Early VF owners should look at this...

Tired of burning the shit out of your hand adjusting the idle? So was I. I figured out the idle adjustment on a '94 VFR used a cable, instead of just a screw. It's just the right length, and it has the right thread pitch.

I made the bracket from an old brake lever spting on my Suzuki. I heated the spring with a torch so I could straighten the wire, and bent it into shape. the steel held most of it's temper through the heating process, which is how such a small wire can hold this thing steady, and not let the white collar fall out. I tried using coat hanger wire and bailing wire, but they were both way too soft.

I secured it by making a small loop at the other end, and running one of the coolant pipe bolts through it.

NO MORE BURNED FINGERS!!!
