I do something like that on my VFR1200 but place a block of wood on the jack that passes between the headers so that lifts on the sump, not the...
85 to 95N/mm is a pretty good rate for straight rate springs for an average European-sized ride (not a Japanese jockey).. The code on the spring...

Welcome aboard Maschev. I'm probably biased but I think a VFR800 represents the most fun per Euro that you can have on two wheels, as well as...
This guy is looking at an 86 VFR so it has damper rod forks. I expect that the pulling up advice is probably not needed. If you pull up, the...
If you have a multimeter you can test the sending unit in the tank yourself. It is just a variable resistance device, where the resistance...
I had a couple of rides over the weekend as the weather and other duties allowed. Unfortunately my take on the K-tech parts is not that positive...
If you were looking to "modernise" the insides of the fork, I can heartly recommend the Racetech Cartridge Emulator plus some new springs, I used...
There's nothing too exotic in there. The hardest part is likely undoing the socket bolt in the base of the forks and I can recommend you use a...

Watch Assen, two great races, Czechia also pretty good, Balaton was not worth the price of admission.
I took a close look at the K-tech fork valves last night, including recording the shim stacks and the port sizes. If anyone was interested, the...
The rear centre piston is driven from the secondary master cylinder (SMC) on the left fork leg which compresses when you use the front brakes. If...
An old riding mate has one of those and let me have a turn. That front wheel feels a long way away and the fat bars felt pretty odd, but a lovely...
I did a trial assembly last night, I was slightly concerned about how I was going to unscrew the old rebound assembly from the damper shaft but it...
Of course I had one of those, back in the day. Well, not really. But it was the same colour and a V4 so that's got to count for something. Enjoy...
OK...I know I said I would leave the forks alone, but I just couldn't help myself, and went back to Brook Suspension and hit the buy-now on some...
This has become one of my standard practices with old(er) bikes, pull all the fuses and all the connectors, clean any tarnish off and then spray...
