LOL, +1 for the "second from the left" helper :)
When brake pads are dragging, while driving, lots of heat is generated. Bikeman is on the right track, if you ride hard, fluid will boil, although...
Cylinders look good, pistons as well. Little clean up should straighten it all out. Just to note, you are missing connecting rods in this auction...
Hm, rust is bad, but one good thing you have is rust that is radial around the cylinder walls, that is, rust streaks are not from the top all the...
A dumb question, are you sure your voltmeter is accurate? I do have to say 15.5 at idle is a bit high, I have 13.7V at idle, although on an 98...
While you are at it, with all the plugs pulled out, check the compression on all cylinders. If you find the piston that has a bad bearing as...
+1 for taking it back to the dealer. I personally have ridden my 98 VFR for 18k miles so far, and did not have a drop of coolant or oil leak...
While running, voltage on battery should be ~13.7 V or so. Good battery should measure ~12.5 when bike is off .... So, it is fair to diagnose...
Glad to hear it was nothing bent or any other serious issue. I am myself guilty of pulling clutch with open slave cylinder, but I never...
You're on the map sir!
Durk could be right, it might be a vacuum line issue. Secondary air intake can cause vortexes in the air box if it is open below high air flow,...
Ah, one more idea. A few years back, a buddy of mine was changing a water pump on his GM truck. Since he was cheap and did not want to flush...
This may sound un-orthodox, so take it how you want, but it did work for me a few times on a car. It is a bit tricky though :) The same device...
It could be that rod got out of it's seat in the bearing on the other side, in the clutch basket assembly. It is about 1/4" hole where it seats....
+1 on the ground, since all 4 have raised codes. Pliskin also has a point on bad R/R, so it would not hurt to check both for correct DC voltage...
If pump primes, your circuitry to pump is OK, so I would assume bank sensor and fuel cut off relay are all working. If you pour gasoline into...
Separate names with a comma.
