  3. 1998 Winter Overhaul 17 Aug 2015 00:08 I like that voltmeter. Good luck I'm sure you'll get it all sorted. Speaking of sorted, maybe you can have the wife clean out your garage while you're gone ;-P
  4. Sag Setup Procedure On Stock 97 Suspension 16 Aug 2015 13:37 Some worthwhile reading on suspension set up is in this pinned post: http://www.vfrdiscus...ransformed-wow/ Though not specific to 4th gens, it addresses both free sag as well as total sag. Interesting reading. After…
  5. Sag Setup Procedure On Stock 97 Suspension 16 Aug 2015 00:58 Great, thanks! So 32mm total sag is the target.
  6. All Vfrs... Check Your Water Pump "weeping Hole" - Now! 13 Aug 2015 17:51 I bet a small wasp filled the hole. Many small round openings in stuff in my garage have been packed with mud from wasps, some wasps quite tiny.
  7. Sag Setup Procedure On Stock 97 Suspension 12 Aug 2015 18:34 I searched and didn't find it. Figure I should try to set my sag properly. On a whim, cranked in more rear preload, to two more lines covered than standard. On my normal ride, it felt harsher, which I think shouldn't be…
  8. Petition To Ban French Vf/vfr Ownership! 7 Aug 2015 15:42 La vfr's, c'est merde!
  9. It's Time To Sell My Viffer...bittersweet 16 Jul 2015 18:33 I believe you mean "primary chain rattle.". Congrats on a job in the industry, I do know from the Beer industry you better never be seen drinking a competitors product! Perhaps you could disguise the viffer......
  10. Tire Thickness When Showing Cord 6 Jul 2015 12:00 That tire easily has another 1000mi in it! I change immediately at the first contact with treadwear indicators.
  11. Deltran / Battery Tender, Making Litium Batteries Now? 2 Jul 2015 12:07 When I got mine for the Suzuki, I upsized to the largest one that would fit the battery box, battery measurements are on their site. That's SPRUNG weight btw.
  12. Deltran / Battery Tender, Making Litium Batteries Now? 2 Jul 2015 00:06 I have had one in my Suzuki Katana for several months, really spins the starter fast. May buy one for the vfr, it's about 5lbs lighter in addition to the fast cranking. Bought it from Amazon.
  13. New Member/ New Owner Of 1986 Vfr700F 27 Jun 2015 18:42 Is that an Aprilia on the bench? I used to ride a Tuono 1000.
  14. New Member/ New Owner Of 1986 Vfr700F 27 Jun 2015 18:18 Beautiful bike with great family history.....do NOT sell it!
  15. 4Th Gen Tires 26 Jun 2015 15:10 You left out the Shenko 009! :P That's what came on my "new" 97. I feel every road surface imperfection in the curves but otherwise they worked for the month it took me to decide on replacements. They've gone 5000mi and…
  16. Looking To Trade My Atv For A 95 Vfr 750... Need Some Help 25 Jun 2015 13:37 The mid-fairings and lower fairing are more than badly rashed, they're missing. Which suggests they were destroyed, unless he was just going for the naked look, and still has them. Flat black paint is a quick and cheap…
