I'd suggest you have a look at the RR connector to the stator, the 3-pin plug gets wet/corroded then overheats and melts, causing other damage. I...
13.1V at 12500rpm seems a bit low. Is it higher at lower revs? If not there might be MORE maintenance needed soon... I hate to be "that guy" but...
I fitted a tyre pressure monitoring system on my VTR, and that has been interesting to look at as conditions change. On a cool dry day last...
And on the other hand...when the bar end on my Suzuki RF900R fell off, I did not realise it until I got home 3 hours later and saw it missing, so...
I had a similar lowside on my VFR two years ago. I'd go OEM for the bar end and brake lever unless you feel like an upgrade to adjustable levers....
Maybe a damaged wire/connector leading to the MAP sensor? Might pay to check for continuity down the wires from the ECU connector.
You can also experiment a little to see the effect on feel. Bear in mind that the MotoGP bikes run pressures in the low 20's (I believe), but that...
36psi is the recommendation from Honda and is a safe bet for the front of most bikes. The tyre pressure used will affect how much the tyre deforms...
I owned two of these 86-model US-market 700's from new back in the day (87-89), plus a local market 86 750 (to 1996). I'm not quite as young as I...
OK that was even more detail than I offered, I bow to your superior knowledge Samuel. Has been a few years since I owned one of these... [IMG]
Yes that engine is from the VFR700F, RC24, 86-87. 699cc to duck under the 700cc tariff introduced to protect H-D. The engine is basically the same...
Was your bike an imported Japanese domestic market bike? That looks like something that has been attached during the bike's life in Japan, e.g....
There is no adjusting bolt. The foot pedal travel depends on how much fluid you need to move to get the pads into contact with the disc. If...
You're welcome, man.
My 100,000+ km 5G uses no oil at all that I can detect. I don't beat hard on it but it gets to see 9-10,000 rpm every now and again, and I'm...
Looks like a cam cover sealing gasket to me. I found a Japanese coin in the V of my VTR!
There should be a vacuum line from an intake port going to a one-way valve and then to a vacuum reservoir, then to the solenoid and then to the...
I had something similar happening with my ST1100, it would drop onto 3 cylinders when partly warmed up and sometimes stall completely. Once I...
Whoops! Sorry about that. You need to get at the two screws INSIDE the fairing: [ATTACH]
A bike that sits can develop unwanted corrosion in connectors that can affect the sparking making it weak; I had this on my ST1100. A (relatively)...
