Sorry to hear about the bearings and crank, but no more internal mysteries for you! My only experience of this was back in the 80's, riding a...
Wouldn't that depend on how the system was configured? If the wheel speed sensors for the ABS are also used for the speedo then it sounds...
The wax unit is intended to hold the starter valves open when cold, and drop them back to rest on the idle adjuster screw when warmed up. I'd...
I've no personal experience with a 6th gen PAIR removal but I did it on my 5th gen, purely to reduce the engine bay clutter. The 5th gen does not...
I'd suggest that you also include the o-rings that sit under the cast elbows that bolt to the cylinder heads; these will have compresed and may...
You can download the service manual here:...
You'll need some vacuum gauge type devices to adjust the starter valves. There are four vacuum tubes parked on stubs either side of the airbox,...

If you can see the clutch plates moving a little then I doubt you need to bleed the line but it can't hurt. I'd suggest you simply have plates...
You could also put a jumper cable on from a car battery while the newer battery is in place; will quickly tell you if a lack of current is the issue.
I'm not aware that Honda made any changes to the brakes or fork externals on the 01 onwards; they did change the handlebars and the internal...
That's an interesting observation; I tend to agree that the small amount of run-out should not be a concern, actually it suggests to me that the...
I also own a VTR1000; the calipers are not awful, but I do feel that Honda used a poor combination of master and caliper pistons that made the...
[ATTACH] I sold my 1100 this year along with my 99 VFR, and bought the ST1300. I miss both but needed to rationalise things a bit. The 1300 is...
