I also use (and like) EBC HH pads but they do make noise when you use them; I don't notice any excessive noise from them otherwise. Definitely a...
That's not right and suggests the thermostat is not moving. The thermostat should stay closed and keep the coolant circulating just around the...
We're in the 8th gen forum here; 4-piston radially mounted callipers here so no sliding mounts involved.
Sorry; you really need to undo the banjo bolts and get those callipers onto the bench. What you can do (and this will sound counterintuitive) is...
"when the bike is running with the cap off it just dumps antifreeze on the ground in a pulsing pattern. If I burp the throttle the antifreeze...
The impellor is driven off the crankshaft through gears and a coupling shaft. I have heard of one case where the coupling had sheared (bad...
Some good diagnostic info there. When you crack the nipples nothing changes so you know hydraulic pressure is not the problem and replacing pads,...
Purple Ice is a corrosion inhibitor so the benefit will be to keep cooling system surfaces cleaner for better heat transfer. If your cooling...
I highly doubt that the different coolants will provide any measurable difference. They should both be 50:50 ethylene glycol and water as a base,...
Not so fast there chief. The coolant expands when hot, so some has to go to the reservoir otherwise all the hoses would probably rupture. The...
When I refurbished my 6th gen I fitted some wheels that had been stored for a few years. Even with completely rebuilt callipers and master and new...
Your procedure for getting the FI into diagnostic mode sounds flawed. On the sidestand with the engine idling should generate blinks. Or with the...
If you think the 800 has a slow-to-fill radiator system, just wait until you try a VFR1200...
No thermostat = slower warm-up, and when running with decent airflow, sub-optimal coolant temperature. I doubt it will affect idle in any way.
I had another opportunity for a mid-winter ride yesterday, after a foggy start the sun came out and dried most of the dew from the roads so I...
We have a handy website called Carjam which accesses data from the government records; all vehicles have to have a Warrant of Fitness test...
That sounds like a great trip, thanks for the invitation. I suppose I could ship a spare VFR to Europe for the occasions...
There's still time mate.
Sorry SS; I have to call you out on that reference, you are referring to another classic involving the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, and Tim the...
I think two wires to each terminal is probably correct as long as they're the same colour.
Separate names with a comma.
