Dude, awesome troubleshooting and diagnostic. Evidence and reasoning lead you straight to the problem ! Thanx for the post!
Throttle bodies are not really connected, except through vacuum lines, so it is possible that fuel from one flooded port goes to the other....
TheBeeDeeGee are you willing to poke around your bike a bit? I would suggest you try :) Let me throw a few things out there, and you decide if you...
Exact and to the point answer! Messing with it might leave residue/dust that might get into the oil. I would just leave it alone.
I am glad that ABS rods worked for you guys for repairing side fairings. Even more than that I am glad to see that people are repairing plastics,...
Again, side panels are NOT made of ABS plastics. At least they are not on my 98 vfr. So I would first make sure what plastics you are dealing...
I guess your mileage will vary. However, based on plastics designation of side panels, they are PA-GF10, which is polyamide reinforced with...
+1 for kerosine usage as the degreaser/cleaner. I use it as well. I would clean it afterwards with brake cleaner, jut to get kerosine film off,...
Ah, one more thing, in order to have more cohesive and uniform plastics, it is advisable to remove paint where you weld plastics, so that paint...
One word of caution here. Front fairing is made of ABS, side fairings are nylon - polyamide glass filled to 10%. If you look inside the fairing...
I just read that you tried a few radiator caps already, with no change in behavior. It is probably unlikely they were all bad. I would change my...
+1 for the radiator cap test/replacement. Same pressure tester for cooling system can be used to test holding pressure for the radiator cap. 1.1...
Crap, I just checked the link you posted. Let me clarify, there are many types of ignition testers, the one I was talking about and the one I use...
The ignition tester tests the voltage of the spark. Roughly, for every centimeter of air 10k volts is needed to create a spark. For instance, if...
Hm, I am not sure blocked air delivery would cause sudden no-start condition. If filter was getting dirty, or if some pesky rodent would...
Awesome videos! It brings a whole new perspective to "online mechanic", and gives us idea exactly what you are talking about! Wow, I wish people...
What exactly do you mean by clutch outer? Clutch basket, the part that clutch plates sit in and that has a big gear on the back of it? If this is...
Wouldn't a valve tap be present even when engine is warm, and even be louder when warm than cold? Ticking in this case goes away once engine warms...
I think we are focusing here on a spun rod bearing, since that is the most obvious thing that can cause knocking when cold, before metal had a...
Not sure if you will pull the oil pan or not, but if you do, you should be able to rotate the crank and reach the bottoms of the con rods and...
Separate names with a comma.
