I think i bought the last rt side case cover on partzilla. The spring ride was one of the first thing i thought of. I havn't seen it on the forum yet, is there a date scheduled?

Finally got her back on the road today, after laying her down year and a half ago, replacing the PC2 that died w/PC5 and remapped, repairing rear shock that was clogged from pieces of the bump stop from running to much preload, replacing rear brake MC, and getting the emulsified family of mice out of my swingarm... It wouldn't bother me as much if i had laid it down on the left side. Patina? lol Always proud to follow a Mohawk post...

Not internal or splines, its between the sprocket and retaining bolt and washer. I use a lighter weight front without the attached rubber. I think I will add and additional washer as a spacer.

Im changing my sprockets, I guess I've never payed attention but the front sprocket has some play against the 14mm retaining bolt is that normal? i have wear on the outside facing portion of both the front and rear sprocket none on the inside facing. Curious if that seems normal or an alignment issue? 78C633A3-4A60-41EE-A20F-DCE5816080B9.heic DB6ACF97-2333-4372-AF28-440CC5B99731.heic mice made a home in my swing arm, what a mess, i had to tear the whole back end down and take the swingarm off BEA96D28-6086-497E-ABC9-4921A1E34320.heic 19A72695-03D0-4E1C-929E-C981CCFE80C3.heic

Ive got it, ill let you know. 15mm, and it has half as much movement outward after contact with the ground

Hey Mohawk! I got lucky and saw a newish set of 2004-2007 on ebay which looked slightly longer, so for $49 i gave it a shot, and as suggested they are perfect. The GSXR with the top seal would be nice but i had added an additional o ring, "great minds". The insulation that was starting to rust on the 2008, the 2007 have an addition exterior coating which should help, cost cutting in 2008 i guess. I laid the bike down year and half ago, and got side tracked on a tesla model 3, only so much i could do to it "thank god" suspension, brakes and wheels. Just got the bike back in shape. Have a Dyno and mapping session scheduled tomorrow, so should be all systems go. Thanks for the replies

I was able to fit the cbr1000 side stand directly to the vfr bracket. The only other thing i wanted was the cut off switch which i also had to use from the cbr. As far as i can remember it mounted up easily. If it took a shim or two, if i could figure it out, it will not be a problem for you Seb. Recently had to purchase a new side stand as the alloy cbr stand foot wears from repeated use on payment. I used one from a 2014 cbr1000sp thinking i may be the tallest option. i think it was $125-150ish new for the stand and switch.

all three

Is there a conscious on what the best COP to use on a 5th gen. I had one leaking if thats the correct term, the current was jumping through the insulation when it shocked me, and wasn't firing the plug I used " I dont remember the year" a CBR1000 wiring harness and COP's. They feel like they are just barely long enough to make contact with the plug and i dont have an external seal which i dont know if necessary but the COP are slightly rusting, i dont know if thats normal wear, or could have caused it to fail? Any suggestions?

Got it. On the side stand I let get to 200 with an aggressive throttle and a towel over the radiator. Thx

Any tricks for burping a 5th gen. Its acting like I've got an air pocket, when its starts to get hot it go's quick then stabilizes when fan kicks on, and making never before significant gurgling when turned. i ridden multiple times thinking it would find its way up and throttle while on the side stand.

Hey Rush, Ive been off line for the last 12 months also "Life". Seb's amazing work sucked us all right back in. 😉

Seb, Thanks for the detailed post. Beautiful! Great job!

Im not on the forum regularly anymore, and when i do get on i usually have a PM asking about this build and or how to find the post. It has been archived, can find if googled. Im asked if i still have and ride. Yes regularly 67,000 miles running as strong as ever, and added a Dymag CBR600F4I front wheel and EBC rotors recently. Laid it down last fall (cold tires sat behind slow moving cars way to long and then to aggressive on very next turn, which my pride was hurt most of all when those two cars passed me as i was trying to pick her up, LOL. So has all new right side just needs fairing touched up. I am glad everything is aftermarket on the bike because a lot "new" OEM parts are not available any more. 399lb VFR848, was not the best choice for topic name, but i think in down to 396 dry.

I have a lighter weight newly black powder coated CBR F4I front wheel and rotors that was on my bike last year, that are plug and play if needed.
