I put a YSS shock (from Firefox) into my ST1300; that has transformed that into a very tidy handler; I also have the full GoldValve and spring...
I've got one of each, a 99 (with Nitron shock and Racetech fork goodness, Sargent seat and raised bars) and a recently acquired 09 (which is stock...
I can confirm that VTR1000F lowers will work nicely with the stock VFR wheel/axle/spacers/discs in the VFR yokes. If you have F3 yokes I suspect...
Well now that is a bit ugly. The only good thing is that the joint is just for the seat subframe so not critical to keeping the wheels in line,...
Dang, that looks ugly. Complete uninformed speculation on my part, but perhaps your engine was hydro-locked from fuel leaking through a carb and...
Nothing to do with performance, all about longevity. The valve heads recede slightly during use which makes the valve stem sit closer to the...
IIRC Shinko is the new(er) name for the old Japanese Yokohama brand. In the 80's (and maybe 90's) Yokohamas were at the sportier end of the tyre...
As long as I get to huff some carb cleaner I will be fairly quiet.
There's always a generator...got to keep the beer cold.
This is why I get lost when I go to the northern hemisphere...
The only item that would warrant closer examination is the left side fairing which has some road rash and also does not appear to align well with...
I've owned two 99s but never a later 5th gen. I do own a 6th gen as well. My opinion is the auto fast idle is of no real value and just another...
This is my Mancave, basically 4 x 4m only, so 4 bikes just fit but be prepared to jab yourself repeatedly in the kidneys with bar ends as you move...
Constant electrical twitching - you mean a buzzing or clicking from the starter solenoid? That is usually a sign of not enough current flow from...
A bike that doesn't crank has an electrical issue so I would not be worrying about the carbs or fuel system - yet. If you parked it for 5 months...
Those prices look pretty reasonable to me. I bought my 99 a couple of years ago for the equivalent of $3400, and it came with some nice suspension...
Take the maintenance cap off the clutch cover and try to turn the engine over with a socket; that will tell you if it is locked up or not. I agree...
My last Metzeler was a Lasertec 110/80x18 on the front of my ST1100. That tyre was truly awful, heavy steering and loved to follow lines in the...
PAIR valve removal does not affect the idle speed; the PAIR system is fed from above the throttle plates. The idle speed is determined by the...
Hi Martsi and welcome.Do you have to replace the wax unit? Failures can also result just from a water hose blockage; if the small hoses block, the...
