Same thing with my '10. The previous owner bought it "brand new" with only a couple of miles on the clock and had it for less than a year. The...
No biggie. We are all free to do whatever we feel is the right thing to do. Just like for me personally, I am not changing the FD oil on every...
No one would argue the legality of HID conversions. Of course they are illegal. So are most of the aftermarket exhaust systems when used on the...
FWIW, that weblog changed the FD oil on the centerstand: "2. Remove the drain bolt and drain the old oil out. Roll the bike back and forth a few...
The final drive lubricates by partial gear immersion and splash lubrication. There is no dynamic pressure variation like in an engine crankcase...
Ergos is a very difficult thing to predict. Short of actually doing the mod and going for a long long ride, it is not always easy to tell if you...
I drained and refilled all on centerstand. I think the manual says to drain on sidestand mostly to avoid getting the oil on the rear tire. The...
LSL Handlebar conversion is probably the next step up: Spiegler Performance Parts - Handlebar Conversion Kit If that's not enough, then you...
Befbever, I believe you are right. Here's the front end of my '08 RSVR1000R Factory with the same quality rotors and hardware. The original...
I have to agree on the ABS ring made of plain stamped steel is pitiful. IMHO, anything on the wheel rotating assembly and near the wheel hubs...
Shouldn't that be Brit or Briton?:cool:
Even stainless steel hardware will rust given enough salt and water exposure. We do subsea equipment at work and even though the equipment is all...
I, for one, am glad to hear an FJR rider saying it isn't sporty enough for them. I've always had high regards for the FJR, and so it was a...
Understand the hesitation on plucking down 10G without a good long test ride. Unfortunately, dealers are just as hesitant to let you slice and...
DD's pic is about what mine looks like at 2k miles. I spooned them off not long after I got the Viffer.
I am starting to suspect OEM tires are not exactly the same as aftermarket replacement tires with the same designation (BT-021, etc.). I bought...
+1 on the service manual. I actually got two. The local Honda dealer, where I bought a lot of stuff from, had 1 each for the DCT and non-DCT '10...
That's great. Post some pics of the install and the beam pattern once you are done. I've already bought the bixenon kit: Bi-xenon: Morimoto...
Great riding impression on both bikes. I like the CB1000R, which in many ways is another "in-between" bike like the VFR1200. Designed and built...
Dave, Great install review! Wish everybody is as description as you are. Pics? We can't get enough of pics! Can looks great with the Givi...
