Was this a 90° crossing, or angled a bit? You may have caught the front tire in a groove. Sounds scary.
If this is your first bike and first good helmet then get thee to a shop and try on helmets. New buyers of full face helmets tend to buy a helmet...
You hit it the first time: availability of quality tires. Not a VFR but I changed out the 16" wheels on my FJ1200 for 17" wheels. I've noticed...
I have the Yoshi SS2R on my '99 and it was fine. I did put a PC on it but it really wasn't all that necessary. It did smooth out the off idle...
I never skip a gear on upshifting, just too much fun. I will skip a gear or two downshifting, but not up.
A lot can depend on how tall and/or athletic you are. The VFR is pretty tall and a lot of weight is up high, especially with a full tank of fuel....
If the Alpinestars are comfy then the Sidi's may be too narrow. I have a pair of the Alpinestars Net Air and they fit just fine, but the Sidi...
Most are off by more than 5% IMO.
Rust??!! That would make me really unhappy.
I bit the bullet last year and bought the Marc Parnes balancer and I must say it works wonderfully well. A pure pleasure to use. FWIW I...
I've got the Galfer kit down in the garage, but haven't nerved myself up for the PIA bleeding I know will result from replacing all lines. I got...
Got my levers, the black shorties with red adjusters, yesterday and installed them. They look great and feel like they will work just fine. I...
Ditto, I've been dithering about getting some of these for a year or two, and finally bit the bullet and ordered them today. Heck, they cost less...
Yeah, me too. Weak moments happen to us all. :tongue:
Way too much really. :rolleyes: $52 delivered. Doesn't make a lot of sense: I'll complain about the cost of stuff, and then pay an outrageous...
Thanks, not as much of an eye-catcher as yours though. :cheersaf:
Nothing special, just put on the center plug from Thurn. Thought it looked cool and wanted to share. :horn: [ATTACH]
Ditto here, I had no issues reusing everything that came off. I bought no new gaskets or O-rings.
I did my '99 at 30,000 miles and didn't replace any gaskets, and didn't replace any at the 16,000 mile mark either. Is the '98 different? The...
Nah, just thinking differently. :biggrin:
Separate names with a comma.
