Piece o'cake. Here's my route, as best I can remember, from 2 weeks, scratch that closer to 3 weeks now that I think about it, in the summer of...
You didn't pull the throttle body/injector assembly just to check the valves, did you? That isn't necessary with a 5th generation.
A compression test will give you a rough estimate of things, the leakdown test will give you more info about how conditions are inside. You could...
Personally I'd do a leak-down test, and maybe a compression test, to see how sealed up everything is, if the leak-down test give poor readings...
There should be "well nuts" for the bolts to thread into. Those all look like bolts to me, not the pushpins.
Yes, that's how you adjust the stoplight switch, just the plastic screw. Mine is basically solid, no mush, just braking. They are a very short...
From the pictures it looks like they're all bolts that are missing. Push pins are down lower and more inside. Some of them will be bolts that...
Congrats. Pictures!! We need to see what that puppy looks like.
I wouldn't be surprised, but maybe he did a lot of commuting with little to no in town stop-an-go. But I think I would figure it into the budget,...
$800 sounds like a pretty good deal.
The price is totally dependent on condition. If the fairings are rough or damaged or weathered, you're looking at a lot less money than for a '99...
But most of the time, all the noise is out the back. Very few people in front of you will even be aware of it, and those are the ones to be...
A lot depends on the price and how it's been stored. The engine should be good for a long time if it has been maintained like it should. The...
If I bought a new bike I'd run synthetic from the first oil change. Of course the last new bike I bought was 32 years ago. Synthetics were still...
I'm leaning toward getting one of these. I currently have the Nolan N104 and have been very happy with it for quite a few years. I can't remember...
I'm not so sure the chain will wear more on the "left" side of the valley. As the chain wears it will naturally not contact the bottom of the...
Contrary to what you've read, loud pipes do not save lives. They just piss people off. A little rumble is good, but don't be like the Harley guys...
I have paint on my tank that the tank bag sits on, never been a problem. Keep the tank clean, don't get sand under it, and don't drag it on and...
To me it makes sense if the braking of the VFR was not excellent, but it comes across as one of the best stopping bikes there is. Why mess with a...
Can you drop the pan without pulling the engine? That would make a bad job a little better.
