It's possible a cable got dislodged in the throttle tube. I'd start by disassembling and inspecting the handlebar throttle assembly.
Good find. Don't think I've seen Candy Red saddlebags for sale before, nevertheless at that price.
Some thoughts... 1. Squeeze the clutch lever a few times to make sure the master cylinder is fully bled. 2. You shouldn't have to open the banjo...
I'd start by drying out the bike thoroughly. It sounds like the problem is pan-electrical, which suggests the charging system is at fault--strange...
I'd try an Alden Grab-It with a bit extension. Requires a drill and will destroy the head of the screws. It's ok if the heads are stripped.
The caliper should move smoothly on the caliper pins without binding. There might be a slight bit of resistance, but it should be very smooth....
Where are you riding the motorcycle? In city traffic where there is a lot of stop and go? Or steady highway cruising? Ambient temperature/riding...
That's probably a little higher than usual, I've seen them go for about $300. But they are popular and rare, so the price is high. They are still...
1. Did you lubricate the caliper slider pins? If they are dry and sticking, that's probably what's causing the dragging. If you didn't already,...
Sounds like something needs lubrication. You can try lubricating the cable. But if something inside the cluster is sticking, you might have to...
Hype. The $45-110 would be better spent elsewhere.
I recently flushed the clutch/brake fluids and had seepage around both master cylinders in the week following. Tightening the master cylinder...
When you log some miles and get a chance, let us know how the VFR handles offroad.
Thanks for the replies everyone. I need to use the old chain to guide the new chain, so I'll grind the rivets at an angle as you've recommended,...
I'd start by upgrading the gloves... you want the best protection you can get for your hands. Leather is great for preventing road rash, but you...
Try setting the torque wrench to the lowest setting (say, 10ft lbs) and see if it clicks.
Replacing a riveted chain for the first time on the 2002. To grind off the head of the rivets, I'm using a $10 Harbor Freight 4.5in angle grinder...
Welcome! Is this bike new to you?
Not sure if these are any good, but wiremybike.com is generally well-respected....
Keep at it, you'll sort it out. This is the coolant I (and I think Y2Kviffer) use:...
Separate names with a comma.
