New member with a bright yellow 2000

Thanks guys! Been riding the bike every chance I've had the last 2 days, definitely loving it so far.

Honestly, I didn't really want a yellow one. Too flashy for me. But when I found the craigslist post and saw how detailed the listing was, I knew whoever was selling the bike really cared about it so I figured I had to at least take a look at it. When I saw the kind of condition the bike was in the second I walked up to it I knew I had to have it.

Here's another cell phone shot, I left my camera at my parents' house a couple weeks ago, once I pick that up I'll get some real photos of the bike.

Nice find. Welcome aboard.

 

Beauty Bike Eh!

 

Yes sir, I am VFRless. For now. Focusing on my car that I just acquired. But I definitely miss the VFR.

I think that bike looks sweet without stickers!

 

Nice Colour! Velcome aboard :thumbsup:

 

After two weeks with the bike, I'm still in love. My daily commute is 3 miles, and somehow I've managed to put about 275 miles on in two weeks... I guess I'm finding excuses to get on the bike. I've noticed a few minor things, the head bearings click under braking, sounds like the valves may need some adjustment (oh joy), the clutch engages way at the end of the lever travel, and the exhaust is way too damn loud for me, but I can take care of all of those in one day if I ever get a day off.

I was able to get some real photos of the bike when I visited my parents on Easter, so I'll dump those here I guess. Yellow is an amazing color to shoot.

Very nice, glad you are enjoy the VFR :thumb:

 

Mine was clicking under hard braking & I just replaced the ball head bearings with AllBalls tapered roller bearings. It's a different beast now~

 

Clutch issue, as far as I know, is common on bikes with hydraulic clutch. Mine is the same way and most bikes that I've ridden.
