  1. Lord it is hard to be humble 11 Nov 2010 19:42 The loading dock is closed after labor day. Unless they have changed this year. I'm up to ride, just have to get a free weekend.
  2. MTT turbine-powered street legal motorcycle 11 Nov 2010 18:58 That is the bike that they used in the movie Torque. It is pretty cool, but heavy, hot and long.
  3. 6th Gen Running Cold. Unknown Cause 1 Nov 2010 20:54 Could there be something wrong with the T-Stat housing not sealing proper to the the T-Stat allowing coolant to circulate through the rads unwantedly.
  4. Time To Rebuild The VF1000R...IT LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 31 Oct 2010 23:44 YES!!!! Sexy!
  5. My Suspension Makeover is Now Complete 29 Sep 2010 13:40 He said that Compression is in one leg, and Rebound is in the other leg. Seems to me that you would need a healthy fork brace to take some of the strain off the axle.
  6. Previous Owner said it wouldn't idle well.... 28 Sep 2010 21:22 Cover the intake inlets with screen, problem solved for future.

  11. Accessory Fuse Block - 5th Gen. 6 Aug 2010 17:50 What's the story with the garage door opener? [image: Posted Image] Garage Door Opener Steering Stem Button I put the button in the stem cover, then soldered on leads to the door opener to attach to the bike. I ran one…

  13. VFR1200 engine in 4th Gen 30 Jul 2010 13:34 You would have to overcome the shaft drive with the 4th gen frame and swingarm in the way.
  14. Hossackviffer Mkii 8 Jul 2010 17:56 SEXY!
  15. 5th gen top mount with corbin side bags? 25 Jun 2010 20:52 I think Ken was making a bracket for the fifth gens as well at one point. Here's a link, talk to him. Ken Solo Rack Topbox
  16. VFRD Thank You So Much 24 Jun 2010 15:53 As stated above, it makes me happy to know that I was a part of something that is as cool as this. HS you absolutely deserve this, hopefully we just bought a few more years of you running a shape ship. Thanks.
  17. new member here with an '85 vf500f to ressurect 11 Jun 2010 15:31 Love it, you get :fing02: :fing02: !
  18. Replacement head light bulbs 3 Jun 2010 16:27 A standard h4 bulb will work, but you have to cut one of the 3 alignment tabs off to make it fit into the socket. It is a piece of cake to make the H4 work, I have used silverstars for a bit and am quite happy with…
  19. Single front brakes conversion on 4th gen 1 Jun 2010 20:29 [image: View Post]roman, on 01 June 2010 - 10:37 AM, said: The problem is that each front discs are held in with 6 bolts near the hub of the rim.. So for the same stopping power as 2 discs, the torque load can be twice…
  20. Need Info On Hrc Kits 28 May 2010 14:12 His stuff isn't for sale, those are the pieces that he has managed to fit to his super light 3rd gen.
  21. Local Hillbilly Ran Me OFF THE ROAD! 20 May 2010 14:54 AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! That sucks. Glad your ok HS.
  22. Another Exhaust Option 11 May 2010 15:47 Is the low and highish version the same pipe just rotated? If so it would be fairly easy to rotate pipe up for no bags, then back down when you put bags on. However I agree for a bike with factory bags, underseat or…
  23. 8 Spoke/price 11 May 2010 15:42 Within the last few months, I've seen them go as low as $150 and as high as $550 depending on condition. A fair average would be the $250-$300 range in my opinion.
  24. What;s an RC30 worth? 4 May 2010 18:15 Somewhere between $5k and $50k depending on condition and parts. Get in touch with BLS (BusyLittleShop) or Tharkun as they are the resident RC30/45 experts.
  25. Modifying Centerstand and/or sidestand 29 Apr 2010 17:32 A "tap" is a tool that cuts internal threads. To "tap" you will need to buy a tap set then use the tap of the appropriate thread size that you are wanting to use. Step one, drill hole of appropriate size for the tap to…
  26. Free 3rd Gen Parts 29 Apr 2010 15:11 Have any Have All, you pay shipping. The Right bar is bent. The Rad is bent, fan is in good shape. The kickstand is in good shape, just needs some paint. T-stat housing is in good shape, assume the t-stat itself is bad.…
  27. The Pine Sol degreaser thread 28 Apr 2010 13:15 I'm in the process of restoring a 1971 Kawasaki F7 enduro that hasn't been ridden for approx 10 years and the time that it was ridden (9k miles) was 95% off road. Therefore there is a lot of old baked on grease, dirt…
  28. Exhaust Ideas 2 Apr 2010 14:31 Search underseat exhaust. Veefer800canuk, ratfink, magellen have done it to name a few. Wolf actually sold a "bolt on" kit for underseat.
  29. Unicam = Nothin Is New 19 Mar 2010 16:12 They should have used synthetic in that motor, as it is filthy.
  30. Geelong carboncraft tank protector 17 Mar 2010 18:13 I remember someone on here having one and liking it, but geese $$$$$. Their hugger is $450.
  31. VFR clutch cover question(all gens) - how to add a window 1 Mar 2010 18:56 [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on 01 March 2010 - 01:36 PM, said: I am pretty sure the stator winding bolts into the stator cover, so I would consider doing both side covers a no-go. This is true. All you would see from…
  32. now the bike won't turn over 20 Feb 2010 16:47 Failed to read that you have an 04, silly monitor wires.
  33. now the bike won't turn over 20 Feb 2010 03:58 You have a bad RR, and that was likely the cause for the blown fuse.
  34. No head light or running lights 19 Feb 2010 20:44 Make sure that the starter switch is fully disengaging.
  35. Great suspension setup how-to link 16 Feb 2010 16:32 [image: View Post]Pete McCrary, on 15 February 2010 - 03:02 PM, said: BTW, does anyone know how he is doing? I know he had a bad, bad wreck a year or so ago testing a bike for either Sport Rider or Motorcyclist. There…
  36. Something there for everybody 30 Jan 2010 01:20 I love this bike. And next to a person, it does look quite small.
  37. Titanium Connecting Rods, Oh My! (update 12/01/12) 12 Sep 2009 03:12 Get well soon. And very clever mister.
  38. Stator Problems 9 Jul 2009 19:13 Here is who you want to deal with in the future. http://www.ricksmoto...telectrics.com/
  39. Stator Problems 9 Jul 2009 17:46 Electrosport has a rep for poor quality. However with that being said, is it possiable that something came unplugged. Once you get the bike home take all the measurements at the battery and check the ac voltage coming…
  40. Electrical Issues 19 Jun 2009 00:54 +1 to above, and post up some battery voltage numbers static, at idle and 5krpm.
  41. Stator Tests 15 Jun 2009 01:58 Post the charging system results from the chart on the first post of this thread. That will allow for a proper diagnosis. However I'd say that your RR is smoked. Look for the R1 RR thread how to.
  42. Polly Heaters 11 Nov 2007 14:20 They won't work on the VFR for two reasons. -There is no where to bring the wires out, you would have to drill a hole in the end of the clip on. -you would have to remove the bar end weights and the vibration damper…
  43. Regulator Rectifier 21 Oct 2007 14:46 [image: View Post]PorscheBob, on Oct 21 2007, 07:45 AM, said: Also, the stock wire harness has inferior connectors and the wires are too small. This is the shameful negative of an otherwise very sweet machine. IMHO.…
  44. Regulator Rectifier 20 Oct 2007 23:02 Did he make an new RR, or just the "vfrness" upgraded wiring harness? If he made a complete new RR, I'd love to see the details.
  45. Regulator Rectifier 20 Oct 2007 22:54 04-06 R1 RR's are a good replacement. Minimal re-wiring and they are much more robust than the VFR unit. See Here Link to R1 RR thread
  46. Mod: Garage Door Opener Anyone? 27 Jul 2007 13:03 [image: Posted Image] Garage Door Opener Steering Stem Button :thumbsup:
  47. Convertibars On Your Bike? 5 Jun 2007 19:46 Only other option that I know of would be Heli bars, not adjustable, but they are cheeper and still raise the bars up.
  48. Stator Tests 25 May 2007 12:13 superfuzz Ok, stupid question time....how do I check the "AC voltage from stator. With a warm motor at 4000 rpm, I checked the stator side of the plug with the three yellow wires. Each one measured about 6V. There are 3…

  50. Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System 17 May 2007 12:43 snowparang b. Assuming it's my stator that's roasted, how do I confirm that? I've done the continuity checks and earth leakage checks as suggested by the manual and all turn out pretty fine. With the bike running, the…
