The moderators here are a joke. They don't do anything nor do they ever respond to any emails. Without good moderators this forum is going down...
I had some strange things going on with the paint on the front wheel. I used an etch primer on the metal, sanded, applied gloss white, then gloss...
An update, my machinist finally got the top of my steering stem back to normal. Took 2 weeks, but only charged $20, so it's cool. I looked into...
The model number stamped on our regulators starts with S as in SH593-12. The S means shunt design. These are crap units that run hot and fail....
Hey, a little update. If you recall my bike has always had a frontend shake while decelerating with no hands on the bars. Plus it always felt...
I thought I simplified it. :redface:
I'm sorry, I wasn't refering to 2 different springs, I was refering to a single spring of the same diameter wire it's full length being wound with...
Okay, that size should be 24.62" diameter. If your measuring your stock tire diameter, make sure to measure from side to side, not up and down....
Come on, that's virtually impossible. Wouldn't that defy basic physics? The only way that the 2 sections could bind simultaneously is if the...
It might be enough. What rear tire sizes are you coming from and going to? If you have the stock shock or another one that is not adjustable you...
That .49 spring rate must be the softer part of the progressive spring. I bet once that section coil binds, the rate goes up. To what, I don't know.
How did you determine you aren't bottoming out in front? Is this a reply to the other thread about rear tire heights? You can go to tire company...
The stock 130/80/18 rear tire is 26.5" tall. A modern 17" rear tire tends to run 24.5"-25". So the difference in diameter is between 1.5" and 2"....
The stock 86/87 VFR700's have front springs in the .55-.60 range (I think it's kilograms per millimeter) which everyone says is correct, if you...
That looks like it only fits the early 1st gen engines. My bike is an 86 VFR700 with the 2nd gen V4 engine. Besides, I thought people just...
Here is the stock C clip. It's a safety device to make sure the stem doesn't pull through the lower tree. [IMG] The clip presses against this...
Here is a shot of the stock bikes steering stem. You can see that you want the other steering stems threads to be above the top bearing. [IMG]...
