  1. Vfr 750 - 92 12 Jun 2017 07:29 In the making of a rear hub axle ☺️28,50mm 👍 [image: DSC_0330.JPG]
  2. Vfr 750 - 92 5 Jun 2017 14:01 9 minutes ago, slovcan Yes, I found a few obvious things on mine that were "missed" during the dealer servicing the previous owner had done, too. What did you find? 😧
  3. Vfr 750 - 92 5 Jun 2017 09:11 11 hours ago, slovcan Every new tire should automatically get a new valve unless the existing valve is a good metal one. Then it should get a new core. Why dealers and service guys who mount the tires won't just spend…
  4. Vfr 750 - 92 5 Jun 2017 09:10 10 hours ago, VFR4Lee The new vintage air is usually best. :beer: Haha usually I use premium winter air. Filtered through old socks. What a difference 😉😆
  5. Vfr 750 - 92 4 Jun 2017 19:07 Cause of pressure loss in the tire : broken air nozzle. 👍
  6. 97 Vfr 750 To "vfcbr" Conversion (929Rr Forks / 600Rr Body) 31 May 2017 18:34 Beautifully done! #popcorn
  7. Vfr 750 - 92 30 May 2017 18:46 So, after some evaluation of the tire, I found out that it was 0.7bar under inflated (😱😱😱) and I hope it is due because of a faulty nozzle and not because of anything else. Filled it up with some 2017 air from the…
  8. Vfr 750 - 92 30 May 2017 15:47 5 hours ago, Dutchy I did consider buying a 748 as replacement for redslut; but the VTR1000R-SP2 won.... That is a very good decision 😊👍
  9. Vfr 750 - 92 30 May 2017 07:31 5 hours ago, The Phantom CBR900RR up to 1996 or so fit, as do 2007-2008 Yamaha R1. Nice bike, enjoy! Thanks alot!!
  10. Vfr 750 - 92 30 May 2017 07:30 13 hours ago, auggius Did you like the Ducati 748? I'd have kept that and the VFR in the garage. That would be the perfect 1-2 combo. BTW good read, keep the stories coming. The 748 was beautiful! Loved the handling and…
  11. Vfr 750 - 92 29 May 2017 13:14 3 hours ago, SweViffer Hej Jock! I use the same Michelin PR4 as you on my 6th gen Hi! This Knix was on Gröndal, you might be familiar with it? I looked on the treads for the rear tire and it looks like, if I interpret…
  12. Vfr 750 - 92 29 May 2017 03:16 So. The first track day went beyond good. I rode with some more inexperienced riders, but with everything from bmw s1000rr and aprilia touno apc to triumph Tiger 800. The bike did great! But, I felt like my tires was…
  13. Vfr 750 - 92 4 May 2017 03:03 So far, 800km done
  14. Black widow full exhaust 8 Apr 2017 17:43 Haha 😁 I reason as you do, ain't paying for poor dynamics and bad welding. But I am still curious about changing the stock collector box to a more efficient exhaust. Any other ideas in case these turn out to be totally…
  15. Black widow full exhaust 8 Apr 2017 07:08 Looking at buying a full exhaust system for the vfr but I have some questions for perhaps you guys who have bought this from Black Widow. *Does it go up in internal diameter compared to stock? *was it welded good, I…
  16. Just picked up a 93 vfr750f 3 Apr 2017 17:37 Good work so far and it'll be interesting to follow your updates 👍
  17. Vfr 750 - 92 2 Apr 2017 07:05 10 hours ago, slovcan 5mm is not much difference, really, unless you're working things out and training on a race track. Most riders in drive-on-the-right countries may be predisposed to lean more and more naturally to…
  18. Vfr 750 - 92 1 Apr 2017 18:00 Today I drove 30km of total 100km on a vfr. It's been 6 years since I rode a sportbike. My striping on the rear tire to analyse my lean angle shows so far 5mm more leaning towards the left than my right. It'll be…
  19. Vfr 750 - 92 1 Apr 2017 05:36 Whent through some old photos (in case of rain and snow outside, always reminisce to the days one could ride) in the cell phone and found these. [image: 10400544_19579611942_3263_n.jpg] [image:…
  20. Vfr 750 - 92 1 Apr 2017 05:19 7 hours ago, slovcan I hope that is the "before riding" picture! :beer: Haha well yes of course!! 😄
  21. Vfr 750 - 92 31 Mar 2017 19:00 Marked chicken stripe on the tire to measure lean angle after driving 👍
  22. Vfr 750 - 92 30 Mar 2017 17:39 Oh, I didn't remove the snorkel, just the plastics between the radiator and the inlet. No driving today... It's snowing again 🙁
  23. Vfr 750 - 92 30 Mar 2017 17:28 So, after a good long day at work, I got home...and did more work. Removed the plastic guard in front of the snorkel. Happy days. And mounted a bmc sport filter as well 👍
  24. Vfr 750 - 92 28 Mar 2017 14:42 My wife bought me new gear 😄had to be tested 👍

  28. 93 Forks Conversion to RC51 - anyone done it?? 24 Mar 2017 03:59 Hi! New to he forum and loving it so far. Been following this thread and this might a stupid question, but cant you just use the old triple clambs/ yokes from the Vfr and mill the holes bigger to make a bigger shock…
  29. Vfr 750 - 92 23 Mar 2017 15:25 Aha! Never seen that before. #removedweight 🙃
  30. Vfr 750 - 92 23 Mar 2017 09:02 Okey, removed left foot peg and on the back side of it, there was a weight. Whatta!? Why?
  31. Vfr 750 - 92 22 Mar 2017 15:45 Next up was to repack the silencer, previous owner had everything removed from it, and I shortened it with 15cm as I had it loose. Got rid of the center stand and took all of the rust of from the bottom fairings.
  32. Vfr 750 - 92 22 Mar 2017 15:32 Thanks a lot for the welcome! I firstly went over with a 320 grain, next was with 600 something, 1200 and finally a 3200 grain. Everything always with water and lubricant. But I found out that to get rid of the small…
  33. Vfr 750 - 92 22 Mar 2017 04:21 First started of trying to clean up the windscreen. Read about using toothpaste, headlight cleaning appliances and nothing helped. It even got a little bit worse or nothing happened. So I tried something I've been doing…
  34. Vfr 750 - 92 22 Mar 2017 04:16 So after sneaking around for some days, I finally registered. Short presentation: from Sweden, been riding for 10 years, first bike was a Ducati 748 Sp troy bayliss replica, followed by 929 fireblade, husky 410, yamma…
