I was looking for a good solution to mount my phone on the bike. While I've had good experiences with RAM ball mounts, I've never been completely...
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I also adjusted the throttle cable to remove the slack, and now the throttle responds immediately to the handle....
I thought I'd update the thread with some news. I've ridden the VFR a fair bit now, and I am getting acquainted to how she handles and rides in...
That is a very nice example. Good for you!
Very nice! Good on you for bringing it back. Hope you like the ride she provides!
I overhauled the carbs on my 93 a couple of weeks ago, and changed all the o-rings while I had the carbs apart. I then bench synchronized the...
Yeah... sorry for slightly mixing things up, as mine is actually a 3rd gen and not a 4th as per the topic. I guess the carbs are somewhat...
I'll post an update when it arrives. Can't do any comparisons with the stock ones, as I don't have spares lying around, but seeing how cheap it...
Good to hear there's no performance issues despite the pinholes. Here's the kit I ordered:...
Indeed, live and learn - I will certainly remember that trick in the future. Another good tip was pushing the diaphragm "inside out" to help seat it.
Very nice indeed! How do you like that double bubble windscreen? How much of a difference does it make compared to the stock screen? I might be...
Ah, of course. Have you noticed any performance issues with the bike? Granted, the diaphragms will not function perfectly if there are any leaks,...
So I guess an update is in order: I completed the overhaul, bench synced the carbs with the help of some drill bits, and put everything back...
I have a 93 and overhauled my carbs recently: all of the diaphragms appeared to be in very good condition - pliable and springy still. The bike...
The LiteTek gasket/seal kit arrived. Meanwhile I removed the carb assembly from the bike and checked the float bowls. They had a fair amount of...
Thanks, skimad4x4! Presently I have the carbs off of the bike, and I ordered a viton seal kit from LiteTek as recommended elsewhere in the...
Thanks, man! Looks like we could start a Finnish 3rd gen club, as I've seen at least one around my neck of the woods, too. I'm across the country...
Yeah, I'm going to use up the current tires and go from there. I'm still suffering from fueling issues, so I changed the fuel filter and ordered a...
Thanks for the input, Terry Smith. Indeed, the tyres look and feel nice. There are no cracks or discoloration, and the rubber is pliable still, so...
Thanks, guys! The plan is to tune the carbs (I have a synch kit and optical tachometer on order) and ride easy for a couple of months to get to...
