Tuned into WSM 650 AM last night and heard "The Time Jumpers," playing from the Nashville Opry stage, a tribute to the Hank and Bob era with a...
Alot depends upon the weather, as adverse conditions will drain your energy quickly.
Set at 10mm you'd be leaner throughout the rev range, and it doesn't make alot of sense to compromise higher rpms to adjust the idle circuit....
There is a test for reverse current leakage in the manual. Battery draining (lots of reverse flow) almost always means a bad diode in the r/r.
when you hit a bump and your butt feels a whack, you've lost compression damping and need a better shock.
I torque that vitally critical nut up to up tight then just a littie scoochie mo.
They are stronger, last longer but actually make the bike a bit harder to steer cuz of increased bearing contact area and they dull some feedback...
Everything checks out fine although it seems like you're trying to find something to worry about. No matter how great every component in your...
I'd try nozzle's superglue (+baking soda) fix or at least try JBWeld*. I fixed a leaky bike radiator with JB*, and it's held up OK for the last 8...
The bike was new enough to still have the valve checks done under warranty, wasn't it ??
Probably has something to do with valve float at upper rpms due to weak valve springs or a frequency-driven harmonics problem between cams,...
I bought a cheap '87 700F2 years ago that had the same damage, and the chain ripped out some of the cover mounting bolt holes, so how about yours...
Interested ?? I'm looking for a carb project to keep me busy, and i'd be able to reassemble yours, run some tests to be sure they work and return...
Always helps to know the mileage.......?? What have you checked so far ?? In proppa nick, your bike should have no problem touching the...
Let's assume this is your first bike. Learn where the torque curve for your bike reaches maximum, and don't try to accelerate at a lower number...
For sure you need to flush/clean the fuel tank, but nothing says the carbs need attention until it won't start, won't idle without choke, or won't...
I've seen heavy stock wheels damaged by pothole impact, and i don't believe CF wheels would hold up long on on normal, average US roads unless all...
Knobby tires on a VFR is wholesale nonsense.
It's normal for all bikes to idle faster after the engine and oil warm up, so nothing unusual there. Like Tinki suggested, a carb synch might...
