I recently removed the ignition/steering lock from my 5th gen. The bolts are T40 Torx-drive and seriously loctited in place, and only slightly...
I have had perfectly good results just jacking up under the headers while the bike is on the centrestand. I also made myself a wood block of the...
Mike you might have a bit of debris lodged in the tiny return port at the master cylinder. I'd clean that out first, then flush the clutch line...

Sonic Springs are also a good source (fitted some to my ST1100 just last night) and cheap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I agree with Oz. Daugherty gives personal service and well priced products. Race tech has a great website and calculators, and I found their...
Thanks for a great story. I owned a couple of VFR700's and miss them, still the best paint scheme for a stock VFR IMO. Personally I wouldn't be...
In the corners is where setting up the suspension will pay off. I always target the behaviour after hitting a decent bump or hollow in a corner...
Suspension modification is a bit of an addiction of mine. I blame Motorcyclist magazine, they posted an article in 1984 (I think) where they took...
Your 500 has air-adjustable pre-load (7-21 psi range), and a 4-position damping adjuster (4 is most damping). More air pressure will raise the...
The DMr shim stack is very similar to RaceTech C33 with 3 x 17 x 0.15 main shims, although I now run it as C32 with 2 of those shims. The rebound...
Congratulations on your acquisition, Skippy. You get extra newbie points for including photos, and extra extra points for orienting the photos as...
Acquiring non-running VTR1000's is starting to seem like an affliction, Jim. But there do seem to be a few around where the front camchain...
I swapped the bar cores out of my 5th gen into 6th gen bars a few days ago. The setup in the 2014 looks identical, the long core has a couple of...
Managed a short, dark and cold (4C/39F) test ride. Stability is excellent, turn in rapid (but I've been riding my ST1100 whale lately) and aside...
The compression pistons are from DMr, with a pre-drilled bleed hole (probably 1.3mm but I've never checked). I think I lean more towards the side...
My guess is that you have either left a hose detached (e.g. MAP sensor) or a cable connector is not quite clicked home. I did that with the MAP...
Last night I finished up fitting the CBR600F4 forks to 6th gen triples into my 5th gen. I re-used the springs, valves and shims from the 5th gen...
Nice one Norm! Pack your winter woolies for the trip, it's 3C in Wellington at the moment and the Desert Rd is closed with snow.
