  1. How To Turn A 30Min Clutch Change Into 12Hrs 18 Mar 2016 21:24 Update: March 2016 Spent $100 on tools (breaker bar, torque wrench, center holder) and parts to get the clutch back to OEM. And guess what, the jimmied half bolt held just fine after thousands of miles of aggressive…
  2. How To Turn A 30Min Clutch Change Into 12Hrs 25 Aug 2015 22:07 Yes, but apparently the bolt was stressed. The head popped as soon as tightened it past snug--less than 1/8th of a turn. TNRabbit Isn't the torque soec on those like 9 ft lbs?
  3. How To Turn A 30Min Clutch Change Into 12Hrs 25 Aug 2015 07:27 Possibly good points but this fix appears to be very low risk. The bolt is encased by by two cups (lifter plate and outer clutch) with metal lips. And the clutch cover also--essentially a clamshell, in a clamshell, with…
  4. How To Turn A 30Min Clutch Change Into 12Hrs 25 Aug 2015 00:07 Shifting from 1st to 2nd has been spongy after 25k on my '03 VFR. Last week I got stuck between gears and had trouble finding first after rocking the bike. I hoped that replacing the stock clutch with a Barnet…
  5. Seat Latch Broken? (6Th Gen) 20 Mar 2015 02:09 SOLVED! I got the rear cowl off and was able to pull the latch open where Dutch is pointing. It feels so good to have my bike back. It's parked down on a second level subbasement and I'd of been so screwed trying to…
  6. Seat Latch Broken? (6Th Gen) 19 Mar 2015 22:33 Thanks for all the pics fellas, they're super helpful. I took the grab handle off immediately but can't see the mechanism. There is a black sheathed cable that passes under the grab handle mounting nuts. I'm not sure if…
  7. Seat Latch Broken? (6Th Gen) 18 Mar 2015 20:50 it might be possible to hook the cable and pull it enough to release the seat. It wouldn't have to be pulled hard as the spring on the pin is not all that strong. Great writeup and advice Cogswell, thank you. I will…
  8. Seat Latch Broken? (6Th Gen) 18 Mar 2015 04:10 have someone hold the key turned to the right and then you try pushing down on the back edge of the seat and see if the slide will release I tied the key to full clockwise and did everything but knock the bike off the…
  9. Seat Latch Broken? (6Th Gen) 18 Mar 2015 01:08 I have a ten year old sargent seat that's never given me problems on my 2003 VFR. Today, I planned to put the battery back in after winter storage and could not remove the seat. I spent two hours trying everything I…
  10. Fork oil Question 18 Apr 2011 03:25 My friend and I both have 6th gens with stock forks and replaced our oil today. Mine is a 2003 and has 19,000 miles with the original fork oil. I drained 510cc of black oil. No visible wear on any internal parts. The…
