  1. VFR dash disappointing... 14 Sep 2012 04:44 It is located in the fairing under the front, Look at the oil cooler, then at the underside of the fairing. The sensor is the odd looking thing sticking out of the fairing.
  2. BHP Increase with Aftermarket Exhaust 12 Sep 2012 15:57 I have an '03 with Motad headers, Laser slip ons, K&N filter, PCV with O2 eliminators that dyno-ed at 105 HP during the PCV set-up.
  3. Z-max 14 Aug 2012 04:15 Carroll Shelby loves the stuff. Don't use it in the oil or the clutch will slip...

  6. 6Th Gen Fuel Pressure Regulator 18 Jul 2012 22:36 [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on 18 July 2012 - 01:44 PM, said: Gas will only flow from the tank if the pump is powered on. Buzzzzzzzzzz...Thanks for playing, but you are incorrect, Mr. Speed. OK, you are partially…
  7. 6Th Gen Fuel Pressure Regulator 18 Jul 2012 16:24 And don't forget that the fuel return line from the FPR has no check valve. Whatever fuel is in the tank will flow out when you remove it. Have a gas can ready unless you remove the tank completely and turn it upside…
  8. Fuel Smell 14 Mar 2012 23:40 I suggest you take a look at the gasket in your gas cap. These sometimes dry out (even when "washed" with gas) such that, when the engine heat warms the tank after stopping, gas fumes can leak out. I grease my gasket…
  9. which helmet 11 Feb 2012 01:08 I wouldn't ask which one should be chosen...I ask why would anyone ask for someone else's opinion on what to buy? The only thing you can't go wrong with is buying from motorcyclegear.com! Good people and great prices...
  10. Parking Etiquette 29 Oct 2011 13:52 I just retuned from a trip to Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey) and I saw more scooters than people, most of which were parked between the sidewalk and the street or in designated parking areas (HUGE areas with…
  11. Thats it for me boys and girls ! 5 Oct 2011 17:01 I hope you heal quickly and I respect your decision. At 58 YO I wonder what will cause me to hang up my boots. I want it to be the day I can no longer throw a leg over the bike but… I wish you the best and…what have you…
  12. Back on the Forum, and look what I did today! 8 Jun 2011 16:16 So, what company is it? Don't you want to plug it? Who knows, you might start a run on your products...we're always looking for suppliers, right guys???
  13. What did you own before your 6th Gen? 8 Jun 2011 04:11 A 3rd gen...a beautiful white '93. Before that, an '85 VF500.
  14. Joey Dunlop onboard Honda V4 RS850R 21 Oct 2010 13:25 "The V4 is the perfect bike for the TT"...Thanks, that was fun!
  15. Headlight Modulator? 19 Oct 2010 16:55 I have these on my '03 and they do get attention. They modulate the high beams so the low beams are always on. A little pricey, but an EASY installation.
  16. Look Ma, No Hands 5 Oct 2010 19:13 [image: View Post]TheBigCheese, on 05 October 2010 - 05:20 AM, said: Keith Code would be shocked. Reg Pridmore wouldn't be...according to Pridmore, your arms are in the way. OK, maybe not in the way but not required to…
  17. New Tires 13 Aug 2010 14:45 While country of origin is important 'cause, frankly, some do better than others, what is more important is the date of manufacture. It is a four number code that designates the week and the year the tires were made.…

  19. Steering Head Bearings - Secret to Installing the Lower Race? 3 Jun 2010 18:56 One "trick" I've used is to grind the outer diameter of the removed race such that it will just fit into the head without interference. I use it, upside down, to set the new bearing race as it will have full…
  20. Voltmeter 4 Jun 2009 00:46 [image: View Post]Beck, on Jun 3 2009, 11:34 PM, said: Would wiring it directly to the battery give a slightly different reading from if you wire it dowstream trough the wiring harnesses, ignition switch and maybe even…
  21. For The Love Of All Things Holy Cant Anyone Keep Their Bikes Upright ! 22 May 2009 14:14 Gawd, I wish I was perfect...but my '03 has fallen over twice...both times all my fault. I guess if I just left the bike in the garage all the time it would still be perfect...
  22. Shinkos, Anyone? 11 Apr 2009 20:44 http://www.shinkotireusa.com/about.php
  23. Chain Longevity? 25 Mar 2009 19:22 Chain life...I guess it could be grouped with which oil to use and whether lemon Pledge is good for your finish. I have gotten 20+K from a chain...once. The next wore out at 10K. You get what you pay for. I know some…

  25. Black Stebel Nautilus Horn 15 Jan 2009 19:40 I installed mine behind the left turn signal in the fairing. I made a bracket to support the horn that attaches to the fairing stay and mounted the relay on the old horn mount. I'm not the only one who has used this…
  26. Finally Recorded The Noise That My Bike Is Making. Cct? Help! 3 Jul 2008 13:29 Get a long screw driver - put the handle to your ear and the tip to various places on the engine and listen. If the noise is the CCT, you should hear a similar noise all the time, just a different pitch and intensity as…
  27. Old 1000cc V4 Rumour... 2 Jul 2008 17:54 English humor...I don't get it sometimes...coconuts...
  28. The High Mileage Thread... What Do You Have On Your Vfr? 26 Mar 2008 02:25 Just under 54K on my '03 - daily commute, long rides and everything else in between...
  29. Dn-01 4 Oct 2007 21:26 Reading about how the transmission works reminds me of a hydraulic motor system that was used when I was in the Navy...back in the 70's. Old technology returns...
