Here's a video of my bike puffing when I crack the throttle. Something is definitely getting into that piston but I don't think it is coolant...
At this point I am more inclined to think it is a stuck piston ring. But yes I am going to run the plug a while and see what happens.
That's the thing, I checked it when I got home today after riding about an hour and the oil is fine and the coolant definitely isn't oil...
According to the mechanics it held pressure indefinitely, checked compression in piston 4 and it was dead on the factory manual, rechecked the...
Getting the cooling system pressure tested, will know by the end of the day. I might have misspoke when I said coolant in the oil, there was...
Well for most of my time with the bike it was running on 3 cylinders, put 1k miles on like that, and it remained cool except in stop and go...
I cannot be sure if there is coolant loss, however, I am pretty sure oil is getting into the coolant as the liquid at the radiator cap is a murky...
Summary: Bought used 2004 VFR with 2376 miles on the odometer. Thought it lacked power and felt occasional surging. Found an oil fouled spark...
I am going to do it myself. Never done a head gasket before but having done everything else on my bikes before I see no reason to not do this...
Okay just to prepare me for the worst how long should a front head gasket replacement take? 10 hours?
Think I might have found the problem. One plug looks really bad so I assume I was running 1 cylinder down a good chunk of the time, also explains...
Another thing I noticed is the bike will not hold a steady RPM at a constant throttle position, will move around by as much as 1k rpms. No idea...
Yesterday I was being bad and trying to top my bike out, however, once I approached 125mph I noticed the bike starting to surge, naturally I...
I cannot resell it on moral grounds obviously. And yes it is for a 6th gen, dunno why I would post it in the 6th gen forum otherwise but having...
A guy I know totalled his VFR800 and has a Power Commander III USB he is willing to sell me for $50. My question is this: Is it worth it to...
[ATTACH] Just got home and the bike kept leaning. It is actually stable on the sidestand but the bolt is missing. Odd for a bike with only 3k...
My only issue with the bike so far is the vibration on the grips, need to get some heavier end weights!
I hope you like her.
According to dealer records both recalls did apply to my bike but have already been done. Great news IMO. Now I just gotta buy a used R/R and...
I already got a set of Pilot Road 3s just sitting in my bike area, will get them put on one of these days I suppose. Compared to my dead SV650...
