True story: You know you are getting old when my wife and I were visiting my parents at their assisted living community and we were stopped by one...
I am right there with ya. My wife got tired of shouting at me so now i am a hearing aid wearer. I do not wear mine inside my helmet (that just...
Around here I think you could easily get $4700 for a RWB 6th gen. There are always a ton of bikes on CL but there is that one person that wants yours.
Ride it. Change oil and filter in 2000 miles or so. It's not so much what oil you use as it is to use clean oil. Also filters are cheap, engines...
I just saw this post and wanted to comment. The VFRR1200 bottom end in question looked very much like the one in my VTR1000. It spun a bearing....
After putting a few good miles on the VFR in +90 degree weather I have found that 1) The engine warms quicker with the new t-stat. 2) It holds a...
I ordered the cheap knockoff Chinese levers with the cam lever adjusters. They look just like this. They don't fit. I am going to buy a...
Will it start at all now or is it just unrideable? Does it miss under load or at idle?
It is the best bike i have ever owned. The only thing my VFR balks at is the off road rough stuff. It's just not much of a dirt bike.

I would LS if the vehicle traffic was at or near an standstill. Otherwise there are too many variables all of which are a no win situation for a...

Don't you think there is a difference between "filtering" with traffic stopped and bikes moving to the front and lane splitting with bike zipping...
A very long phillips head screw driver in on my shopping list but it might be like a number of tool in my box, a one trick pony. Does anyone else...
That's exactly what I was thinking. If I had a phillips head screwdrive long enough to do the job I would have to drill a hole in the side of my...
Expensive? I was thinking of wrapping a part of the VTR.
I put the finishing touches on the VFR Thermostat replacment project this morning. I also did a chain PM and adjustment plus I changed the oil....
It took two bike projects including the VTR rebuild to finally get up the courage to tackle this thermostat!
For all of you 5th Gen owners this is for you. Sooner or later you will have to replace a sticking or stuck thermostat. It’s just inevitable. This...
LOL, I am actually getting better at it. It would help if I had the hand of a child but there is a technique that requires everything to be...
