I owned one of these back in the day. 16 inch front wheel but a good handler, great engine. Mine looked great in RC30 colours. Very much the...
There's a few options here I think. You could just replace the face on the speedo with a new one marked in miles. The odometer would still read...
Yes there are two clamps (the upper and lower) but they connect three parts (two fork legs and the steering head) so they are a triple clamp.
This sounds more like getting a Brazilian to me than a lowering exercise!!! Or did I mis-read something....
This could just be a worn spring in the shift mechanism allowing the shift drum to halt between gears. I fitted a Factory Pro shift star kit to my...
Definitely electrical, I'd suggest maybe a bad ground connection given the neutral/rev counter behaviour. Might pay to go through all the...
Good Job Jim! Because of doing this before, I own a 2-foot long phillips head screwdriver but have no toolbox long enough to keep it in!
I had the same experience the first time I pulled the airbox off the VTR...its kind of the same but different! You'll be best off removing the...
I've read your posts on the VTR forum so I'm sure what you say is absolutely true!!! I've learnt a lot from you. The only "special tool" I...
What part is failing? On my 5th gen just the cheap plastic coupling that slips over the countershaft sprocket but failed, and that was just a few...
I've got some very similar levers; great for adjusting the lever position to suit your hand size, but they don't change the clutch engagement...
You got that right. The rawness of the VTR is a great contrast to the sophistication of the VFR. Both of mine are red and my wife thinks they're...
Hi Jim I've recently bought a VTR to keep my 5th gen company. I find the same thing, that the VTR lever is most of the way out when it engages...
I agree with Squirrel, any more than that and I think you'll get interference between the wheel/guard and things like the horn or cylinder head....
Well that shouldn't happen after a valve service! Are all of the cylinders firing (are the headers all evenly hot)? Maybe you've got no electrical...
I think EBC HH pads are fantastic, so much better bite than stock. As for disc wear I can't really comment, my bike has done 90K km and the discs...
The stock clutch master on the 5th gen is indeed 14mm. If you use a smaller diameter master you will get a bit more lever movement but more...
If you do need to replace the shift shaft, the good news is that it is a pretty easy bit of surgery to get to and looks like a $50 part would be...
2 gauges is ok, you just leave one attached to #1 as reference and work through the other 3 valves one at a time. The other 3 all get set relative...
You connect those to 4 hoses that get parked on stubs at either side of the air box. Be warned that on the 5th gen VFR the synch is deliberately...
