squirrelman

it's quite a good brake, dutchy, cast-iron ventilated floating rotor with alot of power, kinda heavy though.

factory manual indicates 16,000 mile service intervals, and if not re-greased they usually need replacement by about 35-40,000 miles........in my experience.

shamefully and humbly i'm admitting to the entire VFR universe, all 7 continents, and all the ships at sea that i was wrong, wrong, wrong. it does have hollow axles. SORRY ! 😮 i've only been working on VFR's for 29 years but shoulda known better.

OK, good for squirrels then

sorry, but i believe that both axles on MY '86 VFR's are not hollow but i may be wrong. 😒

wha ?? that bloody axle isn't hollow like alot of modern bikes. 😒

metal is thin on swingarm, not ok for drilling or welding, so find a rear stand with flat plates that go under.

check the charging system output. consider cleaning and gapping or replacing plugs. signs suggest you may need use a bit of cardboard to block about 1/4 of the radiator. have you checked float levels ? blow out/clean air filter, and check tightness of carb boot clamps. even one leaky float needle or improper float level setting could be causing your symptoms.

so you're an uber-macho sicko who enjoys killing harmless animals ?😱

gopher's lives matter !

my sad experience with uni filters is that they crumble to dust after just a few years, seems like the filter oil eats 'em up.

how could it be legal to smoke reefa in canada and illegal to have a non-conforming light switch ?

look at the O-rings with a 10X magnifier to see the real imperfections. seems like they always leak through the rusty crusty buildup. going through the manual's "idle drop" adjustments might be necessary.......after all and a plug color comparison.

yes, connect the similar color wires, green to ground. black, look in the wiring diagram.
