- What are your tricks to clean out coolant reservoir sediment? 20 hours ago, mello dude Since I am doing full cooling system refresh, also want to clean out the coolant reservoir too. Regarding your full cooling system refresh I was wondering if you decided to do anything more than…

- 5th Gen Coolant Level I can’t remember if there’s a diagram in the FSM but I’d “top-off” by filling the radiator. Put a paper towel in place to catch any coolant that’s displaced by the cap. Check the level in your overflow reservoir (left…
- It was too cheap! Such a great color on a 6th Gen. Congratulations on the acquisition! Yes more pictures would be welcomed!
- WHAT?! Sheesh, poor fella (the bike).
- Does the side stand require lubrication? 22 minutes ago, Grum Absolutely no need to remove the center stand just for cleaning or lubing. Same approach to Sidestand just general clean and a spray of lubricant into the pivot areas and it will be fine for another…
- Does the side stand require lubrication? 1 hour ago, Grum Generally just given the side stand piviot a wash down with kerosene and stiff brush to remove accumulated chain lube etc. then a squirt of wd40 keeps it swinging nicely. Thanks! I happen to be using…
- Does the side stand require lubrication? I’m in the middle of cleaning the rear swing arm, front sprocket & side stand of years worth of accumulated chain lube. The side stand pivot joint was covered and after cleaning it I’m wondering whether to install…
- Bleeder valve size for PCV 5 minutes ago, raYzerman If you completely remove that bleeder, you'll see it is a unique design, nicely sealed with an o-ring, no reason to replace it. I don't know of a SpeedBleeder that would fit. Thank you very much…
- Bleeder valve size for PCV Hey guys, I’m in the middle of a brake fluid flush and taking the opportunity to install speed bleeders this time. I’m looking at the diameter of the threaded portion of the PCV bleeder valve (still installed) it…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? On my ‘00, installed a recently sourced factory screen. The original had developed multiple cracks in recent years. Additionally, installed a used low-mount Two Bros aluminum slip on. Up to now I’ve run the factory…
- Changed seals & oil in forks - very stiff ride Sorry, realized after the fact that the linked post is a 6th gen. But maybe the principles can be applied.
- Changed seals & oil in forks - very stiff ride 1 hour ago, Vlad i.e. too much oil? wonder if I can check it somehow w/o taking the whole thing off the bike... check out this post; 30 minute fork oil change I’ve not done this myself and I didn’t read the entire…
- Thermostat replacement - hope to never do this again 4 hours ago, 8200rpm Thanks! As for the valve job, I was super tempted to get into those heads especially because it's such a hassle getting the airbox and throttle body off. My problem is that I have no patience when…
- Thermostat replacement - hope to never do this again 8200rpm, 2/29/2020 at 6:09 PM It’s coming together now... For anyone replacing hoses, please remember to replace the o-rings in the water joints to the head in between the V and the two on the port side. Looking…
