    Water pump would be the only other place other than a head gasket.

    The level in the expansion tank will rise as the coolant heats up. If it rises shortly after starting the engine then that does sound like a head gasket. They make kits to test your coolant for exhaust gases. Do you see any bubbles coming into the expansion tank?

    Not sure of the design, but it could be getting past a seal on the water pump.

    The only other thing that comes to mind would be the vents on the carbs. Those can do funny things.

    Might be a vent problem on the gas cap. Next time it happens open the gas cap and see if you hear some suction. If it fires up right after that you have your culprit.

    Another thing that can go wrong is the old rubber brake line has deteriorated on the inside and allows fluid to flow one way and not the other. Seen it on cars before and I highly doubt that motorcycles are immune.

    I would be pretty wary as amazon is rife with knock off stuff that is very poor quality. I don't think it's worth the risk to save a little money and then come back to bite you. Just my opinion.

    You will need a rear wheel stand also. It will keep the bike steady when you lift the front.

    The only thing under the pan are the header pipes. The collector chamber is at the rear behind the pan.

    I like the theory and the looks, but it will put alot more heat into your oil as it will be sitting directly below the pan.

    Welcome to the forum. 93 VFR here along with 2 Subarus, a 91 Legacy Sport Sedan turbo 5 spd and an 07 tribeca. A flat six Suby is pretty cool too.

    More than likely resistance from corrosion in that very old harness. You could run the coils off a relay which would bring the voltage up to what the battery is showing.

    Those master links are the cats meow. No special tools needed and very easy to do. Can't get things too tight or out of whack.

    The sound level on Supertrapps was adjustable by removing or adding discs. If it's too loud take some discs out.

    I'm not much of a believer in what kind of tripe the government spews.
