Yea, this is a better take. I'm pretty diligent about turning the fuel off because of an incident on another bike where the crankcase ended up...
For sure--I've been sticking around my house as I monitor it. I only ventured further off Saturday because I knew I had a friend I could call on...
Forgot to turn the petcock from OFF to ON. Ran out in neighborhood probably 1/4-1/3mi from home. Couldn't get it primed by sucking on the vacuum...
Ahhh sorry Jim, I misinterpreted what you said. Yes, I can slide it right out. Both cable ends look really good, and I'd just lubricated it. This...
Am I not supposed to be able to? It'll slide all the way out the wheel side, but it will not on the tachometer side. The cable seems to be in...
Thanks for clearing up a question I've had for a decade. Also, I can't stop staring at that picture of your 500... my goodness, that looks...
How coincidental! Just ordered from RockAuto for the first time ever this week because my truck's AC compressor clutch pulley bearing is going,...
Thank you for writing this up--this should hopefully save someone from a lot of headache in the future if the Vesrah gaskets work out for you....
I am all ears on ideas for the next paint job! So long as yellow is the primary color. Once the mechanicals are sorted out, I'll begin worrying...
Knowing you're having similar issues helped me keep an even head about it. Misery loves company, right? Plus I set myself up by trying to be super...
You guys were right about the alignment on the forks--they were just all tightened up wrong. This was as good as I could do by loosening the...
I'll be honest, I still can't figure out who the manufacturer of the bodywork is. I've been visiting this thread on VFRWorld for a decade trying...
Clymer manual says 6-9ft*lb for "Cylinder Head Cover"
Thanks. Just got to relive that. This was the experience that got me to invest in a 1/4" torque wrench.
I turned my adblocker off on this site after I ran into this one on my phone back in March, lmao. It's so ridiculous it's hilarious. They're great.
Just as a conclusion to this, I was able to sand down one of the SWS 625 nylon shoulder washers and got it to work. There are probably much better...
The answer to that specific question is probably better suited to other websites, lol.
It's certainly one of the most comfortable bikes I've ever been on, and the only comfort modification I've done so far is heated grips. But you're...
I'd be pretty upset with that powder finish. My initial guess was that they laid it on way too thick and sent it to the cure oven at either too...
I think you're right on it just being twisted. I rocked the bike back and forth quite a bit and it looks much better. But I didn't do a good job...
