I'm sure there's also "partial" failures which are annoying but don't represent a complete fault. I'm thinking about air leaks in the vacuum hoses...
If your mini-Mancave starts to smell like catsh1t, I know who to blame... [ATTACH]
If any of the sensors are giving dodgy inputs that will normally trigger a FI fault and illuminate the light. The MAP sensor certainly know...
Have you tried the simplest fix of finding the connectors involved and pulling them apart and cleaning any corrosion out?
I just went and re-started and warmed up the bike, the idle was low again (1000rpm) but had been 1200rpm when I tweaked it at the end of...
Thanks Graham; I was coming to a similar conclusion. The idle speed seems to have varied a bit, I had to back the adjuster out initially as it was...
So I changed out the stuck thermostat in my 5th gen and that part of the surgery appears to have been fine. When I fired the bike up on the fast...
The VFR got the afternoon off. The forecasted rain held off so the Sad Robot Bike got taken out for 200km cobweb blow-out. Criminy, I had...
Or none of the subfuses has been replaced with a suitable chunk of conducting metal...
That muffler hanger looks like a genuine HRC piece...
Thanks for sharing this Mike. I'll add that to my mental list of things to avoid doing.
I'll second the straightening suggestion; I bought some slightly bent CR6600F4 forks and had them professionally straightened, and you'd never...
All NZ bikes are fitted with Ventura packs, it is a legal requirement. I did have a rear seat bag but wanted to use the seat cover cowl (more...
Did a little bit of an experiment tonight, and dropped the triple clamps down the forks by 10mm. I had found the bike a little reluctant to turn,...
I owned the NC24 back in the day; great little runner, but not sure my older bones would enjoy it quite so much now. The 400 V4s are a great...
Bike Spirits? A few of these and then the old girl looks great from any angle including lying on the floor... [ATTACH]
Both of my 5th gens have needed a new thermostat. I'm yet to change the thermostat on my current bike (presumably it is on a slow boat from Japan)...

I believe if I leave the CF dash cover on, and add an HRC sticker, I can magically unleash 120 hp! And if I add the flapper "mod" and snorkel...
It is also a good idea to align the fork parts for least binding if you are searching for te best ride quality. Loosen the top steering nut, top...
