just noticed some "blowing" from around the front left cylinder exhaust header pipe - close to where the exhaust connects to the engine. Is it...
Lots to consider now armed with some good gen from the forum! Thanks for all your responses
can't speak about the metz, but put PR4s on and have found them very good. Michelin say the handing on PR4s is more netural than PR3s.
Corner around 5k to 7k - so need to be running it higher I think. How does the gyro effect of the crank help handling btw? Just curious.
Great pics btw. I aspire to such lean angles! Are the shims easy to come by (ie any particular shims recommended for the VFR?) and are there...
impressive upgrades! to increase the ground clearance and drop the front slightly, (with the standard shock) would winding on a couple clicks...
Had a look on Jamie's website. Will just the rear (929) shock alone be ok, or would I need to do both the shocks and forks to make a noticable...
Took my Gen 5 for a run (in a very novice group) around a local track. It was great fun, but I felt like I was having to work really hard in the...
I'd agree. Got that same seat for my '99 VFR (profile pic is from before I got the Sargent). The stock seat would give me problems after about...
just noticed a high'ish-frequency buzzing vibration through the footpegs of my 5th gen. It happens around 4k RPM and when higher up the rev...
Recently had my first outing on a track on my much loved 5th Gen (at Cadwell Park, UK) as part of a road safety course. I was suprised at how...
Just got a 2-part sargent seat last week. Thinking of fitting the rear-cowl in place of the rear seat, but if I do, I can't see what there is to...
Just bought an abus one (i think the 430). Fits fine. Only issue is that the alarm is not very sensitlve, which is probably a good thing in...
if it's any reassurance, I have exactly the same characteristic on my VFR (14k miles, '99). Smooth changes when the oil is cold, clunky as the...
Interesting question. I test rode a 2014 Ninja before getting my current bike; I thought it was going to be the 'right' bike - based on its...
I have had the same problem in my '99 VFR. it only occurs every now and again (less than 10% of the time - so doubt it is the discs or it would...
I've started to use the stuff from these guys: http://ptlube.co.uk/ A small UK company. been happy so far and some good info on the site....
I've not had the bike long and noticed the coolant in the expansion tank was a little low. Took off the fairings to refill it, and noticed that...
I never even knew there was a difference - something new to learn every day... Just ordered a JIS screwdriver.! plan of attack: soak for 48...
Was hoping to change the air filter today, but 4 of the screws in the airbox (Fi 800) are quite corroded and don't seem to want to budge....
