Last 50 of 72- Honda's New ST - NT1100 9 hours ago, ducnut Who let Karen into the house? Good grief! 🙄 ?
- Honda's New ST - NT1100 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?
- Honda's New ST - NT1100 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…
- Honda's New ST - NT1100 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…
- Honda's New ST - NT1100 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
- Chain loosening, slipping rear hub? 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…
- Chain loosening, slipping rear hub? 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
- Chain loosening, slipping rear hub? 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]…
- multi-bike owners, any downsides to sharing a battery tender across bikes throughout the winter? 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…
- Motorcycle not accelerating properly in high RPMs. 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…
- Motorcycle not accelerating properly in high RPMs. 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…

- Your first real road bike? 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…
- Non-motorcycle options 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
- New member, thinking of a VFR 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…

- Non-motorcycle options "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…

- What other bikes do you own? 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

- A rolling piece of art 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…
- More hot wires/connector 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…
- Rear brake dragging 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…
- More hot wires/connector 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…
- More hot wires/connector 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

- More hot wires/connector 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
- More hot wires/connector 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…
- VFR World 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
- Rear brake dragging 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…
- Rear brake dragging 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
- Rear brake dragging 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…
- Rear brake dragging 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
- Rear brake dragging 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
- Rear brake dragging I'll try the centerstand test tomorrow. Should I be concerned with the front master being overfilled? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
- Rear brake dragging 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
- Rear brake dragging 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…
- Rear brake dragging 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…
