Sounds like the battery, in my experience these do fail when hot even though they worked perfectly when cold. Getting a jump off a car battery...
The OEM manual I found states #90 mainjets front and rear UNLESS you're in CA in which case an 86 would be #95 front and #92 rear. Pilot screw...
I have the ZG double bubble on my 5G, can't criticise it at all, fit is great and function is much better than stock, probably adds 20km/hr to a...
I have a voltmeter fitted on my 5G, and even on a well charged battery the voltage drops to 12.2V or thereabouts with the ignition switched on,...
I chewed out the Metzeler Roadtec 01s on my 5G in about 10,000km, probably the most I've gotten from a set of sport-touring tyres recently. I do...
I took my VFR800 through the Tapu-Coroglen Rd recently and aside from looking like I had just finished the Paris-Dakar rally, didn't suffer too...
I run EBC HH on my three bikes (and a Vespa!); great feel and power, consistent hot or cold.

Nice collection; love the CB1300!
The presence of the Gold Valves makes no difference; they will be hiding inside the cartridge which you are unlikely to open up. Even then, the...
Welcome to the forum. With lifelong experience riding dirt bikes and some experience with an 81 XS400 I'd have thought you have plenty of...
The service manual show this being done with the caliper installed, so the disk will stop the pad falling free. You might consider tweaking the...
Yep, nailed it.
I recently bought myself a cheap compression tester and tested my ST1100, and came up with values around 140psi, engine warmed up and throttles...
The compression spec is 200 psi so your numbers are well off. Are you using the compression tester correctly or does it have a fault?
Upgrading the brakes is a tricky prospect (I have no idea what else might fit easily) but doing basic maintenance (new seals, lubed slider pins)...
The fan is independent of the FI system and runs off a temperature switch mounted to the radiator, usually switches on at 100C or thereabouts....
Great looking bike, I bet that confuses a few poeple. 9L/100km is pretty low but might depend how you ride. I see more like 6-7L/100km, less at...
The manual I have states it is for 98-01, and lists some different cam lifts for CA vs the rest of the world, but no difference for the different...
