It's your money. For mine, I'd be buying Dunlops for one pretty simple reason - when they begin to lose traction (which all tires eventually do)...
Dunno why you guys are so down on the Dunlop 220's, other than that they haven't been produced in many years (which means they are OLD tires - a...
I had the good fortune to borrow a friend's pre-VTEC VFR800 down in AZ, and it is certainly an easy bike to ride fast. Even hit the limiter in top...
Today's progress... There's a bit more on the blog; but here's the short version... CARBS: Sea Foam has already improved the throttle...
I knew the KR was heavy; but guess I didn't realize it was that heavy. I know for me Loudon would be more fun; but some prefer a short...
Not ready yet to stand corrected, I'll see if I can dig up that 10.8x report. 11.65 sounds positively slow when the '83 VF750F was in the high...
Thanks, I think I got a reasonable bargain on the bike. Nothing so far suggests otherwise. Hmmm... tests back in the day had the KR running...
Actually, what I want more than anything is to restore the bike into perfect operating condition and ride it. I'm really looking forward to that...
Blog page is here: The Vikki Project « foothillryder There are some pics there now, and I'll post more as things move forward. Those...
Thanks creaky. If my regime doesn't solve it in short order I'll give Seafoam a go. I'd heard that one before, and yes, the KR has a fuel pump....
Okay, Introduced myself and met some guys around the forum. I took delivery of my '86 VF1000R and found a number of areas for improvement: 1....
Actually not a terrible idea Captb. They are designed 'that way' so that they don't break off if they get bumped; but I agree they look f'kd up...
I didn't have any trouble getting access to what was there, trailers and such. I'm sure it's a fantastic film, can't wait to see it!
I stand corrected. Geez, they were ahead of the game, eh? :D
Of course it may depend upon where your path would be; but I'm with the other guys here - if you're going to go there anyway, just plan on riding...
Almost anything other than a fuel related issue would be worse at higher RPM than this sounds. I'm not an expert either; but the thing about carbs...
Hell, even the 'new' Triumph Bonneville models are dead easy to work on in comparison with my VFKR or my 14-year old Trophy 3. I must say tho,...
Welcome! Take some classes, learn your skills, condition your reflexes, and practice. Stay safe out there!
Fair enough; but Rossi is only doing what he believes will put him back on the podium, bat shit or otherwise. I don't think he *needs* an...
I believe I hit the point rather precisely, and I think the data speaks for itself - there is no 'ideal stature'. Talent wins.
