  1. Lost the Love 8 Oct 2018 05:17 Until a month ago, I hadn't ridden since, I think, TMAC 2012. Moved to Colorado in 2012, had problems getting the bike plated, put it on the back burner, got into other hobbies. A couple months ago, my co-workers egged…
  2. Q2 vs PP/PR2 Combo 26 May 2012 02:36 kebrider Here are the Q2's after 1730 miles (rear) and 2670 miles (front) and one day at TMAC: The front actually had some life left at the edge and the middle but the sides are treadless. The rear looks like it has…

  9. hellllllllp disaster has struck!exhaust stud snapped 4 Jun 2011 01:05 PB Blaster is a spray penetrating oil, kinda like WD40, but a lot better. Whenever working on exhaust, or any other corroded parts, a few doses of PB blaster, a torch, and an impact wrench make the job much easier.

  15. R&G Frame Sliders - Installation Guide 24 May 2011 03:01 Metallican525 My real question with these has allways been how much force can they take before punching a hole in that nice purdy spensive radiator they're in rather close proximity to........... I would think, not…
  16. 2002 VFR Major Stalling Problems 23 May 2011 02:47 Let me get this straight. You had the head gaskets changed: why? The bike NOW stalls, AFTER the head gaskets change, but it didn't stall before this. Right? Are there any FI error codes? Basically +1 to this. I would…

  23. Veefalo Mods 13 Jul 2010 15:15 Nice work. Did you use the inside the bar heating elements that come with that kit, or the regular ones that mount on the outside of the bar, under the grip? I think I can see the wire on the outside, and don't think…

  25. VFR 1200 vs Multistrada S 3 Jul 2010 04:04 1200cc, most competent street bike.
  26. VFR 1200 vs Multistrada S 2 Jul 2010 18:00 What do you expect from a subjective review? I can easily see the Ducati feeling like it handles better; the S model will have Ohlins suspension, probably >100 pounds lighter, shorter wheelbase, probably more aggressive…

  29. Cooking with Hydrogen. 12 May 2010 19:04 JES_VFR As some more features get worked out and added I'll get much closer to unity (that is when power in - power out. Then maybe I may be able to convert the VFR to run on hydroxy gas as the primary fuel So you are…
  30. Cooking with Hydrogen. 12 May 2010 18:27 Lee 2002 JES_VFR Its a perfect stoichiometric blend of H2 and O2. If ignited it will rapidly burn and produce WATER!!!!. ...... and less unburned hydrocarbon fuel going out the exhaust port. What are you trying to…

  35. Catastrophic Engine Failure 16 Nov 2009 20:58 Get a copy of the contract for the extended warranty, look it over, and have a lawyer look it over. I don't know about aftermarket warranties, but that shit would never fly for a manufacturer's warranty. If you are on…

  38. Did Oring Verses Regina Oring 29 Oct 2009 01:57 The grease inside the O rings is white. Red dust is a sure indicator of the chain being on its way out. Once the O rings stop sealing, water gets in and washes out the grease, and starts to rust. The red dust is rust…
  39. Troubleshooting Cooling System 28 Oct 2009 13:35 Correct, and a very common issue. The temp sensor for the fan is in the very top of the left rad. The temperature that you see on the LCD is coming from the ECT sensor at the engine block.
  40. Troubleshooting Cooling System 28 Oct 2009 12:36 Fill it slowly on the side stand. When the radiator cap is off, nothing will happen with the reserve bottle. When you start the bike, the right radiator should get hot quickly, the left radiator should stay cold until…
  41. Did Oring Verses Regina Oring 26 Oct 2009 03:45 Sounds like you got a bad chain. I have run mostly DID, and they don't need adjustment until around 10-12K miles, about the time they are worn out.

  45. Breaking The Chain..... 25 Oct 2009 22:33 You can do a chain in one piece on the 5th gen, but not on the 6th gen without removing the swingarm. Its a lot easier to buy or borrow a chain breaker instead.
  46. Breaking The Chain..... 25 Oct 2009 21:23 Yes, you must. The chain cannot be removed complete.
  47. 6th G Vs Ducati Mts? 25 Oct 2009 03:00 I just did a demo ride on a Multi 1100S today, with Ohlins R&T forks, Ohlins shock, and other goodies. I certainly wouldn't trade my VFR for it. It has a very comfortable upright riding position, but I was very…
