  1. VIN Number is stamped on the R/H side of the steering head. Here's what you should be looking for - a dot stamped just above the J. (Thanks for the pic Skids!)
  2. Looking good Lorne. The experience I've had with CCT's is that the clatter noise has always been evident high up at the cam covers on the R/H side, and its not difficult to identify if its the front or rear playing up by the noise location. Clutch basket noise obviously should come from down low around the clutch cover region. So it should be easy to determine whether its clutch or cct noise. Clutch noise might also change (unlike cct noise) if you pull the clutch in. Cheers
  3. If you have either bad injectors or a ruptured FPV you should certainly notice poor running and terrible fuel economy. The FPV is an easy thing to check, so might be worth checking this before moving to the injectors.
  4. Might be worth doing a "critter nest" inspection check in the airfilter box! Seeing she's been outside for so long without a run.
  5. And to add to the good advice above...... Check for a ruptured diaphragm in the Fuel Pressure Regulator. If ruptured it will dump fuel into cylinders 3 and 4. via the vacuum hoses.
  6. Justin...All I can say is c'est magnifique! Great job. I guess your son has a grin from ear to ear. Magic photos, beautiful scenery. Enjoy.
  7. Whatever coating they have it appears to be pretty thin, the coating seems to suffer as the tools bounce around against each other while in the kit when riding. Some rubbing with steel wool and a little metal polish will help. BUT is it really worth worrying too much over some surface corrosion on a set of spanners you most likely may never use? As long as they are usable and there as a backup is probably all that really matters. As always YMMV.
  8. Sorry Justin, can't honestly say and have never removed a cat from any of my VFR's, but seeing the O2 sensors are ahead of the cat and the cat has no active influence on the EFI system, and that its role is to reduce the toxicity of exhaust gasses, then I can't see how running without it would be a problem, other than to the enviromentally friendly people! Other owners who have removed their cat will offer better advice I'm sure.
  9. I've used this stuff on the lower exhaust on my 8gen. Keeps it nice and shiny. Picture - Lower exhaust after 90,000k's.
  10. Nothing annoys you more when something like this happens, I feel your pain. Hopefully this helps. Check out Partzilla or Revzilla for parts. R/H Mirror Part No. 88210-MJM-305ZA ($122.82) OR Part No. 88210-MJM-D10ZA supersedes the original, see Revzilla site ($121.50).
  11. Things to check...... 1. Check for continuity of the Sensor Body (Ground) back to the Battery Negative Terminal. 2. Make sure the connector to the Sensor is clean and making good contact. 3. Measure 12v between the Sensor wire and Ground, ignition to On. Refer Service Manual. 4. Check continuity of the Sensor wire, from the Sensor up to the Instrument. 5. Check 12v at the Instrument Black/Brown 12v, Green/Black Ground. 6. Check the three connections at the instrument are good and clean. 7. Do the resistance checks for the Sensor. Refer Service Manual. The Service Manual is downloadable from this forum if you don't already have it.
  12. Hey Skids. Am I seeing something strange?? Does that look like a broken Wax Unit shaft circled in Red?.
  13. When in gear, if you lower the Sidestand the engine will shutdown, this is normal and not dependent on the clutch switch. As Terry mentioned. Without the clutch switch you will not be able to do an in gear start with the Sidestand Up and clutch pulled in. It will not crank over.
  14. Looking at the 1993 onwards 3rd gen wiring diagram, the Hi and Lo Beam relays are supplying BOTH bulbs at a time Not just one! Are you sure you don't have a blown globe?
