Re: Crashed my VTR... What about that tank.

Are you not on lockdown like the rest of us or is that an essential journey to get a loaf of bread??? 🤣😷🤣 Nope we are not locked down in Denmark the same way as in other places :wink: Different approach to the “situation” leading to the “thing” not spreading in our communities. We can still ride, o...

Re: Crashed my VTR... What about that tank.

Hi guys Don’t know if anyone cares but I promised an update after purchasing my CBR1000. It’s a totally different beast. Incredible build quality, handles so easy, and cornering is quite a bit quicker. And Pete, you’re right. It’s a sewing machine and it is fast as Hell. In that regard I’m happy to ...

Re: Crashed my VTR... What about that tank.

CBR1000RR 2006 instead A complete impulse buy but I'm looking forward to the spring though. It's crazy, I know I think you'll like it. Doesn't have the character of the VTR but it's sowing machine smooth and will scare you senseless at full throttle :thumbup: Pete.l I got a really good offer from a...

Re: Crashed my VTR... What about that tank.

Hi guys I gave up 😐 I put it on for sale here in Denmark, and a guy who obviously has more talent then I when it comes repairing crashed VTRs has bought it. I'm going to miss the V2 rumble, cause I bought a... CBR1000RR 2006 instead 😬 A complete impulse buy but I'm looking forward to the spring thou...

Re: Crashed my VTR... What about that tank.

Once again - thanks for your help and advice! I went to the winter storage again, just to check. The nut is on the "wrong" side of the bike. https://i.postimg.cc/dL4jD0LS/20200117-125328.jpg Obviously this bolt needs to be taken out which is way beyond my capabilities. The bike would most ...

Re: Crashed my VTR... What about that tank.

Hi guys So I went to the winter storage today just to see if it was all just a bad dream. It wasn’t... Anyway - the tank seems to be a 19LTR. See pic bellow. I wonder why it’s always “empty” after 13 LTR, but I guess it’s the sender unit as suggested by Chris. It also has the digi clocks. I actually...

Re: Crashed my VTR... What about that tank.

Hi guys Thanks for replying. I’ll check my tank then. I’ll stop by the winter storage tomorrow and have a look. Here’s a picture of the tank I might be buying. There is a diaphragm tap as far as I can see which makes it a 16l tank then. If mine turns out to be a 19l - will the 16l tank fit my bike a...

Crashed my VTR... What about that tank.

Hi guys, I crashed. For the first time ever. At the tremendous speed of 15km/h. I feel like an idiot. Is was suddenly icy, I wasn’t focused for 2 seconds, and the bike disappeared underneath me. It was on the way to winter storage! Bummer. Anyway, it’s my blue 2001 updated VTR and I can’t find the p...

New member and new on VTR1000

Helloooo everyone I just got my first VTR1000 Firestorm and I'm thrilled! She's from 2001, the updated version. What a ride, love the sound with the Scorpions in the back :D I came from a Suzuki Bandit and must admit that I was a bit worried about the clunky gearbox :? It goes "CL-CL-CL-ClunkSc...
