The starter spinning continually is probably due to the starter solenoid welding closed. Use a multimeter and check continuity through that with...
Maybe the cam cover gasket around the spark plug wells is not seating/sealing properly and that is allowing oil to seep down/around the spark...
I have a screwdriver that is about 600mm that is great for this job. You should be able to just swing the throttle bodies clear with the...
The opening temperature of the stock thermostat is around 78C so that is the lowest that the bike should operate at if the conditions are cold....
Can you bribe the guy with the sound meter?
The thermoswitch is between the motor and earth; there is a positive 12V feed to the motor at all times, so it just needs the earth path to...
Absolutely; the cooling system should heat up to the fan cycling temperature (usually around 102C) then the fan starts, temperature should creep...
First question is where is it coming from? If it is from the reservoir, you may have either overfilled it (unlikely) or the radiator cap needs to...
It is pretty easy to accidentally adjust the reference SV; I was semi-informed and still managed to do it, as the shaft of the SV was seized so...
From the wire colours and position, that is the connection between the battery and the regulator/rectifier. There will also be a 3-yellow wire...
Getting the settings right is a bit of an art; I had to "unseize" the reference starter valve and inadvertantly changed the adjustment. Finding...
The vacuum lines are only different because the 5G has the 4 starter valves mounted to the right side of the TBs, whereas the 6G has the SV...
Sorry - I could never ride that bike while the Honda sticker on the left leg is upside down! And the radar detector wiring is very poor with a...
I put a YSS shock (from Firefox) into my ST1300; that has transformed that into a very tidy handler; I also have the full GoldValve and spring...
I've got one of each, a 99 (with Nitron shock and Racetech fork goodness, Sargent seat and raised bars) and a recently acquired 09 (which is stock...
I can confirm that VTR1000F lowers will work nicely with the stock VFR wheel/axle/spacers/discs in the VFR yokes. If you have F3 yokes I suspect...
Well now that is a bit ugly. The only good thing is that the joint is just for the seat subframe so not critical to keeping the wheels in line,...
Dang, that looks ugly. Complete uninformed speculation on my part, but perhaps your engine was hydro-locked from fuel leaking through a carb and...
Nothing to do with performance, all about longevity. The valve heads recede slightly during use which makes the valve stem sit closer to the...
IIRC Shinko is the new(er) name for the old Japanese Yokohama brand. In the 80's (and maybe 90's) Yokohamas were at the sportier end of the tyre...
Separate names with a comma.
