  1. GPS mount thing stuck in steering stem 25 Aug 2010 05:19 [image: View Post]Trace, on 25 August 2010 - 12:09 AM, said: Remove front wheel, look up and notice hole at bottom of steering stem, get a long metal rod of the appropriate diameter and tap the GPS mount thingy out from…
  2. GPS mount thing stuck in steering stem 25 Aug 2010 05:05 Anyone know how to get this off? It was a base for a GPS mount. I can't put the cap back on with it in there, so it looks just like the picture. Took the steering stem nut off, no luck, it's on the inside of the pipe.…
  3. Grip Recommendations 7 Aug 2010 15:54 Pro Grip 724 open ended in red, look like they were made for the VFR. My favorite. Attached thumbnail(s) [image: Attached Image: photo(27).JPG]
  4. Delkevic CF "Stubby" Installed (pics) 27 Jul 2010 16:06 I rode it to the store to get a hose clamp for the pipe. Damn, does it sound sweet. I can already tell I won't need to use earplugs on long rides, or put the baffle in after hours....it is just right. Well until I can…
  5. Delkevic CF "Stubby" Installed (pics) 27 Jul 2010 05:09 Cool thanks I'll do that. Do you need to seal that joint too?
  6. Delkevic CF "Stubby" Installed (pics) 27 Jul 2010 04:20 Here is the pipe I broke down and bought for my 5th gen. $226 to my door. Very nice looking, great build quality to this 350mm long pipe But, I got shorted one clamp (doesn't everyone?) Please fix this Delkevic already…
  7. Poll: Does the VFR (5th+) have enough power to keep you happy? 14 Jul 2010 23:25 To answer yes or no, you really have to be sure. I know because I went from a VFR, to an FZ1, back to a VFR. That's a pretty big loss in power but I don't really notice it. I can say without a doubt, if I were stuck…
  8. The Official Oil Thread 13 Jul 2010 17:39 Heh, thanks for the compliment I guess. :laughing6-hehe: Like I said I wanted to believe it, but it felt terrible in my bike. (rotella syn and dino) Ok so, these short OIC's are getting ridiculous. I'm running Mobil 1…
  9. The Official Oil Thread 12 Jul 2010 20:59 swimmer Toppers Changed my vote from Rotella to Mobil 1. I really wanted to believe it would replace an expensive synthetic, but my 5th gen ate it in less than 2,000 miles. And shifting was pretty bad with the Rotella…
  10. The Official Oil Thread 12 Jul 2010 14:49 On a side note, anyone know how legit this Amsoil "Study of Motorcycle Oils" is that they release? Pretty interesting but hard to believe Amsoil spanks every oil in every test that bad.
  11. The Official Oil Thread 11 Jul 2010 14:23 Changed my vote from Rotella to Mobil 1. I really wanted to believe it would replace an expensive synthetic, but my 5th gen ate it in less than 2,000 miles. And shifting was pretty bad with the Rotella out the gate.…
  12. The Official Oil Thread 9 Jul 2010 15:02 Has anyone found dino Rotella to be better than Syn Rotella? I ask because after only 2k miles my bike destroyed the T6 and it shifts like hell now, but I hear about 15W-40 owners going 3-4k no issues.
  13. Who actually switches to a heavier oil in warmer months? 8 Jul 2010 16:28 Alright thanks crew, Rotella t6 year round it is.
  14. Who actually switches to a heavier oil in warmer months? 8 Jul 2010 06:09 Is it really that imperative to change viscosity or is that a thing the air cooled crowd has to be more strict about? I'm really digging the Rotella 5W-40 syn. But I mean come on, there is no 50 weight unless I go Mobil…
  15. ProGrips Installed Poorly 15 Jun 2010 23:00 Thanks for the replies, never would have thought of these suggestions but I will try them. Would RTV work ok? I will try to no-glue method first though.
  16. ProGrips Installed Poorly 15 Jun 2010 21:22 So some previous owner (noob) installed a ProGrip for the throttle. Problem is they seated it out about 1/2" too far. It rubs on the bar ends, even with a million washers installed. Quite annoying. Is the only option…
