Hi PA. I got my suspension customised and the problem went away for speeds where I need either no brakes or front trail braking (see an earlier...
Ah, roundabouts... They're not the most pleasant things with linked brakes. All you want to do is moderate the snappy throttle with a bit of rear...
I have the same wife noise too. The way I fix it is to stick in some earplugs, put on my helmet and yell "What? I can't hear you. I've got...
Hello again everyone. The bike has come back from the suspension specialist. Because I now have linear rate springs with a stiffer rate than...
I dunno how many horespower it would be, but I parked my bike up the bush for a couple of days, and when I went back to get it, it had a thousand...
I know what you mean... My bike has been at the suspension workshop, waiting for parts since Christmas Eve... Apparently, the snap-frozen...
Hmmm... Note to self: Don't mention linked brakes unless I want to witness an argument... One thing's certain: my observation about there being...
Hi Metallican, Thanks for the advice. It sounds like I'll have to find some loose gravel a bit closer to home, so I can get some practice, so I...
So Reg still uses VFRs for CLASS? I'm impressed! When I saw photo's of him on a Viffer everywhere in his book, I thought "if a VFR's good enough...
PS: please read the last sentence in my post above with a sense of humor... I know that going into a corner too hot deliberately would be slightly...
Hi guys. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've been meaning to get back onto VFRWorld for weeks, but between work and chores that the...
Thanks for the link to Mello's brake delinking project. I've only had the VFR for a couple of months, so perhaps I'll get used to the strange...
Thanks for the advice, but the linked brakes are horrible for anything more than doddling around (even then, small roundabouts are always horrible...
Hi guys and gals. I hate the linked brakes on the 5th gen. Because I can't feather the rear without the front coming on (and sending me wide in...
Hello again everyone. Thanks for the good info. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you all with the results of the fuel economy checks... I...
Eurika! I figured out that there was something lost when Honda translated the service manual into English (I'll give them the benefit of the...
Hello all, My '98 Viffer has been using a heck of a lot of fuel (22 MPG - imperial gaallons, 12.4 L/100km, 17.6 MPG - US gallons, 8.1 km/L -...
Hi Cogswell, Thanks for the info. It sounds like what happened when I bought myZZR250 from a friend, pulled it apart, put it into the back of...
Thanks for the replies. It would be nice to say that a FJR or a Beemer would do, but they're not Viffers... I could get a CB400 with ABS, but it's...
Hello everyone. I'd like to get a VFR800 with ABS (for the added safety). The trouble is that Honda has never brought the bike into Australia...
