What they said..... Yamaha RingFree might be something to use as well (full strength, coupla tablespoons in the spark plug holes). Mostly naptha...
I'll try to put the VFR in perspective if you haven't sat on one. I had an ST1300 and 2 FJR's. The FJR is the sportier of the two and I'd put a...
I suppose we should mention that torques are usually specified "dry", and must be reduced significantly when "lubricated". I'll never understand...
If the engine issue was a recall, then there should be a record of it if you give the VIN to the dealer. If it wasn't, then..... I dunno what to...
