Not sure if your question was directed at me or not Rogue but that's a flat out NO! When I first bought the bike it was waaay tight. First thing I...
Lgn001, you can buy a Bearing Puller Kit (slide hammer type) that includes several attachments to use depending on the bearing size. As long as...
Well that I won't completely agree although the method you described would certainly ruin the bearing if the rim wasn't heated up. Having replaced...
Thanks for the info John. I was hoping to do this over the winter but haven't gotten to it yet. I even went as far as to bid on a used...
Well for an '83 bike I would just do it while you're in there. I'm assuming they are not sealed bearings which would make even more sense. You'd...
He's hard core alright! :biggrin: How do you like the shift kit you installed? I've contemplated this mod especially since I'll be using the...

Every time I buy a new bike, the first thing I do is search for the bike model and forums, ie "VFR forums". Simple as that. :biggrin:
I thought the same thing. I sold an expensive Shoei Multitec helmet after two weeks. The helmet has a different profile which closed off my...
I personally think low-tech is better in every walk of life and I work in the computer field! The more I work in this field, the more I think all...
Have you guys been on the twisties up in Schuylkill County yet? You can't beat those roads locally for tight curves. We've got to set up some...
