You did a good job! The difference is too small to worry about.
Interesting summary! I did the flapper mod on several bikes, including a 5th gen VFR, and never had any bad effects of doing it. When I did the...
i'm a cynic on this topic. If both radiators were empty the engine would not be cooling well at all. IMO the engine would not show just 220F...
My Motion Pro jumbo has a press plate... It's just a small rectangular plate with a center locating pin and two adjacent rivet clearance holes....
I also use the Signal Dynamics BackOFF but i chose to flash only an additional LED light bar that I have attached under the license plate....
To me it sounds like you may have run over a tar snake in the curve. It's a real common road crack repair method around me and I've just grown to...
I removed mine last year and have had no issues at all. It sure makes the oil filter change easy! As I recall the only revision was to configure a...
I also have the same ones and agree they are a decent drop. It's 35mm or 1.375". I find that I do drag them on corners but not too badly. And I...
Only if you ride the bike backwards! I was wrong - this is a funny thread.
This was a great post! I fully agree! But in this thread we went a bit overboard and off topic from the OP, IMO. I hope this did not discourage...
It's not at all unusual to have black combustion byproducts inside the exhaust pipe. Water vapor and hydrocarbons are normal. As suggested, watch...
That's great! But... You're not done. IMO you should check voltage at idle and higher RPM and then test to see if there is any current leakage!...
Then charge the battery. It should measure >13.0V when charged. From your descriptions if sounds like your battery is probably bad and won't hold...
Remember that you may get a great price for a good bike on the front end of this deal but, when you go to sell it, you'll have a problem. The...
No... You are interested in total slack. The balance of up to down is not important. (As an example - If you were to put the bike in gear and...
The service manual is pretty good for this stuff... Put the bike on it's center stand with trans in neutral. Measure total play (down + up) in the...
This is a great idea - very inventive. I'm looking forward to the ride report. Is this the Airhawk R small?
I'm a few years older than you are and I've had back issues for decades. I've exercised and stretched for years and try to treat it well and at...
Sitting for 5 years in storage is not good but it sounds like previous owner did all he could to make the bike run well. I wouldn't be concerned....
So the temperature that you see and is displayed on the dash panel comes from the ECT sensor (engine coolant sensor). This sensor is in the...
