The ST1300 has a mechanically similar setup to the VFR, and owners that clock up big mileage. Here's a link to a useful guide....
A locking back brake is often a result of the secondary master cylinder on the left fork leg seizing up. The 800 has great brakes but they are not...
I'd say that is just a casting mark, not a flaw. This was my VFR.[ATTACH]
That is a very good point. Calliper or slave cylinder pistons usually have gunk that accumulates in them as the lowest point in the system. Not...
I think you'd do much better with a vacuum bleed to get everything started, that is what Mr Honda recommends, but all brake systems (including...
So what's the difference? I ike the RT valve bodies because they have a bigger port area than stock so tend to offer less inherent flow...
Ractech make some good parts for the forks; the stock spring rate looks pretty low (0.67kg/mm) for your weight, so at the very least a set of...
The wiring diagram shows that the healight bulbs are wired in parallel and have dual filament bulbs. Both low beams, or both high beams, should...
Lack of charging of the battery could be a stator fault, the stator connector failing, the RR failing, or the battery failing. The connector for...
Sounds like you need to put the ABS system into diagnostic mode and find out what is causing the fault. The manual can be downloaded here:...
I've never heard of this happening on an ABS-equipped vehicle. Does the ABS fault light come one when this happens? Or does the brake start to...
Just to add my 2 cents worth (or whatever is the equivalent, allowing for inflation). There will be a recommended L/R order for the bearing...
Did you have the fuel pump out of the tank? I wonder if the flange has been rotated so the fuel banjo is not in the expected position? Pure...
Are you positive that the throttle bodies are fully engaged with the cylinder head/inlet rubbers? If not the airbox lid will be sitting too high.
First you have Open Garage night, and now I hear you have a Guest Bike. I booked my flight, I'll be with you on Tuesday!
Paging Dr @Grum Graham will do a much better diagnosis than me. But to trigger the starter solenoid you need continuity to ground through either...
100% agree. When I did my original 5G fork swap, the end result looked 100% stock as they were all genuine Honda parts of a similar vintage.
I suspect that you will be able to re-use the 6G fork inners with the CBR lowers and maintain a stock fork length/geometry. The fork length is set...
I can't make it this week but I'll try for next week. Looks like a great way to spend an evening!
