It seems unusual for the seal to blow out; I get that a lack of sealant might result in an oil weep but I am very surprised that there is...
There's a decent fault finding flowchart available from Electrosport. https://www.electrosport.com/pages/technical-resources My short version is...
The blokes on the ST-Owners.com website are just as helpful as VFR owners if you get stuck. There's nothing they haven't seen and answered many...
If your bike is still in bits I can highly recommend replacing the o-rings under the coolant elbows that bolt to the cylinders. Very cheap, easy...
Relatively straightforward but the belt cover is surprisingly hard to persuade out of place where it locates at its lower end. When you are in...
My old ST1100; is this the easiest bike in the world to do a valve re-shimming on? Once the bodywork is out of the way, the cam covers are...
[ATTACH] I'd start working back along the relays; have a look at the manual, there's plenty of advice in there....
Actually that looks just the same as the unit on my Silverwing, and I also had the puzzle of reassembling the parts to get the correct action....
Isn't Albuquerque where the major drug manufacturers produce all the meth? Maybe a a coincidence?
If your bike has been parked up for some time there's a good chance the low speed jets (i.e. the ones that the engine needs to run at low rpm)...
The only bike I've owned with a parking brake was my FJS600 Silverwing; I did not notice any drag when that was adjusted correctly, but maybe you...
Do you mean the engine oil when it sprays out of the failed seals?
My VFR and my MT-10 both make a good clunk when they drop into first yet my ST1300 does not. All run the same fully synthetic oil and I am...
My VF500 was definitely capable of more than 110mph back in the day and I SO very nearly had the citation to prove it (but that is a story for...
I'm getting close to my knowledge limit here, but yes the SVs are always open (in their hot idle position) so there is airflow through them at all...
Fast idle on FI bikes is controlled by how much air the engine can draw in. On the VFR800 the throttle butterflies seal completely, so the only...
Sorry, I did not look closely at your user photo to see you're dealing with a 6th gen, not a 5th. However; the principle of operation is still...
I bought from Firefox Racing in the UK; no issues with their performance
I have no photos of the SVs on my bike at present, but eBay has a few sellers offering TBs with pics. This is one of the clearest/cleanest but the...
Me too; I have the YSS on my ST1300.
