SOW is, once again, telling us that he's a pathetic troll that probably doesn't even own a motorcycle (he certainly doesn't know how to ride one...
Sun, rain, snow... I've lived in "eternally" sunny regions (CA) and places where the winters were pretty harsh (WA, Flagstaff AZ). Some get used...
Some bikes run their turn signals as running lights and some don't. I asked a fellow (senior) mechanic about this many years ago and he basically...
Welcome aboard neufi! In addition to the above, I'd take a close look at the cams. Cam wear, and the previously mentioned electrical gremlins,...
+1 with what Vfrcapn and Toe Cutter have said. Unfortunately, the complexity of that bike, coupled with the lack of replacement parts, can make...
Depends on what you've got and what your plans are; If you plan on running an OEM fairing then you'll, or course, need to follow Dukiedok's...
That thing is in really bad shape (probably due, of course, to coolant and/or water contaminated oil). Like Allyance says; you might get away with...
I, by chance, switched from sport bikes to a cruiser during the mid and late '80s (mint '82ish Yam 650 twin). Didn't think I'd like the riding...
An HD guy with a pic of his machine on his cell phone... Ten to one says he "customized" it with mini apes and forward controls... (you know;...
I'd "step away" from it for a bit to let your head clear. Then I'd start over by triple-checking the simple "how did I miss that?" stuff (done...
Ya sure, just tell the Judge that you were "warming your tires" just like you've seen racers do at race tracks...
Disconnect the fuel pump at the relay (just forward of the pump) and then connect it temporarily to the battery with a couple of jumper wires...
Do you ride dirt or Dual Sport? If not, why not give some dirt riding a try? There are some pretty cool DS machines out there these days....
A guy on the FB forum says that he's had problems with the master links on his EK 530 MVXZ chain. Says he has to "re-rivet" the master every 8K or...
Lots of good points have been made in here (pro and con). If this was a Yam 650 twin I'd say go for it. But this is a VF 500 that's plum full of...
1. You haven't mentioned the price, so can I assume that you're looking at paying more than KBB? 2. An '83 with no cam problems "so far" at 11K...
Nice work CB-1. Thanks for the photo and info. Another good thing about marine gauges is that they tend to be more shock/bump resistant than...
Welcome to the forums TW! Hi, my name is FMB42 and I'm happy to admit that I'm a VFR Addict (VFRA). I, and my fellow members, hope that...
Could be a leaky capacitor. If so, you'll want to replace the unit before it quits and/or before the corrosive fluid eats stuff up.
Glad you're going to be OK Z17. I'll also state that TNRabbit is absolutely correct. Laying the bike down is an accident in and of itself....
