  6. Fan switch mod 3 Aug 2012 20:51 It would be great to have a 200 deg thermo switch coupled with a switch slaved to the speed sensor that would shut the fan off when a set speed - maybe 30 or 35 mph - was reached. If someone builds this I'll buy it. The…

  11. Change of oil weight 21 Jun 2011 03:14 The must be the new faculty lounge, welcome aboard. VFRs make great bikes for intelligent folks with no money so college faculty seem to gravitate to them. :comp13: You're going to get a lot of opinions. My advice is to…

  19. Tired Of Having A Hot Vfr? 13 May 2011 20:56 Auspañol The stock blades are much more efficient when stopped or at such slow speeds that the naturally incoming air from the foreward movement of the bike doesn't overwhelm the force of the fan. Considerably more…

  24. G2 Throttle Tamer 4 May 2011 21:36 Might be worth a look. I do most of my commuting on a KLR and its throttle response is, shall we say, "different" than the VFR. Going back and forth between the bikes takes some adjustment. I adjust pretty quickly but…
