It was for me.
Not according to the instructions that I downloaded. I bought these bars, so I will be able to say for certain in the next week or so when I fit them.
I have done the PAIR but not the flapper or snorkel. P AIR involves blanking the ports that inject air into the exhaust to help burn off residual...
Or tucked under the tail in the rear wheel well (both my VFR1200, MT-10 have this).
I bought a Hotcams shim kit many years ago, and have topped this up as needed. I bought some spares from Aliexpress recently and these checked...
As long as maintenance has been kept up, there is little reason to be concerned about 59k miles. Obviously it won't be new and items like the...
Patience, and lots of it! You can check the standard valve clearance without disturbing the cams or tensioner, but to check the VTEC calves...
I don't know why, but the clutch line seems to be the worst for trapping air; you almost certainly still have air in the system, unless you put...
Behold - my redneck bead breaker! I have had a decent run just using a garden spade (place spade on tyre near rim, and jump on) but the T32s from...
I would expect this chart would be a bit more accurate between the 6th and 8th. [ATTACH]
I bought an 09 last year and IMHO the VTEC transition is smooth enough, you know when it is happening but it is not upsetting in any way, and just...
Can you use a piece of rubber tubing over the bolt head as a flexible driver to get started?
I feel your pain mate. BTDT on a few bikes, sounds like refitting the exhaust stud nuts on a Vespa 300 which requires you to work upside down and...
Wow that is some thirst. If you can smell it, then I assume it is leaking on/around the engine and evaporating away so there is no liquid trace...
True...with the right tools. And if the previous "mechanic" was kind enough to put some grease on the o-ring. I have an impact driver and 6-point...
You can put 12v directly onto the starter solenoid outlet terminal and the chassis ground, which would power the starter motor and test that but...
I think you've gone above and beyond here. IIRC those cylinder head drains only let out the last few dregs that can't drain out though the drain...
Could be many things. If a carbs overflowed and drain into a cylinder while parked you could have a hydrolock situation. I don't think that is...
I'd be terrified that my wife will find the receipts and add up all the money I have blown...
Yikes; that's more like what happens to the linked brakes on the ST1300. Glad you and your bike are OK. On the 1200 I think the likeliest failure...
