All 18- Opinions 98 vfr800 I'll just add to not use K&N oil filters. They seem to not seat right on these bikes (or maybe others too). Lots of people have had problems with them leaking or blowing out going down the road. I mean LOTS! Other…
- Gear for a broke new rider I second looking at the pawn shops in your area. I found a nice pair of pants last winter that looked barely used. Was a good brand too but do not remember off top of head. Wanted only like $30 for them. I would have…
- K&N Oil Filter Failure Ehh, for the cost of the K&N, think I will stick with some of the recommended others below. Think they are over-priced and some of the others must work as good if not better. Plus, with all the hoopla about problems…
- K&N Oil Filter Failure Yes, as mentioned, same thing happened to lady over at VFRWorld. If you go to K&N's website or any other and look up that filter KN-204, every time in the description field it reads that the nut on end is for quick…
- Buying First Vfr Both look really good to me. I would say get the white/black though. Looks sharp to me with that paint scheme and I am a new fan of those white wheels. Guess I am partial to this color since I have had three silver/grey…
- Rear Brake Locking After Pressing Pedal I keep looking at this and keep wondering. Are you sure you bled brakes correctly since you did a lot of work on components and opened system up? It is my understanding that there is an order to bleeding. Your symptoms…
- Goodbye Vicky ! ( 8Th Gen ) Helloooo Natasha ! Zzr14 2015 Kawasaki store down the street had that exact bike I was checking out not long ago. That green really pops in person up close. Sales guy said that bike is scary fast and you better know what you are doing when riding…
- Words Cannot Describe... I'll bid $1, Bob.
- Clear Clutch Window I spam the hell out of the 6th gen forum with these pics. But I'll leave these here for anyone passing through. Maybe so, however, got to admit the new paint scheme turned out very, very nice so that makes it easy to…
- Runny Nose While Riding; What Do You Do? I always take decongestant and/or allergy meds before going riding. Afrin (occasional use) or something like Flonase spray helps sometimes too and take that with me. Also, I make sure I take antihistamine eyedrops with…
- Spark Plugs 6Th Gen Try http://www.rockauto.com Shows they have some left and ship all over world. $9.68 each, I think. (cannot directly link to it for some reason) Edited January 27, 2016 by GigemVFR
- Bleeding/fluid Replacement On Linked Brakes W/abs On 6Th Generation (The Ultimate Guide) Thanks jay-d for the pics and write-up. Used this weekend to change pads and flush/bleed all of system. Did not have speed bleeders or mightyvac and did old school way but had helper (a must) and seemed to work fine.…
- Which Locks Do You Use, For Safety When Parked? I have a disc lock on the front and another on the rear and lock the steering. I realize they could still pick up the bike and steal it that way, but at 500 pounds, that makes it much more difficult. I figure anything…
- Post your Voltmeter mount pics Anyone used this brand, Coromose? Looks like these pretty small and thin but no clue as to quality. http://www.amazon.com/Coromose-12V-24V-Motorcycle-Voltmeter-Waterproof/dp/B00S7FUT10
- Z50R's Not that year, but 2nd motorcycle I had was probably a '69 to '71 Honda 50 exactly like this (not my pic). Sure would like to have it back now, although it was pretty rough when I got it. Fun to ride though. [image:…
- Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread I have not bought the actual DuPont Chainsaver yet, but am finishing off can of the Dupont Multi-use Teflon lubricant. Think they are pretty close and it says on can that you are able to use on motorcycle chains. It is…
- Viffercrab's Chinese Fairings Build Thread I can see why you are getting excited. I am too and ready to see final product. That color scheme is going to look extra slick. Makes me think something similar in the greys, maroons and blacks would be a cool look too.…
- Any Good Shorter Rides Around Dfw? Know this is a little late just saw this thread and sure you will be looking for place to ride again. I have been on many of the roads above and they are in great area I ride as well. Here is also some roads farther out…
