All 18- Buttercup's Demise My thanks to everyone for the advice and good wishes. As to spud's question about what the other guy said, he didn't say much about WHY it happened, which I guess was just being smart on his part. He did say he was…
- Buttercup's Demise Early yesterday morning, as I was heading for Philadelphia to help teach an Advanced RiderCourse, my 1999 VFR (Buttercup) was rear-ended at a traffic light by an SUV. I always watch behind me when I'm stopped, and flash…
- What A Great Bike! I got the techspec ones. I think they might have actually sent me ones for a 6th gen, because they are a little too "pointy" on the front, but they work well.
- What A Great Bike! You could try putting grip pads on the tank and gripping with your knees. Mine will stop from 25 MPH in less than 20 feet, without crushing my delicate parts. Pretty sure the brake pads are OEM. Lots of practice of hard…
- Hi There... Hi Aaron, and welcome. I am a relative newcomer to the forum, but can heartily testify to the friendliness and helpfulness of the people here. I think my situation may be similar to yours, as I moved from a Ninja 250 to…
- Lifting Front Of Bike With Hoist zoomzoom Beck If the strap attaches to a point above the CG of the bike, I don't think it will flop over. Probably will move around when working on it though, which would be a pain. vfrurknee I wish I had a picture of…
- Lifting Front Of Bike With Hoist DucatiTerminator Just a thought -- do you have a local friend from whom you can borrow a Pitbull front end stand or similar? MIght cost you only a six-pack and possibly the appropriate steering stem pin. No, I don't…
- Lifting Front Of Bike With Hoist Beck Make sure you are hanging it off a strong/deep enough joist or truss in your garage too. I've seen enough garages and houses in my Architectural career that did not have adequate roof/ceiling structure to support a…
- Lifting Front Of Bike With Hoist Rice Put on center stand and stuff a paint can under the header. Floor jack works too, BTW So this gives enough clearance to get tire out from under fender?
- Lifting Front Of Bike With Hoist Almost time to replace front tire. Thinking of lifting front of bike with a come-along hanging from garage ceiling. My question is -- is it ok to lift by the handlebars, or do I need to attach somewhere else? Thanks.
- 2Nd Better Than 1St For Tight Maneuvers? I am working through the selection process for becoming a PA ridercoach, and this Sunday I have the riding test, so lately I have been practicing the tight figure eights, etc. I have done this occasionally all along,…
- When To Shift Weight In Corner Thank you everyone for all your input. You have given me a lot to think about. It will take time to digest everything and to experiment. But I am looking forward to it. I do hope to do a riding school sometime. I have…
- When To Shift Weight In Corner As a relatively new rider (18 months, 14K miles,) I am still figuring things out, which in motorcycling has a lot to do with cornering. For a while now, I have been experimenting with leaning my body more than the bike,…
- I Dropped Her! I just replaced my levers with aftermarket adjustable ones -- I have a spare OEM clutch lever if you need it. Used but never dropped. thank you! i have not had time to investigate yet where exactly it is bent. i might…
- I Dropped Her! in the parking lot at work, doing low speed figure eights (counterbalance). this is something i have practiced fairly often with both bikes, which i need to be good at for the rider coach thing, and i was doing it…
- Turn Signals Delayed In Cold Weather? i recently started a thread about this same thing. i have not yet gotten up the courage to take apart the switch, but i have learned a few tricks for living with it. it seems that the more it is used the better it works…
- That 5Th Gen Turn Signal Delay both sides do have the delay, but the right side is worse. sounds odd, i know, but if i remember right from my reseach, others have seen the same thing. i have also noticed that sometimes if, after waiting a few seconds…
- That 5Th Gen Turn Signal Delay hi, new VFR owner here... first off -- I LOVE THIS BIKE!! love it more every time i ride it. i knew when i bought it that there was an issue with the turn signals (a varying delay between hitting the switch and the…
