  1. Electrical Gremlins Appear When Warmed Up 29 Mar 2018 21:15 Thanks Terry for the sound advice. However this bike has left me stranded too many times to not panic when electrical issues arise. My concern is that this did not used to happen. It just started about a week ago. If my…
  2. Electrical Gremlins Appear When Warmed Up 28 Mar 2018 23:38 Just when I thought I killed off the gremlins..... Once the bike heats up to when the fan kicks on, the idle charge drops from a 13.9-14.1 V down to as low as 12.8 V. Have R/R from roadstercycle (less than year old),…
  3. Rear Brake Issue 21 Mar 2018 03:33 Thanks All! I replaced the rearset with a "new" one from ebay. Brake and brake light working great..... But as I was riding today I noticed my voltmeter reading between 13.1V and 12.8V. at idle! Replaced the R/R with a…
  4. Rear Brake Issue 15 Mar 2018 23:45 Any suggestions on how to remove this stripped screw? It's in just about the worst spot. Finally got the clevis pin, a new rearset, and the proper socket to take off the swingarm pivot nut, just hung up on this b****.…
  5. Rear Brake Issue 9 Mar 2018 21:18 Does anyone know what size this swingarm pivot bolt hex nut is? I see the torque spec in my manual, but not the nut size. [image: 20180309_154037.jpg]

  7. Rear Brake Issue 6 Mar 2018 21:11 Thanks a bunch Terry, and everyone else. Ordered a new pin and rear set. I just replaced all radiator hoses right before this ordeal, so hopefully she'll be ready for some serious miles next week.
  8. Rear Brake Issue 6 Mar 2018 01:53 3 hours ago, JZH It's not plastic... And aren't you missing your clevis pin? Rear footpeg hangers should be fairly easy to find on eBay (they are over here); I don't think it's really fixable. Ciao, I was thinking…
  9. Rear Brake Issue 5 Mar 2018 19:32 Hello Fellow VFR Nuts, As I was riding today the rear brake stopped working. It looks like a plastic piece on the rear set that holds the rear brake light switch has broken.... and upon further inspection it appears…
