  1. 2008 daily driver getting hard to start... sometimes 1 Aug 2025 01:20 Sad news. RIP Grum!
  2. New Member… 11 Jun 2025 13:31 Welcome from the Northeast. Nice rig!
  3. [Mitas SportForce+] Testride 6 May 2025 14:21 DrErgal, 5/5/2025 at 2:51 AM In few words you summarized these tires perfectly 👍 Much better than I did with my POEM 😅 I Just add one observation I forgot to mention. Unlike the Dunlop Sportsmart (in my mind, my…
  4. [Mitas SportForce+] Testride 4 May 2025 15:28 I may try the Mitas. Your description is similar to the Shinko 011 behavior. They are stiff, warm up fast and turn in quickly. Last up to 3000 miles on my 4th gen and my Hornet
  5. Howdy, howdy from Philadelphia, PA 5 Apr 2025 02:28 Welcome to the forum and good luck hunting for a nice vfr!

  7. Normal choke operation 24 Jul 2024 00:48 mikemo, 7/18/2024 at 6:25 PM Hello all. I had a question about my new (to me) 1995 VFR. On a cold start, 85F outside temperature, I pull the choke lever all the way back and hit the starter. The bike starts instantly…

  10. Got a RC24 again...... 27 Apr 2024 16:27 I think, this is maple syrup, not fork oil!
  11. Inflation just deflated me! 12 Apr 2024 13:21 I completely agree. Here, I pay $52 to mount and balance a $104 tire, it is a joke. The worst part is that I usually have to rebalance the tire myself after checking the balance on my stand. I think, next time, I will…

  15. Tire Set-Up 3 Jan 2024 12:51 Not to add to more complexity. did you check the head bearings? Many many moons ago, I had a 250 which Was lazy to turn in. The problem was a too tight head bearing.

  19. Should have known better..... And non VFR bike's updates 15 Jun 2023 14:14 Wow, that is a serious dog offense. I thought it was bad when my wife fell on her face (she had a black and blue face for 2 weeks) when her dog ran after another dog. I bet you are burning to ride the new bike! I wish…

  24. Kenda KM1 - $153 Tire Set 27 Apr 2023 13:20 Interesting choice! I only know Kenda as a bicycle tire manufacturer. Currently, I am running on Shinko Verge 011. Price was around $200 for the set. While the traction and tip in are good, I only get 3000 miles on…

  33. Lifting to centerstand 27 Jun 2022 02:34 As Bmart explained, you do not lift, you pull it back while holding the center stand with you foot to the ground. By the way Bmart, Cavemen were much stronger than we are, lol!
