  1. Honda's New ST - NT1100 24 Oct 2021 22:14 9 hours ago, ducnut Who let Karen into the house? Good grief! 🙄 ?
  2. Honda's New ST - NT1100 24 Oct 2021 22:11 8 hours ago, Kbear Not sure how many of you know who MOTOBOB is, but here's his take on the NT1100. Sounds like he's just expanding on what can be found in the stats on the bike. Has he ridden it?
  3. Honda's New ST - NT1100 23 Oct 2021 22:22 19 hours ago, Captain 80s So much this. No VTEC. Just a true gear driven cam liter 90 V4 with some bags. Plus all the the modern era gives us. But... I love my 98 ST1100 (NON ABS/DCBS/TCS) so much because it's just a…
  4. Honda's New ST - NT1100 23 Oct 2021 15:47 11 hours ago, vfrcapn https://www.cycleworld.com/story/motorcycle-reviews/ducati-multistrada-v4-pikes-peak-early-ride/ There you go. For the simple price of 2.75x VFRs... Don't think I'll ever own a Ducati. No interest…
  5. Honda's New ST - NT1100 23 Oct 2021 02:23 How about a 90 degree v4 no vtec sub 600lbs ? Hard bags and center stand standard? Sign me up Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  6. Chain loosening, slipping rear hub? 21 Oct 2021 13:57 34 minutes ago, Grum No, but what would be the benefit of that? The shoulder is at least the thread outer diameter. So the bolt cannot be tightened beyond its thread length, if the bolt shoulder hits the swingarm thread…
  7. Chain loosening, slipping rear hub? 21 Oct 2021 13:12 Did you measure the shoulder width vs thread width on the bolt? Honda parts fiche calls it a flange bolt 16x51. Sounds like a regular bolt
  8. Chain loosening, slipping rear hub? 21 Oct 2021 02:16 6th gen pinch bolt hole in swingarm is threaded completely through Paint marks on the adjuster and the swingarm to see if it's slipping, or the chain is about done dealin[image: 69872593a6edf386550180c98f4b3f9c.jpg]…
  9. multi-bike owners, any downsides to sharing a battery tender across bikes throughout the winter? 17 Nov 2020 23:25 Yep. Been sharing a battery tender for years now. No issues. Totally agree with taking them off the charger to self discharge. I usually plug mine in every 2 weeks or so in the non riding (snow) season. Got a fridge out…
  10. Motorcycle not accelerating properly in high RPMs. 6 Sep 2020 02:03 Only other thing I can think of is the return port being blocked. Fluid heats up and has no where to expand to, pushing on the slave piston causing your slippage. Hope you get it figured out Sent from my SM-N950U using…
  11. Motorcycle not accelerating properly in high RPMs. 6 Sep 2020 01:01 Did you rebuild the clutch slave and master cylinder when you replaced the parts? It looks like brake fluid may have been dripping down on the outside of the water pump housing.. Any seepage from the slave cylinder? And…

  13. Your first real road bike? 25 Aug 2020 22:45 1972 Honda CL350. "Borrowed" from a friend's fathers shed. Didn't run.. cleaned out the carbs and put in a battery. Kicked her over Forever and she ran! Learned to clutch and steer in a sheep pasture before taking her…
  14. Non-motorcycle options 24 Aug 2020 21:47 I had a 99 civic 5 speed. Hated that car. D16 sohc was a dog. [image: emoji1787.png] Wife's 97 Geo Prizm blew that Civic right out of the water. Even with the AC on Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  15. New member, thinking of a VFR 18 Aug 2020 00:42 Check the charging system. Known failure point up until the 8th gen. Lots of posts here about the stator and/or regulator failing from poor connections and grounds. Easy fix if you're good at electrical.. plenty of good…

  17. Non-motorcycle options 23 Jul 2020 12:56 "For me, riding *is* my therapy! I'd go nuts if I couldn't ride." Exactly [image: emoji106.png] But I think that nothing will really substitute for the exhilaration and freedom of being on two wheels. For me, if I…
  18. Non-motorcycle options 22 Jul 2020 13:58 My therapist would have me so medicated that I'd probably have to take public transportation lol [image: emoji1787.png] Slingshot looks kinda cool though Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  19. What other bikes do you own? 29 Jun 2020 19:32 revtmolo V4MB? -Blackened Yessir! I was just gonna say I'm pretty sure I've seen another yellow 6th gen somewhere [image: emoji848.png] [image: emoji16.png] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  20. What other bikes do you own? 29 Jun 2020 04:05 Thanks Philois1984. It's always something that needs attention with a 38 year old gen 1 that someone left for dead. Smitten with the Honda V4 Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

  27. A rolling piece of art 30 May 2020 13:40 You're not selling the VFR are you? [image: emoji26.png] The CB looks nice. And I bet maintenance is easier without the fairings and Vtec valve checks.. double radiators, wiring issues etc I don't see a centerstand.. so…
  28. More hot wires/connector 24 May 2020 17:04 Permanent fix of the 2 power leads to the ignition switch. Don't worry, it's shrinkwrapped, just not shown. I used a 12 awg splice, twisted the pair of 14s into one end, and doubled over the single 14 end into the…
  29. Rear brake dragging 21 May 2020 20:57 Another update to this thread.. I had her up on the centerstand today to lube the chain and gave the wheel a good spin. Got around 1.5 revolutions before it slowed and stopped. I believe there is no brake dragging and…
  30. More hot wires/connector 18 May 2020 23:16 I disconnected the battery before doing anything. I changed out the single wire for new wire and connected to the red wire on the other side of the block. Red wire is no longer burning! Now the red/black wire is though…
  31. More hot wires/connector 18 May 2020 21:14 So that's 2 wires from the key ignition going into one in the connector block?[image: 245273aa78991d80c7f610e06f792631.jpg] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

  33. More hot wires/connector 17 May 2020 02:58 The male terminal end didn't look bad. No discoloration. Having trouble getting the female connector out. Is there a tab under there to release it? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  34. More hot wires/connector 17 May 2020 02:50 This time the connector coming from the ignition switch into the harness is hot hot. I'm pretty sure I've isolated it to the red power wire that goes through the connector that is the culprit. It looks like this is the…
  35. VFR World 16 May 2020 00:09 Bent And, I for one, appreciate your efforts, HS. I know we all do. Totally! If I didn't have things to work on or chats to follow, I would go nuts! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  36. Rear brake dragging 6 May 2020 23:41 Got through the fluid change/bleed. Also cleaned up the rear caliper before install. I think the brakes feel much better than they did before [image: emoji106.png] Rear rotor still getting warm.. pistons are definitely…
  37. Rear brake dragging 5 May 2020 01:23 Well I'm sure I can look forward to at least a good bleed of the system. Got some reading up to do on that procedure.. I will probably lube the calipers while I'm there Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  38. Rear brake dragging 4 May 2020 22:19 I put the bike on the centerstand and clicked her into first gear. Let out the clutch then pulled it back in. The wheel kept spinning for maybe 10 revolutions then slowly came to a stop. I do not believe I have a…
  39. Rear brake dragging 4 May 2020 20:46 Front master There was fluid all the way up to the diaphragm. Probably ok but jeez there's a lot [image: 5a3dc9b49e58b4aa3dbaa57a09ff284d.jpg] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  40. Rear brake dragging 4 May 2020 03:00 Yeah I thought that was the rule. I took a few mls out of the rear master since it was full full. Looks like I will take some out of the front tomorrow also. [image: emoji106.png] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  41. Rear brake dragging 4 May 2020 02:56 I'll try the centerstand test tomorrow. Should I be concerned with the front master being overfilled? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  42. Rear brake dragging 4 May 2020 02:52 Left front brake seems to make more rub noise than the rest. And that's the one activated by the rear brake correct? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
  43. Rear brake dragging 4 May 2020 02:47 I thought I felt it dragging when I had the wheel off for tire change. But I've never had a SSSA before so I'm not sure what to expect as far as how many revolutions or how much freewheel there is to be expected. Also…
  44. Rear brake dragging 4 May 2020 02:24 I just noticed today after a good long ride that my rear brake may be dragging. The rotor was hot to the touch. Realizing that the VFR has linked brakes, I touched the left front rotor and it was warm. Right front rotor…
