All 21- Inflation just deflated me! I've been taking my tires & wheels to the local Honda dealer to have em mounted/balanced. Other day, left the rear wheel with worn out tire & new tire for r&r. Total price: $84.25 I asked "If I bought the tire from…
- Lifting to centerstand I turn the front wheel all the way to the left. With left hand on left bar & right hand on left grab handle & right foot on center stand, I then pull back with both hands & it lifts right up.
- Why Portugal MotoGP race red flagged ??????? This weekends MotoGP race in Portugal had several yellow flags & then after a 2 rider crash they red flagged the race!!!!! I don't think it was necessary. Both riders & bikes were off the track & no one seriously…
- COTA Tickets ? I got a message that COTA tickets will be for reserved seating only, no GA. But, ya can buy a reserved ticket & then wander about the grounds. What is this about? I've always bought the GA tickets cause we like to sit…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? About to put on a set of Metzelers. I run the tires down to near cord and it's vibrating above 90mph, so it's time.
- Cheaper gear indicator - 6th gen Tidy install! Please tell me more about that voltage gauge. Fit an '09? Thanks!
- Tire puncture opinions. I'd plug it until a new tire was procured. I carry a plug kit with CO2 cartridges for immediate use.
- Just about to hit 30,000kms on my RWB VFR 25th Good looking RWB! I have 25,000mi on my '09 bought new in 2011. I also don't ride in rain or water wash it. No problems with electricals so far, knock on wood.
- Any 6.5 gen VFR without a RR or Stator Failure? Mileage? '09 with 25,000 miles, no issues, keep battery on charger. Are these stator issues due to low battery power causing high resistance?
- Don't Cry For Me Argentina Spoiler I'm a huge fan of Marc but he learned two lessons today: 1. Don't lock horns. 2. He can't pick up the bike by himself. Fact is, a little more experience and he will reign king of MotoGP for many years in the future.
- Grips After installing new grips I suggest grip puppies or similar slip overs that will be sacrificial. My OEM grips still look new, using some foam type covers. It also gives a larger diameter for a better hold.
- Tire Changing For Cheapskates Cogswell One trick a friend showed me is to get some of the extra large zip ties at H.F. and run a few around the tire then between the bead(s) and rim and cinch down tight. Getting the two beads down in the drop center…
- Vfr1200 2015 BiKenG, I agree with you 100%, the 1200 must be viewed from "The Company's" motive. Honda's flagship bike is the CBR!
- Rc45 Turbo Rc46 Turbo And I thought adding mirror extenders to my '09 was a mod.
- Can Hear The V4 Finally - No More Music Videos Lol Sounds great ! Looks great ! What type/brand of sliders do you have mounted on the frame?
- 2007 Vfr800 Delkevic Looks & sounds great! I also need to know if the passenger pegs will fit with these?
- 6Th Gen Huggers Since installing the Competition Werkes fender kit on my '09, the road debris mainly flings up on the tail light and inside of the pipes. Once in a while I'll wipe off the little mud flap in front of the rear shock.…
- That Was Close... Caught On Tape. I've been harrassed several times by this one deer that lives a mile from my house. The first encounter, it was standing in the middle of the road, I honked, stopped about 20 yards from it, it just looked at me for a…
- Handlebar Vibration At 45-50Mph... Help! Dunlop Qualifier Performance tires. No high speed vibration detected. Just that window of speed when slowing down and taking hands off bars. Wasn't there before, it is the tires or the way they are mounted, ie,…
- Handlebar Vibration At 45-50Mph... Help! My '09 (7,000mi.) is doing the same thing, noticeable on deceleration around 55-45, hands off. Not noticeable with hands on. Only started happening after installed new tires. It has to be the tires, nothing else has…
- 6th Gen PAIR Valve Removal To ease removal of the gas tank and avoid spilling fuel, install one of these quick disconnects on the return line. They come in 1/4" and 5/16". Still on my to do list: https://www.denniski....prd/180692.sku
