+1 on Proficient motorcycling. Great read
The VFR is fairly docile compared to a lot of other "sporty" bikes. I think you would be good moving up form the 250, the weight will feel really...
Sounds to me like the cable is shot, If the nut is tight that keeps it from backing out, and it still loosens up when you ride.
Shit, well I guess I'll be bleeding the brakes. Is there anything special with this linked braking deal?
So now I'm pretty positive I have a front brake issue, When I pull the lever, there is very little resistance, and pretty much no braking happens...
Come to think of it I was probably in 3rd gear. Going pretty quick, set my lean and started getting on the throttle. It was so hard I thought I...
25 and ride a 2002 VFR800. I was the only younger guy on my last ride with a sport touring bike, but my wrists weren't killing me 3 hours later...
I have read that people complained about the abruptness of the VTEC kick in on the earlier models, well how abrupt should I expect it to be? Today...
Nice. I'm considering maybe doing my side fairings either white or black. So I get a white/red or red/black color scheme. As cheap as it is I may...
Hmm. I would love to spray my bike white.....So you could promise it wouldn't eff up the paint underneath when peeling off?
That's awesome! You think Harley would do that if their motor blew up. LOL
Great info. I appreciate all the help. I'll post some pics when I get in there for anyone else's future reference.
Thanks a lot man. That makes sense to me. I think I'll just hold out until my oil change in another 1k miles and inspect it then. Would it be OK...
^^^ yeah it sounds like the starter clutch possibly then. There are no pops, when I hold the button down I get one quick crank then a whirring...
I guess it could be a weak starter motor. It's just really strange that after a few seconds it will start up fine.
It doesn't do it after riding, only right after being taken off the tender, thats what is so weird. She starts fine every other time
So I've only noticed this happening right after I take the bike off the battery tender. I turn the key the FI light does it's thing, then I hit...
I understand how the linked brake works and it's main purpose in a panic stop situation. Most of the time I only use the front brake, unless going...
thanks dude! I missed that thread. I PM'd him, hopefully he's still got them.
I can't cut into mine since I have no idea how to weld. Does anyone have a set laying around that is already gutted the would sell? I got lucky...
