Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs... Thumbs is correct, you need to downshift as you slow down. Motorcycle gearboxes use engagement dogs...
The bleed sequence is very important, as is the orientation of the SMC during bleeding to the PCV and rear centre piston. The manual has details...
The VF1000F2 is a full fairing version I believe. That also has an 18" front wheel compared to earlier VF1000Fs which had the same 16" diameter...
The valves are the only things I would check proactively. On these engines the valve clearances slowly close up over the miles, so the valve gear...
I changed the fibre discs (and springs while I was in there) on my 800 with about 98000km. The clutch had no slip issues but was getting grabby...
The Fi has a 20L tank and on mine I would get between 16 and 18km/L depending on the fun level. So 320km/200 miles is possible but I was usually...

I have changed the suspension in all my bikes, and never regretted that for a moment. Take a look on the Racetech website and I'm sure you will...
I'd suggest you download the service manual here:...
Buy yourself a cheap multimeter! You should have a good solid battery voltage (12v) at the black/white wires for each coil, and an earth path for...
Just my 2 cents worth... A strange scratching sound releasing the clutch sounds like the air intake flapper solenoid cycling open-closed. Usually...
If you already have the two hoses from the rear caliper joined together at the master then you don't need to drill that caliper at all. But I...
I'n no 8th gen expert but I have had VTR1000 forks apart many times, same sort of rebound adjuster. Where the needle bottoms out (fully closed) is...
I checked the VTR1000F manual; there is no mention of a specific orientation direction for the caliper seals. [ATTACH]
In the US I believe the deluxe also has adjustable rebound for the forks, so look for the little adjusting screw in the fork caps. An ABS bike...
It is possible to test the flapper operation at a standstill on the centrestand in neutral, just pull off the neutral switch wire (located on the...
