This is an intriguing discussion. At the far end of the clutch pushrod is a radial ball bearing that allows the stationary pushrod to exert force...
Marke I think your connector is living proof of the terminal corrosion that Stoshmonster is talking about (I need one of those handy cleaner...
Absolutely correct! Out of interest I worked out that across my three bikes for the last 2 3/4 years when I bought my VFR I have averaged 48km...
I completed the refit of headers during the week once the parts arrived. Wasn't too bad of a job, needed some rubber hammer help for the rear...
I don't know why, but batteries that are at the end of their life will work fine cold but then won't have enough amps to start when hot. I would...
You're very welcome Phil; just paying it forward. Hope the rest of the trip is smooth sailing.

My 99 is not what I would call silky smooth but it is not hard on my hands at all. The V4 engine doesn't have a high pitched in-line 4 vibe, more...
Yeah, good point, they are from a 5G I think, with the side mounted gears rather than the central drive on the 86-97 750's. The cam lobe position...
Phase 2 completed; not only did the crappy weather depart, we got an absolute corker of a day without a cloud in the sky, but pretty nippy. So...
First thing I'd suggest is to pull the coolant hoses off the wax unit and make sure they are flowing freely, and flowing freely through the wax...
Ok phase 1 completed. Not too much of a struggle to remove, one seized bolt in a rear connector clamp, and those gaskets put up a fight. Found one...
