I thought about modifying it but since I do not have the equipment would be depending on an unknown shop to execute a clean job. In the end total cost would probably be near what I paid for the no doubter Honda rotor.

I ordered a Brembo rear rotor for my 2006 non ABS VFR800. Checked with multiple sources including Brembo itself and all said it was model 68B407M6. When it arrived 8 weeks later (they make them per order) it would not fit due to the the Brembo not having the 4 holes to accomodate the heads of the tire mounting bolts that protrude from the axle face. Fortunately they owned up to the mistake and refunded my money. This model is supposed to fit 1998 to 2012 VFRs. Big Fail. They could not determine which model, if any, would fit the VFR or what bikes the 68B407M6 does fit. Too bad. It was half the price of the Honda rotor I eventually purchased.

Sidestand it is. Yes there is a lot of confusing info out there.

Going to do a chain adjustment on a 6th gen and see differing opinions on whether to do it on the center stand or the side stand. Any input on this? Any additional tips will be appreciated. Looked for a guide in the maintenance section but did not find any.

So far looking like I can use the Castrol Multi Purpose Wheel Bearing grease I already have. It is a lithium complex NLGI #2 grease. So this is OK for both the ball and needle bearings?

Will be changing the rear brake disk on a 2006 non ABS VFR and am looking for some recommendations for grease to use on the bearing, spline and axle. Any thoughts?

This is an odd one. A 50cc Aprilia. https://www.mecum.com/lots/1129154/1996-aprilia-rs50/

Beautiful model, no reserve, dreaming is free. https://www.mecum.com/lots/1129126/1993-honda-vfr750r/?aa_id=642989-0

I don’t think they sell them a set. The rear is standard and you select the appropriate pin for your axle. The front ones do offer hybrid models that can also lift it from the front frame. Useful for front suspension or steering work.

I found out the hard way that if you rebuild the master the slave should also get rebuilt. Appears that pressure is greater after MC rebuild and slave may not be able to withstand it if not also rebuilt.

I have Pitbull front and rear stands. They look and perform like new despite over 10 years of use. Worth the extra $ for peace of mind. These bikes are heavy.

Might be a good idea to not mess with the bike while you haggle with the seller. The more wrench work you put on it while in your possession the more they will accuse you of being the cause.

I went through diagnosing a charging issue recently and found multiple excellent videos on Youtube for checking the stator and RR status with the procedure, multimeter settings and values clearly stated. A few were specifically for VFRs. I made a procedure list for the RR and stator tests so that the process was just to follow my detailed step by step list. Only test you might have issues with is with your RR model. My understanding is that unlike most RR’s yours cannot be fully tested without special equipment.

Do not know what generation year you have but for a 6th gen on page 20-27 of the shop manual which you can download from this forum you will find the procedure to test the turn signal relay which also checks the continuity of the wires to the bulbs. The other manuals offer the same test, just download the proper manual. This is assuming you have already checked that the bulbs are not burnt out.

I have used Seafoam for injector cleaning and storage stabilization and have found it to do a good job with no side effects. The cleaning effects I cannot measure but have never had any clogging issues in my 10 plus years of VFR ownership. I also use it in my cars mainly for the cleaning properties. Again no issues. It is something to add only every 3rd or 4th fill during riding season.
