VTR's use a 17 x 3.5 front wheel, the same size as the VFR. Ideally you should keep your VFR wheel and discs, just swap the fork lowers and the...
+1 on the Corbin. An old girlfirend bought one new for her bike way back in 86.
You know, you're going to confuse the folks in the Northern Hemisphere by posting your photos like that: [IMG] They really should be properly...
The problem you face is that your bike has sliding calipers, which mount onto a second plate with the sliding mounts, which then bolt to the fork...
Good idea on the Buell pegs. I had a set of 1" lower pegs on my RF900 and they were great. Took a bit of file work to fit but it is only alloy so...
I'd say the 99 data is 'as tested' by a magazine, where the other two are Honda's quoted data. As far as emmissions "crap" goes, only the...
Sorry that I can't help you with a simple answer, but calculating the spacer length is not hard. Install your springs and the two flat washers...
Just FYI you can take the clutch cover off without draining the oil, a long as you keep the bike on the sidestand. Don't over-torque the clutch...
On my VTR (which uses a very similar design to the VFR) I replaced the roller bearing and bushing that supports the clutch outer on the gearbox...
I ordered an EBC set of friction discs (part CK1206) , plus a set of springs (CSK29), from Partzilla. Don't forget the gasket, 11394-MBG-D00.
You're going to get some heavily biased views here, asking about the merits of the different VFR's! IMO the 5th gen is the sweet spot, you get a...
IMO clutchless shifts are fine provided you let off the throttle as you shift up. That takes the load off the gear engagement dogs and allows them...
I recently swapped out the clutch friction plates and springs on my VTR1000 (identical setup to this), and while I was in there I also replaced...
The length of forks is governed by the contact between the topout on the outside of the cartridge, and a lip on the inside of the upper fork tube....
Here's a link for the owner's manual. I won't tell anyone if you read it......
[IMG] If I read that diagram right, you'll have a ground from the starter solenoid through either the neutral switch (in neutral), or the clutch...
Was that with standard gearing?
Better a bit on the loose side; as the suspension moves through it's stroke it passes through the point where the pivot and the two sprocket axes...
My opinion (and it is just that) is that just the drilling pattern is different, and the only reason for the difference is fashion. I can't think...
Yeah, just what I meant, but more concise!
Separate names with a comma.
