Ok phase 1 completed. Not too much of a struggle to remove, one seized bolt in a rear connector clamp, and those gaskets put up a fight. Found one...
Not here; my guess is the fault will be in the detente mechanism around the shift star.
Thanks Gentlemen. In addition to the leak, I found non-standard nuts on the front studs, so I replaced those last week with OEM parts and...
I have a slightly leaking exhaust gasket on the front head. Aside from the noise, the bike runs well. I have new gaskets ordered but would like...
There's basically two parts to the gear shift mechanism, the detente mechanism that translates the pedal shaft movement to a one up or one down...
All my bikes have high km, my 5G has 96000km, my ST has 107000km and my VTR1000 (the baby) has 76000km. All of them have had some coolant hose...
The cheapest thing to try would be some new plugs.
Well if you want sound and smoothness, you need a 3rd, 4th or 5th gen, with gear driven cams. These add a certain exotic sounds that the 6th gen...

In the 5G service manual it states that the PAIR solenoid is open by default (i.e. no signal from the ECM), and closes when there is a signal from...
The word from those in the know (my best mate works for local m/c tyre importers), is that Pirelli Angel GT's are actually a Metzeler Z8 with...
Mate, I don't know everything! It was just a semi-informed opinion. It seemed to me that all the gears would be balanced more or less by design as...
I looked in the service manual, section 1 has all the cable run diagrams. The ground should bolt to the outside of the right frame member just...
Man I feel your pain. At least you got the bike running for a bit so there is light at the end of the tunnel! This sounds more like a spark...
I fitted a voltmeter to my 1999 5G, and installed a relay to power it. The positive feed goes from the battery post to an inline fuse, then...
With a 180 degree crank and the half-speed mechanism of cams, it would seem likely that the cam lobes would be 90 degrees out from each other so...
Glad to hear you made it home with a running bike, Jim. In my experience, you describe a typical modern battery failure: works fine when cold...
The oil light should only be on when the oil pressure is low and the circuit to ground through the switch is completed. So for the light to be on...
Leaning to one side could just be the position of the front wheel axle in the left clamp. The right clamp position is fixed by the big axle nut...
Just to add my two cents, I now have a CBR600F4i fork/brakes/guard in 6G VFR triples, and I'm still using the 5G wheel, discs, axle and spacers....
Separate names with a comma.
