Yes its not logical but it is true. The flapper is closed in gear below 5500 rpm and open above that. Also it is open any time the bike is in...
I read somewhere that if you want to find out who loves you the most, lock your wife and your dog out of the house for a couple of hours, then...
Having re-read your original post I think Mr Hackaweek is correct about the fault being primarily electrical. Given the bike runs better with the...
Right below the oil filler is the clutch, and it is not unusual and fairly normal to get some rattle from that at idle. Listen again with the...
I'd start with a proper carb clean, there's no way the brakes should have anything to do with the carbs. You are going to need to pull them off...
AM you could also try some Barrier Cream, your local protective clothing/safety gear shop should stock that. Pretty commonly used by people...

I'd be checking over the chain and sprockets carefully first. Maybe you have a bolt coming loose or need to replace the chain and sprockets, or...
You do need to leave a few very dark corners so small parts can fly off and hide as required.
There's no speedo sensor on the front. The speedo sensor is located on the sprocket cover, held in place by a couple of 8mm bolts from memory....
Beer fridge! Storage cabinet for all the chemicals paints etc. Hooks for hanging removed bodywork Air compressor and airline Impact gun Work...
So really what happened is you pulled the oil filter stunt, just to get your bike cleaned???
Anne-Marie I'm glad you survived that close call. Hitting the kill switch and coasting in was really smart riding, and I'm sure the engine will be...
Nice family portrait. I've owned all of those V4's at one time or another, my 400 was that exact colour and was an amazing bike for it's time.
As much as I am enjoying following Anne-Marie's trip, I think I'm enjoying reading about the VFRW field service team's exploits even more. Way to...
