I would expect this chart would be a bit more accurate between the 6th and 8th. [ATTACH]
I bought an 09 last year and IMHO the VTEC transition is smooth enough, you know when it is happening but it is not upsetting in any way, and just...
Can you use a piece of rubber tubing over the bolt head as a flexible driver to get started?
I feel your pain mate. BTDT on a few bikes, sounds like refitting the exhaust stud nuts on a Vespa 300 which requires you to work upside down and...
Wow that is some thirst. If you can smell it, then I assume it is leaking on/around the engine and evaporating away so there is no liquid trace...
True...with the right tools. And if the previous "mechanic" was kind enough to put some grease on the o-ring. I have an impact driver and 6-point...
You can put 12v directly onto the starter solenoid outlet terminal and the chassis ground, which would power the starter motor and test that but...
I think you've gone above and beyond here. IIRC those cylinder head drains only let out the last few dregs that can't drain out though the drain...
Could be many things. If a carbs overflowed and drain into a cylinder while parked you could have a hydrolock situation. I don't think that is...
I'd be terrified that my wife will find the receipts and add up all the money I have blown...
Yikes; that's more like what happens to the linked brakes on the ST1300. Glad you and your bike are OK. On the 1200 I think the likeliest failure...
Just trying to narrow down the options but it does sound like something wheel or chain-related. You can easily check disc runout without tools,...
Have you checked the disks for run-out? You've changed everything else! Were the disks rusted during storage?
Most of the recent bikes I've bought have had a similar goal; take something quite unloved, and restore it to former glory with some sensible...
My Mancave is around the back of my house, under an extension that we built to create a family room (ha! we're empty nesters now!). I have to take...
Sure, why stop at 5 or 7? As long as you plan on remaining single. I'm not sure I could get that over the line with the High Commander of our...
Yes gearing changes will affect the relationship between how many turns of the countershaft (where the speed sensor is) vs wheel rotations....
Too easy. https://www.vfrdiscussion.com/index.php?/files/file/150-service-manual-6th-gen-2002-vtec-with-bookmarks-new-cover-ocr/&do=download
Fair enough lads; I was parroting some bloke called Kevin Cameron, he probably knows nothing.
My advice is a bit like that from the Hitchhiker's Guide, Don't Panic! As long as you had the main gears set so their marking aligned with the...
Separate names with a comma.
