I put a bit of Anti-seize on the threads of spark plugs. It goes in & comes out much easier. I also use this stuff on axles. This allows them...
I'm kind of open minded about riding gear. For me it has to work properly in terms of protection, fit, function (like some ventilation and jacket...
Yup. I'll stay away from the Aluminums. I put one of these in a prior motorcycle and it seemed to last over 20k miles. But I kept it well...
My VFR's chain is stretched. I keep having to adjust it on every other ride or so and it looks to be near its service limit. I'm either going...
Scubalong, how do you figure $50? Both labor and parts? You have my attention. :wink: The HID bulbs at Cycle Gear are $50 on sale right now....
Yup. Weak battery will result in weak starting. Glad to know you got it figured out. These later VFR's are quite reliable.
I owned an '01 and now an '07. Neither had any electrical faults. But some bikes, maybe the earlier versions of the 5th/6th Gens had some...
Thanks Duccmann. I believe my local Cycle Gear store has those. I will give those a try. Yeah those Honda fasteners were not cheap and I...
Oh yeah I forgot. I ended up buying a new air filter anyway. Yes. A few bugs made their way into the old filter. OOTVS, I think I may just...
This one. I've done this on my previous 5th gen (it was lowsided by a previous owner). I got it relatively cheap. But after I bought her and...
So today I did just a simple oil change on my VFR. When I removed the left fairing, all kinds of crud fell out from inside the fairing. Then I...
While I like the look of most of the VFR's, and I also like the look of the 5th gen. The 6th gen looks very contemporary. The 5th Gen looks...
I felt the difference right away, especially when I pushed it in the corners pretty hard. Maybe it was just the suspenders on the 6th gen that...
One of the things that changed from 5th to 6th is the frame. The 6th gen was given a stouter frame AND heavier subframe in order to handle the...
I have nothing to contribute to this thread except to say, I can feel a lot of love among VFR owners in here. :wink: BTW, Rainman that is one...
I'm like Cyborg with my VFR. Go with whatever comfort level you have as these bikes in general are bulletproof. OTOH, if you want 100k + miles...
If my previous experience with my '01 holds true with your 1995, then my suggestion is to first: figure out what your preferred riding style is...
I had mine checked at Mac 1 (Costa Mesa, CA) at 16k. I think it needed two valves adjusted. At that time I also had the Starter Valves...
Oh yeah the Renaissance Fair. Lots of hotties and lovely wenches. :) I already have a very nice loop that hits Hwy 33 and a few others up...
Glad to hear you had a great ride while I was inside the office working. :tongue: Love your Avatar.
