  1. What torque did you use for the top steering nut for an All Balls tapered steering stem bearings?? 3 Jun 2017 05:52 Don't make a simple task complicated, the best thing about tapered roller bearings is they can have more play than standard roller bearings & not overly move due to the seating tapered profile. It's due to this you…
  2. my 07RWB project/build 22 Jan 2017 01:47 All that time to make the lazer (my fav vfr 6th gen exhaust) piping all polished yet few decent rides especially in rain will be covered in grit again. The only hope to try keep clean is also fit a hugger, I gave up…
  3. Sp2 front wheel on 5th gen...worth it? 30 Dec 2016 06:57 I'm not going to enter into a flame war so if you read this it's solely my opinion if you don't agree that's fine, but you need to have ridden a VFR with lighter wheels to have an opinion. OP I would use your standard…
  4. Tyga rearsets 13 Jul 2016 13:41 stryker with rearset linkage having each linkage at 90deg to each other is optimal but should work even with less angle. You say even with current pic setup it's not shifting some gears, well to me that gear shaft…
  5. Injector Cleaners - worth it? 22 Jun 2016 13:35 I'm not a chemical engineer which is about the only person who I would listen to but that person specialty would have to be petroleum products. I have never used an injector cleaning product, mainly because a long time…
  6. K&N Oil Filter Failure 19 Jun 2016 03:15 I use the K&N filter mainly for the ease of the front nut install but I don't torque the filter down just do it up to a resistance I'm happy with, but I have had one leak from o-ring over time & heat cycles. After…
  7. 4Th Gen Fork Options 15 Jun 2016 10:57 Trev if lower triple is out of round be very careful as they could dent fork tubes, they may have just been clamped without a fork tube inserted so carefully open them you will prob need to use a large screw driver as a…
  8. Vtec Valve Adjustment Question 31 Mar 2016 08:20 the vtec valves shims are built into the buckets & there are only a limited number of sizes, unlike the normal valves that just use shims which you can buy more or less any size. the vtec bucket/shim also cost a lot…
  9. Is It Irresponsible To Ride A Motorcycle As A Parent? 31 Mar 2016 08:16 duccmann Joneill, first off, hope you make a speedy recovery. ...couldn't repeat what you said any better after loosing Father, Sister and Son with epilepsy, ALWAYS TELL YOUR FAMILY YOU LOVE THEM. ....live life, and…
  10. Is It Irresponsible To Ride A Motorcycle As A Parent? 28 Mar 2016 03:43 Rant engaged................if I had my way every so called professional that sprouts this & that is wrong should be shoot. I'm in my 50's & growing up we didn't need pushbike helmets, we made ball bearing billy carts,…
  11. Adding A Lower Radiator To A Gen6 4 Mar 2016 08:46 It maybe different but the radiators are side flow so a tank each side, one side inlet, one side outlet normally. Looking at your setup you have a side radiator outlet feed into one side of bottom radiator & that same…
  12. Adding A Lower Radiator To A Gen6 4 Mar 2016 07:37 With that set up isn't the flow from clutch side radiator just going to sort cycle aux lower radiator with it's inlet same side as outlet to pump?
  13. Bike Dilemma 25 Jan 2016 11:33 Bikes there always something more or new that we think about. If me I would try real hard to find someone with a VFR with upgrade suspension that is close to your weight & if poss test ride, then test ride the other…
  14. 4Th Gen Fork Options 15 Jan 2016 21:59 The 5/6th gen wheel is correct due to bearing size as the 4th gen wheel uses a smaller bearing, the 5/6th gen rotors work fine or any rotor that matches there profile. Helibars if you want them again 5/6th gen work or…
  15. Motogp 2016 Season....with Spoilers 11 Jan 2016 10:00 bayarearider Will this drama go on...? http://www.sportal.co.nz/motorsport/news/marc-marquez-fans-to-skip-mugello-due-to-safety-concerns/71fd0e436y6g1vwjzfmp15u5b I can't believe VR hasn't come to his senses & defused…
  16. 4Th Gen Fork Options 23 Dec 2015 03:42 Trev just remember to factor in F4i fork rebuild to suit you & VFR before install, also unknown age seais/oil best to start new service record.
  17. 4Th Gen Fork Options 23 Dec 2015 00:58 johnlondon Was it much work bolting in the 6th gen front end out of interest? I'm guessing the length/rake & offset aren't a million miles off? The 6th gen front end keeps the same length/rake/trail as the standard 4th…
  18. 4Th Gen Fork Options 22 Dec 2015 14:30 johnlondon zRoYz a little overkill probably but honestly the feel, confidence & extra safety due to maximum road response there worth every cent to me. Psychological ;) Riding a bike has that element :-) I'm also a 4th…
  19. 4Th Gen Fork Options 22 Dec 2015 05:09 Yep just to be very clear we are all different, there are many things in this world that aren't required but nice to have. One point I will make if you haven't say ridden a VFR set up say like mine then you have zero…
  20. 4Th Gen Fork Options 22 Dec 2015 02:22 johnlondon zRoYz I will just make a comment on rebuilding the 4th gen forks that have decent mileage on them, the internal cartridge stem seal will be worn out which means the oil bypasses the valving which isn't a good…
  21. 4Th Gen Fork Options 20 Dec 2015 14:41 I will just make a comment on rebuilding the 4th gen forks that have decent mileage on them, the internal cartridge stem seal will be worn out which means the oil bypasses the valving which isn't a good thing. That…
  22. 4Th Gen Fork Options 19 Dec 2015 00:52 I haven't really looked into the CBR600RR forks but being so short would probably be an issue for your usage touring, as the installs have been mainly street fighter conversions so pillion & luggage not a concern. Also…
  23. 4Th Gen Fork Options 18 Dec 2015 09:42 From my memory when you bought the Penske your requirement was loading with your pillion in a million & luggage, so when solo your rear would be stiff. Also a soft front end wouldn't be helping either.
  24. 4Th Gen Fork Options 18 Dec 2015 07:38 Trev I just saw your post on mail list as have been away but will post some info here for you. There is no such thing as a straight swap for 4th gen VFR to convert to fully adjustable forks especially inverted, the…
  25. Bmw S1000Rr Test Ride 13 Dec 2015 03:24 There an animal, but with the rider aids you can dial them back to suit your needs. But for me & getting on in years the rider position is to extreme for long rides which is about all the riding I do. It's the one thing…
  26. Merits Of Abs And/or Linked Brakes In The Corners 1 Oct 2015 08:28 Strictly my opinion but if you're riding in the street with so little margin that mid-corner shifts are gonna screw ya', maybe it's time to take that crap off the street and onto the track. I tend to hate this type of…
  27. Merits Of Abs And/or Linked Brakes In The Corners 30 Sep 2015 07:23 The fact is in the future probably every bike released will have ABS which I don't like for 2 main reasons, yes the newer systems decrease the effects but still me no like. 1. In a situation that requires locking wheels…
  28. How To Turn A 30Min Clutch Change Into 12Hrs 25 Aug 2015 07:49 The bottom line is very clear cut, the spring bolt & connecting parts are designed for expected loading with some leeway, if you feel less strength just one bolt is acceptable risk then all is fine. I would personally…
  29. Honda Is Officially Launching The Road-Legal Rc213V-S Later This Week At The Catalunya Motogp Race... 10 Jun 2015 08:57 Before I start I will apologize for my rant. RC213V-S who bloody cares, Honda for the last few years have totally lost the plot when it comes to what real world riders want, we don't want what some arrogant design…
  30. My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter 26 May 2015 08:27 Between this and ApexAndy's I have no hope for mine............ it would look like shit in comparison....... very stellar bike :) NEVER under estimate the power of your passion, you may surprise yourself & everybody…
  31. My 1996 Vfr750 Streetfighter 25 May 2015 10:03 So this is the special project, now I will be very honest as we all like different things I'm not a fan of street fighters, cafe racers or naked bikes, my idea of a naked format is a MX or enduro that I can cover in mud…
  32. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 16 Mar 2015 04:32 I know for a fact SP1, 929,954, CBR1000RR 04-09 stems have interchangeability to work on the VFR head stem, anything else needs measuring to be sure.
  33. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 14 Mar 2015 06:50 The CBR1000RR stem is exact same as 929, 954 nothing required like shim. I know 100% 2004-2009 are same there was maybe some changes 2010> from memory but not sure there probably also the same.
  34. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 14 Mar 2015 06:21 VFR stem doesn't have a alloy triple clamp & from memory (long time since looking at original) there welded to lower as well. You won't effect press fit of stem into alloy triple as you don't remove any material & the…
  35. Mail Order Rvf 800 – Some Assembly Required… 14 Mar 2015 04:18 I was in two minds to post but feel this should be stated that lower triple stem you have used a die to clean up the top locking rings thread is a throw away item for your safety don't use it there just isn't any decent…
  36. 2015 Bluetooth Intercom Options 18 Feb 2015 11:33 I have a Sena SMH-10 which has had only minor problems which firmware updates since first buying years ago mostly addressed, the one thing that has failed is the ear bud aux base as the plug connection rubber has failed…
  37. Laser Extreme Exhaust 11 Feb 2015 09:29 Hi Arrow well short answer YES I'm going to install the supercharger kit after all. Did some regular maintenance just the other day & the bug bit me again only problem I have to do valve clearances & have injectors…

  39. Before You Go Get That Next Rocket Ship... 8 Feb 2015 07:03 The writer of that spiel missed the point completely why people own a litre bike "BECAUSE THEY CAN" I mean why own a Bugatti Veyron or any other super car for that point, most owners of super cars can't drive for shit…
  40. Laser Extreme Exhaust 4 Feb 2015 05:39 300 km from a tank is more than respectable and I'll bet there's still a litre or two left in there when you decide to fill up not wishing to get stuck on the side of the road having run out of gas. Which means another…
  41. Cbr F4 Shock In Place Of Vfr Shock 10 Jan 2015 03:50 There is noway in hell that shock bent like that in shipping, at a guess it has been mistreated or off a crashed bike.
  42. Talk Me Out Of Replacing This 6Th Gen Stator . . . 3 Jan 2015 03:00 Just a question how often do you do oil changes? I just replaced a stator (110000kms 02 model) that worked now & then (passed tests when motor cold) which didn't look as bad as yours, the insulation is breaking down…
  43. Thoughts On 4Th Gen Vfr As A Track Bike? 1 Jan 2015 09:04 Few years ago now I tracked a gen4 & honestly was way more fun to ride than the CBR1000RR I upgraded too. I was a track day junky for a few years but the best fun was the gen4 because riding it to the limit was…
  44. V4 Went Bang On The Way Home The Other Night.... 22 Dec 2014 09:44 It could be a number of things but the one fact that sticks out to me is you had valve service don't recently, I would 100% have the timing re inspected. I know of 3 friends bikes that had dealer valve inspection & each…
  45. Replace Stator And Flywheel - How To With Pics 27 Nov 2014 06:37 I didn't read this thread before changing a 6th gen stator & fly wheel & kaldek on page two does show the special tool required to remove fly wheel. My Honda special tool is a standard 20mm metric fine bolt (metric fine…
  46. My Local Dealership Quit On Shoria/ballistic/all Lithium Batteries.... 13 Oct 2014 07:34 Another Shorai user without problems, had in my 04 over 4 years zero problems & I never charge it other than when riding which is only once twice per month. I do use a voltmeter to keep an eye on the stored charge…
  47. Rear Hub Removal 5 Oct 2014 11:11 If you can't undo it with a breaker bar the only way is with a impact driver, even with the breaker bar before you try spay the nut/shaft with a penetrate spray & leave for a few hours before you try. My hub had play…

  49. Brakes - Warped Rotor Fix 12 Sep 2014 12:24 Dutchy checksix I'm curious, has anyone ever tried cleaning the disc brake bobbins to "unbind" them so the discs can float properly in the carrier? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qoPqN2GBdw I'd never heard of this…
