Do the 2nd gen 700s have a thermostat bypass, or does coolant not circulate through the bike when the thermostat is closed? I flushed and...
I've been kicking around using just distilled water and WW. I don't plan to run in below freezing temps, and while the garage isn't heated, it's...
Anyone used Engine Ice Coolant? I've seen the notes to stay away from any with silica in it. I'm looking for a good coolant for bike use...
I'd pick up gloves, helmet, jacket, etc. and then take the MSF Basic Rider Course as soon as you can. If you can't take the course soon, pick up...
I ended up tapping one of the switched circuits, but I'm not sure what it is. Gave up on trying to trace the circuits for now. I'll wait for the...
The headlight being a high-draw item, I didn't know how much voltage drop would be in the system before the point where I tapped it for the meter....
Yeah, I went with something that would be easy to see if I kept it tucked back on the instrument panel. Looks like it draws 21mA when dim, and...
I have Alpinestar Webs. Gortex lined, and when I pulled my jeans over them, only people that notice the extra layer of leather for the shifter...
I have a kuryakin meter that I'm trying to install on my 86 VFR700. I popped off the right-side black cover on the inside of the fairing, and...
Haven't put on the Kuryakin meter yet, waiting for a service manual to arrive so I can more easily locate a good circuit to attach it to. I...
Dealers seem to stock the clutch levers, so I doubt that they're single-year levers. My brake lever looks just like the one on my wife's 87 hawk...
If anyone on here has an '88-'89 VFR, I'd love to get some pics from you of the rear of the bike, with the seat off, and from underneath. I'm...
One of my friends has a V1 mounted in each of his bikes (R1 and Bandit). He places the unit itself inside the front fairing, out of the elements...
Here's my 86 that I finally brought home. [IMG] A touch of damage to it from being down twice on the left side: [IMG] [IMG]...
A couple weeks ago I ran into a problem trying to get the seat to lock into place, it would just pop loose on it's own. A friend and I mucked...
Rode the bike home yesterday, starting with a 12.7V battery (just where the acid brought the battery up to after being filled). Bike started...
I put in the new battery yesterday. Same exact voltages from the regulator as before, but I was able to confirm that the regulator *is* charging...
Yeah. I looked at the gallery pics you have to see what color your bike was. The black power-coat would look great with that bike. On my RWB...
I saw that thread of yours where you first posted those pics. Your old RR is very similar to mine (likely same casting for the heat-sink). Do to...
I have 4 baffles in mine right now, significantly quieter than the full 8 baffles. Probably doesn't breathe as well up high, but I'm not running...
