As long as I get to huff some carb cleaner I will be fairly quiet.
There's always a generator...got to keep the beer cold.
This is why I get lost when I go to the northern hemisphere...
The only item that would warrant closer examination is the left side fairing which has some road rash and also does not appear to align well with...
I've owned two 99s but never a later 5th gen. I do own a 6th gen as well. My opinion is the auto fast idle is of no real value and just another...
This is my Mancave, basically 4 x 4m only, so 4 bikes just fit but be prepared to jab yourself repeatedly in the kidneys with bar ends as you move...
Constant electrical twitching - you mean a buzzing or clicking from the starter solenoid? That is usually a sign of not enough current flow from...
A bike that doesn't crank has an electrical issue so I would not be worrying about the carbs or fuel system - yet. If you parked it for 5 months...
Those prices look pretty reasonable to me. I bought my 99 a couple of years ago for the equivalent of $3400, and it came with some nice suspension...
Take the maintenance cap off the clutch cover and try to turn the engine over with a socket; that will tell you if it is locked up or not. I agree...
My last Metzeler was a Lasertec 110/80x18 on the front of my ST1100. That tyre was truly awful, heavy steering and loved to follow lines in the...
PAIR valve removal does not affect the idle speed; the PAIR system is fed from above the throttle plates. The idle speed is determined by the...
Hi Martsi and welcome.Do you have to replace the wax unit? Failures can also result just from a water hose blockage; if the small hoses block, the...
Warming the plastic up first might help, also some silicone spray as lube.
Yes the FRP is the fuel pressure regulator, the round diaphragm device on one end of the fuel rail. Basically as the vacuum in the intakes...
You need to start chasing down where the power is going (or not going). Apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs. Ignition on, engine not...
The RR and alternator wires have nothing to do with this. Get a manual and wiring diagram and you should find the power for the bike goes...
The front tyre rolls over the flat nail/screw and flicks it into a better impaling angle just in time for the back tyre. Well that's my theory anyway.
When the bike actually starts from cold, what is the rev behaviour? Starts around 2k and slowly winds back to 1200rpm? Or something else. My 09...
I would not rule out a leaking exhaust gasket as the source of a tick.
Separate names with a comma.
