+1 on replacing that shock, they were mediocre at best when completely new, now it is an overbuilt pogo stick that will affect handling.
Worn out shock +1. Or your needle bearings could be worn out, the shock is the more likely culprit.
The regulator in theory should take any excess voltage above 14.5V that is going back to charge the battery to ground as long as it is working...
Odds are your seals are pretty dried up if they are original, I highly recommend changing the piston and dust seals even though they may look OK....
The toughest part is getting the seal to seat properly, with a proper sized length of PVC pipe this is easy peasy. Manual tells you how to do it.
I know on the SOHC CB750K's once you install a Yosh pipe your centerstand goes bye-bye, that's what makes me think it goes away on these also....
One of the steps to changing the shock out in the manual if I remember right is you have to remove the mufflers, maybe the same is true for the...
Same here, both my VFR's recently had the shocks resprung and rebuilt. Oh well.
From what I understand it is a no go wist Yosh and centerstand, correct me if I am wrong.
No shit, how much shaving are we talking about here?!?!
Yeah, from looking at the rebuild manual it looks like you need a couple of their proprietary tools ($$$).
I guess so, I have not put mine on the bike I plan to put it on yet so I am curious to see if one has to.
Yeah, I had mine rebuilt by Jamie before I slapped mine on, apparently you just have to replace some o-rings and check your shims, change the oil...
If the pitting and rust is bad you will probably have to get new pistons. Depends on how bad though.
You probably will have to rebuid the master cylinder and change the piston and dust seals on the rear brake. Check to see if the piston does not...
No, but I was definitely thinking about it. The dual headlight looks pretty good.
New- Hagon, Works Shocks. Used you can probably find some Ohlins or Fox Twin Clickers.
Anyone still want in on an RC30 tail cowl redesigned to fit the 86-87' 700/750? I was looking in to see if this was possible and what type of...
Yeah, only use the choke to get the bike started, then immediately take it off, you will have to goose the throttle a while the bike warms up....
No, jump the blue black wires together from the fuel pump power connector, the pump will pump until it sees 3psi pressure if it is working...
