Warming the plastic up first might help, also some silicone spray as lube.
Yes the FRP is the fuel pressure regulator, the round diaphragm device on one end of the fuel rail. Basically as the vacuum in the intakes...
You need to start chasing down where the power is going (or not going). Apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs. Ignition on, engine not...
The RR and alternator wires have nothing to do with this. Get a manual and wiring diagram and you should find the power for the bike goes...
The front tyre rolls over the flat nail/screw and flicks it into a better impaling angle just in time for the back tyre. Well that's my theory anyway.
When the bike actually starts from cold, what is the rev behaviour? Starts around 2k and slowly winds back to 1200rpm? Or something else. My 09...
I would not rule out a leaking exhaust gasket as the source of a tick.
Before you do anything else, why not attach a dial indicator to the fork legs and check the runout of the disks? The alloy carriers are easy to...
You need to access the tensioner which is on the back of the cylinders, if you already have the throttle bodies removed you have easy access,...
I believe the 6X was a full on HRC engine that was the test bed for the next generation of RVF and ultimately the RC30.
My hands are dangerous on their own. I own three torque wrenches in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" size.
Do you need the PCV or the secondary master cylinder? The latter is far more likely seize up and that will either stop the rear centre piston...
I think the 5th gen is extra noisy as it uses the RC45 layout with the cam drive up the right side, different to earlier gens which had the cam...
Clutch slip when warmed could be air or it could be a blockage in the tiny return port in the floor of the master (under the small shield). If it...
My 6th gen with 82000km had very abrupt clutch take-up which made a smooth launch a bit tricky. I did the usual external things first including a...
Nothing is impossible, and the ABS system is just a control module, two ABS pumps and two wheel speed sensors and tone wheels plus wiring and...
Well said Mike.
I recently put an old but lightly used front wheel and new pads in my VFR and was astounded at the drag. So I disassembled all the parts and...
Just to clarify, the 800 is a 2006, not 87. Price elasticity is an interesting thing when you are looking at what I would consider an...
I am also a big fan of using the "correct" springs at the front. Usually you end up with less preload to get the desired ride height, which make...
Separate names with a comma.
