My wife does not want to been seen with me....

Use red rubber grease, not just any oil based grease. The latter will likely bloat the rubber.

Bought a jar in 1985, still not empty 40 years on. Even after lending it to my pals.

Pigs do fly...

Dutchy drives an "American" car...

Going up

today...

Nuttin' wrong with a SP2 if you're a hard MF'r.....  

All VFR sites are equal,

but one is more equal than others.

It is called "VFRDISCUSSION.com"

Have you been riding in the rain or (power)washed your bike recently?

If the sparkplug holder cap was not on fully (or ripped), water may gave ingressed. Mixed with some accumulated dirt appearing to be oil.

If it looks, feels, smells and tastes like oil though..... 

Well, she will be "seeing Sarah" this year...

She's in good company

Okay...... 

Better safety wire them suckers...

Not really no.

Other than found 4 in a box in the shed... 

Time flies, kilometres rack up when you are having fun....

40,000km since I got her, so new sparkies and filter are due.

No irridium this time.

O° this morning, but dry.

So I keep commuting on the VFR.

Bit nippy today...

1:23km

Just because it can be done.... (proved to be a bit more "involved"..)

The OEM side carter is now a spare ornament..

Planning to ride some 7,000km on her this year, so new tyres are in order. The rear Yokohama (now Shinko) dates back to 1991.... 

Front brake powerrrrrr...

Back in 2016, I sold my 8 spoker after my crash in Lithuania.

Started looking for one recently, only to find that prices for one have gone ballictic...  

Congratulations!!!

Thanks VFRDiscussion

Nitron is a respected brand, as is YSS.

Key is to set it up for your weight and riding style.

2 kilo, 1.3 kilo.... sounds a lot...

Wakey wakey

When nature calls.....

Any port in a storm 

Well, it won't be the Canadians whose servicemen died in this crash, that's for sure.....

A nippy 0°c....

Lest we forget...

Any day now, I expect Trump to demand 500 billion kilos of Dutch cheese.....

Shorter update: I bought it!

 

I will be putting it on my blue 5th gen, so I will need to make a new mounting bracket and some other parts.

 

Ciao,

Veel plezier bij de RDW !

Hello Fabio,

Clean the pistons and sliding pins, then chane de fluid and live with it.

Yes I have changed brake line over the years (on VFR, VF, RC51 and recently Morini), but found that ethetics was the most improvment.

If one feels that VFR's brakes are inadequate (after cleaning) then I'd spend my money of buying fuel and improve braking skills by riding a lot. Throwing money at parts will never improve the underlying skillset.  Reading the road, anticipate...

YMMV...
