- Gear change issues Philois1984, 7/10/2024 at 8:02 AM So!, I have changed the clutch fluid ( old fluid looked perfectly fine though, no gunk on the bottom of the reservoir) I changed the oil and filter , went back to 10W-40 and back to…
- Gear change issues 22 hours ago, Philois1984 Nearly all the riding I do on the VFR is open road riding. I never do clutchless gear changes. I’ll do the oil change and brake and clutch fluid flush and see what improvements if any I get.…
- Gear change issues I would be changing the clutch fluid. On another note do you clutch up or just roll off and clutchless change? If you do both does it feel clicky on each? Where is most of your riding done open road or town/city?

- 2014 VFR800 Front Wheel removal Terry, 4/25/2022 at 9:19 PM Not arguing there, but the torque on the brake bolts on all my axially mounted callipers is only 31 N-m. Which is not much more than snug. The service manual does state that the bolt is ALOC…
