Hi everyone, Over the winter I'd like to try to shine up the ol' 5th-gen a bit, she has all the usual little scuffs & stone dings & weather...
Honestly I think it's unlikely that those O-rings are the problem, the cam train is at atmospheric pressure as it runs, so if those seals are...
Hi everyone, do we have a section for buying/selling parts? Just want to make sure I follow the rules. Thanks!
Not sure if there's a such thing as 'worse' when comparing valve guides or piston rings, the engine comes apart either way. If you're in the...
Hi folks, This is just curiosity, what started as looking up torque specs led to reading threads & posts (not on this forum) that eventually had...
Welcome back, I also just returned from a long hiatus (no idea if I spelled that correctly). the V4 roar is special, happy restoring! :cool:
hah, well yea, the ol' VFR doesn't have the raw power or corner grip that my RC51 has, one can't be compared with the other. One doesn't always...
Thanks, folks! Sounds like all is just as it should be. It does sound like a roots blower, that about sums it up. Nothing chattery or crunchy...
Hi everyone, My gen5 runs like clockwork and all the engine noises it makes have always been there, but I have a general question about cam...
We'll need to work backward from your measurement point, for which we need the wiring diagram. By 'kill switch', you mean the big red thumb...
Hi everyone, It's been ages since I posted, I figured I'd reintroduce myself. I've had my '98 VFR since 2014, she's faithfully carried me all...
Welcome! Ironic, isn't it, that the 97 needs less maintenance than the 2002? Gotta love gear-driven cams (cams are operated by meshed gears...
Hi everyone, Anyone here have experience with the Gilles VarioBars? They seem like a cool idea for their adjustability, and they're road legal...
Mine does this too, thanks for posting! 'Pecan shells' is a perfect description of the noise, at first I figured it was the speedometer cable...
Another simple check, could the fuel tank breather hose (overflow hose, I think it's called in the manual) be blocked? If fuel vapour can't...
Yup, not the bobbins, already checked those. Sorry, should have added that to the initial post.
Hi everyone, Been a while since my last visit, hope everyone's riding season has been as good as mine so far. I just finished a 16-day tour of...
Thanks, guys! As mentioned, I measured the tank after the shop gave me the dimensions of the 2k+ StompGrip pads, and I also looked at a bunch of...
I'm just about to go measure my fuel tank, I want to put on Stomp Grip (or some equivalent) pads and apparently the tanks from 98 and 2k are a bit...
