Have room for another vfr fan?

Hey all, speaking of avatars, I do have an idea for mine. Just dont know how yet. I am pretty much computer illiterate. It'll come with time. Thanks again for your responses!! EVvy

 

Hey EVvy...how are you breaking in that bad boy? My red VFR is about as young as yours and I am interested in comparing notes on your ideas.

 

Nungboy, I know what you mean there. I now have just over 3000 miles on it so my initial breakin is pretty much done. But I really stewed over this myself. There is alot of various info out there to consider. I was told to beat the hell out of it by some and to follow the owners manual rec's by others. As you know our manuals are pretty vague!! If I remember correctly it says to avoid full throttle acceleration for the first 500 miles - that is it. So that is about all I did. I'd ride around a bit to get the temp up, and by all means I would accelerate kinda hard once in a while, never FULL throttle, but certainly through v-tec mode and beyond, a couple hundred rpms short of red line for sure. Also, I commute alot, so I constantly would vary speeds and gears that I ran in. For example, at 55-60mph, I would vary between 5th and 6th, sometimes even 4th for a while. At 500 miles I got the oil changed and everything seems to be real good. That is the best I could muster, I hope it helps ya out a bit!! EVvy

 

Excellent! Thanks. I have many less miles (about 300) so it helps to hear your choices. I agree...that manual is so vague. You make good sense. I haven't been past about 8000 yet. Sure is FUN so far! THANKS!!!
