I did a water pump rebuild on my ST1100 and it was easy enough with Caveman style tools. I bought the parts off Happybikes.co.uk, and I checked...
Go for it. Definitely will have no impact on the steering. The bottom triple is a solid piece with the stem.
True the frame on the CBX is not the prettiest, but it is very effective and I thought it was superior to the contemporaneous VF750F, being just...
I managed to make an inadvertant purchase decision to buy a VF750F when I borrowed it from the bike shop I worked at and took it for an exuberant...
Is that number plate a temporary unit applied by a dealer for test rides? In which case, I think the rider just made a purchase decision!
Me too Randy, but I find the lines on my 99 feel perfectly OK. I have thought about new front lines for my ST1300 until I saw the price....
The rubber coated stock brake lines tend to go a bit squishy with age (and yours are 28 years old now!) which robs the pads of some hydraulic...
If you are reasonably agile, checking clearances and then swapping shims if needed is pretty easy on a gear-drive VFR. It is even easier on a...
Is your little friend admitting to doing bad things in the airbox? Certainly looks guilty!
Maybe rodents have moved into the airbox and filled the air filter with useful (if you are a mouse) things that are impeding the airflow needed...
It was traditional to mount the reservoir for a Fox shock along the left side frame spar. Your tucked-in location looks pretty good however, I...
Looking for lower clip-ons on the VFR is unusual, most of us want to go higher. You could look for a set of VTR1000F bars, they will certainly fit...
I had a short screen from Slipscreens UK on my ST. A great investment for warmer weather. Not much point wearing vented riding gear when there is...
Not to teach you to suck eggs or anything but...Are you sure the check valve is working properly? It is pretty easy for the shim to get caught on...
I did post an intentionally dopey reply before, but now I think I may be onto something. Has the rear wheel eccentric been rotated so the axle is...
The 8.2mm diameter shim is very important as it is the fulcrum on which the shims above are bending. I believe the 0.4 x 11.3mm is just a spacer...
Maybe you can rotate the rear wheel eccentric so the wheel sits higher in the swingarm. That would give you more sidestand angle...and possibly...
Here's a link to the Racetech Suspension Bible. Don't tell the copyright police! Page 75 has the shim thickness:stiffness table....
It does not matter which yellow wires you join as they are all AC. Get a wire size at least the same as the originals (bigger is better but the...
Did you know that a 0.15mm shim has a stiffness just over 3 x that of a 0.10mm shim? That means your 3 x 0.1 x 17mm shms are roughly equivalent to...
Separate names with a comma.
