- How Does The 8Th Gen Rate? Is It The Best Vfr Yet? jhenley17 I think elsewhere on the forum, he mentioned a failure of the forks. While it was probably a freak occurance, I'd probably feel the same about it if that had happened to me and it were my hide on the line.…
- How Does The 8Th Gen Rate? Is It The Best Vfr Yet? jhenley17 It's not a jump in power, it's like an interruption in the acceleration or hesitation. The dealer I bought from is having a dyno day next weekend. They won't be hooking the a/f up, but I'll at least be able to…

- My Eighth Gen Setup By Dave Moss Nice write up. What I will say that it's more important to get the sag correct first then work on the damping That is both static sag and rider sag. Get them done first then alter the damping. Searching the net for…
