Yep, should be black and clear with a ball to tell you how hard or soft to set your preload.
Congrats on finally getting a REAL '86!! Red spring on the Showa is stock and probably shot.
Master rebuild, seals and Mitvac all help.
You have a short somewhere- look for frayed or chaffed wires. Bad ground shouldn't pop fuses. BTW, an 86 750 is considered a gen 2.
If the studs are coming loose on that sprocket, it is toast- chuck it. Buy a new chain and a front sprocket while you are at it. You might have to...
That pinging sound doesn't sound good, you need to look into that. I usually see these bikes go for 2-3 grand with bodywork fully intact on...
Look for loose grounds, frayed connections. You'll need a schematic diagram and start from the battery and make sure you have continuity to all...
Change your oil as soon as possible, you don't want gas in your oil!
I dunno, I assumed they all were for these bikes.
You might want to try a waterproof sealed-type like here for your gen 2. No dash space to really slip it under, I have mine loosely mounted on...
Download the manual from this site, it will help you more than anything else. Look and ask here for the nuances.
Or repair it, that is ABS, yes?
I am assuming this shock is stock (because it has never been touched) and the writing on the spring is 6.0 X 800/152 X 14.3 . Maybe you spring...
Put some Heet in there if it is water.
Oh, even for driving them in? I figured you would want something sized specific but I guess as long as the pilot is as big as the bearing I guess...
Hey guys, I was planning on powdercoating my rear wheel on VFR#2 and figured it would be a good idea to pull the bearings and get some new ones...
I use the Honda bag tool on my plugs, it works great. I think you can still buy them.
I highly doubt it, it is probably as trashed as the first VFR I bought. Minor problems my ass. I am still finding new crap that the PO's trashed...
Did you check your valve clearances and adjust at the recommended intervals?
WD-40 is a good cleaner and water displacer but not a very good lubricant, just about anything else mentioned here will be a better lubricant than...
