I think your bike is a US-market model that was probably a slow seller in the US, and was offered to other Honda importers elsewhere to clear the...
Jim can you confirm the sliding pins are greased up and moving? If not you could be pulling the caliper up against the inner pad when you press...
Maybe teaching you to suck eggs Jim, but have you got the axle and left fork leg properly aligned? You need to leave the left side loose until...
The 98-01 service manual only has a single diagram and the RR has 4 wire outputs. The 6th gen has 5 outputs.
Sorry to hear that your new acquisition is misbehaving Jim. I think Norm is probably right that the master cylinder might need a clean out. I've...

I made some great student bucks in 1985 when my VF400F was rented for a Japanese domestic Bridgestone tyre commercial being filmed by a Japanese...
Sorry, wasn't casting aspersions there Jim. I'd do the same. I straightened a front brake disc carrier and lived to tell the tale!
I hope you gave yourself a warranty for the wheel straightening work Jim!
The air tube is there to allow you to add some air pressure to the fork, which adds preload to the fork and will change the ride height. You can...
I ordered a Hot Cams shim kit when I did the shims on my 5th gen. IIRC you get 3 shims per size, which may or may not be enough multiples, but you...
