- Yes I'm doing fork service myself. Yes I got stuck, help separating them? Bushes are easy enough to replace just don't knock the top ones down too far if using a seal driver, it can cause them to bind on the stanchion a bit.
- Yes I'm doing fork service myself. Yes I got stuck, help separating them? Did mine recently and with one fork had to put it back on the triple clamps and used the axle spindle with a 8lb hammer to get the bottom off. the top bush was stuck and the lower had slipped in with it binding it up,…
- What did you do to your VFR Today? Yep just wait new chain old sprocket, not a good combination
- 2007 front end vibration What if the fork slider bushes were bad, could that cause the fork seal problems as well? or some other internal fork component?
- 18/46 gearing, finally! I remember reading that the 6th gen had an increased swing arm length over the 5th gen, sure it was 5mm? Guess that's why it got 2 extra links!

- What did you do to your VFR Today? Fitted my new Powerbronze Carbon rear hugger, after rebuilding my forks- K-Tech springs 9.0N, fork seals, new bushes and 10w fork oil. Need to put some miles on the bike to check the set up, hoping the new rear Ohlins…
- It just needs a little love. Did mean to say also that the last owner must have hated that bike? its far too young to be a Rat bike. Like the naked look as well there was a blue one posted a week or two ago looked lovely.
- It just needs a little love. Hold up on the head gasket job my VFR Vtec starts with plumes of white smoke, settles down after 30 secs, could the oil colour be from sitting and condensation, are you definately not loosing coolant outside engine? Add…
- 2000 VFR800i throttle and idle nightmare yeah starter valve sync is on my list at moment, but doing a suspension sort out, New Ohlins rear shock is in and my F4i fork internals have arrived just waiting for the new 9.0N K Tech linear springs to show and do a…

- VFR1200 shock installation Yeah especially on a VFR. Will probably try my shock on sons first see if it improves it then if it hasn't look at 1200 shock. A 1200 Front looks interesting will keep tabs for your updates.
- VFR1200 shock installation Hi, This is interesting I was looking at the 1200 shock to replace my 6th gen 50k rear. But didnt find much info to help me decide so plumped for a new Ohlins STX which was going cheap at £300, just waiting for it to…
- WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ? Replaced the front cam tensioner and opened up the 0.5mm hole in the new gasket to 2.5mm hoping this keeps things quiet.

- 2007 CBR600RR CARTRIDGES INTO A 2005 6th Gen Hi, got a chance of a set of WP 9.0N fork cartridges from a 2007 CBR600RR. Anyone know if they will be a drop in for my stock forks? Joe
