This is my first bike with a fuel gauge, so it's not that important and I don't want to spend a lot of money at the shop. Do I need to take the tank off to get to the problem or ...?

How about a section under Forums to post you favorite humor posts. I think there should be some sort of "guidelines" though. I can just imagine some of the off colour messages and jokes that would be posted. If contributors common sense does not prevail, you can always ...OMG...the "C" word... censor them or delete the forum al together. I can assure you, I have some myself. But as someone previously posted, they sometimes have their kids and or spouses looking over...

The bike is mostly stock outside of some suspension work--a YSS rear shock and RaceTech gold valve emulators with 0.85kg/mm springs up front. I didn't and don't want to try to modify the bike to have race ergonomics. This is the...

None were a straightforward fit. Mainly the rear mounting lug did not line up with the footrest plate mounting.

The Marvins (my preferred choice) eventually were coaxed into place but I found the centre stand fouled the pipe...

I might be able to wrench on stuff just fine, but I've been wanting to do an engine swap for a long time, and got to thinking about using a Honda V4 as a candidate. Granted I don't have a roller for this project yet, but I've got ideas. Just wanted to see if anyone here had ever adapted any of these engines into a car at all.

For context, I've been looking at importing an old Kei car from Japan or maybe finding an NA Miata.]]> 3 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 21:52:07 +0000 https://vfrworld.com/threads/random-photos.61585/ https://vfrworld.com/threads/random-photos.61585/ invalid@example.com (RogueRC24) RogueRC24

Anyway, I’ve been wanting to do an overhaul on my first bike for many years now. I’ve finally decided to take the plunge, and I’ve been pulling it apart and creating a shopping list of the items I need. I bought the bike at ~12,000 miles and it currently has just under ~21,000. It ran beautifully when I parked...

The 86 is mine and the 87 was my twin brothers. Sadly, he passed away last year after a valiant battle with cancer. We rode them sparingly over the years to keep the mileage low. This week I reached a purchase agreement with my sister-in-law for his bike and took it home, as well and taking my 86 with it. They'll remain together until my...

Myself? I love movie soundtracks for background music. Most of the Clint Eastwood movies are exceptional and also any by John Williams (Jurassic Park) - and there are many more.



But I mostly listen to classic rock. Rush, Doobies, Steeley Dan, Santana, The Who, Led...

Posting here for posterity, but my first V4 project begins tomorrow. I am going to pick this little baby up from a fella who was selling it for quite a bargain. Obviously I'll be in for a long one with this one, but I knew that going in so I am not that worried. I jumped on it specifically because he had the full fairing plastics, because I prefer the fully faired bike's look.

Likely buying a 5th, maybe 6th gen very soon. Like many of us, one of the main attractions after all the years still is that sweet V4 sound, especially with the GDC overtones of the 5th gen!
Back in my 2nd gen days I had a helmet with perfect balance of tolerable wind noise whilst hearing loud and clear that sweet V4 song at any speed and load, brilliant! I once tried some more up-to-date helmets with better features...
