Nice mod, thanks for sharing! :fing02:

oops, er.., ehm, :goofy:...what we was talking about? What's the weather in Carolina? :blush: No worries, Timmy's a great Guy and Good Cop with a great sense of humor! :fing02:

Timmy is both kind and nasty police! :laughing6-hehe:

Fresh Bumping his contact numbers! :fing02: BR

So what's up with this lately?

Thax SF, so no need to worry about any of the unplugged wires? no Fi light or anything bad from disconnecting any of this? BR

Very cool, glad your back at it! I plan on getting back to mine soon also! :rolleyes: BR

BaileyRock, dude... Sorry if I misled you to a small disaster with the ATF suggestion. Works great in homemade manometers. I didn't know you had Motion Pro. No Worries Whatsoever! It was worth a try! :angry: I ended up blowing up the tool with compressed air during a second clean out attempt, so it's toast now! :blush:

Did you keep the mercury?? I wonder if mine is low or something. I seem to get air bubbles while running. If I shut it off, then back on, it is a solid column, then starts to get air pockets again. :angry: Originally I though all the mercury was gone, but found some in the chamber which I poured out into a container. then cleaned it up and added ATF which was a major failure as it was just sucked up into the engine no matter what I did! :dry: Then I thought WTH I'll try the mercury again and bingo it worked pretty decent, but ATF and other crap got all mix in and messed up it's performance! I plan to drain the merc again and try a re-clean to see what happens. :blush: BR

Need a different mamometer, mine is junk! :cheerleader:

I use ATF in my homemade manometer (description) because: - It has a high viscosity so it moves slowly and acts as a natural damper - it is red so it is very visible - it won't likely harm the throttle body or engine if it accidentally gets sucked in (not likely anyway with the long hoses I use - it's cheap and readily available Well ATF doesn't work in the Motion Pro tool like HS used, it just gets sucked out of the tubes! :biggrin: I saved enough mercury from the tool and put it back in and it works pretty good now. Actually attempting a Started valve synk now and having a few problems! Idle adjustment cable broke! :idea3: My RPM function doesn't work on my Multi tool! :squid: All cyls fluctuate except #2 which is rock steady. Not really sure what should or should Not be connected to do these adjustments! (Map, vacuum lines, sensors, etc.)? :lobby:

You're manoneter lost all it's fluid! Isn't that more of an issue for a doctor and not a mechanic? :huh: Some women like the idea of shooting blanks! Not that I am! :mellow: Thanks on the ATF Bart!

I really need to try this one day on my 75k mile 02! Good write-up btw! ps my manoneter has lost all it's fluid, whats a decent replacement? BR

Hi and welcome to VFRD! :laughing6-hehe: Yes, lowering the VFR is very easy, at the bottom of the rear shock there are two triangle plates and all you have to do is rotate them one bolt hole and it drops teh rear about 1 1/2" if I remember correctly. Then just slide the forks up in the triple to lower the front the same amount or slightly less. :excl: Should be a write-up somewhere on the triangle plates. BR

Those Texan's are all big Showoffs! :dry: And some actually deserve our admeration! Fantastic job Doug! :laughing6-hehe: BR

Sounds like a great day, I would love to attend something similar. Nice to see you pick out the PACE in what they taught! :fing02: BR

Didn't you get some instructions from DB?

Hi and Welcome to VFRD! :fing02: What tires and pressures are you running? 36/42 is almost ideal pressures. I would think it would be more of a tire issue than forks unless it's some hack rebuilt wreck! :cheerleader: Set sag rates to your weight asap (search forms)and if you weigh over 160lbs the VFR is sprung to soft for you in general! Not sure what your talking about with the movement on teh side stand! :fing02:
