  1. What's wrong with this brake caliper?? 29 Dec 2021 01:15 @DannoXYZ I took a close look at the front left caliper and everything looks okay. Maybe it's because the left side doesn't have this bracket. Thanks for everyone's input. I've already ordered the sub-assembly (see…
  2. What's wrong with this brake caliper?? 28 Dec 2021 05:32 For starters, I very seldom visit this website anymore because my primary bike is now a Kawasaki Ninja 1000 (and has been for a couple years). Anyhow, please take a look at these pictures and let me know what you think.…
  3. Starter / Stop switch: help needed 2 Jul 2021 14:36 Can you please be more specific in terms of what I should do? I can change spark plugs, air filters, brake pads, etc. but when it comes to electrical issues, I don't know all that much.
  4. Starter / Stop switch: help needed 2 Jul 2021 11:50 I've got an '02 VFR that I very seldom ride anymore because I bought a Kawasaki Ninja 1000 last year. The VFR won't start and I have reason to believe it has something to do with the starter/stop switch (part 3 in the…
  5. I could use some assistance from a European member of this forum 17 Mar 2019 14:46 @ Mohawk - Thank you for your offer. It's 3 series (with the luxury package) in imperial blue. It looks identical to the photo attached to this post. Can you please PM me your address? @ Dutchy - Thank you for your…
  6. I could use some assistance from a European member of this forum 16 Mar 2019 17:57 I don't visit this forum much anymore because I work a lot of hours and simply don't have time to ride. Anyhow, there's a certain accessory I've been trying to find for my car. Although I have a late model car, BMW…
  7. Nicky Hayden in serious accident in Italy 23 May 2017 02:14 God bless you, brother. You will GREATLY be missed. MotoGP World Champion Nicky "The Kentucky Kid" Hayden. RIP. [image: nicky-hayden.jpg]

  9. Post A Picture Of Your Vfr 25 Jul 2016 04:24 I haven't posted here in a while, so here we go. All of these pictures were taken within the past three weeks. Cincinnati, Ohio [image: Cincinnati.JPG] Louisville, Kentucky [image: Louisville.JPG] Indianapolis, Indiana…
  10. 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month 17 Jun 2016 20:56 As long as we're on the subject of Yamaha's FZ series, check this out: http://www.sportrider.com/yamahas-street-based-fz-07-could-have-potential-race-success-with-specially-designed-track-kit
  11. 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month 16 Jun 2016 06:58 According to the European press, the MT-10 puts out 160-165 horses. Tuned just right and with the right rider, a high 9 in the quarter could be possible. It's definitely not for inexperienced riders. I once knew a guy…
  12. Anyone Ever Rebored/overbored A 5/6Th Gen 14 Jun 2016 22:26 Back in the 80's, I think it was Lamborghini that was having financial difficulties and didn't have the money to design, build, and test an all new engine. They bored out the cylinders as much as possible (for…
  13. 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month 11 Jun 2016 16:46 Maybe they will keep the FZ-09. Honda's got a CBR300R, CBR500R, CBR650F, and the VFR800. Clearly there's some overlap between some of these bikes in terms of their target market. The current generation FZ-1 has been…
  14. 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month 11 Jun 2016 04:40 Since the bike's only been available in Europe until now, you may want to log onto the British Google ( https://www.google.co.uk/) and do a search for Yamaha MT-10. You'll find a number of reviews, almost all of which…
  15. 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month 10 Jun 2016 23:02 If those yellow wheels aren't making you Rossi fans drool, maybe this will. [image: yamaha-mt-10-VR livery.jpg]
  16. 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month 9 Jun 2016 19:32 Yamaha offers a windscreen as an accessory. As for me, I hope they make fully-faired version of the bike. I'm surprised I haven't heard anybody say the bike looks like WALL-E. [image: FZ-10 windscreen.jpg] [image:…
  17. Where Are The SoCal Rides? 9 Jun 2016 06:39 ^ I'll take you up on that. When my father got out of high school, he did a four year stint in the Navy and then headed to California. In his words, it was the place to be and so everyone was going there. Nowadays I…
  18. 2017 Yamaha FZ-10 will be available in the USA later this month 9 Jun 2016 06:33 Read about it here: http://www.sportrider.com/video-2017-yamaha-fz-10-first-look It's already on Yamaha USA's web site: https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport/models/fz-10
  19. Where Are The SoCal Rides? 9 Jun 2016 04:01 ^ I admit I've only been on Mulholland Hwy. once (October or November of last year), but the second half of that chase scene does remind me of it. You've probably been on it at least 100 times, so I'm sure you're much…
  20. Where Are The SoCal Rides? 8 Jun 2016 23:39 Where are the SoCal rides?? Here's one: [video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/2FZ7aX_AyBU?feature=oembed] LOL, just kidding. A little off topic but I actually like this chase scene better. The second half of this video…
  21. Suzuki GSX-S1000 30 May 2016 23:04 Roland Sands customized an R1 a few years ago that I thought turned out very cool. Speaking of cool, imagine if Audi had built this superbike. If you think it resembles a Panigale, that's no coincidence. Audi owns…
  22. Suzuki GSX-S1000 29 May 2016 05:44 The MT-10 is on its way to America: http://www.motorcycledaily.com/2016/05/yamaha-mt-10-will-be-called-fz-10-when-it-arrives-in-u-s-next-year-with-video/
  23. Suzuki GSX-S1000 23 May 2016 17:18 The B-King was a real missile. And so was the K1300R. I'm hoping the MT-10 makes it to the States next year and is offered in both a standard and fully-faired version (kind of like what Kawasaki did with the Z1000 /…
  24. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 23 May 2016 05:33 Another good ride in SoCal is Mulholland Hwy. through the Santa Monica mountains. I started in Los Angeles (near Calabasas, I think) and ended in the Malibu / Pacific Palisades area. After having been on it, I remember…
  25. New Vfr800's Not Selling Very Well 18 May 2016 22:57 Some places get it and some places don't. Here's an excellent example of one that doesn't: If you look on cycletrader right now, there's a dealership in Oregon that's got a new 2010 VFR1200 on "clearance" for $17,499.…
  26. First time to Big Sur and Carmel 16 May 2016 02:20 @Doc4216 I'll tell you what you will want to miss: The gas station. The sole gas station in Big Sur sells 87 octane for $7/gallon. So that you don't think you misread that, I'll spell it out: SEVEN DOLLARS PER GALLON.…
  27. Superbike Day 14 May 2016 17:14 This one's my favorite. Not only do I like blue but it looks tasteful and doesn't scream "look at me." I don't like attention and some of those other bikes have colors, graphics, etc. that are too loud for my…
  28. Superbike Day 13 May 2016 21:04 Somebody recently started another thread about an MV Agusta Café Racer. That gave me the idea to go to a local dealership and snap a few pictures of my favorite Super Bike (and a few others, too.) 1) MV Agusta F4 RC 2)…
  29. Spotted - MV Agusta Klaus Bol D'Or 13 May 2016 06:33 A couple years ago I took a road trip to Birmingham, Alabama and stopped by the Barber Motorsports museum. I took many pictures there. Here are two of my favorites. Bottom pic: that's my bike to the left of the sign…
  30. Spotted - MV Agusta Klaus Bol D'Or 13 May 2016 06:09 The MV Agusta F4 has always been my favorite superbike. As a child, my favorite superhero was Batman and as an adult one of my favorite actors is Christian Bale. Anybody remember the Dark Knight? I saw that movie…
  31. Test Rode an R nineT Today 10 May 2016 03:23 Although I've always been a sport bike and cruiser guy, I've always told myself that if I ever won the lottery, I'd buy half a dozen bikes and one of them would be a Café Racer (and that Café Racer would be a BMW R nine…
  32. Spot the RC45 Parts on this Stunning 'Blade... 8 May 2016 04:20 US $8,651 for this? I think I'll pass. [image: FireBlade1.jpg] [image: FireBlade2.jpg]
  33. Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 6 May 2016 16:46 12 hours ago, lshark i paid around $500 for my 16K service on the 2010.....the spark plugs looked like brand new and i don't think too many 1200s have needed valve adjustment at 16k....mine were all within specs....i…
  34. Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 5 May 2016 22:11 Over the years there were a couple times I came close to buying a 7G. When I was looking on cycletrader, I noticed an above average number of 7G's with (in the neighborhood of) 15k miles on the odometer. The reason for…
  35. Differences in range between the 2010 and 2012 5 May 2016 18:56 Rice is right. The difference between a 5.0 gallon tank and a 4.9 gallon tank is no more than about four miles. I do know the 2012 & 2013 models have traction control while the 2010 doesn't. Just pick the one you want…
  36. My German VFR 4 May 2016 19:34 I once test rode one of those and really liked it (I think it's been around since '04 and so it's in dire need of an overhaul, though.) I hope they don't discontinue it. That's the bike the VFR1200F was designed to…
  37. Way to go Toni Elías! 4 May 2016 16:22 I saw another interview on youtube where Márquez is speaking what is probably Catalan (it sounded Latin but it definitely wasn't Spanish). I saw another video of Lorenzo speaking Spanish (but since Catalan is the…
  38. Way to go Toni Elías! 3 May 2016 21:19 Spanish is actually the most widely spoken language in that region of Spain. I have no idea what other languages Lorenzo or Márquez speak, but Márquez is clearly speaking Spanish in this interview. I have absolutely no…
  39. Way to go Toni Elías! 3 May 2016 17:31 Viñales is from that region of Spain, too, i.e. Cataluña . And I did know Lorenzo is from Palma de Mallorca (an island off the coast of Spain but still only about 150 miles from Barcelona.) For the life of me, I've…
  40. Goodbye Vicky ! ( 8Th Gen ) Helloooo Natasha ! Zzr14 2015 30 Apr 2016 03:51 I've always liked the 14 (more so than the Busa, anyway). Now imagine if Honda had increased the VFR1200's displacement an additional 63 cc's (for a total of 1300) and had gone with the alternate design they had in mind…
  41. Way to go Toni Elías! 30 Apr 2016 03:21 There must be something in the water in Barcelona. Márquez, Pedrosa, and the Espargaró brothers are all from there, too. And Lorenzo's home town is only about 150 miles away.…
  42. Suzuki GSX-S1000 29 Apr 2016 01:19 Anybody remember the Evo 6? It was more than a concept. Honda built a working protype of it but then pulled the plug on the whole project. The Evo 6 would have taken on the Diavel and V-Max head-to-head. What a bike…
  43. The coolest guy ever on a motorcycle 25 Apr 2016 22:08 Yeah, a lot of people don't know he was a prolific songwriter. I've heard he's got a couple thousand songs written that he never released (I've heard Eddie Van Halen does, too.) A lot of people also don't know he was a…

  46. Custom Bike Project (Gen5 Engine) Need Help Getting It To Start 5 Apr 2016 05:56 It looks like the wheels, swing arm, and forks came off an R1. Your bike reminds me of what Honda ought to build: a modern-day V65 Magna. For the life of me, I can't understand what possessed them into building bikes…
  47. Words Cannot Describe... 27 Mar 2016 01:50 MaxSwell Ackk! Now only an acid wash in both eyes will cure (except for Dutchy's contribution; we can always count on Dutchy) This girl's way hotter. Even with all her clothes on. [image:…
  48. Words Cannot Describe... 25 Mar 2016 15:31 For those of you that think that's the ugliest bike you've ever seen, clearly you've forgotten about (or never heard of) the BMW K1. [image: post-8583-0-29570300-1458919871.jpg]
  49. Past Bikes 14 Mar 2016 05:22 This is the same Yamaha FZ1 from my first post. I totaled in on May 12, 2007. I remember the accident like it was last week. To this day, I've never understood how I walked away from it unscathed. [image:…
  50. Past Bikes 14 Mar 2016 04:43 Excluding my current bike, these are the only others I've ever owned. When I was in college I had a couple buddies that would loan me their bikes (a Super Magna and a Suzuki I forget what). Neither of them had a car…
