  2. Harsh Ride - 2002 Vtec 3 Jul 2015 23:19 Success! Got everything back together and it feels great.
  3. Harsh Ride - 2002 Vtec 3 Jul 2015 01:51 Thank you Terry, I did exactly as you describe while setting the level (the manual was fairly clear on this part). I also noticed the extra resistance on the leg to get it fully seated down after it was primed, but I…
  4. Harsh Ride - 2002 Vtec 2 Jul 2015 21:12 Well I think I am onto one major problem, I am a dum### when it comes to suspension. When I read BR's 30 minute fork oil change he said to lift the front wheel off the ground, which fully extends the fork tube. So I…
  5. Harsh Ride - 2002 Vtec 2 Jul 2015 01:59 Thanks guys. Jamie sent me info on setting up the rear, which I will start testing. Trying the lighter oil is really easy, so that's next as well. The forks are stock, but I throughly cleaned the internals when I did…
  6. Harsh Ride - 2002 Vtec 30 Jun 2015 19:06 Ok, you are right, I have an adjuster at the bottom! I was looking at the top like the old VFR shock. Been awhile since I installed it, and like I said I have not rode the bike for a year. I can start playing with the…
  7. Harsh Ride - 2002 Vtec 30 Jun 2015 17:32 Curious, are the forks also DMr modified? and why can't you adjust the rear shock preload? Forks are stock. Unless I am missing something, the pre-load can't be adjusted. When you order the shock from DMr you give him…
  8. Harsh Ride - 2002 Vtec 30 Jun 2015 16:36 ~95,000 miles on the bike. Changed fork seals two years ago and then loaned the bike to my son for a year. Got it back, took a short ride and it felt really harsh on rough roads. Thought with the mileage the rear shock…
  9. Help, Need Chain Lube Advice... 4 Apr 2013 03:32 150k+ miles on different bikes, never "cleaned" a chain. Slap some gear oil down every 600 miles or so...the good O-ring chains last 22k-25k miles...then replace sprockets and chain...rinse and repeat @ the next 23k…
  10. VFRD Thank You So Much 25 Jun 2010 03:29 Miguel showed me every great road in this state, the great places to eat along the way, and the name of each mountain range we ride. I was more than happy to pledge, but honestly I thought it would never really happen.…
  11. Will You Buy Without A Test Ride? 8 Nov 2009 04:27 I bought my new 2002 without a test ride because it had a badge that said VFR. I knew then that I could count on its background / reliability and it was likely more on the sports side versus touring. 68,000 miles later…
  12. Finally Recorded The Noise That My Bike Is Making. Cct? Help! 7 Jul 2008 04:45 [image: View Post]spud786, on Jul 6 2008, 08:42 PM, said: Okay Riv, We'll let it ride there >G< Where is the Reddog guy, and how many miles has he done with his fix, to show permanant success? I just dont see the…
  13. Pilot Road 2's As A Sport Tire Review! 20 Jun 2008 02:39 Good tip on the Derby outfit. Cheapest I could find for the Road 2s and they made it to Colorado in just a few days. I think they shipped the same day I ordered them. Thanks guys! :fing02:
  14. My Cct's Are Going 20 Nov 2007 07:26 [image: View Post]HispanicSlammer, on Nov 6 2007, 11:30 PM, said: My freind Reddog took out his Cam Chain Tensioners (CCT) and was able to somehow put some more preload on the spring? I havent see this done but he…
  15. Pilot Powers/2ct's Recalled 16 Jun 2007 18:29 [image: View Post]Brown81, on Jun 16 2007, 03:58 PM, said: I just got a brand new front on, luckily it was made in Spain. :thumbsup: Spain here too..good find lizard.
  16. Pilot Powers/2ct's Recalled 16 Jun 2007 05:26 Interesting...I just got a new set of PPs put on today. I wonder how they will handle the recall? Free new front tire and we pay for the mount/balance?
  17. Stator Tests 25 May 2007 05:58 chris2992 Thanks Cooter. I have heard bad things on eletrex products, so I won't be using them. But You saw where I had spoken of Ricks Motorsport Electronics, I am going to call their CS office today and speek with…
  18. 2007 An Ozarks Odyssey 11 Apr 2007 17:05 Very nice video Miguel. Looked like some parts dragging on the Talimena! I almost went with you but thought 4 days of slab was not worth two days of corners. However, watching the vid reminded me of just how good the…
  19. How do you know when it's time... 17 Apr 2006 13:49 Lastchance, on Apr 15 2006, 06:44 PM, said: Mine went at 40k put a abs stocker on love that remote knob. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How much for the abs stocker and where did you get it? Thanks.
