Those are 35lbft from memory. As you say that is pretty tight. When you fitted the repair kit did you carefully inspect the bore for scoring? A...
I hadn't realised it was two in different banks. I thought it was two at the rear, the two that are highest in a bike on its center stand. The...
That tells us what was found in the cylinders, but was there actual coolant - even separated gunk/crystals and water that used to be coolant -...
I'd second that request to know if it occurring before or after re-starting after you have initially warmed it up. Also hearing exactly what it...
So... You just want to lift the front up whilst you slip off the wheel, but you want to save as much cash as possible? Here's a free hack. I'd...
This may (or may not) help. You can make each cylinder the same, which is the general advice on here. Or you can follow the manual and set the...
Great pictures. Nice job. I bet your front brakes have a lot more feel now.
I'm more of a carb' guy, and there are plenty of others on the forums with far more experience of these, but I'll make a few suggestions if I may?...
That is a very impressive machine. I see the seat, vfr800 mirrors and can. Plus a side reflector just behind the fork. What else has been done...
Looking at the Honda parts list: Front pads set: 45105ML7405 Rear pads set: 43105MY7405 They are indeed different. Close, but different. If...
I wouldn't go pulling anything apart if I didn't need to. There are some clock face overlay printers on the web if you hunt around a bit. They do...
Is there only one test center in Belfast? Could you get a second opinion? I last heard of this sort of thing happening a very long time ago....
I'll second that suspicion. Also that is a very sensible question. The angle on the plug photos didn't show the central insulator, but the tip...
It was a point originally driven home to me when my front brake lever met the handlebar late last year. Luckily a second pull restored stopping...
I forgot to respond to this section of the OP. If the plugs are new and correctly gapped, then the fuel/air mixture is the next suspect. The...
Nicely done, and nice photos too. Having seen what the clutch seal looks like, I wonder what the Front Brake Master cylinder seal is like? And...
"so is it a problem or not?" Yes it is. These V4 are silky smooth when working properly. 120Kph is in the area for 17" and 18" wheel vibration....
NP. I forgot to mention that I couldn't get direct access to the bore with a drill-held-brush because the chuck is too wide and gets in the way....
When I did that I then went up in grades P3000, P5000 to P7000 grit. After that I used brasso (yes, really) to get a properly polished finish. I...
Also need to check inside the oil filler cap for any oily micture that looks similar to mayonaise. That'll be coolant entering the engine casing....
