what did you do to your vfr today?

I couldn't afford the valve adjustments!

 

Rode 250 km through the rapidly drying up country side.
Then did an oil change on my riding mates old R80 BMW.

 

Got the heated grip things from ebay... the cheap $3 ones that go on top the grips. For that investment I will try them.

 

Michelin Pilot Road 4s. :glee:

 

Yep, they're great aren't they?

 

Yes indeed. Nothing that lasts as long as PRs has any right to grip like they do, especially in the wet (default setting for UK in December!).

 

Awesome!

Last Saturday I replaced the right front turn signal lens and housing. During my return ride from Barber it just fell off at some point due to a fall by the PO. Like an idiot I removed the right fairing so I could get behind it and once I had it out noticed that the design allowed for its removal and replacement without dissembling the fairing. Using this knowledge I reset the other light that had been knocked askew by a fall perpetrated by myself.

 

Took off rear shock for a rebuild, linkage bushes stripped out for checking and a re-grease as ride was a bit harsh and no spare cash for an aftermarket shock. So a rebuild it is!!!. Also put some heated grips on as i like to ride on those cold but clear winter days. Hopefully my bike dosent become one of those "garage queens" Have a great Christmas holiday all.:snowman::snowman:

 

Just call me lazy....haven't looked at my service manual 6 gen. ......is there any grease zirts or any way to lube the chassis. .
Swing arm, shock ect...? Without dismantling. .?
Hope I don't get tarred and feathered for this....

 

5th gen you have to dismantle to grease up the linkage bearings etc 6gen same swingarm im only a 5 out of 10 spanner monkey so maybe the same set up .Doing mine as i have the opportunity whilst shocks out. 24000 miles now but in the uk it likes to rain alot!!! And mostly on me and machine alike .!!!

 

^have one of those "garage-queens" it used to be battle scared and a daily commuter. Now its clean as a whistle and gets a yearly synthentic oil change. It actcually is a "lift-queen" as it sits on my air work table when I am not turning a spanner.

Wish they used zerk fittings on hondas like the old Kawasakis did. Makes too much sense and cost a little money, so lets not give it to the customer. :loco:

My 93 will get its 2000 mile synthetic oil change this week Nice pictures Pauperman, thanks for sharing. Cheers Would never tar-n-feather anyone, just buy and read the goddamn book! All the answers can be found there more than likely.

 

Ahhhhhh....thanks...

 

South Florida eh!Nice! Im east Essex near London winter time rain rain grit on the roads mud etc etc try to keep her clean as poss,oil and filter done every 2000 same, not had her long its a keeper tho! was after a 96-97-750 but couldnt find a nice one at a good price still looking tho!....now that i make into a"garage queen":glee::glee:

 

Today, I got crazy with the cordless drill nthego:

 

Today I only washed it, but tomorrow I am doing some paint accents.

 

I put my saddle back on after fetching it from the shipper. Looks stock, but has had foam replaced with Supracor by Spencer at greatdaytoride.com. I am really hoping it transforms the stock saddle into all day comfortable. The same treatment did so for my Bonneville saddle, so I'm optimistic that it will be a hundred bucks well spent.

I don't think the stock VFR saddle is as bad as some sport bikes, just that it could be better for long hauls and I noticed I started to squirm and feel pressure points after a couple of hours.

 

I called Spencer and he would not shave any off for me.....

Had him do my EX500 seat, very nice!

I spoke to him regarding a seat cover for my VFR, he told me to deal with Seargent Seats, very happy with the seat cover they stiched up, custom chit is far-out. $25.00 to staple it to the seat pan and it looks "titz." Cheers :thumbsup:

 

Not sure if this comment refers to price, seat height, or your avatar's grooming style.

I wasn't trying to get my feet flatter at stops, just wanted touring comfort.
