What colour is the fuel / seafoam? I suspect that the layer on top is one of these two. It's unlikely to be wear metal because wear metal is more...
Hi Jason, Thanks for the info! Track day at Broady for $80??? Hell yeah! The VFR track day sounds good too! :D I'll PM you my phone number. I'm...
Mmmm... RVF1000... Now your talking! :)
Sorry for "grave digging" the old thread... Welcome to the track, Mainstage. Since you're in Melbourne, I'd recommend spending about $600 getting...
When my R/R died (fortunately, it only fried three headlight globes, then went to zero volts), I bought a high output MosFET unit from a R1...
They stood up to Superbike School on Sunday, but I'm sure the brakes would feel better if I had braided lines. :)
The brake lines are the original ones. The markings indicate the same year of manufacture as the bike, so I think they're getting a bit soft in...
You're certainly right. Trouble is... That would be customer service, and all that companies want to do now is to take your money and run... But...
It's interesting that you say this, chickunfut... The last couple of days in Melbourne have been hot (yesterday was 41deg C, or 106deg F), and the...
^ Thanks for the info. As I said in post number 8, I found that some codes are held active even if the fault isn't present. I cleared the codes...
It took me way too long to get around to changing the thermostat, but I'm glad I did. The old one was stuck open. The bike now warms up really...
Update: I've put in a new master cylinder kit, and it didn't make any difference. A friend with more experience on bikes had a feel of my lever...
G'day from Australia! I have an unusual brake feel issue in the front of my 5th gen. On the first brake application it's a bit spongy (it stops...
Sorry for digging up an old thread... When I replaced my discs and pads a few months ago, I decided to replace the caliper piston seals at the...
I've just replaced the thermostat in my 5th gen (82 deg C set point). Cruising, it now sits between 75 C and 77 C. Before, it was more like 65C,...
Sounds like the rectifier/regulator (AKA: RR) is on its way out (halogen globes are the first things to blow). It's a good idea to check the...
I recently did what you did, except I made a patch harness to go into the stock connector and used the Yammi's waterproof connectors at the RR. So...
The wires to the clutch lever are for the clutch lever switch. If you're in gear, you can't start the bike unless the clutch lever is pulled in....
My 5th gen was pink (faded from red) until I crashed it and replaced the fairings...
Pull the electrical connector off the clutch lever switch, and try it again. If it doesn't happen, it's probably The air box flapper valve opening...
