Jamie, Going from the 110/90-16 to the 120/70R17: The overall dia is the same (.18" smaller), but it has .69" shorter of a sidewall, and an...
I ride to work 3-4 days a week, 35 miles each way, split between mountain twisties and freeway riding. After that hour-long ride, I'm really...
So it's just the profile change with the 120/70-17 that makes it better?
Jasco's EEEVIIILLL on skin (currently refinishing my kitchen cabinets, and using a lot of it). Immediate dousing in cold water works wonders when...
I get about 5-10mpg worse in the city (residential streets, low-speeds) than I do on the freeway, and somewhere in the middle when in the...
I'm running Amsoil 10w40 MC oil in my bike. I was sold on the high-quality synthetics after running some in my truck and having my wife comment...
What size tire on the Ø17" front do you recommend?
Check the tension on it, was what I meant. Mine looked loose, but not TOO loose when parked, but when running, it was clear it was tapping...

under 3000 rpm??? funny, never been down there since I started riding it. I rev to 3K and hold it there as I let out the clutch, unless I'm...
Daily commute on my '86 (35 miles each way, half of which is mountain twisties). Sport to commute, I guess. Touring is heavily limited by the...

I have an AXO 2-piece suit that's what I wear, all the time. And in this 100+ degree heat, boy do I make it funky smelling. What do you guys...
Ok, I dug this up: Wind Tunnel : Hayabusa vs. ZX-12R "To achieve 187.5 mph, the Hayabusa needs 147.6 horsepower to overcome drag alone; the 12R...
I'd definitely go through the electrosport flowchart, though. If you've burnt the wires to the regulator, there's something wrong. Although...
Not if it's stock. Assuming a 12K redline, and computing the mechanically redline limited top speed (assuming you had the HP to get there),...
Clutch slave cylinder? What parts, exactly do you need. Is it just leaking or do you need the actual housing ($$)? You can get new parts at...
that would be your rectifier/regulator. Known weak bit....
Reading this has been fascinating. Overall, by my math, it looks like the speedos are consistently 10% fast. I'm seeing lots of people with...
Does anyone know of any online dyno results for a vfr700? I can't seem to find anything, for either the 86 vfr700 or the 86 vfr750. I'm certain...
