Moving onto different motorcycles

They might work! I also have no cush in my tush. I need to do some squats! -

Question for those using Purolator oil filters PL14610/PL14612
bmart replied to styran's topic in Sixth Generation VFR's
You want the one(s) that have the same specs for the obvious (size, thread, etc.) but also relief valve PSI, bypass relief, and drain back valve. One I started for my vehicles: -
Chain maintenance and adjustment after 8k miles (VIDEO)
bmart replied to VicSev93's topic in Fifth Generation VFR's
That is the only "product" I've used with consistent excellent results. It has gotten expensive.- 2 replies

- chain maintenance
- basic maintenance

You're missing out on the used sprocket business. 🙂
-
Your expectations have some holes. 🙂

There's some truth to that. At track days, people swap chainwheels all of the time without, obviously changing the other sprocket or chain. It may reduce chain wear, but one has to offset the cost of the chain for it to make sense. Materials also matter a lot. Steel lasts SO much longer. My track bikes got 5k miles like clockwork, regardless of great care. Also, people have different levels of tolerance for smoothness, adjustments, etc. Never give up. Never surrender. 🙂

Those are the standard Chinese kiddo made ones. I also have them on nearly all of my bikes. I did try an alternative on the '00.

Lovely. I can't even keep mine clean. 🙂

You don't see that bike in the background...sounds like a vision/focus issue. 🙂

Flex them a little and see if they move like intended...or if they "dustify!"

Current stock? Maybe they used old stock pads. OEM pads are pretty crappy...i've "powdered" many of them. It isn't right, but it is. Most never even check them...but they'll find out if they need them! I still put them in my gear, but generally wear a mesh shell with real armor under everything but my Vanson gear, which has excellent armor that stays in place. It burns me up that they put crap armor in cordura, then let it flop all over in there, no where near our hard parts.

All pads of that era do that. Pads aren't lifetime use. Bohn makes nice ones I just put in mine.

In my life, I can recall one time that a fastener with a torque setting "just came loose" after being torqued properly. Once. And I'm 100% anti lock-tite, so I use it on nothing.
-
I safety wired mine on years ago. Works fine. 🙂
-
I'm not saying it doesn't need to be done...but I don't buy anything with corrosion or bad tanks. Even after many miles...that stuff seems to last forever if cared for. Or...I'm just lazy.

Any pics of the pistons? I'm curious what was wrong with them as I've never needed to replace pistons (or O-rings, for that matter) in a caliper.
-
Really? You can't do that and not tell us what the car is and share pics! Mean, mean VFR rider!
