  1. Motorcycle Training worthless 23 Apr 2010 00:31 I don't know what can overcome target fixation other than training. Nuff said, IMO.

  3. Ram Mount Questions 4 Apr 2010 19:16 On my ;98 way back when I hooked up my digital camera to the LH mirror stalk (Y2K version) using the U-bolt Ram mount. I used a short strip of rubber hosing to make the stalk wider and to serve as a vibration damper. It…

  5. Riding Skills 10 Mar 2010 02:07 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…
  6. The Official Oil Thread 4 Mar 2010 14:26 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…
  7. Bars/ risers options? 4 Mar 2010 00:20 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…
  8. The Official Oil Thread 3 Mar 2010 13:05 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…

  11. Keeping the Battery Charged 7 Feb 2010 14:32 [image: View Post]2Dogs, on 06 February 2010 - 04:10 PM, said: So here I am in the deep in Winter in eastern Pennsylvania and the last ride was in early December (more than 60 days ago.) Do I need to be concerned about…
  12. Rear Cowl Modification (solo seat) 7 Feb 2010 02:46 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?
  13. Recommendations for cleaning shock linkage area 29 Jan 2010 12:40 [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…
  14. Recommendations for cleaning shock linkage area 29 Jan 2010 01:26 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…

  18. Shinkos, Anyone? 11 Apr 2009 23:09 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.
  19. Shinkos, Anyone? 11 Apr 2009 21:38 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…
  20. Shinkos, Anyone? 11 Apr 2009 17:36 I'm fixin' to get back to the VFR after a 3 year absence on a WeeStrom, an FZ1 and a Bandit 1250. So it's been a few years since I posted here on my favourite forum . . . (I see I've lost my post counts!) Anyhow, I…
