Hello all, I'm introducing myself as the new owner of a slightly loved 2010 VFR1200. So far, I love this bike. I've been on sportbikes for 22 years and it was time to get something a bit more comfy. I look forward to reading and learning as much as I can from the smart people on this forum. Currently, racing takes up 90% of my energy and focus. I race with CMRA in the Ultra-Light Endurance series. I have a team called FMD Racing based out of San Antonio. We have 5 racers and 4 bikes all ridden by combat veterans and supported by Race for the Wounded and C&D Powersports. If anyone has time, check out Race for the Wounded and FMD Racing and give us a like on facebook.

I can’t wait to get on the road New shoes have arrived and chain and gears are on route. But does anybody know what oil I should be using for this trip [emoji854] Also is Lee2002 going to be bringing M&M’s for the group [emoji39] Didit (tony) any word on laundry services at the Rocket or close by.

I hope those of you that have installed your kits are still testing and enjoying them :) I will have 5 new sets available in a few weeks, please get in touch if interested!

Candy will beg you to ride her often. Be prepared.....

Just received my Attendee Itinerary in the mail today. Looks good. I like the logo. Thanks for all the work Tony. Looking forward to this event.

I've just fitted a full set of AS3 hoses, using their SS full band clamps and have had no end of issues with leaks. All the spigots were clean and in really good condition so I do not think that was the issue. I'd tighten it all up, pressure test it and it was all Ok, go for a ride and on my return there would be a leak from a joint. Tighten the offending clamp and all OK. Go for another ride and there would be another leak from somewhere else. Persevered with this for a week, chasing leaks all around the place until it got to the point where the leak was under the throttle bodies. At that point I removed the AS3 hoes and went back to my plain old rubber ones. Not a leak since. So as far as I am concerned, silicone hoses are off the agenda. Total failure.

Had mixed bag of clamps from years gone by.
