I just wanted to thank all those who share their VFR knowledge. I'm pretty mechanically inclined but have very limited experience on bikes. Reading through the various threads and and step-by-step walk throughs gave me the confidence to change out the oil, coolant, brake and clutch fluids - all of which I should have done before putting the bike away last year, but better late than never. New tires going on next week (at a shop - no tools to do that one). New chain and sprockets will be ordered in the next couple of days. See you on the road. Ride safe. S.
