From what I've seen, the splined gearbox shaft should have a dot punched into the end, the stock position for the shift arm would have that dot...
Thanks for posting your resolution to this one Todd. Another one to file away in the "just in case..." memory.
I believe stator failures arise from a burned wire so I doubt you'd get an intermittent fault from that, it will either work on all three phases...
Surya here's a link to Partzilla showing the other Honda's that use the same seal as the VFR....
I have a 1997 VTR1000F that was made for the Japanese market and had a 180km/hr speedo and was restricted to that. The restrictor was purely...
I'm not sure about an 85 model, but all recent Hondas I've seen have a thin wire circlip set in a groove in the top of the fork tube that will...
I agree, the mileage is unimportant. You need to ask yourself what sort of riding will I do on the bike? Touring miles? Canyon riding? IIRC the...
Yes you're right about the camera position, it was just suction cupped on the tank ahead of the filler. Another cm would have been great. I did...
Here's another short clip recorded today, just for you northern hemisphere cold types! That whining sound is what 6th and later gen riders are...
Opinions vary, atx! There's plenty of roads just like this nearby, and I don't live in the best part of NZ for riding.
It seems unlikely that a fuel pump that was previously fine is now giving grief; all you did was disconnect the fuel hose and reconnect it. I take...
Thanks for the videos OOTV! Here's one I made earlier, using an SJ4000 camera suction cupped to the nose of my 5th gen....
Errmmm...nope. If you have low compression due to no valve clearance then you are already in valve burning territory. Compression values can also...
I think Allyance's suggestion regarding the throttle cables sounds correct, but as an alternative could you remove the clip-on off the forks (need...
I understand Gino, not a bad idea as getting under the throttle bodies is no fun. You might also consider replacing some of the hoses down there....
Given your original post stated the running temperature as 77-80C, I'd say your thermostat is fine Gino. That is absolutely the target operating...
This would be a great question for Jamie Daugherty (www.daughertymotorsports.com) as he rebuilds and sells F4 shocks. As far as I know, the...
You're going to have to go a bit further to get to all the hose clamps around the thermostat, like removing the throttle bodies. I was able to...
I never realised that the 1990 model was equipped with a cat!
[IMG]My 99 5th gen VFR has 92000km, and my 97 VTR1000F currently has 76000km. Aside from the bits you'd expect to fail over time like the...
