All 27- Speedometer off but odometer seems ok? Speedometer reading higher speed I've said it before and I'll say it again, this forum rocks!!! Thank you so much for that peace of mind!!!
- Speedometer off but odometer seems ok? Speedometer reading higher speed Quick question as I'm on the road now riding to LA from SEA. I have my speedometer at 72 when my gps reads 65. This seems to be very high as a variance. So I checked my odometer against the mile markers and state…
- Radiator flush & oil change Awesome post, this really helped me to prep my bike for the upcoming road trip. I wanted to add a reference, the coolant drain plugs for both water pump plug and cylinder plug use the following brass washer 6.5mm…

- Solo riding on Freeway, joining or following ettiquette Thanks HS, I should have been more specific, I just meant riding on the freeway and trying to decipher what other riders are telling me by their movements, etc. The other day a rider in the next lane looked at me and…
- Solo riding on Freeway, joining or following ettiquette I rode from Portland to Seattle the other night and encountered two other solo riders along the way. One was on a brand new Triumph ST and pulled up to me at a rest stop and chatted me up, then continued on. When I…
- New Tank Bag [image: View Post]dgordon, on 23 July 2012 - 09:40 PM, said: Victor, the sw-motech i bought was the new version. Slightly lowered mounting setup compad to the original version, and heavier fabric. What size did you get?…
- New Tank Bag Thanks for all the relies folks, I hope I get good results from the Bags-Connection tank bag, I like that it has the pass through and that I can fit my iPad inside. I'm not looking to keep the iPad in view, just in the…
- New Tank Bag I got my question answered from Twisted Throttle, the Give TPH 02 can NOT hold an iPad and does NOT have a pass through hole for wires. I ordered me the new EVO Daypack and will write a review when it arrives! Thanks…
- New Tank Bag [image: View Post]dgordon, on 21 July 2012 - 05:59 PM, said: Imho, the givi is the best bag for the vfr. Love sw-motech, bought that bag first. A mistake. Expands from the bottom, therefore floppy unless you fill it.…

- Engine Temp???? [image: View Post]SlexMan, on 15 July 2012 - 11:16 PM, said: My 02 VFR runs what i think is too warm. Once it gets up to fan "on" temps it does not go below 210. So when ever i am not going over 60 its so damn hot on…
- Mechanic in Seattle? I've used Everett Powersports and have been happy with their work, when I called Ride Motorsports in Woodenville, they couldn't quote for time for a job, I don't like that, I like to know what I'm going to pay up front…
- How hot is hot? Summer is here! [image: View Post]mk2davis, on 11 June 2012 - 11:42 AM, said: Did it hit 229 and then go down? Assuming it did, you should be fine. I'd certainly check you cooling system over just to be on the safe side. Some have…
- How hot is hot? Summer is here! Thanks for the tips folks, I will certainly flush and fill my radiator, just wanted to see what people were seeing on their gauge, thanks again for the help and info!
- How hot is hot? Summer is here! OK, well summer in Seattle is a relevant term, especially since I was born and raised in Hawaii, but I digress... I want to know at what temp should I start getting worried about. The owner's manual states the warning…
- Cozye Map question Thanks for the replys, the reason I uploaded Cozye's map was I wasn't sure what map was in there, thought I'd try something different, sounds like the Cozye's map will work just fine according to your feedback, thanks a…
- Cozye Map question So I just downloaded the Cozye Map for my 2002. The one I replaced had 2002, O2 gone and Staintune Exhaust. The new map from Cozye says 2005, Staintune, 02 Gone and K&N air filter. My question is I don't have a K&N air…
- Would you buy another 6th Gen VFR? Yes I love this one so much I am looking for new old stock. I can't find any locally, any ideas on how to do a nation wide search? I currently own a 2003 VFR and a Suzuki Intruder and would sell both to get a new old…
- Stripped Oil Drain Plug, am I screwed? Thanks for the feedback folks, I actually need it for a ride this weekend so I'm just going to have a Heli Coil installed by a dealer and call it good. I appreciate everyone's ass kicking to not let that plug stay in as…
- Stripped Oil Drain Plug, am I screwed? As everyone said, there are only two possible paths to follw: 1 - Re-tap the buggered hole 2 - Replace the pan. The fact that it holds oil means nothing. It will let go with out any doubt. Thanks for the info, I'll just…
- Stripped Oil Drain Plug, am I screwed? Wow, lots of faith out there, you folks must think I have this thing loosely attached. For the record, it threaded the whole way through then spun without resistance for about a turn then is now tight. It's been tested…
- Stripped Oil Drain Plug, am I screwed? Well I got two new plugs. Hand screwed in the first one until halfway then needed to force it, then I added oil and ran it until it got 150 degrees, then shut it off, then I removed the plug and drained the oil again…
- Stripped Oil Drain Plug, am I screwed? Thanks for all the info folks, for the record, I *was* trying to remove the bolt, not Superman the thing back on... I can see a bit inside the pan and there was quite a bit of aluminum residue so I may have messed up…
- Stripped Oil Drain Plug, am I screwed? Hello, So last night I had a brain fart and tried to TIGHTEN my oil drain plug instead of lossen and when it began to freely spin, I finally realized my error. Here's a pic of the damaged plug, threads and worked over…
