Wow, sounds like my day yesterday. I left my company car at home and did a customer visit for work on my ST1100 yesterday, which based on one...
Quite right Gavin, everyone needs a copy of the manual for their bike. I found this one...

It is not unusual for the throttle cable slack to change when swinging the bars through a full arc. As long as at the tightest point there is...
On my 5G I was able to slip the shock in from below but I had to move the swingarm up and down a fair bit to do so. And for that reason I pulled...
Bubba I bet your clutch lever is not activating the clutch switch; this sometimes happens with aftermarket adjustable levers. You should be able...
IIRC that pink wire was never connected from new. These purple bikes were leftovers from Canada I think, our local Suzuki importer is a dab hand...
[ATTACH] I owned this one from new in 96 to 2014 and ran up nearly 60,000km. A good solid and fast bike, but not user friendly and characterful...
Looks like US$44 to me: https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/16044-MCW-003?ref=cb5b5abfe7f13bc001b8f36d0426c12fffa83abc
I gave up supporting my local Honda parts supplier; the guys who work there are great, but the support from the importer (Blue Wing Honda) is...

Glad to say my 99 model has NO wax unit; if I don't like the fast idle, I can adjust a lever on the bars! The idle speed is controlled by air...
I've got Hot Grips on two of my bikes, the VFR install has never given any problems, but I had an intermittent fault on my ST1100. On...
It's been a few decades since I owned a VFR700, but I recall there was a charcoal canister for gas tank vapors, as well as a PAIR system on these....
I spent most of last evening covered in dirt and oil. That's right, it was valve check night! I thought that as my 99 has just celebrated her...
You can check other model parts compatibility through sites like Partzilla; in this case the cam cover gasket is specific to the 5G 98-01 only. My...
The cost was NZ$175, fairly trivial in the big scheme of things. I’m also a convert to more training and have done a couple of Ride Forever...
Just for something different I headed out on a Suspension Tuning Ride day, organised by a local m/c training provider, and featuring the...
Time for a nice summer evening ride for me: [IMG]
