That's pretty cool actually.
Thanks for the compliment. My second gear is fine, but I've always been careful about the 1-2 shift. Speed shifts are what did the damage and I'm...
Check the length of the springs compared to the OEM and make sure they aren't too long and are going into coil bind when they're tightened.
It does sound like there's an extra plate in there, or the clutch plates are hanging up on the clutch basket fingers. Everything looked kosher...
How many did you find when you pulled it back apart and checked?
Weird, I can't find anything on Google about Leo Vince being out of business. I found lots of places selling them including the underseat...
I use 80/90 gear lube with a Hawke oiler. I never had much luck with the chain wax, it just never seemed to last very long. That GreaseNinja is...
I just happened to come across it when I changed out a chain several years ago. I was as surprised as you to see those kind of dimensions in there.
The factory manual gives all the necessary measurements: Masterlink protrusion: 1.2-1.4 mm (0.05-0.06) Diameter of Staked area: 5.55-5.85mm...
Be sure to clean up all the dust from the chain and disc. That stuff is really abrasive.

A guy riding a 2006 calling the 1200 a "tanker"? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Now if you owned a '99 that would be different.
I've hauled a bike on an old Gold Wing and it isn't too bad. But that setup looks too high and too far back to be very stable. I think I'd give it...
If you can't see the advantage of a shaft drive then you've never had one. If you travel long distances and put on lots of miles, the shaft drive...
Yes, but only at 5,000 mile intervals and you have to use 75/140 synthetic if you're towing.
You might want to take the covers off, very carefully, and see how full they are. They don't need to be brimming, but they also need to have...
Sounds like they overfilled them.
Also check the front tire pressure. Low air pressure will make the front really heavy. Just remember: the VFR ain't no sport bike, sport touring...
A 1978 Yamaha XS750. Worst bike I ever owned and sold it as soon as I could afford it. I toured a lot in those days and that POS would not pull a...
Separate names with a comma.
