what did you do to your vfr today?

drained the coolant. Masking tape was too cold to tear off for marking the sensor wire so I got pissed off and threw it to my neighbours yard.

Does polarity even matter on that sensor on the lower left side of the radiator? (86 VF500F)

 

Ah, Decker Canyon. I have much tread deposited on that road!

 

Here's another short clip recorded today, just for you northern hemisphere cold types! That whining sound is what 6th and later gen riders are missing out on! No need for Depeche Mode this time! Turn up the sound and enjoy!

Nice, it still sort freaks me out when a vehicle shows up, but what the hey right

 

Yeah the sounds is awesome in that vid, if the camera were a little closer to the screen so we had a better view of what is ahead it would be perfect.

Threw what in the neighbor's yard? The bike, the tape, the sensor?

The sensor should just be a switch, if you are talking about the one for the fan that is. Sort of like the brake switches, it shouldn't matter which way you put it back. But hey don't quote me on that, i could be 100% wrong.

 

Yes you're right about the camera position, it was just suction cupped on the tank ahead of the filler. Another cm would have been great. I did the same yesterday on my VTR and it was in the perfect position on that bike.

Yup.
"Thermostatic switch coupler" pg 6-6 in the FSM
I should really start checking it before mucking about.

 

So to follow up with my earlier post that had the videos from my Malibu ride. Here's a small snippet from the rear camera I used. As I mentioned in my earlier post, my GoPro camera audio was shite. (This is the long story) This is because I cut a whole in the side of the case to allow for the USB cable to be used while riding. Since I forgot the power adapter and the USB cable, the extra whole in the side of the case created more wind/case noise, drwoning out the motor noise! Anyway, this little snippet is to give you some idea of how well this camera actually works where it's mounted. This clip is us at the Rock Store getting ready to roll while two 2-stroke bikes get warmed up. I believe these are a Suzuki RG500 and a Yamaha RD350.

The Innovv C3 camera was attached to the back of the bike. The lens is mounted to the fender but the actual camera is stuffed into the tail bag.



Even though it's not out in the open, the audio from this camera came out pretty well I think.

BTW, the rear camera view videos of The Snake and Tuna Canyon vids will be up shortly, sans Depeche Mode Soundtrack :wink:

 

So here's the rear camera view of the Snake video. If possible open up and play this and the previous one I posted simultaneously, put them side by side and trip out on it. If you get the timing right, it's pretty cool. I tried to edit both videos at the same start and end points.

Thought for a sec I smelt that two stroke exhaust. ..
Sounded incredible

 

Here's the rear view video of the Tuna Canyon video. Like mentioned above, try and stream both videos at the same time. I think it works best with the rear facing video on the left. My goal is to use the Pinnacle Software and do this with editing. Probably won't happen for a few weeks. work has me tied up pretty good!

Go and grab one of these, light it and watch the video again. Yes, that's a two stroke scented candle!

 

SAWEEEET, love the crystal clear camera and rear mount.
Lucky you got that in before the storm.
Good job bud

 

Nice video there OOTV , gota love that sound, what a sound, there's nothing like it.

 

Now as far as what I did today with the VFR..............................I walked by it and drooled in what's to come.

 

Thanks. Yeah, I think the issue with the GoPro camera is that the case lens has been beaten up pretty good. I found some replacement lenses for the case and swapped it out the other day. If there is any clear sky tomorrow, I may do a quick run down the coast to grab some footage.

 

Hit and miss showers tomorrow. ..hopefully you get lucky...

 

Bought a new/used electric vest and controller. Mmmmm.

 

Picked up a brand new Gerbing jacket liner myself a few weeks ago ... $175 CAD with no taxes. I practically stole it!!

 

From the video, STOP AHEAD, or don't stop ahead? Was that one of those optional stops?
