And yet...on my ST1300, 6th gen and second 5th gen, I have kept the brakes 100% stock. I actually like the engineering behind the CBS system, and...
It all depends what you want to do. If you just want gold callipers, paint the ones you have! If the linked brakes are the problem, there are...
Ah, the famous delink! Many here have done it. All you really need is some fork leg lowers off a VTR1000F, and swap these for the VFR800 bits....
All that holds the clutch cover on the crankcase is the bolts and two dowels, then the gasket. I have always had success by tapping on the case...
Clearances will decrease as the valve recedes into the head and make less of a tick; not like say a pushrod engine where clearances increase and...
Its really hard to diagnose odd noises but that does not sound like a camchain tensioner, more like an exhaust leak or similar. Check the exhaust...
Get yourself a cheap vacuum bleeder, and add some thread tape to the nipple threads, and you should be able to rebleed the clutch easily enough....
This should work for you; there were some detail differences between the 86 and 87 around suspension, and your 700 has a shorter stroke...
(I don't really miss carbs).
That is still my favourite generation of VFR; it must have been released when I was at an impressionable age! They hardly ever come up for sale...
The runout seems a bit high, the service manual limit is 0.3mm. Can you check the runout of the disc mounting surfaces? A slightly random...
It was for me.
Not according to the instructions that I downloaded. I bought these bars, so I will be able to say for certain in the next week or so when I fit them.
I have done the PAIR but not the flapper or snorkel. P AIR involves blanking the ports that inject air into the exhaust to help burn off residual...
Or tucked under the tail in the rear wheel well (both my VFR1200, MT-10 have this).
I bought a Hotcams shim kit many years ago, and have topped this up as needed. I bought some spares from Aliexpress recently and these checked...
As long as maintenance has been kept up, there is little reason to be concerned about 59k miles. Obviously it won't be new and items like the...
Patience, and lots of it! You can check the standard valve clearance without disturbing the cams or tensioner, but to check the VTEC calves...
I don't know why, but the clutch line seems to be the worst for trapping air; you almost certainly still have air in the system, unless you put...
Behold - my redneck bead breaker! I have had a decent run just using a garden spade (place spade on tyre near rim, and jump on) but the T32s from...
Separate names with a comma.
