Alright. I finally got around to testing the old thermostat. It opened around 185 and was fully open around 205, according to the precise and...
I've seen pictures of master links that were so overtightened, the o-rings bulged out. I wouldn't be surprised if some he-man tech tightened the...
Thanks gang! I'll let you know how this pans out when the weather gets warmer. I've been able to sneak one ride in so far this February, but...
The fan is fine, except the sucking-in-instead-of-blowing-out design. I ordered a VTR1000F fan blade to see if that will help in slower traffic,...
I didn't want to do all the work of getting to the thermostat unless it was absolutely necessary... but I realized I might as well bite the bullet...
My 2000 VFR doesn't seem to cool itself well anymore. As in, running at 70mph+ for twenty minutes in 75 degree weather, the temp hovered around...
I ordered the seals & related bits online, but I wound up just cleaning around the seal with a business card, and the leak stopped--must've been...
The right fork seal on my Y2K is leaking. I'm pretty much a newb, never monkeyed with the settings, I couldn't tell you the difference in...
I doubt I really got 35 mpg--I'm thinking the previous time I filled up, the bike was on the sidestand, so that could explain it. Another...
big little difference Today I fit 5.3 gallons with the bike on the centerstand. Level was up to the very top. I only got 185ish miles on this...
Well that's just plain false advertising. Honda fails us again!:biggrin: Am I right to assume all fuel injected engines require a fuel pump?
I'll try to remember and put it on the centerstand in the future. Not that I'm gonna try running it that close again...:eek:
Aside from the porky weight and the cornering clearance, it looks okay to me; more appealing than a Gold Wing or their cruiser lineup. If I had...
I ran out of gas for the first time. It just sputtered out at a stop sign, restarted but felt kinda hesitant in the curves, then died at the...
I tried a pump-style bleeder once, it sucked air in because I couldn't get it to seal with the bleed valves. I found it much simpler to just put...
Distilled water sounds like a good idea. Anybody else use distilled water, or am I the only putz this has never ocurred to?
I'm curious as to what caused the problem originally--no spark? Bad gas? Sorry, I can't find a flatulence smiley, but you know what I mean.
Yup. [IMG] $10 at Checker.
:welcome: Curiously, did you have the clutch pulled in when braking? I can't remember what publication tested stopping distances with the...
I saw this pretty little thing on Franklin Ave a block east of East River Parkway. Is very nice! :ncb: [IMG] Third gen, I presume?
