[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Thanks Waylander, that's not available here, so Evaporust is next. In other news I bought a new NGK plug cap, when disassembled...
Bender... [ATTACH]
I would be putting the battery on a charger, then firing the bike up, and measuring the voltage across the battery terminals with the engine...
Been doing some more testing today. I sorted the low fuel light (bulb) and the temperature gauge (corrosion in the sensor terminal). The earth...
Thanks DP. I am using the fuel tank (hard to road test with an IV bottle) and the bike has a a clear-shell inline filter before the pump, which...
Big day in the Mancave today as I pulled the carbs for a clean. Predictably found: 2 partly blocked pilot jets One stuck float valve Crud and...
I am a recent convert to Evaporust so might give that a go first. I think the rust is mainly lower down in the tank so don't believe I need to...
Thanks for the advice and the helpful links. I work in the chemicals manufacturing business so have ready access to pretty much anything I might...
Thanks DP; what would you be doing to the tank?
Some progress forwards and back today; seem to have a carb problem after all the messing around, the bike starts and runs on the stand, then...
I had forgotten how skinny the bikes from the 80's are, but I agree that Honda got the style and proportions just about spot-on with these. For me...
You should see what I wear when I do the housework! I just spent a few hours checking over the valves and concluded that I don't really have good...
So just one month later than planned, my new old bike finally emerged from the back of the van. As expected it was pretty filthy and a little...
I had a 1997 VTR1000F that was a JDM, and that also had the 180 km/hr limited speed. Disabling the limiter was as easy as removing a single wire...
There is no stock Honda alarm system, so anything on there must be after-market.
It took one short ride on an MT-10 and I was hooked and had to buy one. The firing sequence is identical to all the VFRs with the 180 degree...
I believe the Japanese market was very tightly constrained in the past with tough licencing and machinery restrictions. It was a real challenge to...
11.8V even with revs is bad, you should be seeing 13.5-14.5V. I'd start at the 3-pin connector for the alternator on the left side below the seat,...
I sold my 1997 VTR1000F just a few months ago, to fund other acquisitions. [ATTACH]
I suspect even with a carb clean, it's still only going to run on two cylinders...
