Sorry, wasn't casting aspersions there Jim. I'd do the same. I straightened a front brake disc carrier and lived to tell the tale!
I hope you gave yourself a warranty for the wheel straightening work Jim!
The air tube is there to allow you to add some air pressure to the fork, which adds preload to the fork and will change the ride height. You can...
I ordered a Hot Cams shim kit when I did the shims on my 5th gen. IIRC you get 3 shims per size, which may or may not be enough multiples, but you...
There's no question in my mind that the 6th is a much better looking bike than the 5th, and I'd prefer a 43mm fork over the 41mm in the 5th gen. I...
I wouldn't try to fix that clutch basket; a new one is like $60 IIRC. I would say that part got broken in a decent crash, a big impact on the...
The seller will most likely prefer to avoid getting eBay involved and affecting his/her ratings. I had an experience buying a used brake disc from...
The only things that would allow the wheel to move to the side is either the swingarm pivot or the wheel bearing within the eccentric. It should...

I've owned a single, a couple of parallel twins, three inline fours, too many v-4s....but no triples. On my wish list right now is the Yamaha...
Niiice! I do love the look of that model, especially in pearl white! I bought a set of EBC friction discs, plus new springs, plus a new gasket,...
The advice to adjust your gear lever down a bit sounds right to me; you might also look at cleaning and lubing the rose joints at the same time....
That looks like it might be the fuel tank filler overflow hose. In addition to the high pressure fuel hose and return, there will be two other...
You're right Pawnboy, the thermostat will keep the temps up around 80C/176F no matter what the fan/thermoswitch is set to do. A thermoswitch that...
I did this to my 5th generation VFR: Fork lowers and cartridges and caps from VTR1000F 0.95 kg/mm springs from RaceTech Gold Valves for...
I agree with your diagnosis Puzzleboy, if the output is dropping as revs rise, the R/R is unwell. If the stator connector is poorly, you would...
