    what did you do to your vfr today?

    Nice selfies Jeff! I just got back from 300km on the VFR1100ST. A balmy 20C but a bit windy with the odd shower. [IMG] [IMG] Sent from my...

    Thermostat/radiator temps

    Short hops like that are bound to use more fuel. Yes you have a 6th gen, 2002 to 2012, 7th gen is the 1200, 8th gen is the 2014-current 800....

    Thermostat/radiator temps

    The thermostat should be open by around 80C, and I would expect it to get there within a couple of miles. Whether it then gets to 90C would depend...

    Not getting great gas mileage

    Who has named their bikes?

    I call my red VFR "Thing One" and the red VTR is "Thing Two". A Dr Seuss reference, and also because my wife can't tell them apart.

    What Keeps Feeding Electrical Gremlins?

    Radiator Flush or ???
