At what mileage do fork seals on avg need to be replaced
Conedodger replied to VFR80025th's topic in Sixth Generation VFR's
Mine needed to be done at 24K miles. -
I'm at 35K miles on the original plugs. Bike is running great! I don't plan to change them anytime soon. My experience with modern plugs is they last a long time.

Help needed. Bent Brake lever near Franklin n NC
Conedodger replied to RedShed's topic in Fifth Generation VFR's
I was able to straighten a bent lever pretty easily. Take it off the bike and find some way to secure it. Then you need a pipe or tool that will fit over the lever. With the extra leverage and some patience, I think you'll find it pretty easy to repair. (Provided it isn't cracked.) -
Great buy!! I've contemplated selling my '04. Hip problems have kept me off the bike this summer. I can't get over how stale the market is on VFR's. Seems like nobody wants them. Local Craigslist has had a couple for sale all summer with no movement. I would have to give mine away to get it out of the garage.

What was your first bike
Conedodger replied to Bikermike1's topic in OTHER Motorcycle Talk (non vfr)
I had never ridden a motorcycle in my life. Took my bonus after a year at my 1st real job and purchased a brand new Honda Nighthawk S. -
I've only run 87 octane in my '04 and consistently get 38 mpg commuting. My commute is a mix of 45-55 mph two lane, about 16 miles each way. Your short commute and stop and go traffic doesn't help, but I would think you could get more than 25 mpg.

Classic words of a scam. I would be very cautious.

I may be wrong, but I think if you use a front stand, you'll need a rear stand too. Not sure that a front stand and center stand work well together.
-
I do a similar thing. I take off the rear wheel and use a bottle jack under the engine to raise the front. Once the front wheel is off, I replace the axle in the forks and lower it on to a single jack stand. If you have a friend push down on the back, be careful that they don't push the bike forward collapsing the center stand.

I use one weekly to remove the spuds on my autocross car. No issues, they just pop out. Might depend on how long the spud has been in place.

My 6th Gen with VFRness started blowing the 20A fuse in the main harness last year. It would happen 10-20 minutes into a ride. Looked over all the connections and everything looks OK. Finally put a 30A in and haven't had a problem since.

I'm in Rochester, NY. Went to Florida with a trailer to pick mine up. Didn't quite hit 90mph, but the cruise was set at 80mph through much of West Virginia on the way home. 1/2 hour after picking it up...explains the shit eating grin.
