I have two bikes, a 99 VFR and a 97 VTR1000, collectively they are worth less than 1/3rd of a new VFR800! So as you say, absolutely fair game to...
Nope...it's a health and safety matter. [ATTACH]
I think I can speak for all here when I say "TOO MUCH INFORMATION"!
My guess is in SOW's refrigerator. Or just in SOW.
From 86 onwards, VFR700/750's have a pretty bulletproof engine. All of the cam wear and camchain tensioner faults with the 82-85 engines were...

^^yeah, what JD said. You need this part: 44808-MR7-013, should be less than $10. Just unbolt the speedo drive at the sprocket cover and pull...
The service manual shows the brake pad replacement being done with the caliper and wheel installed. You should push the caliper sideways (to the...
Loving the white wheels Bernie! What did you do to your seat? I'm thinking of modifying mine so I don't spend half my ride pushing back off the tank.
I have 90,000km on my VFR now and no detectable play in those bearings. I removed, cleaned and regreased them when I bought the bike at 70,000km,...
I use an Oxford bag that I've had for many years. This has a velcro strap that goes around the seat pan, then a loop of bungy cord that fits...
