All 30- I Hate These F#$King Fairings. I find the right side is easier than the left so that's a bit strange.
- Lifts Abba Vs Bursig ^ Ooops, i stand corrected (like the pun?). Must wear my glasses. Well no your right is as much as its not listed under the Abba Skylift, but it is listed under the Abba Superbike Stand which uses the same fitting kit.
- Lifts Abba Vs Bursig VFR 1200 is not listed on the UK Abba site. However if you know a local machine shop etc they could turn up two easily. My school DT dept turned two up for me for the BBird. The fitting kit is available for the VFR1200…
- Lifts Abba Vs Bursig Yes I know what you mean I had a large ramp and even though I have a double garage I found it was in the way. Plus you still need to put the bike up on paddock stands on the ramp to get the wheels off. I find the Sky…
- Lifts Abba Vs Bursig M8, what part of the bike rests on the lift? Looks like it just goes beneath the centre stand. I was considering buying one of these at the NEC Bike Show last Nov but didn't because they said they couldn't make it fit…
- Lifts Abba Vs Bursig You certainly can use the Abba Skylify with a VFR1200, i'm in the process of modifying mine so I can attach a strap round the diff housing to a lower arm so that I can raise it in the wheelie position safely IMG 1004…
- I Hate These F#$King Fairings. It's just one of those things that with a little luck and practice they become much easier. The first time I took the left side fairing off. It took me ages and lots of swearing to get it back on, but now I can get it…
- I Hate These F#$King Fairings. That lift is awesome! You paid a pretty penny for it I am sure. I am using a harbor freight lift and I think it is wonderful, but doesn't hold a candle to that baby. It's an Abba Sky lift they are £430 over here not…
- I Hate These F#$King Fairings. I would not be without the lift My knees and back are not great so crawling around on the floor when its only 4 degrees is not on Good idea on the air filter I have done that before, I usually spray them with brake…
- I Hate These F#$King Fairings. Pulled mine to bits on Saturday to fit the PCV it did not take too long about 2 1/2 hours IMG 1004 VFR1200 on Abba Sky Lift
- Clutch Pull You should have bought a DCT John. They are great for commuting, I'd have bought one myself but there are no new ones available
- Mirror Snapped Off By Passing Car Elfreako as annoying as it is, the van driver was an arse, but just let it go, the police won't want to know and your insurance company won't pursue it Just chalk it down to bad luck. Knight is absolutely right don't…
- Mirror Snapped Off By Passing Car Well you have his registration number, you could give It to your insurance co, but I reckon insurance companies would say 50 / 50 The road is quite narrow for two vehicles and you are in the middle of the lanes.
- I Hate These F#$King Fairings. Perhaps I'm just lucky but have had both sides off and on without any problems. But Dave K5 is your man he's had several bikes to bits and his own fairings off a number of times. I don't think he has any problems
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question you mention people screaming the benefits of the reflash but has any of it sunk in ???? i'm tired of writing this shit out for people to ignore ....the overall rieability of the bike is gratly improved.....i'm not…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question it's ok, thanks for the offer but I'm far from spanner shy :) Yes sorry John was confusing you with some else who posted on the other forum about brakes sticking on. ha ha..... That would be me then Well yes it was T, I…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question it's ok, thanks for the offer but I'm far from spanner shy :) Yes sorry John was confusing you with some else who posted on the other forum about brakes sticking on.
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question I'm assuming you mean while they're off the bike...isn't GT85 a lubricant? Wouldn't imagine that's good to have around the pads and discs?! Yes of course when off the bike, you can't clean them properly when they are…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question Give them a good clean and spray with GT85 I find that works well
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question I might even meet you guy's part way, I have a mate who lives in Royston
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question John, always difficult to pick up from the keyboard whether someone is tongue-in-cheek or serious. Perhaps I haven't ridden my 1200 enough or don't ride it where a 40bhp loss is significant, but I can honestly say I…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question You had the reflash done then John ?
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question Running it in? Doesn't need that, thrash it! YKIMS! to run them in properly, firm acceleration and deceleration but limit max revs in other words yes thrash it :biggrin:
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question Chanmenie, thanks for the offer m8, I may well take you up on it but I wont be back in the country until May at the earliest. :beer: Well that gives me plenty of time to finish running it in and fitting the Z Bomb then
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question i have not fitted my Z Bomb yet but you can come and try it when I do
- Panniers Go with genuine panniers John then no rack required, they just clip on and of so easily and are supported by the pillion foot peg mounts you should notice a rubber bung on the bar that extends from the back of the…
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question Nice one
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question Yes Dave knows his stuff How did you manage that John second hand ?
- Bazzazz Z-Bomb Question Yes custom maps are preferable, but they are only as good as the guy using the dyno
- Big H Issued A Recall On Vfr1200F And Vfr1200X Re:drive-Shafts Dae Mine failed over 2 years ago and cost me $2000 in repair cost, I wish the recall came out earlier. Well now H have agreed there's a problem I'b asking for some compensation
