And you did promise to do the 16K service on my '07 for $18 and an Ultimate Cheeseburger... You're a good man, TOE CUTTER.
If maintenance is an issue, 5th gen is probably a better choice. The VTEC engines are a lot more work to check valve clearances on.
That's how it goes, sometimes. :biggrin: The price we pay for being human, I guess. I took a look at the 6th gen schematic, which is of no help...
I didn't know that you actually had an issue. I thought you were just commenting on some strangeness in the manual... I only have schematics for...
The only thing that I would add is that every oil filter manufacturer seems to use a slightly different size case on their bike filters. The K&N...
"Nice bike! What is it?" "Honda VFR. Most people know it as an interceptor." "Is that a 1000?" "No, it's a weirdo. 800." At this point, it's...
I've had the same experience with the Pilot Road (not the 2's) on the SV650. The front has about 8000 miles on it now and it STILL makes a weird...
The Cortechs have four tie-down straps. The front ones can be wrapped around the aluminum pieces that the hard bags are meant to attach to. The...
I forgot about the "Dear Randy" thread! No disrespect intended, Randy. I thought it was rather a courageous move on your part, considering this...
Aah, yes, but what KIND of beer? :biggrin:
I believe the transmission needs to be disassembled, as in removing the motor from the frame. At a guess, I would say you'll find a bent shift...
Longer rides are addictive. :smile: There is something about long rides that is exhilarating and calming at the same time. If it wasn't for the...
Nice write-up! Interesting about the quirky throttle issues, too. FWIW, although I have always liked the ST1100/1300 "on paper", every time I've...
You can always use the old wheel bearing to drive the new one in (if necessary). As long as you keep the new one square in the bore and tap on the...
I wondered why my financial state seemed so dismal, and Randy seemed to be in such a good mood all the time. :smile: Welcome to the forum.
I believe that "emulators" refer to the RaceTech products that enable damper-rod style forks (SV650 and older bikes) to "emulate" cartridge-style...
The rattling is generally the drive plates rotating back and forth in the basket, and is pretty normal on a lot of bikes. The hub bearing would be...
This could be a handy accessory for lane splitting:...
Ditto that, except I seem to do a lot of freeway riding.
This might sound kind of screwy, but are the engine mounting bolts a tight fit in the engine cases? From what you are describing, it sounds like...
Separate names with a comma.
