  1. If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? 17 Aug 2012 17:30 Pittsburgh seems to have a shortage as well. I have seen one 6th gen I believe, and that is it. I will occasionally drop by a local bike night (roughly 400 bikes show up) and still have yet to see one. Still enjoy…
  2. Replacing wheel bearings/where to buy wheel bearings 14 Aug 2012 22:29 Okay, Im going to order new bearings from allballs and replace them in a week or so. I put both wheels back on today with the old bearings still in, figure they are okay as they didn't wiggle or anything. My only…
  3. Replacing wheel bearings/where to buy wheel bearings 14 Aug 2012 18:11 Thanks. I just called my local shop, wanted 62 bucks for two bearings and seals. That kit has two bearings and seals for 18 plus shipping. Whoa.
  4. Replacing wheel bearings/where to buy wheel bearings 13 Aug 2012 23:43 Awesome info. Appreciate it. I'll check out my honda store to see how much their bearing are, might pay more just to get them in there and start riding again. The process doesn't seem too difficult.
  5. Replacing wheel bearings/where to buy wheel bearings 13 Aug 2012 20:16 So I ran over a screw a week or so ago and am just now pulling the wheels to get get new tires put on, I figure I will replace the front wheel bearings while I'm at it, as I know they're stock and they feel a little…
  6. 3rd gen fairing peices are available........for a price 11 Jul 2012 03:28 These people are atrocious. You buy three pieces of old, likely scratched and cracked plastic and they want you to pay more than what you probably would for a whole bike. Good God.
  7. Center-stand components? 10 Jul 2012 18:12 Nevermind, got it all on and the stand is functioning just fine. Still takes a decent amount of muscle to get it up but oh well. Thanks for all your help
  8. Center-stand components? 10 Jul 2012 17:18 Thanks for the pic. I am having some trouble here, however. I have the larger spring attached and everything is assembled except the smaller spring. It appears both of the spring go on the same points, however I cannot…
  9. Center-stand components? 9 Jul 2012 06:26 cbkenison, on 04 July 2012 - 03:02 PM, said: M8x20 bolt (I'm pretty sure), centerstand, pivot shaft, weird C-shaped bracket that springs attach to, 1 large spring with rubber housing, 1 smaller spring, and a washer. I…
  10. Center-stand components? 3 Jul 2012 04:56 Does anyone know all of the hardware used for the centerstand on a 96 vfr? I have a stand and the rod that connects underneath the bike, but I need the hardware. From what I can see on those for sale on Ebay there is a…
  11. 96 suddenly not running. 6 May 2012 05:26 Something interesting happened yesterday, when I attempted to start it up the entire dash would black out or the lights would flicker and blip for a bit. At this point the bike wouldn't even crank, so I checked the…
  12. 96 suddenly not running. 2 May 2012 22:02 I've had my vfr for about a month, been doing some cosmetic repairs, changed coolant/oil. The previous owner had dropped it twice and then it sat for about two years. Added some fresh gas and used a little carb/injector…
