The oil light is a pressure switch. Unless the engine is spinning reasonably quickly, there won't be much oil pressure so the light will be on....
[ATTACH] No idea where on the subframe this goes.
Mr Partzilla says grab rails are common across all years 03-09 in the US. They don't list '10 because the VFR wasn't sold new in that year in the...
Thanks for a really informative post!
When you restart the bike, do you allow the fuel pump to prime and stop before you hit the button? There should be a little residual fuel pressure...
Welcome aboard Strommer! That there is a very pretty bike. I owned one just like it in 1985 and keep an eye out now for one as a restoration...
My 99 is not what I would call silky smooth but it is not hard on my hands at all. The V4 engine doesn't have a high pitched in-line 4 vibe, more...
Yeah, good point, they are from a 5G I think, with the side mounted gears rather than the central drive on the 86-97 750's. The cam lobe position...
Phase 2 completed; not only did the crappy weather depart, we got an absolute corker of a day without a cloud in the sky, but pretty nippy. So...
First thing I'd suggest is to pull the coolant hoses off the wax unit and make sure they are flowing freely, and flowing freely through the wax...
Ok phase 1 completed. Not too much of a struggle to remove, one seized bolt in a rear connector clamp, and those gaskets put up a fight. Found one...
Not here; my guess is the fault will be in the detente mechanism around the shift star.
Thanks Gentlemen. In addition to the leak, I found non-standard nuts on the front studs, so I replaced those last week with OEM parts and...
I have a slightly leaking exhaust gasket on the front head. Aside from the noise, the bike runs well. I have new gaskets ordered but would like...
There's basically two parts to the gear shift mechanism, the detente mechanism that translates the pedal shaft movement to a one up or one down...
All my bikes have high km, my 5G has 96000km, my ST has 107000km and my VTR1000 (the baby) has 76000km. All of them have had some coolant hose...
The cheapest thing to try would be some new plugs.
Well if you want sound and smoothness, you need a 3rd, 4th or 5th gen, with gear driven cams. These add a certain exotic sounds that the 6th gen...

In the 5G service manual it states that the PAIR solenoid is open by default (i.e. no signal from the ECM), and closes when there is a signal from...
