what did you do to your vfr today?

Sure you're not thinking of Canadians?

I got out to the shop on a Saturday night, after a full day. I was tired but determined to do the oil change. (I think I was too tired.) I pulled the fairing, being sure to have as much fun as possible pulling the fairing body clips. I drained the oil, changed the filter but managed to misread the evil sight window and I over filled it. I pulled the drain plug again and dropped a quart out. Put the fairing back on and managed to dislodge a well nut. Spent 15 minutes trying to reinstall something never meant to be reinstalled. I made a mess of it and managed to get it back in. It fell out as I was tightening the screw but I did manage to get it to make up. I did the chain maintenance and took up a little slack. I took it out yesterday for a ride on a day that the temperature high was 50. It was not very pleasant. Today I find out the I rode over 150 miles, with speeds, at times in the triple digits with the bike probably a pint over full. Damn it!!I think I am losing my mind.

 

Nice! Maybe your suffering from riding too much - not!!!! That can never exist

 

Shit happens, then ya ride again.....

 

Tearing off the front wheel. Taking it to work so they can put the new tire on it.

 

BJ, I don't think a pint over is going hurt anything. I notice on my 8th gen that the oil totally disappears after you start it, so there has to be some leeway there, it's when there is insufficient air space above the oil that causes the damage.

 

If you start the bike the oi level drops to be half in the sight glass window with the bike sitting level.

From now on I am going to buy my oil by the individual quart or I am going to get a plastic jug and put marks on it so I can pre-measure the amount of oil. Plus it would help if i did the work with my head pulled out of my ass.

 

3.4 quarts Jim, not 4 but then you knew that huh. I just did an oil change myself for the first time in a while, I knew I needed 4 Qts. but not quit, so put like 3.7 in, saw it a bit high in the sight glass started it up thinking ok it'll go down once it has reticulated around, nope, to much, so a quick let some out, now its fine. Now it's wrote down. Now as far as what I did? not much, waiting for parts

 

Fer after the 3 quarts

 

Many riders who should know better still think the sightglass, or dipstick are to be checked with the bike on the sidestand.

Things that make you go GRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

My Service Books says 3.9 US Quarts for the VTR but I could be losing my mind. I am still not quite sure. Like I said, I think I am going to get a dedicated clean clear plastic jug and make marks and label them for the appropriate bike.

 

Oh, I thought you had your hands on the VFR.. I stand corrected. Yo Duccman, I have the very measuring cup

 

Yeah been through this shit before, so I decided to buy measuring cup.
DOH

 

That was why I messed up. The Superhawk VTR is 3.9 us quarts and the Interceptor VFR is 3.4 with filter. I got confused because I have both bikes and apparently I can't tell them apart.

 

LOL I hate that when that happens..................if only I had that problem having two bikes.

 

and if you're like me I have scribbles with a sharpie all over it letting me know what goes where and how much.

 

Now thats a hoot, if only I took the picture from the other side......SHARPIE SCRIBBLES

 

They follow me home and my wife lets me keep em.

 

Just wore down the tires a bit.
