Sorry about the short notice, but the weather is too good to pass up. Should be riding Tuesday by 11 or noon for 4-5 hours in a big loop. Full Day Wednesday to routes 129/28 and back in a big loop, skipping running the gap. Anyone is welcome to join me. Let me know if you're coming.

Describe "how" you're riding it, please.

It is worth noting that the sizes on the sidewalls aren't accurate, but more of a swag. One would need to visit the MFG site get true measurements.

Is it the bike in your sig or something else? Coils? Electrical components change with heat, so they can work better when hot or worse. Maybe worth checking coils, plugs, wires for spec. I'm not sure how heat could change symptoms in the fuel circuit unless it is the pump, which also has a spec.

Forgot to post a few pics on the CB-1 bits to be clear. Previous owner took the dead pump off and tried gravity feed, which doesn't work. I put a proper used pump on for a while, then discovered that many pumps would work...even the connector is the same, but on shorter wires. An extender with a plug on each end would also work. I soldered. The rest of the plumbing is from stainless beer making parts...because Honda parts are NLA. It CAN be done!

Not sure about your bike, but Many of the Honda pumps are the same with only different lengths of wire on them. I needed one for my old CB-1 and just ordered a new(er) one from a cruiser and lengthened the wires.

In my best Jack Nicholson..."is there another kind?"

I wasn't going to post the same but...you're very bold for the conditions! Maybe your driveway users are better than ours.

I never get invited anywhere! 🙂 I hope that you guys had fun!

No takers for a mountain ride to keep cool, so we stuck it out and went around the loacl lakes an hour east of me. It is always a beautiful ride, but NC sure has let the roads go downhill the last decade or so. Nearly every right turn had some level of gravel from the center to much of the road. The centers are all beat up with those left to right ribs every few feet making it feel like you're riding over a washboard, and there are frequent whoops which have caused me to tighten rebound damping on all of the bike shocks to try to keep from being pushed up out of the seat. A great reminder of whay I do so many track days! Still a nice day riding with an old friend on his Tuono. I miss the old NC I moved here for!

Mine works like your last note...so I guess that I'm good! 200 miles seem pretty easy to get to before reserve.

Trigger blanks? I just got back from the range. 🙂

I'm considering spending a day in the cooler mountains Sunday. Anyone interested? Probably be out of Morganton or maybe Marion.

Love the white. Curious styling. What's the rear seat cover from?

Been there on the track bike!

Look up parts on servicehonda.com.

That a bummer!

Welcome! Not sure about specialists...but afficionados, for sure! 🙂 What's going on?

There was indeed a white VFR1200 sighting at CMP on Saturday!

Hey all. Weather is looking pretty good during "hot track" time range both days. Come join us in Ketshaw, SC! https://www.n2td.org/calendar/

We'll need some TRX riding video with audio...please.

VTRs are awesome! I've owned a few too. A former friend got that 500 as his first bike while I had a GS700ES.

With the clutch in all of the way?

Welcome!

What is battery voltage with key off and on?
