…
  7. Exhaust heat 6 Jun 2012 03:08 Depending on how much you want to spend, you could either use an exhaust wrap ($) or get your pipes ceramic coated ($$$)
  8. Stranded! 5 Jun 2012 19:06 I bet you're missing a cylinder... have you check your plugs?
  9. 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR 31 May 2012 20:00 Kel looking good! PC monster has been created. No doubt! I found myself wandering the garage looking for what else I could powder coat. I've also been looking at this product LIQUID 2 POWDER that you mix with your…

  11. 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR 31 May 2012 18:37 If you're on a budget and want an inexpensive gun tat gets the job done... The craftsman gun from amazon is a really great deal at $35. It's completely self contained, no compressor needed.
  12. 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR 31 May 2012 16:00 Got the top triple done as well... [image: 7307792684_2382a3177d.jpg] Been thinking about the engine... Anyone know if I can coat the camshaft covers, clutch cover and stator cover? I think the swing arm will fit in my…
  13. 1981 cb900f supersport rebuildupgrade 31 May 2012 00:34 What are you gonna do to keep the weld from rusting?
  14. 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR 30 May 2012 14:24 I have officially started powder coating parts! All parts were blasted with 80 grit glass beads and wiped down with acetone. The parts with paint were stripped with Aircraft stripper, then blasted. The glass beads are…
  15. Powder Coat Brake Disc Inner Section 22 May 2012 19:54 that's exactly what I'm going for... is that paint or powder? Do I need to worry about the heat of baking the powder warping the rotors?
  16. Powder Coat Brake Disc Inner Section 22 May 2012 16:38 I've done some hunting and haven't found the answer... How does one paint or powder coat the inner section of the brake disc? Obviously you don't want any coating on the braking surface, but is it possible (or even…
  17. 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR 20 May 2012 04:03 I forgot to mention that I also picked up a bellypan to cover the front headers. I'm pretty excited, because I think the lines are going to work perfectly with the CBR1000RR tail fairing. [image:…
  18. 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR 20 May 2012 03:37 Kel Make sure you have a good moisture filter for the blaster. It won't take much moisture to dampen the media enough to start clogging up the works. Thanks Kel! I have to say your VF project was definitely an…
  19. 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR 20 May 2012 03:20 Still collecting parts and tools to finish this project. I am planning to do my own powdercoating to save money and to learn something new. Here's what I've added to the garage to make this project a reality. My oven,…
  20. Bike wont start 19 May 2012 00:24 How long since it ran last?
  21. A trying weekend to say the least 14 May 2012 14:22 Every motorcycle I've had I've used a trickle charger on the battery whenever it was parked. You can pick them up pretty cheap from an auto parts store or WalMart. It seems to help the battery last and prevent those…
  22. Re-key pannier lock set? Extra tumblers? 9 May 2012 18:44 I think tumblers are tumblers... any good locksmith would be able to get them going for you.

  26. Exhaust gasket 7 May 2012 00:45 Ok... So I managed only to get a with pic because I couldn't get to pop out, even with a screw driver. So yeah, you've prolly just never noticed it. It's reusable, so unless there's a problem you shouldn't need to…
  27. Exhaust gasket 7 May 2012 00:38 It sticks in the header side. You would have to grab it and pull it out for it to come loose... My headers are off, let me see if I can grab a with and without pic for you
  28. Exhaust gasket 7 May 2012 00:28 I imagine you have one or there would be no seal between the muffler pipe and the exhaust from the engine. It looks like this [image: Posted Image]
  29. Chain and Sprocket Time - Opinions 6 May 2012 05:32 Still assembling parts to get ready to put her back together after a fairly complete disassembly. Time to order chain and sprockets. I found this set for what seems to be a good price.…

  33. I found my missing GoPro Camera but........................... 2 May 2012 18:19 I'm surprised you didn't smell it cooking
  34. Looking at my first VFR tonight: Need your insight 2 May 2012 15:45 price seems a little high... KBB says $4100 in my area. It may be different in yours. I'd offer $3750
  35. Thermostat question 2 May 2012 01:34 Did your fan switch on while you were sitting?
  36. Stupid Tank Bolts! 1 May 2012 19:55 That SUCKS!!!! I hate dropping bolts! Speaking of dropping things... I once dropped a string of 3 12" socket extensions on a buddy's face while he was under the car. Worse yet, it happened twice! For some reason he…
  37. 'Quick' fixes to drop the running temp? 1 May 2012 19:51 I've heard bad things about water wetter... basically that it's snake oil. I'd run quality antifreeze and make sure you're running synthetic oil. 50w seems way heavy to me and I'm down in Texas where we see much higher…
  38. Combined brakes and slow speed maneuvers... Tips? 30 Apr 2012 20:30 I haven't ridden in a few years and it will likely be a few months before I am ready to ride again as I am still working on my 4th gen project bike. However I do plan to head to a MSF location and take a returning rider…
  39. Front tire on backward oh no 30 Apr 2012 02:19 Prolly not going to ruin the tire, but I'd flip it soon... Especially if you're doing any wet weather driving. Look for zip tie tire mounting instructions here or on YouTube.
  40. 1981 cb900f supersport rebuildupgrade 28 Apr 2012 00:41 Where'd you source the headlight? What size is it? I'm trying to find something remotely affordable for my fighter?
  41. Bike doesn't seem to "lean" enough while on the side stand 26 Apr 2012 19:25 this may seem silly... but do you turn your wheel to the left when the bike is on the side stand? doing this shifts the center of gravity to make it more stable on the stand. This is basic motorcycle stuff and you may…
  42. Ceramic Wheel Bearings 26 Apr 2012 15:29 [image: View Post]Rice, on 26 April 2012 - 09:58 AM, said: Is that 68 bucks for one or for both? Regardless, a motorcycle wheel may or may not spin at 2200 RPM at the furthest point in its diameter. I don't want to do…
  43. 4th Gen Project - VFR750RR 25 Apr 2012 22:30 It's been a while since I've updated this... Had to rebuild the front end on my Mountaineer. Does anyone know what is included in the Gasket Kit B? Is it the whole list of parts here:…
  44. Anyone running without an oil cooler? 23 Apr 2012 19:25 I have no experience... But I plan to bypass the oil cooler all together with a VF750C oil pump. I will however be running without fairings and won't likely be on a track.
  45. Front end wobbles and can't figure out why 19 Apr 2012 03:07 I hope it's just out of balance then it won't really cost anyhting. I'll take the wheel off and have it checked but can a wheel just randomly come unbalanced I've been on these tires since march (michelin pilot powers)…
  46. 98 won't Start 18 Apr 2012 04:49 Do fuel injected engines flood? I thought that was only carbs?

  48. What about an "italian stallion" viffer 17 Apr 2012 20:50 I just read through the comments over there... I love when you responded to the "Why not sell these to someone who will use them for a real MV" comment with "Anyone could have bid on them" It's looking great, man...…
