Not the easiest place to get to; three train rides plus a taxi from metro Tokyo, took us all day. But well worth the visit. You can take a virtual...
Oooohh! Motegi photos! I'll see your NS500, and raise you one NR500... [ATTACH] I loved Motegi!
Nice soundtrack. I noticed the engine temp dropping from the 90-odd at the start toward the low 80's while having its tail pulled hard. Really...
While you/the shop are in there, why not also get the bushes replaced? These are the bits that allow the forks to slide, and they do wear, and are...
Yep; sounds like a bag of spanners at idle, but get some revs on and the sound is quite addictive...
I've had a spin on the Tracer and also the Niken. The triple motor did not excite like I thought it would, it felt kind of gravelly and not smooth...
My favourite is Front End Chatter, I also listen to Braptalk.
No fault codes means the FI system believes all the measurements/instruments are OK so that rules out quite a bit. You don't mention spark plugs,...
Are you seeing any fault codes flashing (the FI light)? I recall once leaving the hose off the MAP sensor on the back of the airbox and it ran but...
Your difficulty and my difficulty might be two different levels... Fork seal changes involve: Jacking the front end up Removing calipers, fender...
On my 5th gen non-HISS bike, the ignition was bolted to the underside of the upper triple using Torx bolts; these had threadlocker on them and...
Thanks for the tips, NCB, I will remember that for next time. I didn't think I had filled too fast, as I was squeezing the liquid in from a water...
I am very pleased that worked out for you. I've been working on my 600cc Silverwing scooter today, drained the coolant, then re-filled it with...
You tell em, brother!!!:) Here's some more average scenery...Kawakawa Bay, not far from home. [MEDIA]
I should have added tyre pressures to that list; always start with Honda's recommendations of 36psi F/42psi R.
Definitely not normal; VFR's are some of the most neutral handling bikes. Tyres would be a most likely culprit, either out of balance, or out of...
Well that could be correct but it seems like a coincidence that it happened at the same time as the coolant change. If it were me I'd give the...
[ATTACH] The manual doesn't state that the bike should be on the sidestand for this but given the radiator filler is on the right side, I think...
NCB could well be right, and it is what you should address first. Did you fire the bike up with the radiator cap off, on the sidestand, and blip...
Is it always like that or just with the PAIR disabled?
