    wouldnt that be possible with say the 8th gen. it has that access port. Assuming all the 3rd party QS needs is to send the 'right signal' would be nice especially if the OEM doesnt support and produce their own product anymore(the honda QS)

    Hello All. Looking for a centerstand for my 93 VFR. Statesville NC USA. Thanks!

    keny, I don't think my US model came with the nuts installed on those posts from the factory. I never used the nuts on those two spots regardless.

    I had a muffler shop do mine and he split, I found a good welder and he fixed it up perfect!

    until

    A local mentioned Warwoman Road, from Hwy 28 over to Clayton, GA. It turned out to be a great road. It’s an easy one to miss, because it comes up from over one’s right shoulder. Basically, it’s the first major road, across the state line. The regulars may already know of it. Whitewater Falls turned out to be a cool sight. The access road to the parking lot is somewhat narrow and unmarked. And, there is no cell service, so grabbing a screenshot of the map, before getting down in that area would be advantageous. If you hit the state line or the Duke Energy entrance, you’ve went too far. There’s probably going to be a whole lot of traffic on every other road, with the repaving going on.

    The FJ is alive, started good, didn't run that good at lower rpm at first but did start run better, did a Sync that might have helped. Insurance is on from tomorrow so will do a spin on it, hopefully starts tu run better. It's been sitting almost 2 years, carbs been dry thro. However definitely have to many motorcycle's, so it's also listed. I had a few plans for it, but will not ba made, limited time as funds and just want to put all efforts on my RC24 VFR750 Ashame in one way but you can't have it all, and enjoying the Bandit 600 very much, only like to find a OEM muffler/silencer for reasonable money, the current aftermarket one is to loud for my licking, I guess I'm getting old 😅

    Muscling up the courage to post one more ride. It seems that despite the many riding groups on Al Gore's Internet, no one actually rides anymore. All of our Meetup groups have closed too, as have the local forums, at least for riding instead of talking about how to make the best sandwich.... Same scoop. Leaving from Morganton (may change to Marion/Wilkesboro if other pals want to go and have preference) ~10 a.m. for probably 200 miles of riding. Anyone? Bueller?

    That link does not work for me. My oem clutch was good and measured fine, I had some gunk in the slave but nothing serious. Seem that the springs from Dan is actually worn out and also seem like Barnett disc is worse than OEM 😐 Can't beat Honda OEM!

    Hah! So true. It just sucks when your extended loan goes out of term on a trip or a ride in the mountains. The penalties can be harsh and expensive. 😄

    I just eyeballed the blank, I didn't put a micrometer on it or anything, but once copied at a hardware store it opens my Monokey bags just as smoothly as the big red factory Givi key. Some of the blanks I see suggested online, like the Ilco B59 X162, look very different, and people still claim they work. I suspect the Monokey cylinder isn't the highest quality, so the tolerances are probably quite forgiving of blanks with slightly wrong dimensions.

    Removing the V-Tec valve is quite simple. The machine itself fits the pins into the valve locking hole. they can be of such a size that the spring goes to the bottom (the valve now catches the pin and cannot move through the v-tec valve) and the other end of the pin is stuck on the inner edge of the valve cup so it cannot move. after that, just to the dyno to adjust the fuel mixture. I turned the holes suitable for the adjustment pieces in the upper end of the v-tec, because when I machined all the cams of the camshafts for more lift, otherwise the v-tec valves would have too big clearances. Power commander fuel maps can be adjusted as long as there is a dyno bench and a competent guy doing it.

    Looks amazing. Better than the marlboro version. The RZ 500 colorway is also amazing. I want one. If they ever come to Canada that is.

    I was able to. Lance (sfdownhill) had one that he let me ride up on Angeles Forrest Highway. Brilliant machine, almost felt telepathic!

    6. Ignition Switch. No need to remove at this stage. Go to the 4P connector for it and see if it has the Pink wire. "7. curiously i do not get 12v at FCR plug at ignition on.. i had checked it before and swore i had 11v continuously but i just double checked and i had MV" Need to be very clear about this statement!..Are you saying you are Not measuring 12v on the Black/White wires of the FCR at switch On? OR, you don't measure 12v on the Brown/Black wire with respect to Battery positive for 2 to 3sec at switch On? See attached. If you don't have the Pink Wire on the Ignition Switch, and you do have 12v on the Black/White wires, and not seeing the 12v for the 2 to 3secs as per above, then.......... After all that's been checked, can only suspect the ECM is toast!

      Juniper Pass

      I took a day off from work and also from my bicycle training to take out the Veefalo one last time before the weather turns ugly, supposed to snow the rest of the week and possibly start sticking to the ground along the Colorado Front Range. I took a leisurely pace up hwy 105 toward Morrison and got reacquainted with the bike since its been over a month since I took any sort of twisties on it at all, hwy 105 is a scenic ride along the front range between Denver and Colorado Springs, its mostly easy fast sweepers and lite traffic so its a favorite road of mine when going north. Then I have to negotiate a bit of traffic near Highlands ranch and up hwy 470 into the mountains. I decided to take the Morrison Exit and try either Lookout Mountain or head up Golden Gate Canyon - this time it was Lookout Mountain, I was sort of making it up on the fly as I went along. Lookout Mountain is my old bicycling haunt from my days while I was working at Coors, its a killer ride and all uphill - I don't think I could do it today If I had to, not quite there yet! I saw a whole bunch of riders doing it though and wished I was in shape enough to be there doing it as well. 30 more lbs and I will be able to do it! On this day I would do it on the Veefalo instead.

       

       

       

       

      I took a video from the gateway to the top at the Lookout Mountain State Park, getting past riders, the guy in the green jacket actually pretty much astounded me with how far he had gotten in the short time it took me to set up my camera, some 3 miles at least and up to the gateway from the turn off at hwy 6! Amazing I thought. I took the first two turns slow then got more comfortable as I went up further, till I was doing well, I made some gearing mistakes and took the tight 15mph marked hairpins in the wrong gear so I lugged it a bit on one or two. Still enjoyed it though and then got off at the top and hiked over a rock outcropping for an overview of the road for the pictures below.

      From there I headed up interstate 70 to Idaho Springs for a beer at the Tommy-knockers brewery, I was the only customer in the joint - slow day for them so they treated me like a king! I got a nice tour of the place sort of impromptu, they made me a nice Pastrami sandwich on rye and with the brown ale it was fantastic. I must say the beer is much better there than in the bottles - its always good at the brewery. I am glad I stopped

      I finished my lunch and since the road to Mount Evans is right there I headed up Squaw pass hoping to get in some nice pictures I wasn't expecting what I found, ICE IN ALL THE SHADY PARTS

      gallery_491_3463_419309.png

      Icy patches on Squaw Pass definitely taking it easy on that road

      There were some section where the ice covered the whole road for 300 yards or so I had to roll through it with my legs out to help keep the bike from sliding and falling over, I took it real slow. A Ford pickup was right behind me so I pulled over to let him pass but the guy was going slower then even I was so I pressed on - in places where I could see I just cut over to the oncoming lane and out of the ice where the sun was shining on the road more, but some places there was not alternative so I just had to go slow, good thing it wasn't slick but rather they tossed some gravel over the worst parts so I had some traction!

      I did stop for pictures in all the best spots

      I Am Back !

      gallery_7692_2036_18129.jpg

      Not that it matters and not that I expect anyone had noticed, but to those who sent me "where are you?" I would like to say I am back. Not only that I am officially returning to VFRD after nearly 2 months break but I have also ridden my Hawk last weekend and had FUN! Let me restate that; I had major fun riding! Something I have almost given up on.

      Most of you have been riding your whole adult lives and riding is not only a hobby to you, it is part of you. But I started riding three years ago and even though I have encounter some setbacks, till this spring I loved riding with whole my heart. However, I have always considered riding as my hobby. As a hobby which suppose to make my life better, more fun and more rich. Life is too short to do something which we don't fully love.

      My love of riding received a first major scar this spring: I lost a friend on the racetrack. He was a total stranger who offered me his help after I lowsided at CMP track last year. I still remember hearing his "Hi, my name is Todd, do you need help?" while I was duct-taping my roadrash from ripped jacket. He helped me straighten up the shifter and we kept in touch. The next time we saw each other was the day he died.

      With 9 months delay, I can say that Todd's death shook me more than I have realized. It rooted fear in me which was fueled by seeing and hearing about others getting hurt over and over again. If I was to summarize this year - it would be one big accident report. I became sensitive to every broken bone, every roadrash, every lowside. And even though I did 10 track days this year, I became slower and slower and slower. Suddenly, I have acquired this 'grandma' riding style on the road, frozen with fear that behind every corner there is car standing in my lane, or major sand trap or deer staring at me ... I was crippled with fear not only for me about also for my fellow rider.

      So, at the end of this year, I rode more and more by myself. I could not bear the feelings of responsibility for others on the road and my lines were crippled by my own fears. It all culminated this fall at WDGAH. In a freaky accident Love2rideh82crash was taken down by a truck crossing into our lane. I was done. I finished the weekend, locked the VFR into a garage and took a break.

      Until the last weekend, I pretended that motorcycles do not exists. As a last instance after 2 months break from riding, I decided to go to CMP track to see if I can still have fun. I also felt like I should go for the memory of Todd. I went and I had fun! I had much more fun than I expected and the most fun on track I can remember. Suddenly the whole track connected into an uninterupted line of turns and I felt one with the bike riding around! I was giggling like a little girl in my helmet and keep on giggling ever since smile.gif

      Granted I was not the fastest one and through out the weekend, I have never exceeded about 60% of my riding abilities, but I had no "oh-shit" nor 'blond' moments. I could have maybe go faster, I could have brake later for the turns and I could have lean further, but I am no Rossi nor Stoner. I decided to ride for fun and I had amazing blast riding well within my comfort zone.

      I was proud of myself when, after bandaging Ricks arm, I was able to distance myself and go back to riding without the year-long fear. I did feel bad for him but the feelings were not crippling my lines nor my mind. And when a total stranger came to me and said "Hi, my name is Todd", my heart stopped for a minute though but I suddenly knew that my life went a full circle. I probably will never win MotoGP :idea3: , but I am back! :wheel:
