  1. Telemetry data 5 Feb 2022 17:33 Oh man.... Bingo. Lean Angle, Speed Gas and brake, lap times, and even a track map. THIS is what I want to get together. it's $99. Now the bigger question... Can the VFR deliver this to the unit? the Go Pro itself…
  2. Telemetry data 5 Feb 2022 17:27 I found this as well. I just don't know what I would need to make it work (Other than a GoPro) and I'm still trying to figure out if it will give me what I am looking for (Lean angle, etc..)…
  3. Telemetry data 5 Feb 2022 16:51 Hey guys, Last year I did my first track day and totally fell in love with it. I've seen videos where guys have all of their telemetry data but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how they are doing it. I have…
  4. Seat options? 29 Oct 2021 19:31 Yeah, I'm a bit cheap too. At least when it comes to spending $400-$600 on a seat. That just seems ludicrous to me. I'm sure it makes sense to someone... Probably the guy making the seats.
  5. Seat options? 28 Oct 2021 16:22 Thanks for all of the replies guys. Very helpful! I think I'm going to see if I can find someone that does custom work. I do mostly solo riding and really like having the cowl on there. plus for the money we're talking…
  6. Seat options? 27 Oct 2021 14:25 I did some poking around and was surprised I didn't see more on this... My brother-in-law asked me to come check out a bike for him. It was a Triumph Sprint 1050. The first thing I noticed when I got on was upgraded…
  7. Fork lengths uneven? 9 Apr 2021 17:38 I don't disagree with you on Honda, Cap. They are pretty precise with what they do. I bought this bike used and I have NO idea what could have happened to it with the Previous owner. For all I know he had to replace a…
  8. Fork lengths uneven? 9 Apr 2021 13:02 23 hours ago, Terry 11 is the bushing and usually slips in without a fight, followed by 10 which is the washer then 21 is the seal which does need to be driven home until you can fit the circlip 17 into its groove.…
  9. Fork lengths uneven? 7 Apr 2021 23:57 Guys, I'm so sorry for the slow response. I had to go get my Covid 19 Vaccine this afternoon and got hung up. Regarding the oil lock piece I never took it off to do the bushes and seals. Just to make sure I'm following…
  10. New donation from Blackened 7 Apr 2021 16:29 Hi Blackened, Thank you for your donation of 25.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
  11. Fork lengths uneven? 7 Apr 2021 16:24 10 minutes ago, Mohawk Are you saying one stanchion is 10mm longer than the other or that the assembled fork when set to the same position in the yokes is ? If the latter then its likely the forks have been assembled…
  12. Fork lengths uneven? 7 Apr 2021 15:59 Hey guys, last season I discovered I had a fork seal leaking. I got the All Balls kit to do the bushings and the seals and finally with the weather warming up these last few weeks I managed to get the forks rebuilt…
  13. Need more Brake adjustment... 3 Dec 2020 02:15 Yeah, I crushed up a pencil lead into dust and rubbed it over the lever. That should have highlighted any cracks in it if there were any.
  14. Need more Brake adjustment... 3 Dec 2020 00:25 Well apparently I just wasn't hitting it hard enough! Hitting harder for the win! It's (almost) perfectly straight now - Lo and behold, I do not need more adjustment. Can't believe I never thought to check that! 😄 I…
  15. Need more Brake adjustment... 2 Dec 2020 20:25 2 minutes ago, Grum Its bent alright. Have a go at straightening it, or just replace it with a newy. I'm debating putting it in a vice to see what that does.... It's not an awful bend, but it is enough to be annoying.…
  16. Need more Brake adjustment... 2 Dec 2020 20:23 Well it looks like I have my answer. After comparing against several photos I can see my foot lever is bent. I pulled it off and took a few whacks at it with a hand sledge (If is breaks it breaks, it's going to get…
  17. Need more Brake adjustment... 2 Dec 2020 17:57 And one other thing I just noticed when I compared my photo to another VFR photo... Does that pedal look bent? [image: image.png.2cdbcef0a90a28719a9277062b1b2732.png][image:…
  18. Need more Brake adjustment... 2 Dec 2020 17:45 My brake pedal needs to be adjusted down more. I know how to adjust it (and yes I have!) but the problem I am running into is that I can't get it adjusted down any more than it already is. A few pics: Where it currently…
  19. Brake replacements 6 Sep 2020 02:36 TimC, 9/4/2020 at 3:15 PM Making things more complicated than they need to be is the Honda motorcycle way. 😕 Also, just in case you've not changed motorcycle brake pads before (sorry, not making any assumptions either…
  20. Brake replacements 4 Sep 2020 19:04 2 hours ago, TimC I've always used the EBC HH sintered pads. They fit perfectly, stop the bike very well, wear pretty long, and they're affordable. And if memory serves, 6th gens take the same pads on all three…
  21. Brake replacements 4 Sep 2020 14:36 I've been doing some general maintenance and minor electrical work (Adding a secondary gauge bracket) on my VFR for the last few days. While I was working on it I noticed the fork seals were showing some signs of…
