Thank you all for the ideas. I'm gonna grab some black pipe and use my existing stand to get the rear of it up.
I've been using 6th gear now on the highway and keeping it around 4-5K RPMs. Fuel economy for the last couple fuel-ups was a little under 31 MPG....
Wow, that's dismal. I'm very surprised. I'm not really worried about getting good fuel economy, I guess... I'm just surprised it's so awful. I...
The tires are in excellent condition. Inflating them to proper pressure was the first thing I did when I brought the VFR to its new home. The VFR...
Thanks Rollin, that's all I needed to hear. Maybe I'll wrap the exhaust... the heat is pretty annoying when it's 90 degrees out. I do ride all...
It doesn't seem to matter. I do a lot of highway riding and notice it frequently around 70 MPH, but it happens at slower speeds, as well. Would...
I suppose I could wrap it; I figured there was something wrong w/ the bike. Since it seems to be eating through gas, I thought maybe the two were...
I've been riding my VFR around for a while now. I've noticed that the air coming up from my exhaust is quite hot, even for an exhaust; it's hot...
How can I get the rear of my 3rd gen off the ground? There doesn't seem to be any way to jack it up from below. Is the best way to remove the rear...
I noticed my bike was a bit loud when I bought it second hand. One of the previous owners decided it would be a good idea to remove the baffles....
It was at the maximum tightness, but that's coincidental. I was trying to turn it in the correct direction (counterclockwise, to loosen it)....
I bought a spanner wrench. It fits in such a way that it'll turn clockwise (to tighten) but not counterclockwise. Subsequently, I ordered the...
Oh good god, I hope the chain adjustment isn't always this horrible. Is there a trick to adjusting the chain tension? I just bought a two sided...
After two rides, I can already tell this is going to be an awesome bike. It's just what I wanted: something comfortable and sporty with good...
Thanks for confirming the problem. I'll order them right now.
According to ronayers.com, they take the same rotor.
I just bought a 3rd gen VFR. The rear brakes seem to have little power and they get the rotor very hot. I noticed the rotor is slightly warped...
$1200. The owner was originally asking $2200 and his best offer was $1000 (don't know why he told me that). After I told him the bike was only...
Here are a few more. The lighting and the camera are kinda crap, though. There are a couple places where the Plastifix is obvious, but overall...
These photos are courtesy of the current owner. He decided to paint it matte black when he repaired the fairings. I've never painted a bike...
