Concerned about the torsional stress caused by a longer frame mount bolt? Sorry for all the design questions, the engineer in me is curious. -Jake
What's the reason for going with the mount extension you did as opposed to a completely new upper mount (or other modification) that wouldn't...
You should always fuse the positive side of a circuit. The reason for this is that a fuse can only protect what is down stream of it. If, for some...
You will need to find a new ground (earth) point near the R/R for the VFRness but other than that it's plug-and-play. You'll want to inspect the...
:welcome: Yes. As water (coolant) heats up, it expands. Since the cooling system is of limited volume, the excess coolant goes to the...
C'mon, when he's not bashing 1st gens he actually has some decent input. I do find it humorous that he owns two VTR250's, which are essentially...
Front brake rotors? -Jake
I've had my 500 up to 100 mph (indicated) in stock trim and still had two gears to go. I don't believe I was tached out either. -Jake EDIT: You...
Based on his descriptions, yes, he is getting a false neutral between 3rd and 4th. I've run into this (a bit) on my '98. My current solution is to...

I'd buy a Triumph Daytona 675. -Jake
If it ran fine through the rev range, prior to you taking the carbs off, then I would suspect the carbs are either still dirty or something got...
Was it running before you took the carbs off and cleaned them? -Jake
Wire My Bike = Rick's. Someone around here was saying they just bought one from Regulator Rectifier and that, so far, they were happy with it....
When you say the kill switch isn't on, do you mean that it's in the "Run" position or the "Off" position? Check the leads to the fuel pump. If...
$290 for a tow? That's ridiculous. How far is home? Unplug the stator, charge the battery, and ride that sucker home. Someone else may need to...
You don't need to replace your flywheel. In fact, I've never heard of anyone replacing their flywheel to fix an electrical issue. The reality is,...
Kelly Blue Book says $1190 retail. I'd push for as much as you can get. Do some research using Craigslist and completed listings on eBay. Look for...
The stator sold by Wire My Bike is from Rick's Motorsport Electrics. I have no doubt it will last the rest of the life of the bike. There's an...
Buy the one from Wire My Bike. It's plug and play and cheaper than buying it from Rick's, even though it's a Rick's R/R. -Jake
