That sounds about right. :) It definitely sounds a lot better now. Mine does the same, and I've figured it's the engine warming up enough to...
Ok, I see what you mean about the popping, right when you let off on the throttle. I can't see the temp gauge, but I assume this is fully warmed...
cross-posting to this section, since I know this is where the early-gen aficionados hang out, and the Ad section seems broken (I can't edit any...
At least it has a pan. My wife's hawk is a clamshell design... now THAT is a pain to work on.
Getting it caught in the gears (or a valve) would have been very bad, it was good that it fell into the pan. Hope it's back together soon.
Have you checked each of the locknuts on the valves you adjusted to ensure that they're properly torqued?
Do you have a small magnetic "thing-fetcher" could be good to probe all the dark corners and crevices in the head to see if it can be found.
Although that pic of the '86 is just shocking. It really doesn't look any different than my '86 (aside from saying 750 and all the stickers). I...
The fork upgrade I did on my '86 was magical for handling (Lindemann). Almost as magical as the shock that Jamie built for me. The bike handles...
And with it, why was the front making the same noise? (or have you not gotten there, yet?)
That's what I was afraid of. Now, you have two problems: 1) find the nut, do NOT do anything else until you find the nut 2) re-adjust that valve...
Seems more like it would be fuel related than heat related (lots of air to cool things off at those speeds, and lots of coolant flow at those...
That's the scissor gear I was talking about (I think that's the right term). Without the spring-loaded gear, it supposedly sounds like a ducati...
I checked mine before I rode home today, and with the fairings on, and my head next to them, the exhaust dominates everything. Next in loudness...
Ok, then the mic didn't pick up the full sound. Here's mine: VFR700F SuperTrapps - VFRworld Photo Gallery Did you need to adjust any of the...
How many baffles/spacers do you have in your supertrapps? Yours are shockingly quiet compared to mine (I have 8 in each). And yes, that's far,...
Mine are pretty noisy, too. Always have been, I checked the clearances, and all is good there. Although they're getting due for another check......
Just buy new hose, and cut to length.
Sorry, no can do. (worried about karma with *my* wife).
I'm not sure what's going on there, but my guess is it's leaking, and misfiring while cold, which is why you're seeing fuel there. Once it warms,...
