Woo-hoo, don't you LOVE fresh tyres? I got a pair of Bridgestones fitted today, the BT45 front and BT46 rear, would have been nice to get a pair...
The resetting clock is a sign of very low voltage during cranking, which means the battery is struggling to delliver enough amps at that point, so...
This popped up on our local auction site today, VFR400K....
That's awesome that you know how to do that. To most us, those are mystery boxes that either work, or don't! I daresay most dead electronics just...
Big day out on the 750 today, and I did about 120km non-stop on some country roads. The handling was OK but boy does it need new tyres, the front...
I owned two 700's and a 750, can't say there was a lot between them in terms of performance. on road AFAIK the only changes made were to to the...
I was "lucky" enough to have a self-removing liner in my 86...this is what fell out when I pulled the low fuel sender. Fortunately the liner is...

[ATTACH] Wrestled the 2nd hand stock pipes on today, probably timely as my old ones were starting to disintegrate, rust on the left side. This was...
That's what I thought from the auction pics. Truth is only the tank is in original paint, and that has a decent nutsack dent at the back. All the...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Thanks Waylander, that's not available here, so Evaporust is next. In other news I bought a new NGK plug cap, when disassembled...
Bender... [ATTACH]
I would be putting the battery on a charger, then firing the bike up, and measuring the voltage across the battery terminals with the engine...
Been doing some more testing today. I sorted the low fuel light (bulb) and the temperature gauge (corrosion in the sensor terminal). The earth...
Thanks DP. I am using the fuel tank (hard to road test with an IV bottle) and the bike has a a clear-shell inline filter before the pump, which...
Big day in the Mancave today as I pulled the carbs for a clean. Predictably found: 2 partly blocked pilot jets One stuck float valve Crud and...
I am a recent convert to Evaporust so might give that a go first. I think the rust is mainly lower down in the tank so don't believe I need to...
Thanks for the advice and the helpful links. I work in the chemicals manufacturing business so have ready access to pretty much anything I might...
Thanks DP; what would you be doing to the tank?
