Sorry to hear you're hanging it up, but it's your decision to make. Congrats on the baby-boy, kids are waaaay more fun than anyone ever seems to...
Congrats to you then too. ...pics??? :)
Seemedo, I have the full set, though the back-pad is on back-order. lol dublflush, it's fairly similar in riding to the 5th gen, though I was...
Thanks guys! ...and T.C., I might just have to do that. Lots of great roads between Malibu and Sac-Town. :)
Well, Saturday I pulled the trigger! Rode in on a '99 VFR800fi, rode out on a '10 VFR1200F. :) In my limited time since yesterday afternoon...
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! :) I hope you get your ride in and have a great time. Just let me know if you have any questions, I'll do my best...
Well, if it's got 40-50k miles and it takes "minutes" for the sound to go away, then it sounds like you are WAY overdue for a valve adjustment!!!...

Hey vfrbart, what settings does your manual have for the starter valve sync? I did that with the same results and only after a buddy of mine...
Well, things just keep on getting stranger with this bike. lol Tore into the electrical again, jumping the test connector to recheck the error...
Just an update, since I've been really slow getting things taken care of. I cured the backfiring issue and the bike now purrs like a kitten, but...
Unfortunately, not yet. I replaced the MAP sensor (a $250 part) because that's what the code (1 flash) indicated was the issue. ...since that...
Haha. Actually, a buddy of mine has a VFR engine sitting in his garage, so I'm going to go over this weekend and nick the MAP sensor off it and...
