If it was good until you changed the fuel pump...I'd look at that first. You should be using a very low pressure pump, too much will overcome the...
If this is a bike that has been parked up for a long time, maybe the clutch plates are just glued together by old oil.
Well its been some decades since I owned a 500, but a quick bit of Googling suggests that yes both the big and small holes are stock standard. My...
You would have had plenty of oily residue sitting in the exhausts, so no surprises that it smoked badly when first run. Probably needs an "Italian...
Can't answer your "parade" mode flashing, but the flasher relay shows as the middle of three in the service manual (with the others being listed...
Certainly sounds like it just ran out of fuel in the carbs, the fuel tap and fuel pump would be my primary targets. I think "bad gas" would be a...
There is also a magic sequence for bearings, the right one gets driven home fully seated, the left is driven in until it snugs up against the...
I had a Delkevic tri-oval on my VFR800, and was very happy with it. Good finish, decent sound and came with a dB killer (which I never used).[IMG]

I'm not sure that I am seeing any real problem there. Hearing some pad drag on the disc surface is normal, and from your video that looks like...
If freeing the buttons doesn't help, next you may want to look at whether one of your discs has had a bit of a bump, very easy to bend the alloy...
Weak sparks may likely be a result of general corrosion in terminals. I'd suggest you disconnect them all and clean then apply some dielectric...
Some possibilities: Debris caught in the fan so it can't spin easily? (e.g. grass, a rock) Bad earth reducing the current flow through the motor?...
The air gap will only change the bottoming resistance. Because the oil is incompressible, as the suspension moves it compresses the air gap on the...
I have tinkered with forks on a number of bikes, and tried different weight oils and modified damper components. In my view K-tech may be advising...
I used shade-tree machining to make similar brackets to MD, not pretty, but the guard will hide it. You can achieve the same with a couple of...
So the short version is, there is some crud in the secondary master cylinder that needs to be cleaned out. All master cylinders have a tiny return...
Just a thought, I have had one instance where a pad was caught on the spring inside the caliper, so it fitted but was slightly angled. Fluid would...
I'd suggest you pull apart the 3-pin connector to the reg/rect from the alternator as a preventative, these get wet and corrode due to the...
You need a chain riveting tool like this example (but from a reputable supplier):...
Separate names with a comma.
