According to the service manual, the suspension should have 140mm of travel. I wonder do you have the oil lock piece installed in the right leg...
Those are some great photos and words Randy. I feel for you and your need for speed (in a socially responsible manner). By way of a contrast,...
Did you disassemble the slave cylinder fully or just push the piston back in? Maybe the bit of crud is still hanging about in there. Did the...
I guess if you had a plug of crud inside the slave it could allow fluid in but get jammed back in the port on the way back. Maybe pull the bleeder...
Sorry I misunderstood that the forks were different lengths extended, but you say they differ when compressed? I don't think that sounds good at...
Jake it is your money, but I'd shoot for a new OEM cap before the thermostat (also, that latter is a giant PITA) to extract). Coolant should not...
It's always good fun taking an inappropriate bike on an adventure, but you're braver than me doing it in the dark. I inadvertently took a long...
Thanks SFD; in my mind all rides are irreplaceable. One day, I'll be too old/infirm and then happy memories will be all I have. YOLO.
Errk... MUCH too hot. Bet the beer was cold though!
I do think the plumbing to the wax unit has a blockage. The wax unit is also exposed directly to engine heat, so if you riding in cold temps the...
I headed off before dawn for a spirited 350km run on the VFR today. As it is mid-summer here, the initial temperature (10C/50F) was a little...
You might also have some crud in the fluid return port in the clutch master that is holding some line pressure when the lever is released. A strip...
Partzilla are a good source of OEM parts, and in my experience, reasonably priced. A genuine cap is $18.27, 19037-GEE-710 but you should be able...
So sorry to hear about your prang, OO. And a real PITA not knowing why it happened. My last crash in 2015 happened on a great sunny day on a dry...
As I said my experience with AllBalls fork seals and steering head bearings has been great. I get a little tired of visiting my local Honda dealer...
Sounds to me like your cooling system might need some love. Lots of older VFR's (my 99 included) have needed new thermostats installed, the old...
I have used All Balls parts in the past with good results. Some suggestions: Break loose the fork cap before you pull the forks out of the bike...
So...who is the fairing supplier that you'd recommend? I bought some 5G parts from Auctmarts and they worked out really well, I sent them a...
A better thing to do (a little more major perhaps) is swap the lower fork legs for VTR1000F units (use the 3/4/5 uppers) and then get some decent...
Yep, still liking that a whole lot, Owned. Thanks for sharing.
