  1. Welcome to another Brit, no photos of your bike though …..yet
  2. How about this one, it was 11 separate roundabouts and this is the current version
  3. Have you looked at the parts diagram?
  4. OEM is no USB Theres a plug in power supply under the seat that I run my heated jacket through if you’re looking for an instant solution As you have a tour in mind I’d consider a new battery if it still has the original
  5. Rode through the bloody rain to an 8am MOT, it passed …. on reflection I should have worn my waterproof textile suit
  6. Just what I was thinking, judicious use of a hacksaw and dremel is worth trying Alternatively this might be useful https://www.rexs-speedshop.com/product-category/ignition-system/replacement-pick-ups/honda-pick-ups/
  7. This is a result of the traditional way of removing the bearing, knock it out and inevitably damage the seat More effect is using a Rawlbolt on the inner race and pull it out, also the cheap way of getting blind bearings out
  8. Now I’m going to have to go find it, this could take some time 641
  9. Loctite bearing fit will take up the slack Are using double lip sealed bearings?
  10. There’s usually some of them on eBay ….one of mine was cracked and did the same thing
  11. Careful with EBC clutch springs, I bought some and they were so heavy duty that I ended up taking them out
  12. The rectifier from the 1200 VFR is rated at 50A and there’s a few for sale on eBay etc
  13. At 11k it hasn’t had its first valve clearance check yet, not that it’ll make that much difference but one thing I noticed when I put a RapidBike fuelling unit on my 8th gen it made it run much smoother, evened out the VTEC transition and generally cleaned up the throttle response, which was pretty good before @16k you’re due the valve check, new plugs, air filter and the bike plugged into a Honda diagnostic unit, which should put the bike back in the condition it was originally sold in Using Esso Synergy 99 (which is 100% petrol) will also make a difference, it’s more expensive because there’s duty on 100% of it
  14. It sure is, I put a washer either side and a bolt through them and put the drill on it for a few seconds, part of my spring time routine now
  15. Brake judder - have you spun the buttons on the discs recently?
  16. As an owner of several Beta trials bikes, on which the clutch plates stick together if you don’t use it daily at least, the kindest way to free up the plates is pull in the clutch lever and use a screwdriver to separate them through the oil filler hole Once you’ve done it then try putting the bike in gear and seeing if it works, if it doesn’t then just repeat until it does
  17. Thanks for posting that, I enjoyed reading it, always interesting to see how it was received in a different country
  18. Took the rear wheel out and discovered there’s a screw in it so off to have a new tyre put on …..one day I’ll actually wear a rear tyre out on this bike
  19. Discovered the coolant pump is leaking on my ‘15 ….so much for a trip over the Easter weekend
  20. Hi Thumbs, Thank you for your donation of 25.00 USD. We look forward to improving the forums with your donation. Thanks VFRDiscussion
  21. The bearing in the pressure plate is not held in, it’s prone to tip and jam, so with actuating rod removed the clutch connects with the gearbox, hydraulics assembly will push the rod out and disconnect the gearbox I’ve fixed mine in place with Loctite bearing fit You can see if this is happening through the oil filler as the hydraulics are fitted Tourmax kit is quality
  22. If that’s Harris they told me the same as Kbear …. not in stock and 3-4 months
  23. So this is the one that you want?
