With a 180 degree crank and the half-speed mechanism of cams, it would seem likely that the cam lobes would be 90 degrees out from each other so...
Glad to hear you made it home with a running bike, Jim. In my experience, you describe a typical modern battery failure: works fine when cold...
The oil light should only be on when the oil pressure is low and the circuit to ground through the switch is completed. So for the light to be on...
Leaning to one side could just be the position of the front wheel axle in the left clamp. The right clamp position is fixed by the big axle nut...
Just to add my two cents, I now have a CBR600F4i fork/brakes/guard in 6G VFR triples, and I'm still using the 5G wheel, discs, axle and spacers....
That is interesting Lint. I just put T30 Evos on my VTR1000 and have noticed an occasional bit of drift from the back end on turn exits...
Congratulations. The new F800GS is in the post, just hope your mail slot is big enough and USPS don't crush it too badly. I can only pass on the...
The only sensor that might be affected is the inlet air temp as it sits in the floor of the air box right below the filter. Easy enough to access...
I noticed the bit of bare wire shown on your picture looks pretty corroded, so maybe the corrosion is between the wire and the terminal i.e. at...
Looks like a good save if that was still working. I wonder how many stator or RR failures have actually been caused by this connector failing?...

I'm not sure that the alignment has to be dead-on, as the hydraulics will be self-centering to an extent. Just seemed like a good idea to get it...
Looking very good there. I would have bought some of MD's adapters when I de-linked but he wasn't planning on making more at the time, so I made...
I fitted an Angel GT to the front of my ST1100 and have just ordered a replacement. Very happy with the feel and traction. I'm told that the Angel...
Does anyone know for sure whether a low-mount muffler intended for a 6th gen will definitely fit a 5th gen? There's a Yoshimura slip-on for sale...
Short one on the left side.
Took the VFR out yesterday for a great autumnal jaunt to Kaiaua and back through the Waikato to home. Stopped at a favourite spot (Findlay Rd,...
That's good basic science right there. If it separates you will have water in there (at the bottom of the oil). If it burns, you have fuel in...
Separate names with a comma.
