All 26- What Fork Oil Wt With F4i Internals Mod ... I used Motul Factory Line 7.5wt last time. The bike shop nearby also has 5wt, but no mention of the cST rating? Any ideas? check the Mother Of All Viscosity Charts found on this informative Website
- Corporate Quote On 2010 V4 [image: View Post]FotoMoto, on Jun 8 2009, 11:47 PM, said: Sure, you can get a 800cc motor to produce crazy horsepower but at what rpm and more importantly what amount of torque and at what real world rpm. And another…
- Corporate Quote On 2010 V4 Am I the only one who *does not* want a 1000cc VFR? The VFR got famous being an all-day, all-arounder bike; super-sport sized yet just comfortable enough to tour on. Since then supersports went from 750 to 600, but the…

- Vf1000r Rebuild Quote Quote If you had a 41mm cartridge fork, you could just swap the 1000r sliders onto it an call it a day...Nice idea, but, the tubes are too short! :blush: damn! even longer than a gen5? :blink: :idea3: sooo...…

- Looking To Upgrade Fork Guts. How Far Should I Go? JamieDaugherty The Showa 3-port valves are ok for the rebound side, but leave a little to be desired on the compression side. For those models that are equipped with the 3-port valves (primarily the 90's models) it's ok…
- Looking To Upgrade Fork Guts. How Far Should I Go? hlf Another alternative you might consider is just modifying the stock internals. Quite a few VFR riders have had good luck with Aftershocks revalving. Again, there's another economics situation. Stock Showa 3-port…
- Looking To Upgrade Fork Guts. How Far Should I Go? tx_vfr I'm sure there's a really simple answer to this question that I"m missing, but why not just swap in F4 forks in place of the VFR's? Economics. bent F4 parts fork = $35 allegedly straight eBay F4 fork = $350
- Looking To Upgrade Fork Guts. How Far Should I Go? ...the F3 cap has a longer cast aluminum lower section than the VFR cap. That's correct; the parts from rebound-adjustable caps and non-adjustable don't match up. I was implying you might take F4 caps and put them on F3…
- Looking To Upgrade Fork Guts. How Far Should I Go? For a 6th Gen, it's F4 damper guts, but no specific year as far as I know. [All 6th Gens = F4 = 43mm forks, all 5th Gens = F3 = 41mm forks] The only difference diameter-wise between 41 and 43mm cartridges is the outer…
- Looking To Upgrade Fork Guts. How Far Should I Go? I take it everyone is using the original GoldValves, no one on the G2-Rs ?
- Looking To Upgrade Fork Guts. How Far Should I Go? Could anyone post the RT setup instructions for their G2-R compression valves? I have a set of used preload adjustable 20mm valves, but no documentation.
- We Don't Need No Stinking Cush Drive... JZH The swing arm clearly has a "history", but I'm not a party to it. Some of the brake parts are carefully marked "swing arm #2", suggesting it was once part of someone's race kit, and the arm itself is marked "SJ" on…
- Cornerspin School I had so much fun at American Supercamp , I bought my own CRF100 and a grooving tool to make flattrack tires. Unfortunately now I got no place to ride it, so I still suck. This school is so close to my current location,…

- Best Laptop Tank Bag My Ocelot/Tourmaster magnetic would easily hold an old Compaq Armada m700 with 15" screen. Never had a problem with the magnets hurting the PC, and I'd set the LT right on them in the bottom of the tankbag. (Old…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System Tightwad I did notice that my battery is now stable at 12.6 after a night, where it should be, instead of 13.2 where it had been....sure sign that it was being overcharged before the mod. At 12.6v your battery is in a…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System talus If MR HONDA is so smart why do I have a fried stator connector on what I consider to be a relatively new bike? Heh; I have a 4th gen! Don't have to tell me about failure-prone Honda electrics. Yer preaching to the…
- Oil Filter Question Ahhh, oil filter thread! (yea, I'm bored.) I use a Wix (NAPA) 1356 filter. I'd use it even if it cost more than Honda's. There is nothing bad, nor special about Honda's filter. Not made by Honda, just some vendor; seen…
- Tips & Tricks To Help Your Charging System This thread is getting crazy. Some things should probably be pointed out here before everybody starts de-evolving their 6gen charging system back to 1985. Acceptable charging system voltage, as measured at the battery…
- Pirelli Diablo Strada Vs Michelin Pilot Road Is anyone using a Diablo Sport on the front and Strada on the rear, like the once popular BT-010/BT-020 combination? I've been happy with Bridgestone, but would like to experiment with the more triangular Pirellis.
- Another Frankenviffer douglasthecook I already did that, but the plastic white tube that the rubber grip is on seems stuck. I split the case like you said, but I can't get the darn thing off!!! It just doesn't want to come off of the…
- Another Frankenviffer How do I get the rubber grips off of the handle bars? I have everything else removed, but my Clymers manual doesn't say anything about getting the grips off. WD-40. Stick the straw between the grip and the bar, squirt.…
