It hasn't happened to me a lot.

Check the fuel filter as well, that could give you a measurement of fuel enough for ten minutes if it keeps blocking up. I have been the last couple of days trying to strip the rear hub on the VFR, first I couldn't get the circlip that holds the brake plate in place to come out, it was corroded in p...

Is it possible to fit the old style C90 legshields and exhaust onto an Innova?
It could be a very cool machine.

Pisses me off that Crunchies are so expensive now, they used to be so cheap and plentiful.

My mate had one on the road this year, I never rode it as I never had my gear with me, I kind of regret it, but then again, I don't regret it...

I am ok with it being perceived as an old man's machine. It keeps them cheap. Let everyone else pay over the odds for GSXR's and other sports bikes of the same era. I shall be comfortable on mine and just as quick. In my opinion nothing sound better than VFR. Also if the Police pull me over I can de...
