Careful !! I'd suggest you check that the bottom bolt isn't loose before doing more riding.
Clean and re-grease the slider pins when you have the caliper off.
just me of course, but rather than spending $$$ for an oil mod for an old '84 VF with over 40k, i'd just start saving up for a newer bike.
Fork tubes usually have one reference ring cut in, only one, so yours seems weird ? (Preload adjusters have multiple rings.) The ring goes...
Yes, you are permitted to remove the bolt, slide the fitting off, and change spline positions.
Noobs need to know that tightening the locknut usually changes the clearance setting just a tiny bit, so recheck again after tightening it.
Man, that's scarey...........and amazing it didn't make more noise ! Somehow, to my eyes, the sprocket bolts look way too close to the arm, so...
I'll venture just one guess since you have covered almost everything. I'm no FI expert, but if something were holding open the throttle so it...
Glad u fixed it soon b4 it snows up there......eh ?
Sitting in traffic on a hot day, yes, 3/4 scale is normal. Fan should switch on at anything over that.

Correct....!
A new headlight bulb, some wire and electrical or duct tape, fuses, along with the toolkit. Spare R/R too if you have one.
Look at the screw bottoms, and if they're seriously mashed and distorted, it's hard to adjust clearances; so see if you can replace them or only...
You sure it's not from leaky fork seals?? Anti-dive leakage is seriously unusual, and probably a result of its being taken apart and assembled...
That's unusually, impossibly low miles to need clutch replacement :crazy:, so expect other signs of PO abuse or incompetence.:frown: It's not a...
Best not to assume the cooling system is full, so another check under the rad cap after your first ride and a top up when the engine is cool is...
Rock the RUN/OFF switch back and forth a few times. How's battery voltage ? It's not hard to get access to rear cylinder plug wires, so do your...
It's essential to clean/probe/poke wire through the side holes on the main jet holder tube when doing a carb clean.
Setting clearances (not tolerances) can be done as long as the cam lobes are pointing AWAY from the valves and on the back of the cam, whether the...
