Yeah, that's how I read it too.
I know three people that have had rotator cuff surgery and follow-up physical therapy. They all said the overall experience really sucked, and...
I've been riding bikes for decades, and never paid any attention to date codes until this century. And I don't know anyone else who did. We just...
Well, I've been through Ohio before. Does that count? :wheelie:
I figured that, just yankin' yer chain a bit. LOL
"Pull the diptstick"? When did they start putting those on the VFR?
Sure, not an issue. At least not for the transmission. A long term idle may not be the best for the bike's overall health. IMO anyway.
The stators don't short out so much as overheat from the amount of voltage shunted back to them from the R/R. Once the shunt R/R is replaced with...
After doing some research and thinking as you think, I've come to the conclusion that our thinking is not quite exactly correct. The excess...
It's pretty straightforward actually. If you physically look an an engine that shares oil with the engine and transmission, and the oil sump is...
If you take the chain off, no issues. Otherwise it's a bad idea. If you check the oil diagram schematic you'll notice that the gears in the...
That sounds about right: 8%-10% high is pretty normal. A cheap bicycle computer will clear up the confusion for a few bucks. '][IMG]
Yeah, I was reading about their problems and they said that while motorcycle sales were down, overall profits were up.
Personally I wouldn't mess with the turn the bike over once in a while deal. Most of the wear on an engine is when the engine is cold with no oil...
My initial thought is that the change cover broke when whatever happened occurred. The PO replaced the cover with a used one but reused the old bolts.
Yeah, some of those little bolts can be broken by overtightening, but not bent like those you posted. Heaven knows I've broken a few. :)
About the only thing that will cause bolts to bend like that is to put sideways force on them. Like maybe when whatever happened that caused that...
I quit putting Yuasa in anything after their prices went through the roof. I get mine from Wally World. They seem to last just as long and cost a...
LOL
No offense, but overtorquing a bolt isn't going to do that. Not unless the housing is at an angle. Overtorquing will result in pulled/stripped...
