Just a suggestion, there's a business called Happybikes.co.uk that specialises in water pump repair kits for the Honda ST1100. I bought the kit...
[ATTACH] I think you mean #6? https://www.partzilla.com/product/honda/64101-MB2-000?ref=c65e063ad876583f23474a6ed02c915a053822ae...
I lived to do lots of other stupid stuff. You do realise that some of us don't live in the US? I am just in the red circle somewhere... [ATTACH]
Yes, I was both simple and youthful. I am only one of these now...
[ATTACH] Trip meter shows tenths, odometer is whole km. 92,327km in the above photo.
I crashed my VF on the road, I did a "how fast will she go?" test (about 215km/hr IIRC) followed by a "how quick will she stop?" test. The answer...
Well, that takes me back to 1984. I had that very same colour scheme, sadly my photographer girlfriend was going through a black and white...
I'm not selling mine, but I have bought off this company in the Netherlands before, and the freight was not too excessive (I am a LOOOONG way from...
A-hah! So actually it is a (loose) hair guide!
Here's how the big H says to do it (although I know it is unmanly to read a manual...). [ATTACH]

Here's a lovely 5th gen to whet your appetites. I'm just back from a cracking Spring ride of about 360km, which was very fine indeed (and not just...
You will find that cartridge damper in the XX is the same as the 6G and indeed in the 5G. They all respond to the same improvements to take the...
Spend a little money on your Blackbird's suspension. There's nothing fundamentally different between the 6th and the XX in terms of componentry,...
I'd be most concerned about the tyres (old/hard) and fork seals (probably going to leak from lack of use). After that the brake reservoirs should...
Well done! On my VTR1000F (which had a similar drain) I got quite a quantity of cruddy stuff from that area, as I doubt it had ever been opened...
The manual says 2.92L in the engine and radiator, 0.9L in the reserve tank. I doubt you will ever get every last drop out of the engine when...
Quite correct Mike. I guess my point was that numbers can be scary but anywhere within the "normal" range is doing no harm to the engine. So while...
