  1. More Cooling Questions 6 Oct 2009 15:41 NOT a fan of humidity, which is why I want to be back in Colorado. Thank you for the offer though. I might visit sometime.
  2. More Cooling Questions 6 Oct 2009 14:21 [image: View Post]coderighter, on Oct 5 2009, 03:42 PM, said: Then again, I live in an area that the temps in the 90's are pretty rare. I think I read somewhere Seattle only averages 5, 90+ days per year. Except for…
  3. Honda V4 Test Rider's Thoughts 3 Oct 2009 05:31 [image: View Post]CandyRedRC46, on Sep 30 2009, 01:01 AM, said: "The engineer was also keen to point out that the V4 enjoys the same much-praised crossplane effect as the R1. "Yamaha would have built a real V4 if they…
  4. More Cooling Questions 27 Sep 2009 19:02 In augmenting a cooling system, I've always considered a couple of small computer fans on the oil cooler as the radiator(s) perform a designed function with the water, the oil is also a liquid that absorbs heat and ,…
  5. More Hoooey?! 12 Jul 2008 13:08 LOTS of "if's" with this and until an official release or roll-out, I'm just not buyin.....yet. Of course, I would think that putting the 2 cylinders up fron would make it a bit roomier for things like the split…
  6. Shoot Me Now Please 24 Jun 2008 16:21 I'm not finding anything more recent than last summers MCN and similar articles. Nothing will likely hit the press here in the States until August-ish anyway. We'll probably have to wait until then to see just how bad…
  7. Is This True? 20 Jun 2008 23:15 Was goofing around and found this (in French, basically the same article): http://www.motorevue.com/site/vfr-1000-le-...rces-25049.html
  8. If They Have 200hp 800cc V4 21 May 2008 15:37 They wouldn't have to engineer and produce a whole new bike, just a transmission and frame. The ST engine IS a "V-4", the rest is available in parts from other models (inverted forks from a 900RR or 929 for example).…
  9. Is This True? 21 May 2008 06:22 Sorry, not until "official" word is released I'm not putting much faith in it. Even after that, I wouldn't buy an "alpha" model. I would wait a couple years at least until the bugs (and you know there will be) get…
  10. Ok, I'm Stoopid... Chain Adjustment? 20 May 2008 05:07 There is a spanner wrench with a flat extension tube in your tool kit. Loosen the pinch bolt at the aft end of the swingarm. Take the spanner wrench and set it into the toothed wheel on the swingarm side of the wheel…
  11. Aaargh! Does Anyone Know If We're Getting A New Model Yet? 17 May 2008 10:11 Tired of waiting for the liter class V4. I went and added a Blackbird to the roost of Black bikes :) Too bad American Honda hasn't imported them since '03. New ones are still available in Europe and the land Down Under…
  12. Tire Time 16 Sep 2007 14:20 I've had complete confidence in Metzler. Currently on an MEZ-4 front and an MEZ-6 rear. Got about 2k on the rear and no commuter flat spot. About 3.5k up front with a slight (about 1") flat spot trying to form.…
  13. Rhino Linings 30 Jul 2007 07:07 Cleaning and keeping it shiny on the bike shouldn't be too difficult. After a wash (scrub if needed - no worries about scratching it), just use a little WD-40 on a rag and it'll be shiny, not to mention probably easier…
