  1. Schuberth and Held Parking lot sale 6 Dec 2018 15:36 Duc2V4, 12/4/2018 at 4:52 PM I use my SR1 predominantly at the track Ditto. SR1 for the track and Arai Signet for the street.
  2. Schuberth and Held Parking lot sale 4 Dec 2018 19:01 I have the SR1 -- great helmet and the SR2 should be just as good.
  3. What is considered high KMs or miles for a VFR 25 Sep 2018 20:19 For perspective, here are the things I've had to do for my 6th gen VFR (and its only average for mileage) beyond chains, brake pads, and fluids. * Front brake rotors, steering head bearings, fuel pressure regulator, and…
  4. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 23 Aug 2018 16:02 Duc2V4, 8/21/2018 at 10:28 AM Sweet! Did you trade in your 900SS for it? No, I sold the 900SS about a year ago. Got the big twin itch again and sold the FZ1 to make room for this one. Total cream puff with 8K miles and…
  5. Multiple Bike Disorder (MBD) 21 Aug 2018 14:26 My newest addition to the garage. [image: 43458045914_d77d09f147_b.jpg] [image: 43435203034_bd946bf474_c.jpg]
  6. Which tires for upcoming track day? 12 Jun 2018 16:34 I run S21's and never had any grip issues with them. I had a problem with Q3's (splitting) and never went back to Dunlop -- can't comment on Q3+ or Q4. [image: aXXcdmd.png]
  7. Help me decide.....sell the VFR 10 Jun 2018 15:04 18 hours ago, Zeta New 8th gens are going about 50% off MSRP which puts a hurt on all VFR's. My jaw dropped when I went window shopping last week and found a brand new left over 8th gen for $7500.
  8. Anybody do track days? 13 Jul 2016 16:54 I got to ride Barber once, and it is a crazy beautiful track. If you ever head south to Jennings GP let me know and I'll try to join you. I go to all the Southern Track Days events as a professional Novice-group rider.…
  9. Tires! 22 Jun 2016 20:39 4 hours ago, Switchblade Ordering two sets today ... They're awesome. Used them at my last track day and they stuck like glue and wore well. Even the tire guy at the track (a Pirelli fan boy) likes the S21.
  10. 2016 TexasMac official Picture & Home Safe Thread 16 Jun 2016 14:42 10 minutes ago, MaxSwell Don't ask me how I know. Your encounters with deer are forever enshrined in VFRD lore! :beer:
  11. 2016 TexasMac official Picture & Home Safe Thread 16 Jun 2016 14:23 CornerCarver, 6/14/2016 at 9:02 PM You should join us at CMP on July 2-3.... That sounds like a blast, but it's a cruel world. Had to miss a track day two weeks ago and now you tell me there's a VFR track day that I…
  12. Sportbike Track Time Group discount. 16 Jun 2016 14:22 007, 6/15/2016 at 6:05 AM What recommendations are there for safety wiring the oil filter? [image: 12335125813_f8aa34e0d7_b.jpg]

  14. 2016 TexasMac official Picture & Home Safe Thread 10 Jun 2016 14:14 8 hours ago, MaxSwell ... from Mike in Murphy ... My good buddy gr8vfr. I hope you at least mocked his hair cut.
  15. Very Loud Clutch Noise After Front Sprocket Replacement 7 Dec 2015 21:51 At first I thought it sounded completely normal. Then I realized that it's because I'm too used to my Ducati's dry clutch rattle. Is that noise there only when cold or does it go away/lessen after the bike gets up to…
  16. In The Middle Of A Chain And Sprocket Replace. Need Advice Now. 5 Dec 2015 14:24 While you have the sprocket off, check the speedometer sensor for wear. There's a nylon piece that fits over the sprocket nut that can wear/round-out and will cause a jumpy speedometer.
  17. 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? 9 Oct 2015 20:40 Tightwad I wouldn't suggest a Ricks stator for a 2002 however as I don't know that it is compatible with the recalled rotor they used for that year. The 21-120 Rick's stator seems to work fine on a 2002 with the recall…
  18. Which Used Vfr Would You Lean Toward? 9 Oct 2015 20:27 I'm in the Orlando area. Yellow 2000: http://tampa.craigsl...5169304496.html Red 2002 http://tampa.craigsl...5223832036.html Red 2004 with bags https://spacecoast.c...5198195833.html Orlando -- so not too far and some…
  19. Which Used Vfr Would You Lean Toward? 9 Oct 2015 18:47 Where in Florida? Links to the classified ads for the three VFRs you mentioned? I'm new to the forum here, and that's because I'd like to get back on a VFR.
  20. Riding From Florida To Texas (November) 3 Oct 2015 21:49 RollinAgain You'd be crazy not to include the Barber Motorcycle museum near Birmingham, Alabama (if you've never been before) That place is freaking amazing!!! I've been 3 or 4 times and I never get bored of it. I was…
  21. Riding From Florida To Texas (November) 2 Oct 2015 18:49 dutchinterceptor I'm sure they could offer up some info regarding roads, sites, and food suggestions depending on your plans/interests/time-frame. That sounds great. Current plan is to have Nac as my turn-around point…
  22. Riding From Florida To Texas (November) 2 Oct 2015 16:08 After a long, hot summer here in Florida I decided to take a short trip in mid-November as the weather cools. Looking at about 2500 miles round trip across the southern parts of LA, MS, AL and TX that I've never been in…

  24. Keith Code California Superbike School Vir May 13,14 25 Nov 2014 23:44 Not doing VIR, but I will be at Barber for CSS on May 31-June 1.

  26. Pazzo Lever Question 18 Aug 2014 12:30 I used some JB Qwik Weld to add material to the surface of the lever where it meets the switch. One option should you need it later on. ;)
  27. Vfrd Fall Meet (Oct. 10-14) Boone, Nc @ Greene's Motel. 26 Jul 2014 13:48 I would normally be signing up for a fall trip to the mountains, but I'll be out in California.
  28. Random Stalling 6 Jun 2014 03:58 Check your kill switch. Clean it.
  29. Wtf Is This? Gross Clutch Resevoir 9 May 2014 07:25 I have been down that road twice now. Use snap ring pliers to remove the piston and clean it. Clean the reservoir and pay special attention to the very small return port. Flush the line (I used compressed air). Clean…
  30. Tmac- A Refresher Of "the Pace" For Everyone 27 Apr 2014 23:25 ... one of our exercises was to try and do the whole session without brakes... California Superbike School does the same thing. 1st track sesson is 2 gears, no brakes and second is 3 gears, no brakes.
  31. Hard Time Finding Slip On 25 Apr 2014 17:55 Yep, check the classifieds here. I scored a near-perfect set of Remus for my 6th gen from huntingguns ... couldn't be happier.
  32. 6Th Gen Getting ~30Mpg...? 23 Apr 2014 08:58 Nuts.
  33. Fuelly - Lies & Statistics? 16 Apr 2014 12:47 My black bar starts blinking around 175-180 on my 6th gen. I've never taken it to the red blinky even after putting 190-195 miles on the tank. Fat man, top case, Remus + PCIII.
  34. 6Th Gen Hazard Issue 16 Apr 2014 11:26 Hazard switch ? The newer 2004+ models have hazards -- we early 6th gen folks got shafted.
  35. No Signals, Horn Or Brake Light, Not The Fuse 15 Apr 2014 14:18 And now that im thinking about it, there may be a vfrness on it. There was a big rectangular piece electrical taped in the harness near the front left.of the bike. I assumed.it was a connector, it may be a fuse holder.…
  36. Hooking Up A Switch And Need To Double Check This 8 Apr 2014 04:03 Put a fuse in there.
  37. Official Roomate Thread - Tmac 2014 5 Apr 2014 18:15 ... no Guantanamo Bay music in the room when I'm present. Hey now! I have excellent taste in music. [image: 389768427_d7e0b014f0_z.jpg] [image: 389774849_bc82a73bf8_z.jpg]
  38. New Yuasa Ytz14S Batteries On Ebay: $60 Plus Shipping 5 Apr 2014 00:22 Trickle charged the battery overnight. It load tested as "good" and registered 13.11v on the multi-meter. She is in the bike and all is well (except for my fried stator connector). Happy days!
  39. New Yuasa Ytz14S Batteries On Ebay: $60 Plus Shipping 2 Apr 2014 14:55 Mine showed up yesterday -- haven't installed it yet.
  40. New Yuasa Ytz14S Batteries On Ebay: $60 Plus Shipping 28 Mar 2014 11:46 I just picked one up. My current battery isn't that old but it didn't want to start yesterday and the battery voltage is dropping to <8 when starting.
  41. 6Th Gen Getting ~30Mpg...? 21 Mar 2014 00:12 PorradaVFR Wish me luck! :goofy: VAYA CON DIOS!!!
  42. 6Th Gen Getting ~30Mpg...? 15 Mar 2014 18:21 Al -- did I mention that I did the de-PAIR on my bike when I had the fueling fixed? Pulling the PAIR stuff can't hurt.
  43. 6Th Gen Getting ~30Mpg...? 15 Mar 2014 12:45 Does that say 75 HP max???!!! Should be 100+.
  44. It's Time For New Tires! 26 Feb 2014 12:19 I thought the RC51 was stock with 190/50 size (like my FZ1)? Do you like the taller rear for better turn in? timmythecop I am also shopping. what shall I put on the RC51? (of course the most expensive size in all brands…
  45. Shock Remote Reservoir Mounting 20 Feb 2014 14:29 HighSideNZ Not sure if you want the reservoir out of the airflow and in where the heat off the exhausts can have an effect on it. Just my 2 cents worth. It's an FZ1 so the exhaust comes off the front of the bike,…
  46. Shock Remote Reservoir Mounting 11 Feb 2014 10:44 AnikMankar isn't that going to pick a lot of dirt ? The rear hugger and rear fender are still in place, so it stays clean.
  47. Shock Remote Reservoir Mounting 10 Feb 2014 18:37 On my 6th gen I have the usual "zip tie it to the left sub-frame" mounting point, but my local suspension guy mounted the reservoir on my FZ1 a bit differently. He used 2" t-bolt hose clamps (used for automotive turbos)…
  48. Nasty Snatch? 3 Feb 2014 10:14 Is the chain properly adjusted?
  49. Fuel Pump Won't Activate 25 Dec 2013 13:28 See if you are getting 12v at the brown connector under the tank. http://www.vfrdiscus...ck-on-the-road/
  50. Helmet Speakers 26 Nov 2013 00:46 2thdr Come back and tell us how it affects the battery life of the unit. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2 I'm back to tell you how it effects the battery life of the unit.... apparently, little or no effect…
