Yes, test drives are very informative. You can get good feel for condition of bike. That's great deal on hotel. Turn trip into vacation! :)
Hey, good job figuring this out!!! :) Odd that bolt was bottoming out and not clicking torque-wrench though. Strange.
Problem is downstream of fuse, not right at fuse itself. Might be scratch in that power-line to clock that's shorting against frame or other...
I lost thousands of posts on VFRD. Luckily, since I post similar things on multtiple forums, wiring-diagrams, no-start troubleshooting, etc, I...
Well, I think lots of them are just testing waters to see how much interest there is... Or they "know what they've got" and think you should cater...
580ma is way, way too high. Should be in 10-12ma range max. Is it only clock itself? Or is something else sucking up extra? Troubleshoot circuits...
Yeah, pattern copies tend to use harder more fragile plastic housings. Can typically tell because they're pure-white while originals tend to be...
You're welcome! :) Yeah, I usually start with perusing Sumitomo catalogue for part# of connector I'm looking for. Then I search for that part#....
This is 8mm reduced-shank 10.9 bolt. Reduction to root-diameter of threads at beginning has some benefits: - gives bolt more "springiness" to...
No way to bypass leaky petcock, other than making even leakier. Better to find where it's actually leaking from 1st. Use coloured dye in petrol....
Should really confirm there's something messed-up in threads of bracket before running tap through. Better to use thread-chaser in this case.
You're welcome! I'm thinking there may be something inside bracket threads which may be damaging bolts? 5. Since these bolts come with...
@BrokeDownBikes , how's progress? I'm going to start from very beginning and go over theory of operation as well as testing procedures of entire...
[ATTACH] 1. Is it #29 that you're snapping? 2. sure you're looking at NM scale on torque-wrench and not lb*ft? 3. are these brand-new never...
Here's list of suppliers I've used over the years. I need to check my paperwork, last year I was able to find ST1100 RR hybrid Sumitomo connector...
Sorry, got mixed up with my VF500, which has F2 forks. Did those first and got F3 for RC24 so I can use larger rotors. Off ST1100 I think.
Yeah, woefully inadequate for 1000! I'm using 0.85 springs in my track Ninja 250 with GVE and 10wt oil. On my RC24 with F3 fork, about 1.05...
Not much of weight difference. Most noticeable difference is in control when you set spring-rate to match your weight and riding style. Along with...
Dielectric (silicone) grease is non-conductive. It was invented to insulate flyback transformers in old TV sets. It is forbidden by BMW, Cadillac...
Good to get some measurements and confirmation to be sure! :)
