Jake it is your money, but I'd shoot for a new OEM cap before the thermostat (also, that latter is a giant PITA) to extract). Coolant should not...
It's always good fun taking an inappropriate bike on an adventure, but you're braver than me doing it in the dark. I inadvertently took a long...
Thanks SFD; in my mind all rides are irreplaceable. One day, I'll be too old/infirm and then happy memories will be all I have. YOLO.
Errk... MUCH too hot. Bet the beer was cold though!
I do think the plumbing to the wax unit has a blockage. The wax unit is also exposed directly to engine heat, so if you riding in cold temps the...
I headed off before dawn for a spirited 350km run on the VFR today. As it is mid-summer here, the initial temperature (10C/50F) was a little...
You might also have some crud in the fluid return port in the clutch master that is holding some line pressure when the lever is released. A strip...
Partzilla are a good source of OEM parts, and in my experience, reasonably priced. A genuine cap is $18.27, 19037-GEE-710 but you should be able...
So sorry to hear about your prang, OO. And a real PITA not knowing why it happened. My last crash in 2015 happened on a great sunny day on a dry...
As I said my experience with AllBalls fork seals and steering head bearings has been great. I get a little tired of visiting my local Honda dealer...
Sounds to me like your cooling system might need some love. Lots of older VFR's (my 99 included) have needed new thermostats installed, the old...
I have used All Balls parts in the past with good results. Some suggestions: Break loose the fork cap before you pull the forks out of the bike...
So...who is the fairing supplier that you'd recommend? I bought some 5G parts from Auctmarts and they worked out really well, I sent them a...
A better thing to do (a little more major perhaps) is swap the lower fork legs for VTR1000F units (use the 3/4/5 uppers) and then get some decent...
Yep, still liking that a whole lot, Owned. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, I'll have to call in one day and feign interest in a Triumph! IIRC that business used to be owned by (struggles with failing memory) a...
Just out of interest are you sure you have the top-out spring installed? This sits on the outside of the damper rod and is what limits maximum...
The disc bolts are steel threaded into alloy, so IMO it is unlikely they can be torqued high enough to stretch the steel. I cleaned and re-used...
I saw a suggestion recently that you could push a decent-sized screwdriver through the swingarm/engine as you pull the bolt out, which would keep...
