  4. Reserve A 5Th Gen Solo Rack From Kanadianken 17 May 2013 19:18 KanadianKen Actually - I'm a little surprised by how many have already signed up. Give it a week or two, the list may continue to grow. I'll have to dig back into my PM's from members asking for a 5th gen rack - that I…

  7. Who Can Read These; How Do My Spark Plugs Look? Kind Of Weird... 13 Mar 2013 11:37 . Please explain this plug chop procedure. On a carbed bike, 90% on the time you are running on the needle, so that is where the plug check should be done. The way I do it on my carbed bikes is get on the highway with a…
  8. Who Can Read These; How Do My Spark Plugs Look? Kind Of Weird... 12 Mar 2013 17:56 Seem very rich to me. Seem odd that the black deposts are up on a few theads, were all the plugs a bit loose? Are they the heat range recommended? The only way to really check how your plugs look and how your carbs are…

  11. Diy Tire Swap - Bead Breaking 2 Mar 2013 21:53 Jeeze just rig up the two 2x4's with a long leg so you can lay the horizontal arm on your back/shoulder when rotating the wheels. I don't see how some of you use clamps, not saying it doesn't work, but usually you gotta…
  12. 5Th Gen, Removing Throttle Body 2 Mar 2013 21:10 Good timing, Just finished my gen 5 today for the same procedure. I also replaced the two orings between the heads and the cast elbow front and rear, so total of three orings, one t-stat, and three hoses. The frontmost…

  14. Luggage and Seat Suggestions for my 98' 1 Jan 2013 20:49 Mazaev you said------- Since I already had a 52l Givi, first thing I did was get the topcase rack. Eventually I picked the givi side case racks and it all comes together pretty nicely. I'm using a pair of Pelican cases…
  15. Back on the VFR: 5th gen Givi side cases recommendation 25 Oct 2012 16:58 I use a pair of Pelican 1550s mounted to the giving side rackwith an e52 givi on the back. It's relatively inexpensive and the pelicans are indestructible, making them great as crash guards. This setup is also quite…

  21. Valve check interval 2 Oct 2012 20:28 This is what I wanted to hear. :smile: Over the last two decades or more, push rod opposed twins, valve adjust about 4k max or starting gets hard, even with " High cam w/short push rods" same interval, no big deal to…
  22. Valve check interval 2 Oct 2012 13:05 WOW 136 views and no votes, I thought this poll would draw a bit of interest. I am more retarded than I thought. :wacko:

  24. Valve check interval 1 Oct 2012 19:04 I have done a few shim and bucket valve adjustment, tedious, but don't mind doing them if really need to. Reading about the infamous V-4, seem like the mill is so well put together from the factory, many engines are…
