Best compromise between traction (especially cold/wet) and mileage that I've found so far is the Michelin Pilot Road. HTH, Jake
What year is your friend's bike... Back when the 1998 VFR 800 came out, Motorcycle Consumer News braking tests pegged it at under 108 feet from 60...
Mine does too. When the blinker is going, the marker element is turned off I guess. In any case, it still works fine. I have to lean forward a...
The pic is a little gritty and the lighting is bad because I just went out and took it with my cell phone in the parking lot... But here you go:...
I ordered the Lascar EMV 1200 on this page: http://www.alliedelec.com/catalog/pf.asp?FN=945.pdf It measures 4-25 volts, is splash-proof, and...
Sounds like the textbook precursor to Regulator/Rectifier failure. Pretty common VFR ailment. HTH, Jake
First, inspect the fan/shroud assembly and make sure you didn't get a rock or twig in there that stopped the fan. (Sounds funny, I know, but you'd...
Landing alot of hard wheelies can wear out your steering head bearings which can lead to the high-speed wobble you describe. (Steering head...
Changing your oil and filter is easy. You didn't say what year yours was, but on my '98 its as simple as pulling the left side lower fairing,...
Well, here it is two seasons later and the R/R on my '98 is still going strong. I connected a digital voltmeter to the marker light circuit so I...
None on mine, but it's a Gen 5. I've never heard of that particular problem with newer VFRs either tho... My old CBR600F3 used to buzz like...
Sounds like a classic case of a sticking thermostat. Cheap part, but I've heard they can be a major PITA to get at. If you aren't already using a...
Find a screen off a wrecked bike on eBay or something. $325 is highway robbery for just an LCD screen. Not sure how the whole thing goes together,...
Rumblefish is right. 99 VFRs have linked brakes, but not ABS. ABS was not offered as an option until the Gen 6 (Vtec) VFRs came out in 2002....
I've got the Yellow Box. You can fab plug ends for plug n play if you don't want to hack your wires. (Skipper did a writeup on st.net if you're...
I've got the micron low-mount. Hight quality, sounds awesome, not too loud, looks great... Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Jake
Moving out of New Jersey would probably help... File the police report. Watch the local classifieds. Sorry to hear about your loss. :( Good...
Re: Oops VifferChic is right. Those temps do sound a bit high. The combination of high-flow pipe and filter could be causing the engine to run...
You sound like you have some experience then... Just treat the bike with respect and ride like a mature adult (at least until you get the hang of...
While a VFR is a great bike, it doesn't exactly make the best "learner's" bike... They're coated with very expensive plastic that breaks...
