All 23- Shout out to all the motorcycle photographers out there. Tell your buddy to learn to pan his camera with the moving object. Takes practice, but gives superior results.
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Been there, done that between Brooklyn, NY Queens NY, and Newark NJ I had to replace 3 ignition locks to the infamous dent puller. It seems at least Honda's design lets you slip a screwdriver into the hole that's left,…
- Hesitation/Stumble between 3-4K - Delkevic Exhaust with dB Killer.... No problem with mid length Delkevic here either. No difference in running from stock.
- 8 th Generation tail tidy Somebody here was making 3D printed ones too, can't remember who but it wasn't that long ago.
- Front wheel install axle flush on left forkleg V4 Rosso, 1/11/2021 at 6:32 PM Ah, but like videoguy said: "The bumping of the forks is to align the tubes at the bottom of the fork to help eliminate some stiction. " and you won't be able to do that with the bike held…
- Front wheel install axle flush on left forkleg V4 Rosso, 1/4/2021 at 11:51 AM With the bike on the centerstand I put something in front of the front wheel so it can't move forward. When you stand in front of the bike it can be your foot. Grab the clipons and pull…
- Front wheel install axle flush on left forkleg V4 Rosso, 1/2/2021 at 7:48 PM Assuming the brake calipers are in perfect working condition and not have any sticking caliper pistons or slide pins. I prefer to put a wedge in front of the wheel. How does that work?
- Front wheel install axle flush on left forkleg DannoXYZ, 12/31/2020 at 4:23 PM Thanks for clarifications. Now, after bumping forks, one should NOT waggle left fork-end right? Otherwise it'll disturb centering of fork-slider and cause extra stiction. What I want to…
- Front wheel install axle flush on left forkleg I'm the person that started the thread on the other forum. I had some concerns after having a shop mount new tires for me, and after looking at what's going on down there you can see the axle has a chamfered edge on the…
- Front wheel spacers Orientation doesn't matter on 8th gen, but does on 6th, so be careful.
- Front wheel spacers Grum is right again. Checked parts fiches, the 8th gen uses identical spacers left and right, got confused by 6th gen. Checked direction of wheel and tire, both are correct. Re-did everything, axle, torquing, bouncing…
- Front wheel spacers Just had tires changed by a local shop on my 8th gen. Noticed the left side spacer on the front has a small gap between it and the fork leg while the right side doesn't. Is this normal and acceptable? Did the…
- Dodging exploding tractor trailer tires Had almost same thing as previous poster, except I got a warning in the form of little chunks of rubber hitting my faceshield. After a couple of seconds I realized that wasn't gravel, saw the smoke start from the…
- if you went from a owning a 6th Gen to an 8th gen which do you prefer? How are you changing the front on a standard 8th gen? New springs and gold valves?
- Handlebar Risers Yep, Motopumps has 3 heights. Lowest is same as Honda OEM, then tallest is 1.25 inches, which is what I did. Way more comfortable than stock with no handling penalty, at least on the street.
- Handlebar Risers Problem with lowering your seat is it makes your knees bend more than they do already. Unfortunately after knee replacement and back surgery, keeping the seat high and going with the tallest Motopumps was the best…
- Handlebar Risers Added the tall Motopumps risers to my '15 with no handling penalty at all, and a big comfort boost. Don't even need to change cables or hoses.
- New Battery? Just wondering.... if the Lithium batteries require different chargers, how is it ok to use them in a bike with a "standard" charging system? Both are basically applying the same kind of charge, if you use a battery…
- Exhaust Wasn't trying to be harsh, just a correction. I find a shop rag sprayed with WD-40 works great on the wheels for removing most road and chain splatter. Also seems to leave an invisible film that makes it easier to get…
- Exhaust 11 hours ago, Auspanglish Don't know for sure about the UK I'm afraid. It's a reasonable assumption. What I do know is that kerosene won't harm the o-rings in chains, while WD40 will. False!…
- 2014 - 2015 8gen Service Manual - missing! Just looked in entire downloads section, nowhere to be found. Where else would it be?
- Getting back in the saddle. So I've had a number of bikes with and without ABS over the last few years, and bikes with Factory adjustable suspension. The ABS question is whether you feel the perceived value of it outweighs the added weight and…
- Getting back in the saddle. GatorGreg, 6/5/2017 at 11:03 PM Get the VIN and see if a Honda dealer's service department can give you any info. I bought a used Ninja 300 a few years ago and the service d The base model's front suspension is not…
