Last 50 of 324- Interesting....lack of participation on this topic I think your closing point is kind of the reason. We can generalize, but you'll find what works for you if you ride enough. Maybe it'd be better to focus discussion on what not to do, things that are pretty much…
- Tires again !! I put a Q3+ on the back of mine. Just swapping the rear from my worn-out T30 made it feel like a 250 in comparison. Can't speak, yet, of the mileage, but I'm happy with the handling and grip. I haven't had it in the wet…
- Angled Valve Stems I dunno. Mine have done 130 so far and at least 85 every day with no noticeable ill effects. What I do anticipate is much easier access for hoses and gauges, and no more scars on my hands from rushing at the gas station…
- Angled Valve Stems [image: 41d496459f216247dd2007a35f5b3120.jpg] Coming from Cycle Gear, they're likely Chinese. The price tag ($19.99) says "11.3mm" on it. It does have a metal cap that I didn't notice, that's something I'll have to…
- Angled Valve Stems I had one installed on my rear wheel a few weeks ago when I had a tire put on at Cycle Gear. They just grabbed one off the rack and it worked, so I don't know what size. I can go and dig the package with the other stem…
- RC30 Arai, who's gonna buy it? I really don't like Snell. Their procedure requiring two drops on the same spot seems pointless to me and makes the helmet unnecessarily hard. Instead of allowing more compression of the EPS from the initial hit, it has…
- RC30 Arai, who's gonna buy it? I'll never wear a bargain basement helmet, but I think at some point, you're paying for prestige, features, lighter materials, and aerodynamics. My favorite (and most expensive) helmet was an Arai RX-Q, and my next will…
- RC30 Arai, who's gonna buy it? Yeah, I like it on its own, and I love Arai, but they're getting a little too rich for me. My RX-Q was around $400 in 2010 and that's about as high as I see extra money being worth it. It's insane, some of the Arais and…
- RC30 Arai, who's gonna buy it? Holy Jesus. I knew they were collectible, but not that collectible. I'll be they've priced this helmet accordingly as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Time to sell That's 2500.25 cc per cylinder. Torque must be amazing. I'm not sure why you'd swap out the auto tires, though. It's a hassle going from rains to touring to track manually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- RC30 Arai, who's gonna buy it? I almost want to scrounge up the money for an RC30 just to get this to match it. Hell, I'd still wear it on my RC79 if I were to spend over $500 on a lid. [image: 1ef28d767e7335c8eee892c0e37313f9.jpg] Sent from my…

- -1/+2 520 conversion. Gear position indicator fault. 520 was easiest for me to find quickly. I really don't care about a tiny weight savings, but I'll take it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- What did you do to your VFR Today? PetePower I fitted my new SC Projects Titanium Conic Carbon Cap exhaust. [image: 5a581be1dd604_SCSide.thumb.jpg.70f2ab5994c82f258b119e1b3a827a33.jpg][image:…

- '17 VFR v. '17 Ducati SuperSport S (MCN Comparo) Tiutis It would be a bad-ass analogy, If only Interceptor kept the value like the NSX:). Those that kept their NSXs in the past 5-10 years, are very happy owners indeed. I wish I'd bought an S2000 when I was in college…
- Tires! I like Revzilla, but being owned by Cycle Gear, I don't care too much about them. Still, I imagine this when I read this response. [image: 1zzkr6f.jpg] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Chain Mileage That's interesting, I wouldn't have thought a 525 and 520 sprocket were the same. I agree, thought, that a 520 chain is just fine for a 100-HP bike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Chain Mileage Katie Only one garage open over Xmas and my chain's tight spot had reached a dire level so have had a 520 chain put on with the existing sprockets. The garage didn't think the sprockets were worth changing so, working…
- Chain Mileage 20k without a constant stream of oil. Nice, for sure, but I'm pretty happy with my results without. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Chain Mileage I cleaned and lubed once a month at best and changed the OE chain at about 20k, riding in all weather conditions. This was certainly neglectful, but I think it shows a quality chain is a lot more durable than some…
- Alternative Motorcycle Transportation I'm just curious how long these cars hold up before they become too warped to drive. I agree, probably cheap, junk cars combined with beer and Sawzalls. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Alternative Motorcycle Transportation The Civic is carrying a 919. You meet the _________est people on a Honda. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- End of an Era - No More VFR? Sorry, I was using "screamer" to refer to an even-firing I4. Is that incorrect? The sound is definitely the advantage I care more about as I don't have a bike on the track, but I looking for a more quantifiable…
- Alternative Motorcycle Transportation I don't know how the exhaust is routed, but I am wondering if he's crushing some part of the exhaust. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- End of an Era - No More VFR? I think that they need to develop a new V4 if they're going to build another one. This lump is beyond long-in-the-tooth. Bulletproof, yes, but with newer technology, I believe they could produce something with 20-30%…
- End of an Era - No More VFR? So, give us a lighter V4 in a lighter frame. Strip the fairings off if it'll help sales, I won't mind. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Alternative Motorcycle Transportation Good thing he put that towel down. I'd hate to see any body panels get damaged. Certainly not those fenders. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Ducati supersport Nice! I dig the pipes. Must feel good to be senseless. I guess now, you can't even carry your wallet and you have to plan for three breakdowns on every ride. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Sprocket change Stock gearing is 15/42 where? I still don't think that's low enough for 80 to be just below VTEC. I changed to 15/45 and VTEC comes in at ~83-84. It'll come in as late as 7k/~87 if I'm just slowly easing up, I guess it…
- Sprocket change I can't remember, I think the "15T" faced out, but I set them both on a flat surface with the inside face of the stock sprocket facing down and checked which way it needed to face for the teeth to align. Sent from my…

- Sebspeed Clutch Window Mod Group Buy 2017 I will be down after I recover from Christmas. Not right now, though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
- Tires! I did not like BT016s and said I'd never go back to Bridgestone, but I'm pretty happy with T30 Evos. They feel good, plenty of grip, inspire confidence. I'd feel comfortable doing a track day on them. I've been to the…
- Grandstands Silverstone I'm happy to see nobody dominating. Three different manufacturers in the top three spots, with Dovi leading on a Ducati, sounds exciting to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

- 2014 VFR 800 review...owned one month, 4000 miles. No time to read that right now, but I'll say that I subscribed to Cycle World for 99¢ on Prime Day (and I'd be upset if I'd paid more) and they could really use someone as thorough as you. I did glance over it, and…
