My lovely yellow VFR800 already has a lovely Nitron R3 shock (courtesy of the PO) and my former ST1300 had a similar shock to the one I've just...
I'd have to say the 1200 was one of the easier shock swap jobs that I have done, the only downside being that to get the rear of the fuel tank...
Penetrating oil and a little "percussive maintenance" got them free. I assumed they got stuck on old dry fuel residue or something. When your...
That makes no sense. I have had the front end apart on all my VFRs multiple times and never an issue with bolts snapping. Are you using genuine bolts?
I was surprised to find the diode on my ST1300 hiding in plain sight in one of the fuse boxes. It looked just like a fuse but with three spades...
Where's Grum when we need him? This is the starter circuit for my 800 but they're all basically the same. Apologies if you already know all this....
The best I've seen on my stock 09 is 17.9km/L or 42 mpUSg, open road riding having a little fun but not going silly.
That will work for me. The weather looks good this weekend, let me know when you have paid for it and I will go and collect...
Welcome Mark, 2000 miles since April is good going. The 1200 is pretty different to the ST, did you know that Honda had planned to replace the ST...
Who doesn't love a shiny new shock? I ordered this at the end of March and it has arrived from the UK today. Looking forward to skinning my...
I agree with Mike's suggested straight-rate spring weights. Emulators are great devices and (in my view) a must-have on any damper rod fork;...
If you buy that NS I can look after it for "us". ;)
I used to buy parts from Partzilla pre-COVID, but now they've decided not to supply to NZ, so I switched over to Webike and couldn't be happier,...
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who can't get all my suspension mods straight in my head...
I bet there are the same on every Nissin master ever made...
To answer the question abut the 5th gen, these have a quite simple fairing structure, the fairing sides are one piece and use three of wellnuts on...
Sounds like a good diagnosis on the wax unit. When cold, it should be pulling all the starter valves open against their return springs, so no...
Refilling the adjuster is no big deal. Back out the adjuster knob and push the adjuster piston out fully (reaching through the banjo port with a...
The front brakes are just front brakes, there's nothing hydraulically linked in them to the back. If the front brakes aren't quite right then you...
I've no experience in this specific swap but the most critical thing is likely to be the steering stem length (If not the same) as you'll need to...
Separate names with a comma.
