All 49- How High Have You Gone [image: View Post]MaxSwell, on 19 January 2012 - 11:36 PM, said: Just curious. Where did you find 200 mph gravity? Head first skydive?
- How High Have You Gone The fifth gen vfr I saw around 143 iirc. The sixth gen i've seen in the mid 130s at a couple of tracks. I don't know exactly as i usually am looking for my braking marks. Fastest i've seen was on a unnamed road in…
- Catastrophic Pilot Road 3 Failure 33lbs in the front isn't much higher then we run in DOT race tires. 29-31 depending. I had a Michelin Pilot Race do that to me at Jennings because of an increase in track temp and me not compensating with air pressure…

- Tally w/ Xact on october 16th? I want to say there is a track org or two that is also rumured to be following suit (at least in the "a" groups)
- Tally w/ Xact on october 16th? I have a Astars back/ chest protector you can try as well. I don't know about the jbox. There was "regular" power there back in march. $10. Any one staying at the track other then me AJ and I?

- Tally w/ Xact on october 16th? I'll be leaving atlanta around 7:30 Friday. Should be at the track around 9 (track time). Got a lot of crap to do between now and then. Should be a fast week!
- Tally w/ Xact on october 16th? Should we just get one of those "rv" spots and pitch my 10x20 and a couple of 10x10s on it. That is what we did last time and had 5 bikes with plenty of room to spare. I'm just curious to see if we have enough power…
- Tally w/ Xact on october 16th? Dale, GT is out due to some broken bones from a get off. I'll be riding "i". Gamecock and his brother i believe are going to be there as well. Should be there Friday night. I'll have my vfr and a friend with an R6.

- Bridgestone Bt-016 just to add fuel to the fire... Front BT016, maybe 2k miles Rear BT016, 2300ish. Many at T-mac know how bad the BTs looked after our saturday runs. And yes, i did wear out the front faster then the rear. Ended up…
- So where do we go from here? 3/20 EPIC Story evolving oh, liberty mutual. good to know they screw their own customers as well as the ones their "clients" hit. i had to deal with them with my vfr wreck in florida. Get receipts and DEMAND that they replace your bike. If they…
- Cam holder bolts breaking [image: View Post]rhubarb, on 10 March 2010 - 02:52 AM, said: Don't apply oil to the bolt and clean out the hole with contact cleaner. The same torque setting on a lubricated bolt results in more tension than dry…
- Possible Engine Damage Not to add to horror stories of jumped chains, but my vfr has a new cam chain, cct, and guides because of a failed CCT. Don't remember what else was replaced, but i do know that the labor was insane... have the dealer…
- Another Distracted Driver oohhh that is a load of SH!T about the gear and accessories. All of my gear was covered no questions asked by the insurance company when i had my t-bone accident. Call your insurance and get them to go after the other…
- How Good Are You? "Almost a month ago, my 02 VFR was shutting down while riding (suddenly and without any warnings). Couple of days later it was releasing a lot of smoke too, front cylinder was not running (spark plug was wet) and oil…
- Bad Voltage Regulator Or Bad Stator Yo, if you need help testing any of that stuff let me know. I'm over in canton and will be here all day tomorrow ripping apart a viffer for the 16k fun.
- Valve Clearance Engine Tuning [image: View Post]Pete McCrary, on Jun 5 2009, 11:30 PM, said: Over lap can be "adjusted" by indexing the cam shafts - in other words, you make the position of the cam sprocket on the camshaft adjustable. Adjustable…
- Going, Going..... Gone Sweet bike. Those F800 look like fun rides. As for the ADV guys throwing a party... I know nothing about a party at TWO every year... nothing at all. A couple of friends from Florida ride D/S and i've hung out at some…
- To Buy Back The Salvage Or Not? What is the frame like? If it is good, you could just rebuild it. And if you are handy, do it for cheap... I rebuilt my 98 for 1500 or so and upgraded parts in the process.
- Pirelli Diablo Supersport Street Tire Package Deal My store is down to 4 sets of 180/120. We have been told to order as many as we need. Also add in that many other items (helmets, gear, etc) is at least 10% off. I want to say helmets are at 20, shirts/etc are at around…
- Havin' A Bad Day...what Does It Mean When The Bike Shudders And There's A Crunching Noise Coming From Under The Bike? Tightwad, i'm wondering the same thing. I've also seen the nut come off the front sprocket before. AFTER BEING TORQUED. As strange as that may sound. It made some very interesting noises when that happened. Although if…
- Is This Tire Cupping Or Just Wear? Meh, i've seen more impressive form from vfr riders here. Not saying i'm there, just saying it isn't that impressive. Also not sure about your comment on Tight's front. Looks pretty wore except that last bit on the…
- The Inhumanity! Not sure the bump itself could take you down. It might be the fact you were exiting the turn and probably on the throttle. Combine that with a high lean angle and your chances of loosing traction increase. I have had a…
- The Inhumanity! Ouch SM. That turn and the other sharp one that goes from 2 to 1 lane going up just before the hiking station see a good bit of action with crashed bikes. Well most of the road does, but yea. Glad you are ok. I think i…
- Repair Or Replace Frame? I broke that tab on mine when i low sided off of ga 60. A good welder fixed me up for 20 bucks! Yes, just 20. He wasn't happy with his weld (the hole was a teeny bit larger). It held till i smacked into a car a couple…
- Front Wheel Removal You can do it with just taking off the one side. I just take the extra 2 minutes and pull off both sides.
- V-tec Valve Adjustment the warning sides depend on loose or tight. Loose: loud ticking noise. tight: no noise... start getting some power issues in there somewhere. ON interference motors (not to sure if the vfr is or not...assume yes), you…
- Tire Plugs i'm on number four. Nothing has let loose on me yet.
- Hope It's Not A Repost the battery is around 4 years old if it is original. I think TC may have it with that 12.1vdc is low. Probably could have it load tested and it would fail. If it does hold a charge, i'd take a look at charging…
- V-tec Valve Adjustment I haven't come across a v-tech that hasn't needed adjustment. Now the fifth gens are another story. Mileage Interval VFR800/A 600 Mile Service 1.1 4,000 Mile Service 0.4 8,000 Mile Service 2.7 12,000 Mile Service 1.6…
- Frame Sliders Anyone? [image: View Post]thedrunknmastr, on Feb 10 2009, 01:08 PM, said: So I take it there are no frame sliders that can installed without drilling the fairing (ugh). Where can you purchase Radar's and motovations? There are…
- Frame Sliders Anyone? Always, i would have loved to get them off the bike. But the insurance drug their feet in giving me a settlement, and in the while sent my bike off to auction. Before i had the chance to get anything off of it. Oh well,…
- Frame Sliders Anyone? i crash tested radars. they survived a very hard impact, then were finished off by another impact Basically survived the bike getting thrown down after hitting a car, then broke after another car hit my bike. I'd by…

- The High Mileage Thread... What Do You Have On Your Vfr? Well, unfortunately i'll never know how long my motor would have lasted. My 98 is RIP at 54,000. I would have had at least 70 on it by the end of this year. Of note, even though i did "recenter' my valves, not a single…
- Anyone Tried The Pirelli Diablo Rosso's I had them on my bike for the last 250 miles. While i didn't get to really get them tested, i did go thrash them a little. Turn in isn't as agressive as the power, but seemed a little faster then the M3. Front didn't…
- Sargent Seat Recovered Cost? They recovered my seat when i crashed my bike. The guy was cool and bumped me up to the front of the line since it was just a recover job. Costed me around 100 or so... i think it was less, i can't remember. Just call…
- My Electrical Gadget Addiction Tisk tisk, you have had that thing how long now? And you ONLY got 3300 miles on it. Dang, i have done that in the last Month! HAHAH, just giving you a hard time. Sounds like you really need to consult with tinyminds on…
- Are You A Part Hoarder Or A Scrapper? I counted at my parents house, since that is still my permanent addy... 1 vfr (mine), 1 ST1300 (dad's), 1 Suzuki 50cc 2-smoke (dad's first bike ever...70s?) project for when i get out of school, 1 Specialized Epic Disk…
- Diablo Review those of you slabbing it, jack up those pressures for those long interstate rides!!! Makes those tires not wear so bad!
- Pilot Powers/2ct's Recalled dang, there goes that new front... FYI i bought it before t-mac, so some of those tires have been out for a few weeks!
- New Yoshimura Vtec Exhaust! Looks like something unique. You know you might as well go ahead and find some 5th gen catless headers since you have it apart anyways. And no, im not getting rid of mine.
- Pirelli Diablo Strada Vs Michelin Pilot Road Man, I guess im the only one who had an ok experiance with roads. Granted the front and rear were BLUE when i got done with them.... :pissed:
- Metzler Z6 vs Michelin Pilot Road/Power?! I have p-roads on the front and rear. the Rear is at 7300ish miles now and is basically at the center wear bars. The front isnt far behind. I road with one of the "spirited" groups at the T-Mac meet (which is faster…
