Authoritative VF/VFR FAQ
This FAQ is intended to supplement the Honda and Clymer manuals, NOT replace them. In our opinion, anyone who isn't experienced in the procedure in question has no business wrenching on a bike without a manual, especially where safety-related systems such as brakes are concerned. The intent is to provide tips that don't appear in the manuals, and to relate list members' experiences on a variety of topics that frequently are brought up on the VF/VFR list. Obviously, we cannot be responsible for any adverse consequences to your bike or your person. Wrench at your own risk.
