Here's the latest, and final solution to my issues. Ultimately, it came down to two issues, hopefully these finds will help someone else. First...
Thanks for that. Another thing I noticed is the clutch safety switch is not working. By that, I mean the bike will crank and start without the...
I have posted a thread here about my bike intermittently not running. I have found the cause and think it is worth starting a new thread to...
It seems like I may have the exact same problem with my 87. Any update on how this repair worked for you?
Quick follow-up. I got it working last night. I think the previous owner swapped in some incorrectly sized fuel line. I changed it for some 8mm...
My fuel pump went out again. I sprung $$$ for the OEM last time and it has lasted about two years. I tried one of the cheapies from ebay and...
So, I'm cautiously optimistic that I have solved the problem. My bearing and seal kit from All Balls Racing arrived on Friday and I got...
Tanks for the heads up on the vac lines. Yeah, I've got a DRZ400 and removing the smog can was a 15 minute process and well-detailed online. I'll...
Thanks for that Captain. In fact, I do NOT know that this is the issue. It's just something that was brought up by you and a buddy at work who...
So do I have to order a new split cam gear (set)? Or is there a DIY fix that someone has come up with?
OK, I went through the entire VFR shop manual and I cannot find anything related to a split cam gear spring. The part is not listed on any parts...
So, finally getting back to this. My house got flooded recently and that has been a priority. I have replaced my chain and counter-shaft...
All right. I think I'll take some time in the next week or so to pull the plugs and check them and make sure all my coil connections are tight....
I have a 87 700. When I picked it up a couple of years ago it had ~18k on the odo. I now have ~45k. The bike runs fine, I do all the oil...
Wow, this is an old thread, but I need some help. I want to replace my rear wheel dampeners but cannot find them anywhere. Does anyone have a...
Yep. The sound dampeners were shot. Not sure what they were originally like, but they are like metal now. Chain rub was causing the grinding...
Sounds like you are right. Now I just need to get rid of it.
sooo, chain slide is fine. I see some strange plastic/hard rubber ring that seems to have popped loose from the front sprocket. I'm assuming what...
Thanks guys. The chain is new so I'm fairly confident that is not the issue (but I will definitely verify that this weekend). mofo, what I'm...
I'm getting a grinding noise when starting off in first. Sounds like it's coming from either the front sprocket or front of the swingarm. I'm...
