Oh yea. Those EBC pads sure as hell made a difference. I installed those after cleaning up the rotors with a red scotchbrite pad and brake...
Here's a screenshot of page 14-17 of the VF500F service manual if anyone else is interested. I suspect the purple stuff probably works similarly...
I have been using this purple Permatex ceramic Brake Parts Lubricant on the caliper pins. Checking out the TDS, it's "non-silicone" and "pure...
Thanks Cap. I just ordered a set of the pads earlier today. My thinking was that the Tokiko 2-pots on my SV don't seem like they should be...
I have actually been fighting something similar where various electronics weren't working intermittently. I thought I was blowing tail lights, but...
I thought you might like that--pretty much the reason I bothered uploading the photos! :Smile:
Question to start--Braking. I've realized just how poor the braking is on my VF500F compared to the SV650 I've been also riding. I'm guessing a...
Gotcha. Thank you. I just need to know which words to look up. Big damn day today! I brought the bike back home to it's owner. There's still 100...
biketyresuk was the vendor. I'll get into contact with them and see what needs to happen either for an exchange or a return. It looks like it was...

I friggen love that bike. The yellow and black firebolt like you've got, or the black with gold touches... those are the two I used to just stare...
Well well well... it appears my information about Bridgestone tires was outdated AND American Tire Moto has either not updated their website to...
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Shocks are very much the dark arts to me, and I just wasn't certain on what I needed. Ordered. That tax to...
Sorry, I wasn't meaning to assign you homework. What I'm finding is that the stock shock length is 346mm. The model that I'm finding listed for...
Do you have a suggestion on where to buy one from? Everywhere I check is overseas. Which is fine, but if there was a US distributor/seller, I'd...
I would have never even considered it had Captain 80's not mentioned it in a previous post. I could have done a better job taping it up on the...
If this thing is still sitting around for $2,500... If you sold it, I hope you went a lot higher than $2,500.
So it's definitely lipstick on a pig, but I'm impressed with how close the rattlecan sprayed out compared to the original frame paint. It was a...
