I don't know that there is one. If I'm honest, I'd not really considered upgrading to USD forks. The cartridge option for the stock forks seemed...
3600 miles on a 2015. Picked it up new in the spring 2018.
I've got the AK20 cartridges on mine and it is a massive upgrade. Cost me about $1450, but well worth it.
Sweet spot found: Settings as delivered to me were: Preload: 6 turns in Rebound: 2 turns in Compression: 1 1/2 turns in My adjustments:...
I'm no Rossi, but I do like to get busy in the twisties. I wanted something I know would stick, but hopefully last around 5k miles without...
Modern oils do still thicken when cold, but I think to your point is it's not like it used to be 20 - 30 years ago. The flipside is that...
Typically, trying to fit a 190 on the stock rim sized for a 180 will pinch it and screw up the profile. Some have done it and like it, but not...
Thanks Ducnut!! I'm going to add the turn of preload back in. From there I'll try 1 1/2 turns in on rebound. That is the mid point between...
So I finally got my forks back, and have had it in for coolant, brake, clutch fluid flush, and got some Dunlop Q3+s put on. Yesterday, the...
So the good folks at Traxxion are done with my forks, and are being shipped back to my local guy. With any luck, in a couple days I'll have it...
Thanks, and I've only heard good things about Traxxion. Either later this year or this time next year I'll be upgrading the rear shock as well,...
Thanks for the replies and suggestions!! Going to go with the AK-20s. They are probably the best fit for what I want. Will have new caps,...
I guess I should have looked before I leaped when I got the base model VFR. I had figured it would not be problematic to upgrade the...
Hey Bubba. Was not throwing rocks your way, you just brought up some good talking points. My intent was more "rules of thumb", not picking nits...
During storage, start ups and short trips do more harm than good. Unless you get the bike fully warmed up, the little bit of water / condensation...
The fueling isn't bad out of the box, and is better than my 04 VFR was stock. The PCV does smooth things out and eliminates any compromises Honda...
I went with the Arrow. Great sound, and not too loud with the DB killer in. With the DB killer out, it's even better. Maybe consider a PCV...
You say you went back and set it up per the manual. This is good, but may not solve all your problems. Have you set your sag? Should have about...
I never thought I'd like a gear indicator, but on the 8th gen that has one, it gets a glance more than I would have expected. It's a nice to have...
What kind of mileage were you getting out of the Q3's? I'm putting new tires on mine in the spring and thinking of the M7RRs. I ride mostly...
