Studded tyres? Ciao,

You clearly did not learn your lesson! Very nice looking bike. Ciao,

Is Hans Dulfer still playing? I saw him a couple of times when I was in Leiden and back visiting for the Leidse Jazz Festival. I even have his CD! Ciao,

I suppose it's possible, but I haven't seen any batteries test at 12.8v as described above and fail a load test, though. There would have to be an internal breakage or something. Ciao,

I think you mean "surface charge"? Anyway, I misunderstood Rick's message: if he tested the battery immediately after charging it overnight and disconnecting the charger, then the voltage reading would be unreliable. A load tester is not absolutely necessary, but you do need to remove the surface charge before testing (by leaving the battery disconnected for several hours and turning on the headlights for a couple of minutes). Then, a reading of 12.8v would indicate a good battery! Ciao,

At 12.8v overnight it's absolutely fine! Ciao,

M8 socket caps take 6mm hex. Ciao,

I'm not sure if I like the red or the black. I'll keep looking and let you know later... Ciao, -
Before embarking upon my swing arm swapping escapade, I had no idea there were so many different OEM Honda 13-spline front sprockets. So I made this chart (using JT sprockets data). HTH. Ciao,

I believe Jamie machines a shoulder into the 929 shock body, which mates with the new extended part, making an entirely solid, but extended, shock body. It's a robust design, but requires that he machine the actual shock. I'm working on a 30mm extension for my RC36/RC30 swing arm project, and I've gone with the extended top bracket idea, mainly because this doesn't require any machining of the bike frame or my Ohlins, and I need to include a 5mm offset to avoid spring/swing arm interference.

Hi JZH, Thank you for your donation of $100.00. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion -
A "superbike bar conversion" is what you want. I'm sure they were made for the 5th gen, but not sure if they're still available. Here's an ABM on UK eBay: 112074277263 I thought LSL also made them? Here's a long thread on this sort of thing. Ciao,

As awesome as it is, I don't think I want to be taking it around a corner! Ciao,

Single Nut Conversion Vfr800 Hrc Rc45 Style - One More:-)
JZH replied to VFRRR's topic in Modifications
There are international standards, such as DIN and JIS, for bolts, nuts, washers, etc., and most aftermarket fasteners are made to meet these standards so that an "M8 cap screw" is interchangeable with any other "M8 cap screw". But many motorcycle-specific fasteners are not manufactured to any particular standard. I was just suggesting one reason why the "titanium BMW S1000R rear brake disc bolts" I had purchased from different suppliers had 1mm different head heights. Only the ones sourced from BMW are guaranteed to be correct for a BMW; the ones supplied by the low-volume titanium fastener companies I was using are a bit hit-and-miss. This is an RC36 axle/disc set-up to run an un-modified RC46 rear wheel (using the BMW bolts mentioned above). Head height was critical because the wheel flange fit flush to the axle surface. Ciao,

I see you're using narrow-head M8 bolts for the brake disk. I found that titanium BMW S1000R disk bolts were almost perfect when I wanted to be able to use an RC46 rear wheel on my RC36 rear axle. However, I found that some aftermarket bolts had thicker heads than others! Maybe this is possible because this bolt is not in a DIN form? Ciao, -
You can use 15w oil, but as OEM spec is 5wt, that doesn't seem such a good idea to me! Ciao,

If he does, I hope they're still selling petrol then! Ciao,

What?!?! There's a motorbike-related tool I do not own? Tell me more! Ciao,

Is there a thread about fitting 6th gen rearsets to a 5th gen? Straight parts swap? Cheers,
-
That's what it reminded me of, too! I was surprised to see how faithfully the paint scheme had been followed, however. Interestingly (?), the Japanese-market 1990 VFR750FL had "Advanced Super Sport" stickers on the rear cowl. -
Sadly, they're not on the Wayback Machine; I checked. Ciao,

Veefer800Canuck, I believe. Ciao,

I have the Garmin ones; they work through my Zumo 590. I have them mounted on Bridgeport aluminum 90-degree valve stems. They work, but the Zumo has trouble keeping in radio contact with them, so I frequently get "sensor not connected" error messages, which is an annoyance. But most of the time they do work, and I suppose they are accurate (when they're connected!) One thing I like about TPMS is that you usually get an alarm or warning when the pressure goes below a certain point, which you can choose separately for each tire. Ciao,
