- Riding Skills Well I'll toss in my 2 cents. The VFR is not really that easy to turn compared to some others out there, but turned properly it can do anything any other bike can do. The WeeStrom for example seemed to turn…
- The Official Oil Thread mello dude This -- http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil1_Racing_4T_10W-40.aspx - Something else - dunno if I would use Dex-cool in your bike. md Thanks for the link. As for Dexcool, I am going by a…
- Bars/ risers options? The two main options seem to be Helibars and GenMar risers. Both are basically bolt-on, and the Genmars are simple and quick, the Heli's a bit more work. There is a lot of info on them here if you look around. The…
- The Official Oil Thread I'll be putting my as-yet-unridden new-to-me 93 on the road soonish. I've got a jug of Prestone pre-mix Dex-cool compatible coolant, Dot 4 brake fluid, and Iridium plugs ready to install . . . now I have to choose an…

- One VFR1200F now in my garage [image: View Post]Cynic, on 12 February 2010 - 05:47 PM, said: Power delivery very smooth, brakes dangerously powerful, suspension for me at 10.5 stone was just right. Steering seemed accurate but it was dark, slippery…

- Rear Cowl Modification (solo seat) Quote And why would you want the passenger grab bars with the cowl? So's you can take a passenger without re-installing the bars?
- Recommendations for cleaning shock linkage area [image: View Post]SEBSPEED, on 29 January 2010 - 06:08 AM, said: [image: View Post]Paladin, on 28 January 2010 - 08:26 PM, said: But as bad as the inside of the swingarm may be, nothing compares to the area around the…
- Recommendations for cleaning shock linkage area I am going through that process myself, and on a bike that is seriously grungy. The WD40 route is the safest for sure. But there are times I wish I had a hot high-pressure degreaser spray . . . and then just buy a new…

- Shinkos, Anyone? Despite the warnings, it seems that all of the reviews I've read from folks who've actually used them are surprisingly positive, with no horror stories.
- Shinkos, Anyone? My local roads are largely chip/seal, very tough on tire wear. I am lucky to see 3500 kms on a sport tire or 5,000 kms on a sport-touring tire. I have the HF changer but by golly buying and changing tires gets real old…
