I've learned a lot working on my bike in ways of tracing electrical issues...but is there an easy way to track down an exhaust leak? My bike (96...
The more I fix things on my bike, the more things I find to fix. I was taking off the gas tank while removing / draining my radiator, and I...
I just double checked the rad cap (it was snug, but I undid it, and re-tightened to be sure). Also checked the fuse, and it's good. Both good...
I spent yesterday doing some fixes on my R/R (it was a connector, not the unit), and riding today realized that my frame is getting crazy hot....
Twice I've had electrical issues with my VFR and it turns out that it wasn't the R/R either time, though signs pointed that way. Somewhere on...
I was working in the driveway yesterday on an R/R wiring issue, and when I took the bike off the center stand to roll it back in the garage, I...
Ah, gotcha, thanks. Pretty sure that the previous owner took those off, and when I ordered the new peg, it didn't occur to me that something was...
Is the feeler peg the little nub under the end of the foot peg, or is there a part I'm missing? The person before me had sawed / filed off the...

I had a friend, who's been riding much longer / often than, ride the bike, and he's pretty sure that it's my chain and front rotor. The chain and...
I had this problem back in June. The four plugs on the starter relay were coming off of the housing (rust / corrosion). I replaced that, but it...
After a long bout with the electronics on my bike, I finally got it running, went to see some family and the mountains. But the on the morning...
It works! Sorry, I'm learning, I really am. Slowly. All the vets were saying "check the obvious first, like fuses" with my electrical issue....
turns out it was the starter / relay and the connections to it. Replaced both and I get power again. Problem now is that it doesn't want to turn...
Been awhile, eh? I was teaching summer school, so there was a short repair window followed by lots of grading. Here's the latest: turns...
