All 29- Here's your sign... Cool with me.
- Here's your sign... My schedule will not be free until October. I'm racing every weekend this month and possibly the first weekend of Oct, but I'm up for a ride after that.
- Here's your sign... Mebane
- Here's your sign... Guess it's just wrong to infer that anyone who rides a VFR would know that they have always been a V4. Perhaps it was my lack of coffee and time that made me impatient with the comment... I'm all for discussion of…
- Here's your sign... [image: View Post]vanion2, on 05 September 2012 - 10:26 AM, said: *shrugs* I was ignorant like that once too. Didn't know the difference between a V4 and an I4 until I owned the VFR. All sport bikes looked the same to…
- Here's your sign... Asked of me this morning while waiting in line at the convenience store: -"Hey, is that your VFR outside? Me: yes it is... -"Does it still have the V4 engine?" Me: puzzled look... um, yeah, always has... -"Cool, I have…
- ATGATT????? [image: View Post]MaxSwell, on 30 August 2012 - 03:17 PM, said: Cursed insects! And on top of insult upon injury, they may outlast us as a species. I trust you were able to keep it together after your encounter. Thanks…
- ATGATT????? One downside to not riding ATGATT is the inevitable yellow jacket sting in the middle of your thigh at speed. This causes immediate diversion of attention from the road ahead to the offending bastard of a flying insect…
- ATGATT????? [image: View Post]Beck, on 28 August 2012 - 06:01 PM, said: 1 mile?? Not worth all the effort and time of gearing up. Better off just walking over there, it might actually take just as long to do so as going ATGATT on a…
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis I'm stoked this morning as I finally got her buttoned up last night and rode in to work this morning. Everything I had been frustrated about earlier is gone! The throttle response is much crisper as is the power…
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis [image: View Post]tylerstock, on 29 August 2012 - 08:16 AM, said: Nice work! So you think it was a stuck float combined with bad gaskets? Absolutely the case. The gaskets were leaking on at least two of the float…
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis She lives and runs well on the stands. The tank and fairings will go on this evening with some low altitude test runs through my local farm roads. :cool:
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis necessity is the mother of invention... Using my bike workstand as a makeshift gravity fuel tank. [image: Posted Image]
- Dead battery, at work charging it, question about fuses. Sounds like a deeper problem than just the battery. I'd highly recommend a voltage diode test of your charging system with a multimeter for finding a long term solution. I would not recommend running your motorcycle…
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis Woohoo; new float chamber gaskets are here and will go on tonight! Hopefully riding again tomorrow.
- VFcRuiser show off Nicely done, but what size is that rear wheel? It looks like an 18" rim... might be visually deceptive though.
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis [image: View Post]Beck, on 20 August 2012 - 01:32 PM, said: As it seems like the carb boots are always one of the biggest items in the way of easily fixing things like these fuel leaks, had anyone ever consider…

- Help with fuel leak diagnosis [image: View Post]V-FORE, on 20 August 2012 - 11:55 AM, said: PM sent... also on the de-pairing, I have an extra set of plates I purchased. I will look for them tonight & will send them for the cost of stamps & a :beer:…
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis much appreciated. I'm fairly certain the leak is coming from failed gaskets. when I pulled them apart, the fuel was seeping around the screw threads. I'm now trying to find some NOS without breaking the bank. also fun…
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis boy y'all are a talkative bunch...
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis Yup... trial by fire is my modus operandi... [image: Posted Image]
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis sounds easy enough and I've done everything you've outlined with the exception of removing the carbs. Looks like it's a rainy day Sunday project for me today. Will it be necessary to synch the carbs after this project?
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis From the carb diagrams I have, it appears to be dripping from the float chamber. This can't be normal. Sorry for my lack of knowledge and silly questions. It's been over a decade since I've dug this deep into an engine.
- Help with fuel leak diagnosis After purchase, I purged all the bad fuel from the bike and replaced with fresh non-ethanol. Replaced the fuel line from the tank to the fuel filter and replaced the filter. All fuel leaks stopped... until yesterday. I…
- If VFR's last for ever, how come you see so few 4th. gens. on the road? [image: View Post]Switchblade, on 27 June 2012 - 06:04 PM, said: The same problem my 93 had no more pure gas. My carbs were messed up all the time from the additives in gas now days. This... I would say has a lot to do…
- Guess I should introduce myself [image: View Post]Dutchy, on 14 August 2012 - 06:06 PM, said: Welcome to VFRD from across the pond :tour: Road or dirt cycling? Crits, then road, then cyclocross and finally MTB six hour events. I'm a glutton for…
- Guess I should introduce myself Cliff's notes: I'm 37 now, cut my teeth on a '93 VFR way back when I was full of spit-n-vinegar. About a year after purchase, a lady pulled in front of me and crushed my baby into her hood. I moved on to various motos,…
