Thanks @Mad Mike - that's good - and very specific ! - intel. Do you have experience with these bikes in particular? I just ordered a set of rubber gaskets and o-rings on eBay based on the recommendations of a guy on one of the VF500F FB groups. Maybe should have done some more research as...

Yeah, I think you're thinking of me. I have an 87 F1. I had it running but not road worthy. And I bet I know who bought that bike in the ad. I have pretty much everything the bike in the listing had. What I don't have is - pretty much everything the bike in the listing doesn't have. That...

Decided to focus on one of my project VF500s, instead of working on both of them together. At first planned to work primarily on the first bike I bought as I had already done some stuff like change fluids, etc. Was about to take good starter solenoid from bike #2 and put it on bike #1 - which...

LOL. I'm working on it. Or should I say, I'm working on convincing my wife ;) Plan B is to sell a bunch of wood working equipment to make room for a few bikes inside.

On my way home with the bike, a guy pulled me over. Turned out he had a V65 Sabre, recognized the Interceptor, and wanted to talk. He said he had exactly the same problem - stuck fuel lock, which he solved by doing as you suggest: bringing the helmet lock to a locksmith. All that would...

Don't put it past me! I'm one to go down rabbit holes. Years ago I did order a cheap lock pick set online and downloaded some books on it. I couldn't get the set to work, a girl at work picks locks and she said the set was crap and the "gun" didn't work. So...anybody got a beginner's lock...

Today I went to seal up all the holes (coolant line, fuel line, spark plug wells, etc) that the PO had open while he was working on it to prevent critters from getting in. I decided to take a look at the tank. From the outside it's very clean, but as the PO had not been able to open the tank...

Thanks, all. I am super excited to have the plastics in the colour ways of my dreams, and in such good condition. Unfortunately, the weather is getting colder so my window of opportunity for wrenching on it – which I have to do outside – is rapidly closing. I don’t know if I’m going to be able...

Haven't had much time to work on this project except for pulling off random parts and tossing them in the ultrasonic or Evaporust, just to feel like I'm making *some* progress. But... yesterday another VF500F came up on Marketplace. The plastics were in much better condition than mine, and...

@Amazon - after almost 4 months, I was finally able to take my wheel and tire into Frank at New to You Tire. Called him on a Friday afternoon, he said to come on down, within 5 minutes of getting there I was on my way back home. Highly recommend.

My wife resists switching just because she has to adjust. I resist because I am lazy.

Finally got my Multistrada back on the road after a long adventure with a seized bolt. After all that, actually getting the wheel off was trouble free (though I'm surprised I was able to locate the parts I had removed months ago). Called Frank at New to You Tire in Barrie (somebody here...

I was up to North Bay this weekend. Leaves are turning, but still lots of green.

Point taken about magnitude of difference in premiums between companies. Is it true that switching policies is a red flag for companies and switching policies often moreso? I can imagine that it could be - but then that would run counter to the reality that these companies run expensive ad...

My last bike was a Kawasaki Z400. Riders also had the best quote on that. That's the sum total of my experience insuring road bikes. But I do understand different companies are looking for different risk profiles to round out their portfolios. I understood the whole purpose of brokers like...

A few years back I called maybe 8 different places -both insurance companies (including TD, I believe) and brokers. Riders Plus had the best quotes for me then and with the Multistrada I bought in 2024 I did (and still do) have stuff with Desjardins as well as a broker who has our house and...

Who are you with? Today I called the broker who has gotten me the best rates in the past (Riders Plus) to see what the incremental cost would be to add a Vespa GTS 250. They quoted me $700 with no comprehensive, ~$800 with comprehensive. I have a Multistrada 1200 with them for about $1050...

It's a good thought about temperature sensitivity. I have thought about whether tire pressures were too low at the start of the ride, which then goes away as the tires warmed up. It does seem like the problems seem more common at the start of rides. They would often go away as the ride...
