Where have I been? Oh yeah, living in the boonies, so I can tolerate the other humans when I have no choice but to interact with them... Now I...
Uuhh, because it is in the PNW, but it has some mountains in it? Good question... It probably has something to do with a government official...
Hi, JamieDaugherty. My interest was in checking the stripped-down carb body before re-assembly, but thanks for for the emphasis. I generally used...
Sometimes it helps just to put the hammers within visual range of the bike. Scare tactics...:eek:
Welcome, and congratulations! This is the place to be for information and questions.
Thanks! I have the same Penske on my SV, and really like it. Since I will eventually modify the VFR suspenders, I was considering the Penske....
Squirrelman, is there a link, book, or article you can point me to that covers the kerosene/compressed air stuff? I read Smokey's "Power Secrets"...
Good day, PC. Sounds like all is as it should be, with the exception of me having a bad attitude every time I hit a freeway bump, and knowing what...
Congrats! I am also a "new" VFR owner ('07 RWB), and sometimes just like looking at it. Well, at the moment, "looking" is about all most of us can...

It is probably one valve slightly out of spec, i.e. too loose. I would keep an ear on it, and if the ticking starts getting louder, I would...
Just one more thing; it is probably worth lubing all of your cables.That might take care of the slow return to idle. Probably worth lubing things...
My neck of the woods gets about 90" of annual rainfall, but Mother Nature is USUALLY kind enough to spread it out over five months. I don't even...
Darn! i was just getting used to whining about being an "outsider", but I see that I'll need to find something else to whine about. Give me a few...
When the throttle is closed, is there any free play when you rotate it, or is there constant spring tension? There should always be a little bit...
Personally, I always stick with the standard chain size. 520 chain and sprockets are thinner and lighter, but for me, that doesn't matter on a...
I would guess that either a throttle cable is binding or the carburetor linkage is binding. When it idles high, is their any play in the throttle...
