Every time that this stuff gets mentioned I can only think that it keeps these away.

One less person to chime in. Excellent! 😛 On a serious note, PSI isn't as important as folks think. You should see the variation at a track day for people who are all much faster than we are.

Mileage/longevity vs. grip...always the same. I run 36/42.

Unemcumbered by knowledge, I suspect that it pressurized the system only. I still remember when I was very young. A mechanic let me watch him bleed my car brakes. He removed the fluid from the master, put in new fluid, pumped the brakes and told me it was done. They're out there...

My '98 got the annual wash and wax, and it is looking goooood.

Glad to hear that you're on the mend, despite a little setback.

Hey all. I didn't see a note about radiator guards on here so I thought I'd just post on my bike thread. Do folks use model specific stuff, ro just some kind of mesh cable tied on like most use at track days? After another friend got a hole in his recently, I thought I'd put them on all of the bikes...so making them out of one piece of mesh would likely be a lot cheaper! Any info would be really helpful. Thank you.

That's magical mileage. I have 3k on my Roadsmart IIIs and I'm monitoring closely.

They look like old Dunlops, D207s were they?

Did you check simple things like fuses, connections, and switches?

Have fun, guys. I'm out for this one.

"And don't tell anyone I shared this one!" New is 3.08mm, so even the 1.13mm still has over 1/3 life left in it...if one was that frugal. Every single person I showed these to said to change them for new ones. 2.45mm...nearly new.

EBC pads are fine, I just don't care for them (or Galfer). Their marketing in the old days indicated that HH was something special, but it is really just OEM replacement. I've found them to wear rotors more than others. I run Vesrah RJL Original (actually more like OEM+!) on the track bikes and would also run them on the street if I ever wore out pads...I have a ton that I've bought for my bikes years ago. They're still on the shelf. Same with the cars. http://www.vesrah.tokyo/product-line/brake-pads/ Honda stock pads are pretty excellent and I've used them on prior Honda bikes. I also run them until they're done, but notice people change them w/2mm or so left...when they don't come with much more than that! (Send them to me! lol) Here's a pic of the ones on the CB-1. They've been like that for many years.

I've heard all of this countless times over the years. I do not understand how it can be wrong unless defective parts are involved. Maybe someone can clarify? Tighten and torque axle, then pinch bolts/calipers. How can a caliper be crooked? How can an axle be tight to spec...and be crooked?

Happens all of the time on Amazon, Ebay and others...but I'd never use EBC pads. 😛

For?

I think that we should require captions. I do not what what this is, what bike it is, or what may have been done. Regardless, I hope that you're happy with it. Also, can we not allow stupid thread subjects like "guess what" and "you'll never believe!" 🙂

Motobatt has them.

This is their 13" tri oval on my '00. I did not remove any parts/baffles.

5th generation, '98-'01. Plenty of power. Still sporty. Comfy.

Why not buy another VFR?

Lovely. My FJs were always a pleasure to ride.
