WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY TO YOUR VFR 6TH GEN ?
VARIABLE9 replied to VFRUNNER's topic in Sixth Generation VFR's
I reinstalled the battery from the workbench charger, and took it for a nice fall ride. If not somewhat windy. -
New levers, lost auto-rpm increase in first

Shoulda stuck with CHINESIUM. Oh no I mean OEM. -
All good, I didn’t take it as personally directed towards me. Just want to move the thread forward versus a continual discussion on levers.
-
Well I appreciate the video, but I think I’m good. Read my posts. I get it quality or OEM is recommended. The CHINESIUMs were just to check out shortys on the VFR. I determined I need a longer clip on to effectively place the controls for optimum fingering. Now I will move forward, over time, sourcing some higher quality levers and choosing longer clip ons. FYI I was in Scotland. In a car. 🤔
-
I am considering how I can make it work. Helibars or LSL clip ons are what I’m considering. It’s a future project though. I still have the exhaust to mount. I’ve been bogged down parting out my SV. Plus I just spent a long weekend in Austin for the F1. 😁

I wish I had monetized this thread! Lol Yup, the OEM are fine. I just hate the length. FWIW the adjustment range isn’t any better than a stocker, and due to where the master cylinders are located (close to end of grips due to clip on length) I can’t really move anything around to make the ‘two finger’ part of the shorty OMG THEY'RE CHINESE KNOCK OFFS levers work that great in my hand. But honestly guys they’re fine.

No debate. Rotella is for trucks. Chinese levers seem to be fine. And the holy trinity of new owner mods (PAIR, flapper, and snorkel) are just placebo. -

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! -
So I'm rebuilding my crashed Suzuki SV1000S.

I have one complete if anyone needs one. 😀 2004/2005 GSXR600/750 - radial mc, ss lines, triples, forks, axle, wheel, cf front fender -
A Dyson vacuum!

The VFR is still waiting for me to install the Arrow exhaust. I’ve been trying to ride whenever possible, both for fun and for utility. Besides that I’ve been working on replacing a clutch unit. See photo below. 🤣 I really appreciate the ASV’s are ‘made in the USA’ but they are too Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare looking for me.
-
Such a divisive issue.
-
Pics or it didn’t happen. You’re in NJ so I’m especially skeptical.

VARIABLE9 replied to VFRUNNER's topic in Sixth Generation VFR's
I rode 100mi round trip for some errands today. Mostly slab. Still felt good though. Gave me a chance to put my new MZS levers through their paces and they seemed to work like levers. -
Welcome aboard!
-
I lost that lovin feelin for my last motorcycle. Didn't ride it for two years. Then I bought my VFR and I try to ride every chance I get. Like today.
-
Very cool!

I have a 2007 and my mirrors fold up. Looking at the fiche it fits 2002-2009, and seems to be the same as I have. Do you (or I?) have non OEM mirrors fitted? e.g. Honda MIRROR, R. BACK Part # 88110-MCW-D01

A nice pic I saw of the 07 RWB on the track

Pretty. -
Old school!

Newb with (not so) sad first post...thanks fellas!
VARIABLE9 replied to vfreli's topic in Sixth Generation VFR's
That’s good it’s straight. I broke a case via similar issue (not masterlink, but loose chain+suspension) on my YZ250 20+ years ago. JB weld is still holding a piece of the crankcase together.
