It does sound like something is up with your bike. I don't notice any fumes when riding mine (85000km). Do you get high fuel consumption? The ECM...
I agree with that diagnosis, sounds like the seal on the master cylinder piston has failed e.g. a crack or some debris is caught in it. A master...
I tried the flapper deactivation and it did nothing for me or my VFR...made a bit more noise at low revs from the airbox but I couldn't detect any...
I thought it might be alongside Lake Dunstan between Cromwell and Clyde.
Welcome Mark. I'm in the Other Island and have only ridden your area once on the way to the Burt Munro in 2018; certainly a fantastic area for...
I was following a good friend on his then-new GPz900R and his bike was intercepted by a blackbird (the feathery one, not a CBR1100XX) which hit...
I was working part-time at a Honda dealer while at University, and took quite the fancy to a pristine, second hand Vf750F. I persuaded the boss to...
I have had good results with Plastex repairs, or the two-part Permatex plastic weld epoxy works very well on ABS parts like fairings.
The ST1300 has a mechanically similar setup to the VFR, and owners that clock up big mileage. Here's a link to a useful guide....
A locking back brake is often a result of the secondary master cylinder on the left fork leg seizing up. The 800 has great brakes but they are not...
I'd say that is just a casting mark, not a flaw. This was my VFR.[ATTACH]
That is a very good point. Calliper or slave cylinder pistons usually have gunk that accumulates in them as the lowest point in the system. Not...
I think you'd do much better with a vacuum bleed to get everything started, that is what Mr Honda recommends, but all brake systems (including...
So what's the difference? I ike the RT valve bodies because they have a bigger port area than stock so tend to offer less inherent flow...
Ractech make some good parts for the forks; the stock spring rate looks pretty low (0.67kg/mm) for your weight, so at the very least a set of...
The wiring diagram shows that the healight bulbs are wired in parallel and have dual filament bulbs. Both low beams, or both high beams, should...
Lack of charging of the battery could be a stator fault, the stator connector failing, the RR failing, or the battery failing. The connector for...
Sounds like you need to put the ABS system into diagnostic mode and find out what is causing the fault. The manual can be downloaded here:...
I've never heard of this happening on an ABS-equipped vehicle. Does the ABS fault light come one when this happens? Or does the brake start to...
Just to add my 2 cents worth (or whatever is the equivalent, allowing for inflation). There will be a recommended L/R order for the bearing...
Separate names with a comma.
