  3. Prepping new to me 1998 17 Feb 2026 03:57 Perhaps I was overly optimistic when I initially looked at the clutch line fluid through the window. [image: IMG_0303.thumb.jpeg.0ab3accd816af4456aa4414d8889bcfa.jpeg] The bike ran fine but today I thought I better at…
  4. Prepping new to me 1998 12 Feb 2026 05:21 The elbow was bolted on a paper gasket with the rubber O-ring in place then welded, which fried the o-ring then gasket sealer was smeared on top of everything. Fortunately I am not seeing this kind of shenanigans…

  7. Prepping new to me 1998 7 Feb 2026 21:29 I only got to ride this 94 miles before the weather ended the 2025 riding season. Good thing I got in 11,000 miles on my ST1300s. With those made ready for next year I got the VFR into the shop before it snowed too…

  9. I am back on a VFR 31 Oct 2025 02:40 VIN tag doesn’t have any French. Here is the color code and something special. It has Throttlemeister bar ends but the throttle side uses a plastic extension that has collapsed under the end of the grip. If I remember…
