Previous to yesterday, I had only ridden the VFR approx 140 miles. Then the winter set in, so I took it all apart, and made sure the maintenence...
It was 40ish down here in missouri, I also couldn't resist, got both of my "modern" bikes out. Lots of the grassy areas still snow covered, but...
It hit 40ish degrees today so I got to take a ride. Last night I pulled the Battery out of the ZRX, and put it on my 1 amp charger. About 2 pm...
I haven't had the opportunity to ride since Dec 15th or so. Tommorrow is predicted to be low 40's. I'm riding for sure. Probably leave the VFR...
Get's expensive having three, but having said that (I've had as many as 9, now just 3) I find the best part of three bikes is this. Almost any...
I had an '86 500 Interceptor, and It would hang with (not pass) my '78 Ducati 900 SD (super Darmah). The Ducati had Jerry Branch flowed Heads,...
It's in the high 20's, with a new storm coming for this weekend, then an "artic blast" for next week. Been a pretty rough winter this year, but...
Well, my new to me 1999 VFR (red) is pretty well done. Just have to install the fairing lowers and the exhaust can, and she's ready to roll. All...
Not as bad as i thought, thanks to mighty vac. The existing brake fluid was as brown as coffee, looked like the original and this bike is a '99....
What a timely thread! I stopped just short of the brake bleed portion of my complete fluid change on my '99. Vavle's checked, K & N recharged, oil...
P.S. All brake pads look new, and it already had a K & N air filter! Plus the fork tubes are already dropped 10mm. The filters clean & dry now and...
Well, after having all the body work, including tank off my 5th gen, I checked the valves and all are well within spec. Still I feel better about...
I've removed all the bodywork off my '99 (glad I bought the shop manual) and am now poised to remove the tank, which calls for it to be turned...
I'm only comparing them for my own sake really, and just trying to take others along for the ride, so to speak. I'm aware of the VRF's roots &...
My son started riding at age 8, raced hare scrambles until age 16. At 19 years old I started to teach him to ride on the street............on the...
Well, after having ridden the new to me VFR 150 miles or so over 4 rides, last Sunday I took out the VFR, and then returned home and hopped on the...
Well, today was my day off,and although the overnight temp was 9 degrees, it was 48 about noon. I took off on dry roads this time, but gave the...
Thanks guys, I appreciate the quick response!!
Mostly, what is the "cure" for the 5th gen rectifier issue, is there a factory fix kit? I will soon have the bodywork off for a complete detail &...
Aired the tires to spec about 4 minutes b-4 the ride, 42 rear, 36 front. I wasn't confident in the availible traction, so no real hard inputs...
