Welcome back. 30th anniversary of this bike this year. I ride mine only 2 weeks a year (too expensive to license in Quebec), using the VFR most of...
Tampa, lucky man. My 3 bikes are in the garage for another 3 to 4 months. Enjoy your bags.

If you drain your carbs and your seals are old, check carefully that they are not leaking when refilled next spring. I don't mean leak but flood.
'Universal' health insurance. Nothing is free in this world.
+1 Raised the back and dropped the front of my vf1000f to have just this, a quicker steering and that what I got.
I think the center stand stopper is on the muffler. If you have a non-OEM muffler it may be the problem.

It's inside the fuel tank.
These are the symptoms my 1st gen had when the pick up coils (pulse generators) started to die. Tacho is fed by the pulse also sent to the spark...
Even if the $ exchange rate is almost on par, we still pay a prime in Can compared to US for Japan imported parts. Same for European gear (Sidi,...

To close this hijack, my coolant bottle was empty. Was too lazy to check but since it no longer started I had to change the spark plugs. I then...
Sorry for hijacking this thread. Temp goes down to 80-85C after 3-4 kms of faster (100-120 km/h) moving . I think I did burp it properly. First...
Currently running my 5th gen at 116C/240F in stop and go traffic. Problem is ambient temp is just above freezing point (4C). Fan seems to start at...
