Errmmm...nope. If you have low compression due to no valve clearance then you are already in valve burning territory. Compression values can also...
I think Allyance's suggestion regarding the throttle cables sounds correct, but as an alternative could you remove the clip-on off the forks (need...
I understand Gino, not a bad idea as getting under the throttle bodies is no fun. You might also consider replacing some of the hoses down there....
Given your original post stated the running temperature as 77-80C, I'd say your thermostat is fine Gino. That is absolutely the target operating...
This would be a great question for Jamie Daugherty (www.daughertymotorsports.com) as he rebuilds and sells F4 shocks. As far as I know, the...

I've been enjoying a Christmas break and having a bit of free time to catch up on a bit of overdue maintenance. First up was fixing a small degree...
Hell yeah! That looks like a keeper.
I bought my 1997 Superhawk super cheap, like $1800 of your US dollars, and have spent some time and (too much) money tidying it up with a few...
Lots of more recent Honda's (CBR600F4, CBR954, 5th gen, 6th gen) use a switch at around 100C. I can't see any issue with having a switch closer...
