"Pull the diptstick"? When did they start putting those on the VFR?
Sure, not an issue. At least not for the transmission. A long term idle may not be the best for the bike's overall health. IMO anyway.
The stators don't short out so much as overheat from the amount of voltage shunted back to them from the R/R. Once the shunt R/R is replaced with...
After doing some research and thinking as you think, I've come to the conclusion that our thinking is not quite exactly correct. The excess...
It's pretty straightforward actually. If you physically look an an engine that shares oil with the engine and transmission, and the oil sump is...
If you take the chain off, no issues. Otherwise it's a bad idea. If you check the oil diagram schematic you'll notice that the gears in the...
That sounds about right: 8%-10% high is pretty normal. A cheap bicycle computer will clear up the confusion for a few bucks. '][IMG]
Yeah, I was reading about their problems and they said that while motorcycle sales were down, overall profits were up.
Personally I wouldn't mess with the turn the bike over once in a while deal. Most of the wear on an engine is when the engine is cold with no oil...
My initial thought is that the change cover broke when whatever happened occurred. The PO replaced the cover with a used one but reused the old bolts.
Yeah, some of those little bolts can be broken by overtightening, but not bent like those you posted. Heaven knows I've broken a few. :)
About the only thing that will cause bolts to bend like that is to put sideways force on them. Like maybe when whatever happened that caused that...
I quit putting Yuasa in anything after their prices went through the roof. I get mine from Wally World. They seem to last just as long and cost a...
LOL
No offense, but overtorquing a bolt isn't going to do that. Not unless the housing is at an angle. Overtorquing will result in pulled/stripped...
My wife has been riding, both her own bike and pillion, for over 50 years. She no longer looks like those "hot biker chicks" but she's more real...
Well, it does say "biker chicks" so if they're anything like regular "bikers" it's normal they don't ride. Maybe truth in advertising should say...
My gawd, don't people ever learn? Have any of them ever heard of Skully, or any of the other crowd funding products that took their money and just...
Wonderful, thanks for getting back and setting me straight. Always appreciated.
Just one clarifying question: one guy says the alternator only puts out a percentage depending on demand, the other guy says, and which I believe,...
