I know my 5th gen really dislikes an idle that is too low, and will stall very easily if the idle is much below 1200. My first suggestion is to...
That sounds like clutch rattle to me, and that is neither a concern or unusual. The idle sounds quite unsteady and suggests the carbs might need...
The SMC can get corroded if the rubber boot gets degraded. There is also a one-way check valve and a compensation port in the SMC that can block...
I did that (delink) on my previous 5th gen and Mellow did it before me. I fitted CBR600F4i forks and front brakes and was happy with the outcome,...
This is the most relevant file.
Brake bleeds don't go bad unless you get air in the system. The link that I sent (from the St1300 page) has a few tips on chasing air out of the...
I would not say that you need to do rear pads just because you bled the brakes. My comment was that you can end up with the same symptoms if the...
Ok, it sounds like we did basically the same procedure. Did you change your back pads as well? It is unfortunately fairly easy to do as I...
I feel your pain and have had a similar results after working on my brakes. You don't say if you changed the back pads, but I know from personal...
What a kind fellow you are Mike!
Dodgy plugs would be the easiest thing to swap out. You could also have a poor ignition lead or plug cap connection leading to a lack of sparks....
I did the same damage to my helmet on a city street at about 40km/hr when a jaywalker stepped off a median island in front of me; I swerved to go...
Can't argue with that Grum; wonder how that works?
If the float bowl gaskets don't seal, fuel leaks out, the bowls are not under any vacuum. I assume that the port for vacuum synchronisation is...
Well I am prepared to be amazed at Honda's cleverness but how does the Launch Assist actually achieve that? I can understand how a RBW throttle...
I must be missing something here. Are you suggesting that you fixed a high idle by changing a clutch switch? If so I can't imagine how that...
Mean machine Mello! My best riding buddy has a yellow Valkyrie of a similar vintage, I have only ridden it once but with that wheelbase it feels...
Maybe the action of unplugging and re-plugging the original ECT was enough to clear a bit of corrosion on a terminal somewhere. Stranger things...
It seems unusual for the seal to blow out; I get that a lack of sealant might result in an oil weep but I am very surprised that there is...
There's a decent fault finding flowchart available from Electrosport. https://www.electrosport.com/pages/technical-resources My short version is...
