All 14- Overheating Issue Glad to help - sorry you're experiencing that.
- Overheating Issue Yeah, that Shadow would blow bubbles through the coolant and get worse as it warmed up. I could drive it maybe 10km before it would push coolant out of the overflow resivoir. Hopefully your's is a head gasket. Have a…
- Overheating Issue I'd guess a blown head gasket or cracked head. Has the bike been overheated? I fixed up an old Shadow a couple of years ago that acted a lot like what you're describing. There were small cracks around the exhaust valves…
- Flutteringrattling noise from engine while under load at half throttle Could the engine be pinging under heavy load with WOT and slow engine speed? I'd try a higher octane gas for a tank or two and see if it changes.
- Brake caliper mounting bolt "Replace with new ones or not" Motormike, the bolts you're looking for are (I believe) items 29 and 31. The drawing's a bit confusing for sure. I've never had to replace the right hand side bolts, but did replace the left hand caliper holder to fork…
- Indy Epic Adventure Thanks for posting your trip. Looks amazing - and to do an adventure like that with your son. School's going to feel a bit mundane for him I'd imagine. Well done!
- Low Cost '93 Restoration Amazing to look at the before and after pictures - the bike looks great and for $1500 all in. You and that VFR will have many happy miles.
- Light leak- Radiator? I've found that a lot of mechanical things do not "like" sitting unused. I'd top up the coolant at the beginning of the riding season and see if the leak disappears. Good suggestions from Veefer though, tighten all the…
- Brake caliper mounting bolt "Replace with new ones or not" I've been replacing them because they are inexpensive from Honda. I've never seen the old ones stretched or deformed in any way - I don't think I'd hesitate to use them again if the new ones were more expensive. I…
- Anybody else like the linked brakes? Poll added. I like the linked brakes too. My bike will never see the track and for street use, they're great. The one thing I don't like is the complexity of the system. Bleeding brakes on the Viffer is a real nightmare - and…
- What's your day job? Keep èm coming...
- 9188 miles and 2nd trip to dealer for repairs under warranty It's tough to let others work on your bike - especially when they don't show much confidence in what they are doing. Hope this gets resolved for you soon.
- What's your day job? I haven't seen a thread like this lately and there are a lot of new names in the forums. I always find these threads interesting for the diversity of jobs and careers that we all have. I'm an aircraft maintenance…
- Best distance/commuting tire I've got about 4000 miles on a set of BT021's - maybe another 5 or 6 hundred miles in the back tire if I take it easy. It's all slab riding here, so the center tread is nearly to the wear bars. The front tire looks like…
