I remember looking at a VFR 1200 when they first came out, I never rode it or sat on it but it didn’t look nearly as comfortable as the 800. I’m turning 60 this year and wouldn’t want to ride to Halifax on either of those two bikes.

Yes, a lot of people just can’t get past the fact that it’s a twin, I was one of them until I rode one.

If I were to go the sport touring route again I would seriously consider an older BMW 1250 RT . My Buddy lent me his for the day this summer and I absolutely fell in love with it. More comfortable than my ST1300 and just handled way nicer and felt much lighter and more agile. Transmission felt a...

So I’ve had two fifth generation VFR 800’s from new, a ‘99 and an ‘01 which I absolutely loved. In 2008 was looking to replace my VFR but didn’t care much for the current VTEC version. I came across a killer deal from Brampton Cycle on an ST1300 ($13,700 + HST) . I thought it would be similar...

The problem with the installation as shown in the video is that you could potentially have two sources of power in the box that the switch/receptacle is mounted in - power from your panel as well as power from your generator. An inspector would definitely have a problem with that.

That is correct. You also have to have a means of isolation (a switch) next to the furnace, you don’t generally put them ON the furnace as they show in the video. It has to be on a dedicated circuit. The wiring from the switch back to the panel does not need to be in BX. If I were to do this...

The neutral for the furnace becomes isolated when you unplug it from the switch/receptacle.

A couple of things come to mind reading this thread. 1) Lay your tires out in the sun on your driveway for an hour or two before mounting them and they will go on much easier. Sport bike tires will literally fall onto the wheel. 2) I use to go down to the AMA superbike races every year between...

I always put 20 amp receptacles in garages. Same amount of work, breaker and receptacles cost the same.The only difference is the slightly higher cost of 12 guage wire as opposed to 14 guage but well worth it.

That Carbtune has only been used once My apologies. I sold one a couple of weeks ago to someone on this forum. I thought it was you but I was wrong.I must have sucked on those old mercury gauges one too many times.

That Carbtune has only been used once so I don’t think it will be very dirty inside. I would try using it and see what happens. See if the rods rise in the columns when it’s running, they should flutter up and down a bit , maybe 1 or 2mm but that’s normal and you know that it’s working properly

I agree, the rods are a pretty snug fit in the tubes. I’m not sure that they are suppose to move too freely

Just realized if you turn it upside down or shake it with the restrictors on , the rods probably won’t move much because it has to force the air through those tiny restrictors which are literally the size of a hair. Try taking the restrictors and or hoses off when you turn it upside down

i would just shake it to loosen the rods up a bit. It’s been sitting for a few years.If you remove the rods to clean them , make sure you put them back into the tubes you removed them from , I think they’re calibrated.

Did you try turning it upside down to se if the rods move freely? Also, as GreyGhost said, avoid sucking on mercury gauges.

The “restrictors” are there so that the gauges give a smooth accurate reading.Without them the stainless rods would fluctuate up and down wildly with each vacuum pulse from the cylinder. Not sure if you would be a able to such k hard enough to move those stainless rods, l’ve never tried but I...
