I think it very worthwhile for manuals but far less so for DCT.
Sabsteef in Europe does it. He's on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/sabsteef).
I have these on two of my bikes including my VFR1200F. You use the OE footpegs and they don't push your feet as wide as some of the other ones do....
Cable ties work. Never had much success with this. I think it compresses the air into smaller bubbles that can mover more easily up the hose to...
You need to work out how far the pads retract when you release the lever. If the pistons are moving too far back into the caliper you are never...
Thanks for the information. Have you done anything with the rear shock too, or just new fork springs?
Well, I did it. There are splines at both end the driveshaft. They could slide but they don't as they are fixed by an external circlip (front) or...
Nope. I was wrong. There are splines at both ends of the driveshaft. The recall pdf describes the procedure and clearly states they require...
Answering my own question. No splines or bevel drive in the rear hub in the VFR requiring grease. They are all lubricated by the gear oil. At the...
I know this is a kind of zombie thread but there are quite a few reports of 6th gear transmission failure emerging. It starts with 6th but...
Coming from a FJR where owners were obsessive about lubricating the universal joint splines and the driveshaft splines I see very little noise...
Glad to see that engine will get used. It had outstanding compression when I measured it.
OK, that doesn't look good and this was an issue back in the day. There is a service bulletin that covered this and Honda supplied dealers with...
1,700 miles. An annual mileage of 50 miles. And I thought I was doing well with a 1,700 mile VFR800FiW from 1998.
LOL.
I have seen examples of people spending far more restoring absolute turds. At least the VF500 is a good bike to restore.
Yeah, I agree best left alone or at most a very fine paint polish. Once you polish it off there is no way back. Not a finish you see on modern...
Looks like that could use chelating agents to remove the rust, same as the ones I mention above. If you are a cheapskate filling the tank with a...
OK, the tank is a pity. If it had been stored full of fuel you wouldn't have those issues. There are plenty of guides for cleaning it out. The...
A bit like this then. [MEDIA]
