A sticking fuel pump relay would cause these symptoms. They're cheap and easy to replace, so it would be the first thing I'd renew to eliminate...
I was camping at Ballamoar (..behind the Raven pub) at the Classic TT last year on my VFR, and it rained most days. However, during the Classic...
Noise from a bike's intake can certainly be loud enough to drown-out the sound of the engine - and on a V-twin or V-four it will sound more like a...
Most of the RC30s ridden at last year's Classic TT races were ridden by pensioners. Even the still very fast Nick Jefferies is knocking-on 65yrs old!
A makeshift repair that can last for many months, is to cut off a few thin strands of high-tensile wire from an old brake cable or similar. Align...
A little tip for others with 'leaking' fork seals. Before stripping the forks, try pushing a very thin feeler between the seal and the fork...
Also, be sure not to overlook the starter solenoid in your checks. With the engine running, feel it to see if it's becoming hot to the touch. If...
Hi Toni. Just for your information, and to explain why it's white/red: I tried one of these in black/white originally, and whilst it was a better...
Hi Kan'ichirÅ I had this happen to my 5th gen just a couple of days ago. It had been standing unused, too. The first thing I checked was the...
Hi Towpillah, welcome to the forum. Nice looking VFR. That seat looks a lot more comfy than the stock seat on my 800! How about this...
An RC30 was sold separately for $100,000+ a month ago at auction. It was essentially a new bike. Another one, with a few thousand miles on it,...
"On a less than 2 mile winding test circuit, the VFR1200F recorded a lap 13 seconds faster than an RC30 and that is a HUGE margin." Any more...
Could it be a slack spot in the chain? If you run the bike up to 3,000rpm in third on its mainstand, you may be able to isolate the cause.
I've had four sports Ducatis in the time I've owned my RC30 (13yrs) - and they've all come and gone. None could hold a candle to it on the...
Electricity is the future, and HD seem to be ambracing it come what may. There appears to be a great deal of optimism:...
In effect, fitting these has served to reduce the weight on my wrists, since I've run the bike for the last year with the yokes - and the 'bars -...
Slight correction to the above: The forks aren't raised 20mm through the yokes. They're raised maybe 14mm. (..the 20mm measurement refers to...
Hi chaps. I've seen a number of posts on here regarding bar risers for the 5th gen VFR. I wanted to try these on my own bike, but didn't wish to...
I'd agree. The VFR nuts appear to have the less conventional (45 degree) seat. I once unintentionally used 60 degree lug nuts on car wheels with...
Yes, but that would be like hankering for an RC30! In truth, it's the differences that please me. I returned from the Classic TT last Tuesday...
