I think you proved the EK chain isn't among the best. :frown:
It doesn't make sense to drop in another battery unless you test the charging system output at the same time.
As Grey states, noisy running at idle due to poor carb synch or uneven cylinder compressions causes the tabs on friction plates to brattle within...
No ^^, i agree that it's worth discussion. Poor education in primary schools, hanging out with the barely-literate, miserably low standards, cell...
Can't you control it using the idle speed adjustment knob ??
There are two types of that stay Honda offered, one rigid and straight and the other bent at a 90 degree angle at both ends. Somebody here MUST...
Carb throats would not align with intake runners, different spacing, different diameters. Do you have the 1000 carbs ?
Bent maybe, but ye caint break them thangs.
Clicking you hear in neutral is fairly normal and does not represent any problem. Without any load, friction plate tabs can move back and forth...
Items that fail randomly due to heat are almost always electrical. I had a problem with an '86 700 that would suddenly run rough every time i'd...
Junk food cuz your assumptions are incorrect. Relay stays on until coil pulses cease but does not cycle on-and-off. The above makes no actual...
Don't flog it, mate. 500s don't like too many of revs up top.
You have a minimal amount of oil in the spark plug well ( not uncommon), no doubt from a very slight leak from the valve cover gasket. Nothing to...
Sorry but i can't agree with this fillosafee.
Good advice !! Tank bags tend to get in the way, pia when you need to re-fuel; that's why i wear a backpack.:lemo:
Search and keep searching. Honda corrected the various faults inherent in VF designs with the VFR. Fine-quality examples are usually around...
Seems like cam timing vs. crank position is incorrect. Or maybe an exhaust cam was put in intake position ? Use NO FORCE turning crank or you WILL...
Are you using a proppa charger with a 1-2 amp output ?? Probably need a new battery, doncha think ? As soon as you get a fully-charged (12.6...
You can get a better, newer, more reliable '86/'87 VFR for alot less. Cam wear could be a problem on that one as well as a useless rear shock....
If the bike runs fine when you first start, then craps out after about 15 minutes when it is fully warmed up........you could have an ignition...
Separate names with a comma.
