So you know how Stray mentioned how Bubba did some repairs on that suzuki he bought? Well, I was the Bubba when I was trying to get a 1995 VFR750...
Jim, you wouldn't believe it... but I was sitting at an intersection today and I just happened to think of this post. I think I found a way to...
This is exactly where my mind went. The only bike I'd ever felt that throttle "snatchiness" at low to no throttle was on my FZR600, and a lot of...
Wow, that looks pristine. Just look how good the black paint on the headers looks! Also, it's starting to seem like owning a Hawk is a common...
Here's a link to several Service Manuals--many of them text-searachable. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uctrwcm62cx2cva/AAB5WtgzckzJIOe-oBdPlOCAa?dl=0
Neither the Factory Service manual nor Clymer manual specify the octane value. I just checked again (unless I'm missing it, but the word "octane"...
I was hoping to find some pictures of what it looks like when you just fucking remove the lip. Unfortunately it looks like the relevant pictures...
The clutch slave rebuild is probably a good idea to do. It's very simple and inexpensive. If it hasn't failed yet, it's going to soon after...
Those "Sleeves" look similar to all of them that I've encountered. You can get them pretty cleaned up using a wire wheel--but obviously it's...
Good deal. The Bikemaster and Emgo seem like the correct way to go for adjustable levers that won't be a complete gamble--though I'd need to go...
I do not. My search history is full of them, but it mainly brought me to amazon/aliexpress stuff that I didn't feel like taking a chance on...
Oh yea. Those EBC pads sure as hell made a difference. I installed those after cleaning up the rotors with a red scotchbrite pad and brake...
Here's a screenshot of page 14-17 of the VF500F service manual if anyone else is interested. I suspect the purple stuff probably works similarly...
I have been using this purple Permatex ceramic Brake Parts Lubricant on the caliper pins. Checking out the TDS, it's "non-silicone" and "pure...
Thanks Cap. I just ordered a set of the pads earlier today. My thinking was that the Tokiko 2-pots on my SV don't seem like they should be...
I have actually been fighting something similar where various electronics weren't working intermittently. I thought I was blowing tail lights, but...
I thought you might like that--pretty much the reason I bothered uploading the photos! :Smile:
Question to start--Braking. I've realized just how poor the braking is on my VF500F compared to the SV650 I've been also riding. I'm guessing a...
Gotcha. Thank you. I just need to know which words to look up. Big damn day today! I brought the bike back home to it's owner. There's still 100...
biketyresuk was the vendor. I'll get into contact with them and see what needs to happen either for an exchange or a return. It looks like it was...
