Hi. User SEBSPEED at vfrdiscussion.com is at least in the process of making adapters which will make it possible to fit some newer CBR rearsets...
A quick question about the exhaust pipe. Mine's rusty and I'd want to get it sandblasted and coated with something that will last longer than just...
Oh the amount of scrubbing... Finally the brake parts are almost all cleaned and first (rear) caliper is ready to be put back together. [IMG]
Piston seals will be replaced and also the rubber boots for the slide pins. The rebuild kits I got also have new pad retaining pins although the...
Ok, got it. There's no signs like that, looks good to me. I will also be replacing the water pump o-rings. [IMG] Here's what the stator looks...
Yep, I'll try this. You mean the mechanical seal inside the pump? Not yet but I'll take the water pump off next to see what it looks like. Do...
I guess now it's time to thank GreginDenver and the sticky thread there for getting me to think about the state of 20 year old rubber parts and...
I try to tackle that by taking a ton of pictures about how everything is positioned and routed. There are also good diagrams available on how...
That's a good idea, I'll try the vacuum to get the dirt away. The previous owner at least has used this pink ethylene glycol antifreeze, hence the...
Got the throttle body out. The inlet rubbers had turned rock hard and it took some time to wiggle the thing off. New ones ordered already. [IMG]...
On a side note, about those international delivery companies. Damn them all (and their messed up subcontracting schemes) to a place somewhere deep...
Got a bit more done last night. Getting the airbox bottom out was a bit tricky at first but eventually got it away. Next the throttle body. I'm...
Thanks. I like to keep the looks simple so I even got the Sargent with black piping. I have no idea how effective a regular computer fan such as...
Some more stuff came off the bike. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Now I bet no one here has seen this before... Crispy but not yet completely toast. I...
My garage happens to be more than halfway underground and well insulated so it stays warm with very little heating. I already have so long list of...
I'll soon be having an extra pair of original front rotors I could sell which have 4.0mm thickness (half way between new 4.5 and wear limit of...
The time has come. That is, the weather in Finland is starting to get so crappy that I decided to park my VFR for the winter. I did some planning...
A quick update. Since I among so many others prefer the looks of an RC36 8-spoke rear wheel AND was lucky enough to find one from Germany at...
I was thinking of a more heavy-duty sealed connector instead of soldering but then again you don't really have to take it apart very often so...
Mine too, or at least that's the info I got when I bought it. It's not causing any problems yet, as in the bike runs and battery is not drained,...
