sorry to disappear on this thread like a ghost... so I've tested the volts from the stator when the bike is hot, I've tried loading things up...
My only thing with that is I tested the battery at the battery plus store, it's kinda all they do is batteries. That and I bought the battery...
I took the battery to a battery place and they load tested it and it's fine, CCA is above what it's rated, volts are good too. Now one thing that...
ok i went and did a video/2nd test. I hooked the volt meter up to the battery, at first is idle then I rev it up to roughly 4K rpm's. [MEDIA]
Tests done so far. I did a diode test of the rectifier I get current one direction and not the other on each set of wires (good). I tested the...
So my 98 VFR only has 15K miles on it, and I put the last 2.5K on it this year. The battery is less then a year old, I noticed something odd...
thx for the replies everyone! I do admit I am fully that guy that fixes everything because I don't like to pay someone to do something that I...
so I did finally check things and my rotor was in fact warped. local shop(s) that i checked no one would straighten a rotor and i was kinda...
So i have some faint pulsing from the front brakes. Mechanic says it's a warped rotor, though he didn't put a gauge on it. I assume you just...
i know it's weird, the groin strain. It's possible i had over used it playing hockey, didn't realize it and the ride just put it over the edge...
So I got my 5th gen in the fall of last year. I've put roughly 1.5K miles on it since then but probably the longest saddle time at once was maybe...
depends on how often you are in need of a trailer and your intended purpose. just something to keep in mind. U-haul it costs $15/day unlimited...
I love my 5th gen. Is it heavy compared to the newer bikes? yup. but my first bike that i learned on was a yamaha 850 special, that bike was a...
personally. i love my 5th gen and if you are in the market for a vfr and going used it might worth just seeing if one with reasonable miles is...
yea i'd concur that you need to get a quote at least. more information to make your decision is always better. thing is uhaul kills you with...
well that does put a wrinkle in that idea ;) you're probably better off using one of the suggestions for a bike hauler. unless you have a...
i'll take your word for it but it doesn't take much of a vehicle to be able to tow a motorcycle trailer from u-haul. They rent those for $15 a...
thx everyone purchased one off @comradeQuestion who was great to work with on this.
curious, so labor cost wise, at what point would you say nah, i'll just let a mechanic do this? I got a quote for $80 to do brakes and clutch....
Looking for a givi d200s windshield for 98 vfr. PM me if you have/selling such a thing. tx
