I also suffer from local rip-offs for parts, we have a dedicated Honda powersports importer but they almost never carry parts and want you to pay...
Hi Plezier, I own both a 5th gen and 6th gen, and have done the full valve service on both; I can confirm that the VTEC takes maybe 3x more time...
The only path for idle air is through the starter valves, the butterflies are basically sealed shut at that point. If you've synched the vacuum...
Have you had issues with the common earth block? This is where multiple earth wires join at an orange or blue plastic block, on the 6th gen that...
Even with damaged threads, surely the bolt will bind up and stop turning and the torque wrench will click. That won't break a bolt. Maybe if...
Hi Chetan Are you saying that the FI light just glows steadily when riding? The bulb is obviously OK in that case. The service manual says for a...
Honda shot themselves in the foot by hyping up the 1200 far too much. I think their original plan was to maximise the platform and create a...
My lovely yellow VFR800 already has a lovely Nitron R3 shock (courtesy of the PO) and my former ST1300 had a similar shock to the one I've just...
I'd have to say the 1200 was one of the easier shock swap jobs that I have done, the only downside being that to get the rear of the fuel tank...
Penetrating oil and a little "percussive maintenance" got them free. I assumed they got stuck on old dry fuel residue or something. When your...
That makes no sense. I have had the front end apart on all my VFRs multiple times and never an issue with bolts snapping. Are you using genuine bolts?
I was surprised to find the diode on my ST1300 hiding in plain sight in one of the fuse boxes. It looked just like a fuse but with three spades...
Where's Grum when we need him? This is the starter circuit for my 800 but they're all basically the same. Apologies if you already know all this....
The best I've seen on my stock 09 is 17.9km/L or 42 mpUSg, open road riding having a little fun but not going silly.
That will work for me. The weather looks good this weekend, let me know when you have paid for it and I will go and collect...
Welcome Mark, 2000 miles since April is good going. The 1200 is pretty different to the ST, did you know that Honda had planned to replace the ST...
Who doesn't love a shiny new shock? I ordered this at the end of March and it has arrived from the UK today. Looking forward to skinning my...
I agree with Mike's suggested straight-rate spring weights. Emulators are great devices and (in my view) a must-have on any damper rod fork;...
If you buy that NS I can look after it for "us". ;)
I used to buy parts from Partzilla pre-COVID, but now they've decided not to supply to NZ, so I switched over to Webike and couldn't be happier,...
