Thanks for the pictures, squirrel and crusty. Looking at the service manual, they show the cam contacting the rocker between the valve and the...
All: Thanks much. I'm guessing the really tiny adjuster that I'm remembering were on the Hawk, then.
Need some aussie/uk->us term conversion help: spanner for you is a "normal" wrench? here they tend to be specialized kinds (normally of the very...
Amsoil in everything. 10w40 motorcycle oil in the bikes ('86 VFR700F and an NT650 HawkGT). Both really like it, and the shift quality is nice....
1986, bought at just over 16K miles (now in the ~22K range). I'm not sure if the valves were checked or not by the previous owners. now loud...
If all it takes is cleaning and a small shim, I'm happy. Is that a supertrapp on your gen2? and if so, is it 4-2-1 or 4-2-2? and how many...
The original owner of my '86 VFR700F swapped in supertrapps and removed a bunch of the smog equipment. Now, roughly 20 years later, I'm trying to...
Small resurrection for an older thread, but I (very roughly) back-converted the torque curve from the HP curves. If I was PM'd and sent the...
I'm going to try the acetone/abs slurry method on my nearly-shattered left lower. We'll see how that works. Also planning on going to TAP...
I'm guessing that would have been my givi wingrack... :) It 'aint pretty, that's for sure. Especially with the seat cowl on it now. I need to...
Don't recognize the statue, although I see eucalyptus and cypress trees in the background, so you're on the coast somewhere. Google tells me...
KC, On the hawk it was pretty easy to get the clutch apart... once we followed these directions: Clutch Replacement made easy - Honda Hawk...
Back in the saddle again! Rode the bike on Sunday. We had both bikes finally running again, so took them down to West Cliff to see how they...
I've seen this before, but hadn't noticed that the cockpit views show an F2 gauge set, and the front fender in the down-low shots is also white....
my '86 does the same, as the sproket teeth contact the rollers, there's a soft tink. only can hear it with the bike off. Once it's running, the...
couldn't find anything on pirelli's website, but it was slow to come up, so I'll poke further. I'm just used to cars where I've tuned in tire...
best too look them up on someplace like BikeBandit.com, which has the fische's online. My '86 700 has 2 bearings and seals up front, 3 bearings...
Since non-OE tires can have different pressure ranges vs OE tires... How to determine the proper tire pressure to run? I just put Sport Demons...
I'm thinking a double-barrel undertail exhaust with the super-trapps could look pretty good.
All assembled, but the clutch master got some air in it when hanging when the forks were pulled to do the steering stems. Will be riding it to...
