  1. kool deal there. please invite noraly over to see things, and try to get her drunk. 😍
  2. what led up to it ?? overheating, fan not working ? what ?
  3. check the headers for heat after its run 30 seconds to find non-firing cylinders.
  4. mice ?? they chew on wires and like to nest in airboxes
  5. clean and lube or risk this
  6. check that the brake mc isnt too full, should have air space above the fluid.
  7. not the cdi getting hot, its a pulse generator
  8. ^^^^^ yes, check charging volts at idle and at 5000, less than about 13.5v is bad and probably needs r/r replacement. a bike running fine then quitting 15 or so minutes into a ride is often a sign of a pulse generator that quits when it heats up. and when it cools down runs fine ?? another sign of pulse gen failure.
  9. guess i missed it, so what was the recall problem ?
  10. im a carb rebuilderwith 33 years of VF/VFR experience and offer prices lower than any other you can find. VF, VFR, HAWK, I-4s, anything. 716 836-0154 jerry if rings shrink when dry during storage, rust flakes may get in and prevent sealing
  11. i remember pulling a flywheel/rotor by putting pennies under the bolt and tightening. with more and more pennies, the rotor walks itself off.
  12. mice, squirrels or rats.
  13. so did the alarming clatter start after it overheated ? its no big deal to fit a new rad.
  14. i wouldnt trust cheap chinese products to safely stop my bike.
  15. well it looked to me like a runnin bike from that angle, im sorry. 🙄 too many loud-ass biker noises on my street has me po'd.
  16. i guess u dont care bout other ppl cuz that hawk exhaust has gotta be way excessively loud. shame on anybody runnun stupidly loud exhausts.
  17. in the 70's guys with sportscars here, mostly english and italian, could back up to the gates of the private pilot section of the airport, and the ground ops would fill our fuel tanks with potent avgas.
  18. hey, im in buffalo, have tons of vf/vfr experience and willing to help. jerry: 716 836-0154
  19. looks too much loike a refridgerata, lad.
  20. fuel pump has a relay that often fails and can be hot-wired to bypass it, better than running w/o pump.
  21. i dont use the choke lever to set my warmup idle speed; instead i adjust the idle setting screw to boost cold fast idle, then dial it back when warm. at 85 degrees, no choke should be necessary for starting, so its clear youre using it to boost cold idle speed.
