I'd try wiggling the key up and down a little in the barrel as you turn it. I got new keys cut and until I'd used them a bit, they were very...
I'm guessing he bought it and is still out on his first date....
So you have some end-to-end freeplay when you compress the forks? That doesn't sound right. The spring is always compressed by the fork cap and...
My VFR also has a clamp with two bolts. Use copper anti seize grease on the gasket, and if you need to open up the muffler pipe so it slips easily...
I've used the jack/block under the headers on my 5th gen a number of times but I never trust it! I have to make sure I loosen as many big...
The bonus with the head lift stand is that you can easily remove the forks for servicing (or endlessly changing shims as in my case...). I made a...

Does that translate to "My hovercraft is full of eels"?
What is the idle speed set to? Maybe it is a little low. The idle screw is accessed through the small hole in the right side frame spar, could...
Here's a link to a service manual that you can download; wiring diagram from memory is right at the back....
