The brake fluid in the clutch master is likely to be trash/ goo. It would not hurt to plan on a rebuild of it. It wouldn't suprise me if all...
Welcome to VFRW WaveyDavey. I hope you are able to clean out all the "goo" in the tank before trying to start the engine. You don't want to make...
A warm (see what I did there?) welcome! Good looking 500 that you have there. Nice photo too.
Welcome Indri. The '14 VFR 800 is a great version to have. Regarding your brake noise: does the sound only happen when the brake is applied?...

Thanks for the recomendation, I did purchase a set of TechSpec tank pads. Have yet to install them. For the Grips I am not interested in...

Did you polish the frame yourself?
Assuming this is a '98-'01 5th gen. How many miles, and did you replace the bulbs with the same OEM version? Does switching between high and...
