Sounds like happening on your first wheelie is a common thing...maybe even a right of passage. Problem is I'm 38 and a puss, so I don't like...
Exhilarating? I'm still puckered up. I may not be right for days! :eek:
Action, you were absolutely dead on! Thermostat was stuck partially open. Changed it and now the motor stays in a 172-180 degree range. Plugs...
Found 2 plugs were fouled last weekend - engine fired up great today So I started my bike today just fine after changing my thermostat last...
Was I a split second from losing it? How does anybody get used to the front end rising? Still a relatively inexperienced rider so I was quite...
No doubt you guys are smarter than me and, I'm sure, the battery will be replaced. I'm just trying to make sure I'm looking in the right spot and...
Definitely don't doubt that the battery could have an issue and be getting old. But would a bad battery cause this thud when the engine suddenly...
What role does the starter clutch play? By the way, I can't say that I can ever hear the starter whining in a "something's whirring but not...
Started it today and realized I left out a point. After the motor cranks a few times and it stops cranking, it stops very abruptly with a clunk....
I was told it had been done before I purchased it. What were the symptoms of a bike before recall repairs?
After my bike sits for a few days (4 or 5) and I go to start it, here's what I find. The motor will crank a few times, maybe for a second or so,...
Oh, how happy and sad I am at the same time that I started this post. Happy in that this explains the fouled plugs I found a week after buying...
I see. My cause and effect could be backwards. The cold motor might be causing the poor fuel economy. However my bike is tough to start. So...
Could a rich fuel mixture cause the significantly lower operating temps as well as (obviously) decreased fuel economy?
1) What do you mean that it cracks between 176 and 178? 2) Would the motor ever get warm if the thermostat was stuck open? Mine gets warmer at...
In 150s-160s.
Good point. My bike will get hot and the fans turn on (220F or something like that). Just had that happen on Wednesday or Thursday after an in...
My bike - '02 VFR ABS - I'm about 208 lbs. Brother's bike - '08 VFR non-ABS - he's about 188 lbs. His bike is consistently 3-4 mpg better off...
No. That's not my thing. Lots of straight-line riding and without much leaning. Rolling into the throttle/full throttle stuff. No wheelies,...
Checked the triangle per the following link: http://vfrworld.com/forums/suspension-articles/14909-how-lower-your-6th-gen-triangle-flip.html And...
