- VFR charging issues only when hot Are you sure you dont have a short circuit in the brake light circuit ? It also sounds like you used a 24V truck battery charger. Something labeled 350A shouldn't be connected to a motorcycle battery.
- rusty crusty 1999 revival UV /sunlight takes its toll on the red color and is the main cause of degeneration of plastic parts. Many people use sun protection of different kinds, but what do bikes use ?

- 1998 VFR800 idles around 2.2k RPMS Is the idle settings depending on a temperature sensor or thermal switch? If so that could be something to look after.

- 1999 Honda CB750 conversion to VFR750 sssa and car wheel Does the wheel center in the frame? The hub may be stamped with an hub offset. Common here would be the letters ET followed by the offset in mm. Probably different in US. I would start with centrering the wheel in the…

- 86 VFR700F Retool or therapy or both Thanks tsmitty. It was mainly a look to get feeling for how accessible the studs are and your picture gives that quite well. Man, do these downpipes look clean and nice condition. Thanks very much Fastdruid for the…

- Chain slack adjustment - side stand or main stand I check (not measure with a ruler) with the bike on centre stand when I lube the chain and occasionally when I sit on the bike. I have on some bikes experienced that the chain felt too tight with load compared to…
