  1. Rider Down in Washington 12 Jul 2010 16:34 Just learned he was wearing full gear. Shift brand pants and jacket and he has no abrasions what so ever.
  2. Rider Down in Washington 12 Jul 2010 16:25 Just a quick post about a 2003 VFR rider from my area who is not a member on here. This past week he took off on a ride up Hwy. 101 into Oregon and Washington with a friend of mine who rides a Yamaha of all things. A…
  3. Michelin Pilot Power Wear 12 May 2009 15:54 Forget the Z6's....period. I have run PP for ever and love them but for your level and type of riding the PR2 would be an excellent choice. I switched to a set of them on my new concours1400 and the handling is superb.…
  4. Tire Mileage (3100 ?!) 6 May 2009 22:10 We put a set of Corsa 2's I believe they are on our 5th gen and this past weekend got them down to cord with just 1300 miles on them and thats riding twisty roads vs. slab. Will not use them again. I will either go back…
  5. What Bike Covers Do You Use 22 Jul 2008 20:47 I have a soft fabric type cover that is grey that wish I knew the name of as I want another one for my new Concours 14. Does anyone know what type I am talking about? I have seen car covers made out of the material but…
  6. I Have Full Motad Exhaust On It's Way! 22 Dec 2006 15:27 [image: View Post]Red98V4, on Dec 18 2006, 03:28 PM, said: Also, aren't you going to need a custom map to get the full potential out of it? I put a 98 exhaust on my 2000 which of course is catless and larger diameter…
  7. Diablo Corsa Lll 24 Aug 2006 22:10 BR- I agree with you on everything. I am eager to try the Corsa tire. I do hold back in situations, such as group riding like the PNW meet as too many variables can and do come into play that are safety issues. But…
  8. Diablo Corsa Lll 24 Aug 2006 14:44 baileyrock They are most likey better than PP, the Diablo was was favorite tire until the PP came out and I would still be on the Diablo's if they lasted as long as the PP's. I've never been on a better wet tire than…
  9. Diablo Corsa Lll 23 Aug 2006 23:13 Per an email from Pirelli it goes like this: Every claim is given a tire. If you have a claim number, you have a tire. This is the purpose of the counter. I suggest to purchase the tire at your dealer, fill out the form…
  10. Diablo Corsa Lll 23 Aug 2006 21:35 website shows only 228 free tires left. By the time someone on the west coast buys one, completes and mails the paperwork back east there are not going to be any left and we are left holding the bag needing to buy a…
  11. Diablo Corsa Lll 23 Aug 2006 21:19 from sport rider magazine: The new Diablo Corsa III - Three-Zone Compound - is not a tire solely for elite racers. Pirelli developed it to allow owners of modern supersport machines to draw full advantage from the…

  15. My New Adjustable Pegs ! 9 Jul 2006 14:56 Joe, I think you are right. the actual peg on the Thurns is the Master Grip. Damn..she loves it when I say that !!!
  16. My New Adjustable Pegs ! 8 Jul 2006 22:30 I can only comment on Buell vs. these as I never rode with stock pegs much as they were too cramped for me. As with any all metal peg there is some vibration but its not bad until you're tached way out. I can only…
  17. My New Adjustable Pegs ! 8 Jul 2006 15:38 [image: View Post]Florida, on Jul 8 2006, 05:27 AM, said: So how do they compare to the Buell pegs? Which is lower? I'm looking for a little more leg room. The adjustable feature is a plus, but mostly I'm after more…

  19. My New Adjustable Pegs ! 7 Jul 2006 15:51 [image: View Post]jstanwood, on Jul 7 2006, 07:33 AM, said: Great find! I didn't see them on their site. (I wonder if they'll work on a 4th gen) RC46 (5th gen) "footrests" page: http://www.thurn-mot...erk-rc46_1.html…
  20. My New Adjustable Pegs ! 7 Jul 2006 11:45 I found them on ebay but they are on his website also which I don't have the URL for any longer. With shipping (Airmail, 3 days) was $150. Yes they are just like a poormans rearset.
  21. My New Adjustable Pegs ! 7 Jul 2006 05:17 yeah I was just playing with the CF. I don't like it either but I have been too lazy to take it off. Maybe this weekend.
  22. My New Adjustable Pegs ! 7 Jul 2006 04:53 Since its taking so long for the BLS version of pegs I thought I would give these a try since they are also adjustable in a multitude of positons from up, down, forward, rear and in between. They are from Thurn in…
  23. Help me find a quiet helmet 20 Jun 2006 18:36 I just got an Arai Profile and its pretty darn quiet compared to most I have worn.
  24. New Arai Quantum 2 Helmet 4 May 2006 15:16 I currently use a HJC AC11 for my long head. If any of you know helmet fitment can you recommend an Arai modle to fit my head like the AC11 shape? I don't like HJC that much, way too noisy.
  25. voltmeter readings 5th gen 14 Apr 2006 03:31 email from C-Volt says unit only draws .15mAH
  26. voltmeter readings 5th gen 13 Apr 2006 18:53 are you sure on the mA draw? their LED unit says it draws 13mA. I dont see any specs for their other units.
  27. voltmeter readings 5th gen 11 Apr 2006 03:56 GOLDVFR, As far as i can tell I did what you are saying. To measure mA I had it hooked in series. My voltage reading for the battery was done terminal to terminal in parallel. Correct? By the way, I just took off that…
  28. voltmeter readings 5th gen 10 Apr 2006 22:17 not sure what all that means in relation to my readings with and without the volt meter hooked up. Does that mean I may have a bad connection in the voltmeter wiring? Is the .98mA draw without it connected ok?
  29. voltmeter readings 5th gen 10 Apr 2006 21:45 ok. bought a multi meter. Bike measures .98mA by itself. With the volt meter in place it measure 9.8mA Way too much I think. Why would it be drawing so much? Bad connections somewhere? Again, I am an electrical idiot.…
  30. voltmeter readings 5th gen 9 Apr 2006 18:11 I know I have read articles and/or posts on electrical problems of the VFR so many times I think I am going to send off to Honda to establish mysekf on their R&D payroll... Otherwise, Teleskier, just curious, although I…
  31. voltmeter readings 5th gen 9 Apr 2006 16:18 no alarm system. The only thing I have that I know is running all the time is the multi function volt meter and the clock on the stock dash.
  32. voltmeter readings 5th gen 9 Apr 2006 15:09 Those numbers look good to me. :thumbsup: I would recheck the battery after the bike has been sitting over-night. If it can't keep a charge over-night, I think it's dead. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Went out this morning and…
  33. voltmeter readings 5th gen 9 Apr 2006 14:03 are you hijacking my thread? Just kidding. I hate electrical stuff
  34. voltmeter readings 5th gen 9 Apr 2006 04:08 Sounds good. Just wish I knew why it went dead in a weeks time if all is well
  35. voltmeter readings 5th gen 9 Apr 2006 03:32 those are substantially different than my numbers. I did not see in the manual about testing. Guess I will have to look again. Anyone else have any numbers to suggest which is closer to being correct, mine or goldVFR's?
  36. voltmeter readings 5th gen 8 Apr 2006 23:12 quick bump
  37. voltmeter readings 5th gen 8 Apr 2006 21:58 OK here are some readings after the battery got charged up. IDLE - low beams 13.5 - 13.7 2K RPM's 14.1-14.3 5K RPM's 14.3 IDLE - High beams 13.3 - 13.4 After shutting off and sitting about a minute, 12.8 Do all of these…
  38. voltmeter readings 5th gen 8 Apr 2006 21:08 Seems like there is a lot of talk regarding stators and R/R's lately. Well a lot of the time actually. I ran into a scenario today and need some help. I started and ran the bike briefly last weekend while mounting tire…
  39. 8 Spoke rear question 5 Apr 2006 18:48 So do the RC51 rims fit a 5th gen with direct bolt on of the rotors etc or are there modifications that are necessary? Thanks for the pics. Do you know if you have one anywhere straight on of the 8 spoke?

  41. 8 Spoke rear question 4 Apr 2006 21:21 no...your answer was fine, just looking for someone to confirm again. Never hurts to have a second opinion.
  42. 8 Spoke rear question 4 Apr 2006 19:24 still very silvery in nature. Definitely not with the gold tint that the other posted photograph depicts. It also depends on what you are spraying over from what I understand too. I can't believe no one else can chime…

  45. 8 Spoke rear question 4 Apr 2006 11:17 somwhere yes I have a pic of the chrome smoke. So do a few others on here if they see this before I can get one posted. Anyone else please chime in on my original question please.

  47. 8 Spoke rear question 4 Apr 2006 02:51 I was willing to pay just about anything. Lots of bidding right at the end. I think I got it for $325. Anyone else want to chime in on thoughts of whats under the silver paint?
  48. 8 Spoke rear question 3 Apr 2006 23:42 I just won an 8 spoke rear on Ebay which is the silver color. Does anyone know if I strip the rim like I did on my 5th and 6th gen if it will have the same silver anodized underneath?
  49. Transformed Wow ! 3 Apr 2006 19:34 Phil at Aftershocks set mine at 1" rear and 1 3/8" front which I think equates to about 26mm and 35mm. Feels great.
  50. Transformed Wow ! 3 Apr 2006 15:41 baileyrock Boy was I wrong on my theory related to rear spring rate. I had Phil at Aftershocks re-valve and re-spring my Vtec forks last summer and while I felt an improvement with the forks I wasn't happy with the…
