The final goal is to put this headlight on the bike to go with the clip ons. [img]
I put f4i forks on the bike so I was looking for some 296mm rotors. Those don't exist so I put the stock rotors back on but they were so warped I...
My project continues but I got new rotors finally. I wanted 296mm to match my f4i front end but couldn't find any for the F2 wheel. Got some...
A VF700 ignition assembly bolts to a 2001-2006 F4i top clamp. My point is, Honda did not make many changes to the ignition switch mounting...
Perfect place to use anaerobic gasket maker like Loctite 515
The V4 is a tricky bike to learn to wrench on but if you can get the carbs off the bike it's really not that bad. Your biggest problem is going to...
The fuel pump is really a solenoid. There is a spring that does the pumping. Once the spring bottoms out a contact on top of the pump closes and...
You're totally fine even to 230 degrees. Cars are safe up to 260 but bikes usually run less glycol 70/30 instead of 50/50 and they also have lower...
Swarf is not the same as wear particles. Oil analysis filters out particles over 10 micron prior to testing. You could have ball bearings in the...
Most newer engines run consistently at 210 degrees., like they have a 210 degree thermostat. It's pretty well understood that higher coolant temps...
I used to run Motul 300V in my 2005 R1. Coincidently, I also use International 300V primer on my Tugboats... also good shit. Strangely the price...
Change those rubber parts. All hoses and o-rings on the Japanese bike's fuel system are usually buna-n rubber or polyurethane and have a finite...
Used some 1 1/4 pipe wrapped with 0.005" shim to simulate a 43mm fork. Everything fit pretty well, the ignition even bolts in and the steering...
Aluminum lowers have a flange at the base, these were straight.
It's hard coming onto a new forum because there is always a guy who speaks wisely but knows little. How exactly would you bevel the bottom of a...
My 2001 YZ 250 decided to lose its clutch one day, anything above 1/4 throttle in any gear just wouldn't hold. there was no visual indication...
Well I finished it, here it is with the steering stop. The brazing isn't as pretty because this alloy more fluid and harder to shape. I used it...
Aftermarket seals almost always don't seal. I haven't ridden my 84 yet but it surges at idle because the fuel pump is only working intermittently...
Thought about it, at least getting the 43mm tree gives me a lot more options for forks. The offset differences are huge so wheel to radiator...
Well, I did it. There is no way that braze is going to fail before something else does but I'm a little unhappy with the amount of heat soak into...
