  1. Then and Now Images 29 Jan 2012 10:52 that's great stuff. thanks for making the effort.
  2. low RPM bogging/surging - resolved 26 Sep 2011 11:49 pretty much all year the bike has been misbehaving once it's warmed up (ran fine when cold) at low RPM. revs would drop below a certain threshold and the power would drop off dramatically as the bike would then 'bog…
  3. damn german efficiency 15 Jun 2011 16:01 it was a real person that raised the issue. we traded a few e-mails and they're going to send the tires. on his recommendation the pilot road 2 was swapped from 'C' spec to 'A' spec. no idea what that means, but it…
  4. damn german efficiency 15 Jun 2011 15:17 trying to order tires from a german company (i've ordered from them before, but never a full set, for the same bike at the same time). been running pilot powers up front and road2s on the back for a few years now....…

  6. The Bailey 14 Jun 2011 11:39 where was that photo of the bailey bridge taken? i swear i was just there last weekend, taking the scenic route back from the eifel. edit: if this is the one - http://maps.google.n...4,0.033023&z=16 , then i was…
  7. What I learned during TMAC 26 May 2011 11:35 [image: View Post]timmythecop, on 26 May 2011 - 06:18 AM, said: I also learned that if you bring Killboy a soda, he will put you on the highlights page those wheels are looking pretty gloss black. for shame.
  8. Six Week Epic Trip Planned! 19 May 2011 13:11 also in terms of enjoying the ride instead of doing a 'full loop', i'd recommend cutting out the southern florida loop and coming up from texas into arkansas instead... cross from there over tennessee/south carolina to…
  9. Does anyone do long rides with stock seat? 8 May 2011 07:48 i'm never sure what these guys are talking about. stock seat on my 5th gen, and i've been using it for long trips since i first got the bike 7 or so years ago. 2-up trips as well. 135,000km on it, at this point. at the…
  10. removing rear axle 4 May 2011 13:51 Dutchy I allready have plans for saturday, sunday maybe ? With Sunday being Mothersday.................... :laughing6-hehe: that doesn't concern me... but there is a forecast for some rain on sunday. maybe that'll…
  11. removing rear axle 4 May 2011 07:59 echt ware, hoor
  12. removing rear axle 4 May 2011 07:42 sweet! let's schedule a ride. saturday's weather looks perfect.
  13. Stop at all intersections 27 Apr 2011 20:47 yeah. be safe out there.
  14. Stop at all intersections 27 Apr 2011 17:01 i think i know what you're getting at, but i also think it's a bit dangerous to equate a colloquial habit with safe practice. here in holland, there's very few actual stop signs. almost every intersection is a yield (or…
  15. Here is a great little Canadian Motorcycle adventure Movie 25 Apr 2011 20:15 looked like a little gordon downie cameo in there as well (probably have to be canadian for that one).
  16. lots of talk about the rossi/stoner incident at jerez 10 Apr 2011 11:57 [image: View Post]Dmitry, on 09 April 2011 - 10:02 PM, said: I'm a big Rossi fan, but I have to disagree with you on this statement, IMHO Mike the Bike and Giacomo are front runners for the title. chalk up another vote…
  17. Nuclear Dikes 8 Apr 2011 21:13 nice find. i usually just fiberglass behind the panel, then sand/body-fill the now strengthened outer surface until it's good as new. then it needs some paint, which is the real variable when you want it to get back to…
  18. lots of talk about the rossi/stoner incident at jerez 6 Apr 2011 22:54 alright then... here's a different angle on the marshals (watch out for the sound, it's loud and bloody awful): maybe it's easier to get a running GP bike back on the track than it is to bump start one? maybe the…
  19. lots of talk about the rossi/stoner incident at jerez 6 Apr 2011 20:50 some pretty tough actions/words out of stoner on sunday. it reminded me of an incident in 2006 (over-shadowed by a much discussed other incident in that same race) involving stoner's own ambition/talent ratio: i wonder…
  20. How to you get the front end up? 12 Oct 2010 23:31 i generally use a phone book under the headers... works well enough.
  21. 86 vfr 700 sidecar wheelchair motorcycle vid 1 Aug 2010 13:49 very, very nice work. well done. enjoy it.
  22. Wheelie debate? 30 Jul 2010 08:42 [image: View Post]JB007, on 30 July 2010 - 01:27 AM, said: First of all let me start by saying I enjoy having both wheels on the ground but I was having a debate with a friend of mine who rides a GSXR 750 about…
  23. Broken Exhaust Stud 19 Jul 2010 09:16 when i did this, i rolled a nut onto the few remaining threads and had a buddy tack weld it in place. then i just wrenched the nut and stud combo out.

  27. 6th gen Stuck Oil Filter 19 Nov 2009 16:14 [image: View Post]elizilla, on 19 November 2009 - 11:09 AM, said: The VFR's filters work this way, since they have o-ring seals with a round cross section. Some other bikes use filters whose o-ring seals have a square…
  28. 6th gen Stuck Oil Filter 19 Nov 2009 16:06 like a couple others have mentioned, just put it on hand tight. it's more than sufficient and you won't have to fight to get it off when the time comes. i've never lost a drop of oil doing it this way. it just doesn't…
  29. Vfr1200 Engine Sound 30 Sep 2009 09:56 all business, no extra noise. love it.
  30. Nuclear Dikes 6 Aug 2009 22:14 how did i miss this? sorry to hear about the get-off, leon. looks like you're on top of the situation, though. good work. remind me not to follow you into those corners next time 'round.
  31. Dunlop Roadsmarts:5000 Mile Wear Report 8 Jul 2009 12:39 Rosso, there's definitely something about my riding style that keeps the heat out of the front... i've got a PR2 on the rear, but it's a pilot power up front, and i still can't seem to get any heat into it. i may start…
  32. 929 Shock Fitted Up 25 Jun 2009 12:33 wow. good info, and i'll probably use that method to get myself in the right ballpark... but my problem, at the time being, is that i haven't been able to physically adjust the pre-load, as of yet. on the VFR's shock, i…
  33. 929 Shock Fitted Up 25 Jun 2009 09:29 finally got my over-worn stock shock swapped out for the 929 unit (115k kms on the original... it was gone 20k kms ago, had the preload all the way up to stop it bottoming out). anyway. new shock feels much better...…
  34. Recommend A Tank Bag 2 Jun 2009 16:07 i've ridden in all kinds of rain with the oxford as well... the included rain cover isn't required. definitely not the case for my motopak saddlebags
  35. Recommend A Tank Bag 2 Jun 2009 12:11 i've used my oxford heavily for the last 4 years or so. it's faded a bit from the sun... but it's got a lifetime guarantee and i doesn't look like i'll be inquiring about that for some time. fits a full face helmet when…

  38. Oil Change 1 Mar 2009 22:50 i always put my filters on by hand... and tight as i can get it by hand. this works out to something approaching 1/4 turn past tight (usually a little less), with the gasket lubed with oil. usually comes off by hand as…

  40. Thinking Of Getting Out Of Motorcycling 28 Feb 2009 22:11 go track only. ride at your own pace... in one direction... in a closed, controlled setting... with no cages or intersecting streets... with maximum gear.
  41. The Eurofication Has Begun 29 Jan 2009 15:58 thought i'd add some information, in the event that it'd help someone down the road. orange running lights are not legal here... so the front signals will need that functionality disabled. from looking at the wiring…

  43. The Eurofication Has Begun 20 Jan 2009 08:59 step 1 is complete... now i need to get this thing registered and get some plates. http://www.3cpu.org/files/bike_punt_nl_s.jpg for you dutchies out there... i heard some rumours about coloured running lights not being…
  44. Adapter To Fit 929 Shock To 5th Gen Vfr 18 Aug 2007 02:40 yeah, but the original bolt needs to be ground off first to free the bracket... and more grinding/tack welding is required to set it all up for the new shock... i need to get to work every day... i can't take the bike…
  45. Adapter To Fit 929 Shock To 5th Gen Vfr 18 Aug 2007 02:33 so... the rear shock on my VFR is pretty much blown out... i still ride it, with the preload all jacked up... but it's loose back there. i have '929 shock to put on... but since i ride the bike to work every day and…
  46. Locations For Fiamm Highway Blaster Horns On 5th Gen? 7 Jun 2007 23:20 i have dual fiamms on my 5th gen... i just bolted them on exactly where the stock horn was... used the brackets that came with it and just fanned them out a bit and bolted them down.

  48. VTEC clearance check results 30 Mar 2006 17:29 it's all going to depend on the individual. he may only write things down if it's out of spec. so that he can figure out what size parts he needs to fix it. he may have some other scheme... who knows. it's very tempting…
  49. iPod volume changing? 21 Mar 2006 15:26 that link looks canuckalicious! thanks.
  50. iPod volume changing? 20 Mar 2006 18:35 i use foobar2000 to normalize the mp3 output of my collection. it's an mp3 playback program - but it has this feature. in foobar, it's called 'replay gain'. the dB adjustment required is written to the tags of the mp3…
