If a coil was bad, you would have a misfire. The chances of all 4 going bad are almost 0. I am thinking fuel. The issue is load dependant, more load = more fuel required. Check the fuel pressure, if low, it may be the fuel pump or pressure regulator. You can test the fuel pump my measuring...

I suspect the issue is not mechanical, but electronic. When the bike warms up some electronic module also gets warm and starts to apply the brakes, just a little. Find the fuse for the ABS/servo assist module, remove it, and see of the problem goes away. BMW could learn a lot about reliable...

Before you pull off and clean the carbs, try adding a little seafood to the gas tank. (http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/seafoam-motor-treatment-0387800p.html#.VYq0S2ATM70) For $12 you have nothing to loose. AND it makes a great fuel stabilizer for the winter.

Spade connector + water + time = bike problems. Make sure your connections are water proof, maybe use heat shrink tubing?

That is the screech of the starter over-run clutch. It simply needs to be re-greased. Background: "As soon as the engine starts, its rotational speed will eventually exceed the speed of the starter armature. At this instant the over-running clutch breaks the connection between the pinion and...

In Ontario you need to ride 1 hour to find 5 minutes of nice road. In Cali, you ride 5 min to find 1 hour of the best road you have ever been on. (Glendora comes to mind!)

I came across this link on the VRRA board: http://www.flickr.com/photos/100817729@N04/sets/72157635231180621/ 931 Pics of the event on Sunday, from 2-4PM Some samples: IMG_0726 by MotorSportPics, on Flickr IMG_0763 by MotorSportPics, on Flickr IMG_0777 by MotorSportPics, on Flickr...

I had the same problem on my 86 VFR. I used some 2 part putty for repairing gas tanks. That was 7 years ago and it still is holding. It looked something like this: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/PROSEAL-Putty-3HHH7

So it seized up? If so, sorry to hear that.

How long did it run without oil pressure? Does the engine still run? If it runs, what does it sound like?

Easy way: Flush system. Hard Way: Drain and spend the next few hours trying to get the air out of system.

Why would the the cam chain tensioner rattle or not rattle when the clutch is pulled in? As mentioned above, this is the normal clutch basket rattle. My bike has done this for the last 60,000 KM. Nothing to worry about and completely normal.

Before I did my front end swap (YZF600R on 86 VFR) I checked to make sure the bearings I needed existed. If they didn't I was prepared to use the VFR's steering stem in the new front end. If you can't find the bearings you need, pressing in and welding the original stem may be your only option...

I think that crack is on the main oil gallery comming from oil filter and feeding the engine. Check and see if it is cracked all the way through. It may be a surface crack. If it is cracked all the way, maybe try JB weld or have it welded.

I got mine at http://www.carbtune.com many years ago. It doesn't use mercury or any liquids. (kid and pet safe) Current price is about $95 shipped.

Re: Parker Bros. - done Sorry to see Parker Brothers go. I liked the shop, bought my first set of gear from them and Dave was my instructor at FAST. I think everyone is missing the bigger problem: <b>The motorcycle industry in Canada is crumbling. </b> We won't recognize it in 5 years. Many...

I am looking for a place to buy a 16" x 4" 48 spoke front rim, after my friend had a little accident. He has a buddy who can lace it up. Thanks, Frank

Looking to upgrade my F2 track bike front brakes. Wanted: CBR600 F3 front wheel, rotors, axle, lower forks. Let me know if you got'em..

What lens did you use?
