The idle adjuster is accessed through the hole in the right frame spar, with a philips head screwdriver. Good luck with your project.

I've always wondered about that point. The hoses are made to withstand high hydraulic pressures and the constant flexing from suspension...
The VFR forks are indeed cartridge type. SS-8 is also a 10W oil and the reference I have states 39.7 cP viscosity at 40C. I believe the PJ-1 may...
I did have some aftermarket bar ends on my last 800 and can't say I noticed much difference to the stock ones. Aftermarket parts often use an...
If you are a cheap bugger like me, get a piece of thin rubber (I use a bicycle inner tube) and pack out the cush drive if there is too much free...
Looks like a good project, welcome. Make sure you check the condition of the cam lobes and followers before spending too much elsewhere.
I rode my 5th gen yesterday for the first time in a few months, and actually do get a bit of buffet from the ZG screen which I did not remember.
You'll need to unscrew the 4 air funnels in the bottom of the airbox, and after that it just lifts out with rubber hoses attached, which you'll...
Sounds to me like your pump is fine; it keeps pumping until the fuel line is full and the carb float valves are shutting. There's no "internal...
I think everyone's personal experience will be different on this one. I currently have three bikes, a Yamaha MT-10 which is effectively naked, a...
Actually that makes sense. If the combustion chambers were the same size, the compression ratio on the 700 would be lower ,as the swept volume is...
Clever work by Honda. I think they just changed the crank (shorter throw) and rods (longer) to make the 700. I owned a couple in the 80's and they...
I've read that Rotella T4 is quite suitable for wet-clutch applications as it has no friction modifiers, so unlikely to be a problem here.
Sounds like you have a non-OEM RR; this is not necessarily a problem except the wire colours don't correspond to the service manual. I have...
We're just heading for better riding weather here, but I have been riding solidly all "winter" as there have been a decent run of dry-ish days to...
[ATTACH] This is the picture from the service manual. Sounds like you have a different RR fited with different wire colours.
Its good practise to do a bench leak test before mounting those carbs up. Allow fuel to flow (e.g. from a suspended bottle) and see if they leak...
Well it is only possible to be misaligned by one or more whole teeth. Using my eyecrometer the gear looks to have about 46 teeth, so one tooth off...
Is this with the cam saddles tightened down? Because the driving gear is split/spring-loaded to take up slack, and until the two gears are firmly...
Separate names with a comma.
