I never managed to decode the needles. I doubt that is your problem. If it bogs when you give it a fistful from idle then you can fix that by...
If you are methodical, it is impossible (but very easy!) to get it wrong. Make sure you follow the updated procedure in the manual....
If you disconnect the diode you will see the effect. It stops the neutral light coming on when you pull the clutch in when you are in gear.
The Honda manual had extra pages with a black border that explained how to do this properly. They were added later. You can find details here...
Hagon have been around for donkey's years. Definite mid table offering but OK. I had one on a VF500 and it was a lot better than the tired OE....
I got one from David Silver spares in the UK a few years back. You very occasionally see them on Ebay. They are a pig to fit in my experience. I...
Thinking about it if the block is the same then the mating surface between the block and cylinder heads must be the same too and one assumes the...
You can't swap heads between the 84/85 and the 86 as far as I know. The 86 heads are much wider and I have always assumed would not fit the block....
Try it in top gear then. The starter motor is on a clutch so you don't need to remove it. In top gear (6th) you should be able to rotate the...
Yh but the carbs on these things are notorious for clogging. Just the way they are.
Poor choice of words on my part. Spacers under the fasteners to reduce the compression of the springs. [MEDIA]
In my case that is extremely unlikely. The bike only had 1,700 miles on it when I bought in June. Anyway having physio on the elbow now so...
The biggest resistance to the lever action will be the clutch springs. If you don't mind the clutch slipping at high speeds you could put a few...
I think you have too many bikes already.
Yep, Ireland is a tiny market. That website is in the UK so I am casting the net a bit wider. I am not that pushed to sell it. I really like...
Yh, he/she has got no chance. The 500s just seem not that popular. I am trying to sell mine, which is probably as good if not better than that...
I did pull the rod out and it was spotless. It was also very dry which I expect is normal but I lubed it up with engine oil anyway The combination...
I found the clutch on my (new to me in June this year) 98 FiW heavy too. So much so that on the long ride home after buying it I got really bad...
They are not Nikasil AFAIK. You can rebore/hone but finding parts won't be easy.
So the noise was piston slap? Sounds expensive.
