  1. My '98 also pulls smoothly from down low to redline.  I wonder if clogged injectors could cause this behavior?  Is this condition constant?  Never varies?  You mention it's worse in warm weather.  Air filter new/clean?  Also wonder if you adjusted the starter valves properly.  I remember one member being surprised that he had adjusted them opposite of what he thought the manual indicated.

    Here you go. This is the 8th Gen F-H model: it's a standard 12v socket. Actually not great for wet weather unless you can find some way to weatherproof the adaptor

    I mean, who doesn't need to light their ciggies while riding down the road?

  3. Wow-that is a great write-up.  Thanks for that.  A buddy of ours bought bike when I bought my '98 new and loved it but sold it soon thereafter because he was scared he was going to get hurt or killed.  He wasn't accustomed to fast bikes so it was sad for him to sell it.  I wish I had to skills to do what you did to yours.  Maybe when I retire I can delve into the specifics of some of those tasks you completed.

  4. I replaced the front wheel bearings after having my wheels powder coated-they unfortunately powder coated the entire wheel, including where the wheel bearing sits so had to dremel that out which was tedious as hell.  I had the opposite problem-one of the bearings went in normally but the other one had to be pounded in and I was worried there was still residual power coating inside but once mounted they work fine.  I wonder-would it matter if the wheel bearing wasn't snug inside the rim?  The spacers will hold everything in place, right? 

  5. Thank you for the many years you kept this valuable site active and engaging.  I will miss it tremendously, as I rely on the vast knowledge and experience found here to keep my '98 running and looking good.  I want to thank every member here who has given me advice and shared their knowledge.  I guess we could all migrate over to the "other VFR site".  I'm a member there but never visit anymore......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................20200905_112413.thumb.jpg.92629c55fdf222e9c9a1b184f1cbad5b.jpg

    So I was thrilled by the power my 8G has now after the header install, How about you? Was the power increase acceptable/delectable to you? 😉 Curious if I'm just being biased because I spent the money? I didn't get any before/after dino runs, but the seat of the pants dino showed a noticeable improvement in passing power, 

    Absolutely-using the map done at Attack Performance the increase in thrust was significant especially at higher rpms.
