Just change the oil, and ride the piss out of it. Would not hurt to check the axle nuts/wheel lugs, and change the brake fluid. Maybe the coolant as well. I had some of the hard to get to coolant lines split on mine(PITA)repair.

This is a 6 speed map. This map has been evolving over the last few weeks. Speed Calibration was done via GPS and gear speeds were set @ 5k rpm. Temps range from 50* to 70* but mostly in the mid 60's. Evevation was from Sea level to 4000 feet. Average around 1500 ft. The trims are now at a max +/-1~3. In mixed riding the MPG are @ 41. Tearing it up in the hill will get as bad as 36 mpg. Straight freeway speeds can get 43 mpg. Most of the map is running 13.2 afr, But at 0~20% throttle in the 4250~6250 RPM range in 5&6 gears the AFR is 13.7.(I tried leaner, but the bike got back the mid range buzz, so 13.7 it is). Y2K with gutted airbox, PiperCross filter, Staintune and no o2/Pair. Enjoy. -
File Name: PC5 on a 5th gen VFR File Submitter: VFRBenny File Submitted: 30 Jan 2012 File Updated: 07 Feb 2012 File Category: Power Commander Maps Hi all, here's a map for the PC5 on a 5th gen VFR. As you can see from the pic, the air box has been hacked up pretty good. Using a PiperCross filter, Staintune hi mount, Pair's disabled and o2 sensors disabled. Runs like a batt out of Hell. Enjoy.

Something TomTom gives you free but Garmin wants $35. a year for! But this site offers them for $5. or $20. per year and they seem to work better than TT or Garmins stock stuff. Camera POI's main site
-
The XL 335s is many years ahead of this Nuvi550. In a car, the TT is much much better. If you need routes, waterproof, a big mph display and a few other things, the Garmin is the way to go.

Ya, I like Velcro! Will see how the mount holds up. I'm going to safety wire the cradle to the mount(just in case).
-
So I got caught in a heavy rain storm and my $100. TomTom got real wet and started flaking out! So I went on the hunt for something waterproof. I found REI had a demo of the Garmin Nuvi 550 for $210. Also bought a Gamin scooter mount for $25. Got the Camera poi's for $5. and it's working well.

$139. and they are a one size fits all.

More coils doesn't necessarily mean stiffer, do you know the actual kg rating of the springs. Curious on your 1200# rear spring, what do you weight? I'm about 220. The springs are rising rate and I dont know if the have a single kg weight, I counted 11 different coil rates.
-
The Hp springs had 8 more coils, I guess the valving change is the heavy oil.
-
Mine had no wear marks, as I removed them an cleaned when I did my shock swap. Maybe the chain/wheel was out of alinement or something?
-
2o weight oil? what is stock oil height on your 2000 model, and what oil height did hyper recommend? Dont know stock height. HyperPro is 130 mm.
-
No revalve, just springs and oil. The Penske was from my old gsxr and I had it reworked for the VFR. 1200 lb (21 kg) spring.
-
I dont know if there the best or not! I do know the bike handles like never before(in a good way). No oversteer, no understeer, no wallowing, no excessive dive under braking, all this and a smooth ride! I was hesitant to use the 20wt oil, but it turns out that the folks at HyperPro did there homework, as the bike handles like a dream. Also got my Penske shock dialed in. I'm ready for some all day twisty tours!
-
Been waiting on this one to get built, I got it in with little to no pain. Going to install my HyperPro fork springs in the morning.

Thanks man! I just bought the 3.5" model, as it looked to be a bit better built? Will see. For $66., if I dont like it, I can regift it!

Reminds me of my days in Praha!

I've got 4k on my Angel ST's with no sine of wear. They feel great!
