A stuck clutch won't stop the gearbox shifting. If it won't shift out of fifth, there's some gearbox damage. At the easiest that could be a...
Manny, sorry for the dumb question, but are you actually referring to the FI light? That will do a morse-code type pattern to indicate any faulty...
It's a good thing this a mostly US based forum. Our friends in the UK have a whole other meaning for "dogging", that also can involve shuddering,...
The V4 engine has an uneven firing order (which is what makes them so awesome) but they don't like to run much under 3k rpm under load. So keep...
It does sound like you've found your culprit, and it lives in the fuel tank. I'd be pulling the pump and filter assembly out to look for a...
Some great tips above! Grind the head off the old rivets before you attempt to push them out (or just chop through the chain with an angle...
A binding calliper seal might cause drag but I don't think it would prevent the pads releasing, so I would vote for a blockage in the return...
I use short, cheap chinese levers from eBay. Two fingers on the brake is more than enough, and I don't do traffic, so the clutch pull is no bother...
There are starter valves, and then there's the wax unit. The starter valves are basically small air bleeds that bypass the throttle butterflies....
There's no crush washers, and the bolts should be fine to re-use (they're under very light torque, into aluminium. Make sure you buy a new clutch...
I agree, the engine is definitely in residence. I can see the front and rear camcovers, the sprocket cover, the exhaust manifold and as Tink...
I'm with Norm on this. Either both front blinker bulbs have died, or there is an electrical gremlin in their circuit. Given both have stopped, I...
[IMG] Sadly I also share this space with my daughter's car, but I have got room for two bikes, a workbench, storage cupboards, beer fridge, a...
Brian, its good to see that you remembered the red wine and salmon, no decent maintenance session should be without those.
We never had that particular model available new locally, but we did get the CBX750F with similar chassis and engine, and I bought one new back in...
I faced that same puzzle reassembling my bike a few months back. All four funnels are identical, so it does not matter which way around they are...
That drain hole will let out any liquid that accumulates in the V. If you pour some water in there you'll probably flush out a heap of green dye...
If you hear the fuel pump priming when you turn the key on, and the lights are on, then you have battery voltage and live fuses. If the bike was...
Kizer (or should that be Verbal?) Earlier on you said: I'm getting NO voltage to the battery. By my reading of your tests, I think it is likely...
If we're thinking about lightening Brian's bike, I'd also suggest making sure that the 1.5 gallons of gas is unleaded. You don't want any of that...
