Always use the key to turn the bike off, never the kill switch - protects the kill switch contacts from degradation and puts the key in your hand.
My 2 cents for those looking for a 'performance' improvement, not replacing lines due to age: Modern rubber lines are actually quite nice and...
Well, I imagine the connector is a 3 pin plug; there's no way you can unplug only one lead, unless you had some specific tools to pull the wire...
I'd think if you just cut the third lead it would work that way (the running lead is going to be the other wire that is not green or orange or...
This probably won't help, but for future reference: I bet the VFR manual says to only use the key to turn the bike on and off, same as my 600RR...
I had to use the screwdriver method on my bike for first oil change as well, and during the whole miserable operation I also dreamed up a solution...
My tank has some nice exterior rust on it, so I cast my vote for steel as well.
Oh I would tear the entire front off - I don't have plastics, so there's no consideration for room there. 929, 954 front ends seem good, if not...
I'm in the same boat, my forks look like they've been underwater for a few months and while my brakes work 'ok' now, I want better brakes and also...
I usually re-use them, thought I inspect the heads; if the allen is starting to round anywhere, I like to replace them. Don't use red loc-tite (I...
I guess I only have hearsay. Shinkos got clowned on as cheap tires by other sportbike riders in my social circles, and became a go-to tire for...
Continental is a respected tire maker. I doubt their main offerings will be poor. I think you're fine, when you start dipping into Tomohawk and...
I run my '98 with no gauges at all; so I don't think dash connectivity is key to the bike starting or running. Or perhaps, he should try...
I had a similar issue, my '98 had buttons that were incredibly difficult to press, even after I opened up the pod and tried to re-grease the...
It seems crazy, but mine was doing the same and it actually was the cap. (I say 'crazy' because usually the cheap and easy fix is never what...
Perhaps a local metalworking shop ('shoppe') could take a couple cm's out of the stock stand and weld it back together.
Maybe a picture and some basic diagramming would help with input.
I like the idea of over guards for knees and shins. Put em on to ride, pull them off at your destination and put them in a tank bag or something....
Can this sensor be cut off the harness with no ill effects?
My other bike is a 2007 CBR-600RR. Track only now. [IMG] I don't really have a dream bike, but I would love to hoon around on a Duc 821 Hyper or...
