So really what happened is you pulled the oil filter stunt, just to get your bike cleaned???
Anne-Marie I'm glad you survived that close call. Hitting the kill switch and coasting in was really smart riding, and I'm sure the engine will be...
Nice family portrait. I've owned all of those V4's at one time or another, my 400 was that exact colour and was an amazing bike for it's time.
As much as I am enjoying following Anne-Marie's trip, I think I'm enjoying reading about the VFRW field service team's exploits even more. Way to...
"After enough time" being the operative term. Our local road builders LOVE chip seal (must be cheap), but they don't seem to love getting rid of...
Fair enough Norm, you keep 'em. Can we send the possums back too?
I might be wrong about this (and New Zealand has no real snakes at all) but tar snakes just deform when you ride over them don't they? Like jelly...

Part of my reasoning (can I use that word to discuss a motorcycle purchase???) for the ST1100 was to try out a more relaxed ride position and...

I have a custom made block of wood! [IMG]
Maybe the rings are a bit rusty from moisture while the bike was sitting. In which case just keep riding. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The instructions for setting the rebound needle 3 turns in is so that you have three turns out to full out, when the cap is correctly screwed...
You do realise if you stuck the lenses on your helmet, the whole world would now look clear?
Just to be clear, there is no "thermostat switch". There is the electrical thermoswitch which should be on the back left of the radiator, and the...
With your VTR history Jim, how can you resist another easy project??? Actually it sounds like it should be pretty easy to resurrect a 6th gen,...
I'm a little confused by your description but here's a few pointers on the cooling system. It is intended to keep the engine at a "normal"...
I'm glad that you resolved your problem and I'm happy to have been some help. Just paying it forwards I guess.
How about a snow blower? Post hole borer?
