I checked my cases and when the handle passes over the key, I have at least 1/8" of clearance. Is the cylinder flush with the case?
With the OEM bags, you have to lift the handle in order to release the latch. Technically, the handle does not have to pass over the key, but it...
The FJR is a nice bike. Have you considered the Kawasaki Concours?
Rollin - Just out of curiosity, have you added a PC to the bike? I have a PCV on mine and it really does make a difference. I see your logic for...
That's exactly the workflow I use as well. I've never checked to see how much clearance there is, but I've never clipped the key with the latch...
That's the post. Thanks for digging it up.
Rollin - I'm not sure why you're directing your post at me as my comment was not in direct response to your post, otherwise I would have quoted...
I think the VTEC is purely a carryover from the car division and Honda figured that it works in the cars, so why not in the bikes? I've owned a...
$2K is a steal for the condition and it even has the stock exhaust. You could easily turn around and double your money. I had a mint '86 with...
Do some research on the 2012. From what I understand, the issues with the 2010 have been resolved. If I was buying one, it would be a 2012.
A few months back, there was somebody on here who did a carbon fiber wrap on their VFR1200. It looked great. I'll post up the link if I can find it.
I would say you qualify. Very nice bike. You don't see many like that in that kind of shape.
That is exactly why I've got to believe that the maps are specific to E10 or non-ethanol fuel.
Thanks for posting this. As skimad4x4 has said, I have never seen a 6th Gen that had their first valve check out of spec. For that reason, I'm...
I don't know if I notice the wind resistance, but I definitely notice the weight when they're loaded. As far as speed goes, those cases are...
Understood. Even though you don't have it any more, you were fortunate then. There have been a number of threads lately where people are looking...
CRFan1 - Do you know anybody who has a 6th Gen that will let you take it for a spin so that you can come to an educated decision based on what you...
The RWB is almost as rare as his yellow 5th Gen. Of course they made thousands, but compared to the shear number of VFRs out there, especially in...
First of all, congratulations on the new bike. At 3350 miles, you're barely broken in. The RWB definitely turns heads. I used to have a CW...
87 octane is fine. I run non-ethanol fuel only. In addition to avoiding the problems pointed out by skimad4x4, you will also better fuel...
