  1. How To: Gsxr Regulator Rectifier Mod 3 & 4 Gen 22 Jan 2010 00:18 I know this Thread is old as dust but thought I'd chime in and say thanks for posting it! I will be installing a GSXR reg tomorrow, I plan on directly soldering it though, to eliminate contact corrosion/resistance build…
  2. Stainless Exhaust System 9 Dec 2009 20:03 They're good quality, I brought a standard exit set of headers for my 94 RC36 and they fit well, no leaks, and improved engine running (but that was mostly due to the pin holes in my last exhaust. 24,000 miles later and…
  3. '95 Vfr750 Conversion 2 Mar 2009 20:16 This is an awesome build! I'm looking to junk the rear plastics from my VFR too ('94, same shape as yours) and I will be interested in seeing how your subframe mod goes. Good luck with it all, keep up the good work!…
  4. Thermostat Replacement On A Rc36 7 Feb 2009 13:40 Wow thank you so much! Turns out it isn't that bad then, it was running quite hotter than the images before but now it's normal. That was a huge help, now I can stop worrying about the bike and just get on with riding…
  5. Thermostat Replacement On A Rc36 7 Feb 2009 11:56 Hey all it's me again. The bike's started to run hot again, now I've replace the thermostat, burped the radiator, topped off the coolant and all seems ok. There's no visible leaks anywhere and the expansion chamber…

  7. Thermostat Replacement On A Rc36 29 Jan 2009 17:28 'Tis Fixed :lurk: It turned out to be really simple, the thermostat was installed the wrong way by the previous owner! It's surprising just how much difference turning it around has made to the cooling system, now heats…

  11. Thermostat Replacement On A Rc36 9 Jan 2009 20:15 Thanks for the reply guys! The bike suddenly started to run cool again (i was stuck in traffic and it was just over half way, then when I check a few minutes later it was just in the warm zone! something must have…
  12. Thermostat Replacement On A Rc36 8 Jan 2009 21:57 ..can this be done without removing the carbs? I've heard that you can access it from the right side of the bike by removing the upper right hand fairing. Is this true? My bike has started over-heating and I believe…
