5th gen has 41mm forks, 6th gen is 43mm. The springs might be the same but you need to check.
Aparently, a 525 chain and sprocket kit is around 1kg lighter then a 530 kit. A 520 kit is lighter again. 525's are used on BMW S1000RR's that...
My opinion is don't get one. Solder the joints, it takes 2 minutes if you have a soldering iron and it's fail safe. It's easy enough to add a fuse...
I've tried a few different brands of the reusable ones, and the only ones that fit my ears properly are the NoNoise ones. Thet normally last me...
An Australian invention. Apparently they are very quiet, as the way they open means they can keep neck opening very snug. They haven't had much...
:Amen:
Something is not right. Not only is the tyre too close to the chain, it also looks too close to the swingarm on the same side. Are your spacers...
The most affected part is rotational weight. And it does make a difference. I wouldn't do it if your chain is new, but if you're going to replace...
I tried using these type gauges, but found them too inaccurate. The increments are too small to adjust as needed. I use an electronic vacuum gauge...
Self explanatory [ATTACH]
Yes, with $45 shipping to Australia
At the price of Motul V3000 here (AU$120 for 4L), it depends on how many oil changes you do.
I like to give the disks a going over with wet and dry when I replace pads to clean them up, and lubricate slide pins. I would also suggest you...
It's obvious there was ever only one outcome to this story. The VFR800 was never a sportsbike, it's a sports tourer, a very different thing. The...
If it's only happening on deceleration, it's the pair valves. It annoyed the crap out of me, that's why I got rid of them.
I understand your frustration, but I think you're being a bit harsh. Technically, your 22 year old bike had 1 RR failure, you then unwitingly...
No, there should be no popping and farting under acceleration nor should it struggle at 4000rpm. An aftermarket exhaust would not do this....
The suspension on the VFR new was OK. With a bit of age it's crap. At 76K M it's even crapper, (is that even a word?) Do something, DMR, UD...
A lot of older type forks use ATF, it has very good anti froth properties. From memory I think it's around 15W, but it varies by manufacturers....
I thought you would say that, and I don't blame you, it looks great and will make a great day bike. I only mentioned it because I've been looking...
