Yay, another Finnish 5th gen owner. We can start a club soon. Any plans on going to the track with whichever 5th gen individual you might end up with?
Thanks! Don't worry too much about doing the valve clearances. All the needed info is in the service manual, which I do recommend reading well....
Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I'm not getting notifications although I thought I'd enabled them... I used a pine-oil based alkaline...
Just my 2 cents. I also have a '99 5th gen and I installed ASV short levers with the supplied parts and instructions. No need to modify anything...
Nice to see a fellow Finnish VFR rider here, welcome to the forum. I've had my '99 for a couple of years now (originally imported from Belgium so...
I'm quite late to this but about the picture in post #13, it looks like you have replaced the original 5th gen rear brake disc which has the disc...
Here's what mine looked like before cleaning. I went with citrus-based degreaser as GreginDenver already suggested and used a toothbrush and some...
Here you go, though I only got 2 from this track. I guess the photographers were too busy shooting all the Ducatis :) No knee down here since I'm...
A short after-project update since I feel this still belongs here. Since completing the project I have done a starter valve sync (as accurately as...
There is a brand new racetrack relatively close to where I live which has FIA Grade 1 rating and also FIM Grade A, Kymiring (in Finland). The...
Verified this today. I disconnected the speed input from PCV and odometer works at all speeds again. Anyone here with a '98-'99 5th gen and PCV...
So, I installed a Power Commander V into my '99 5th gen with optional speed and temp inputs. Speed from pink wire from speed sensor. Everything ok...
For the speed sensor part, could be that the speed sensor plastic nut that goes over the sprocket bolt is not in place correctly or is worn out. I...
Thanks and good luck with your project! I've seen so many question and problem threads where the actual answer/solution never gets updated that I...
Got a couple more. This is starting to go out of the scope of this thread but as it's about the end result I'll post them here. This 20 year old...
Yes, someone wrote somewhere :) that the kevlar ones are less grabby. I can't compare since I've only had the kevlars but they are great so far....
Thanks guys! It feels more than great, I ended up going deeper than originally planned but I really feel it was worth it. So, 662km later (~170...
Maybe the 2 bottom ones, connecting the side fairings together at the very bottom of the bike? I just finished putting mine together. There are 8...
The bike is now fully assembled. Here are a couple of quick pics. Got the voltmeter hooked up too and now the voltage is very stable at a little...
I got the new radiator cap and having it installed the system held pressure nicely so ahead I went and installed the throttle body along with the...
