All 14- Tom's Vf1000F Revival For $1700, it seems like he could've at least put some fresh fuel in it and got it to start...or at least had some wiggle room. Good on you.
- 6Th Gen Modified Stock Exhaust End Caps Awesome idea! I gutted my previous 6th gen's exhaust and always hated the caps. Looks great, sounds even better! :cool:
- Question For The Chain Guru's The chain broke at the master link. It's completely gone, which leads me to believe the side plate came off and the link worked out. When the new link comes in I'm gonna re-install the chain with an extra set of eyes…
- Question For The Chain Guru's I meant pictures of the failed link. You do still have it? Or did it part company with the chain and bike? It's gone forever. I had plenty of time to look for it while waiting on the pick up, but the tall grass must…
- Question For The Chain Guru's Pictures of the masterlink? (moved to maintenance section) Of course I didn't take any pictures. DOH! That would be far too logical. It did look exactly like RK's FAQ picture. I spent a good while measuring and…
- Question For The Chain Guru's Hello all, I recently did my first chain with a rivet-style masterlink and after a few hundred miles, POW! I no longer have a chain on my bike and I'm left sitting. I used Sun Star sprockets front and rear with an RK…
- Cleaning Techniques? Scrubbing? man that sounds like alot of work, are you running chain wax or something Im convinced after trying everything known to man, there's no better longevity lube and ease of use on the market for the street, than…
- Cleaning Techniques? Yup. I was scrubbing with the kerosene/gunk duo to no avail but carb cleaner literally blew the gunk away, albeit the thick stuff took some persuading.
- Cleaning Techniques? The bike is still pretty dirty but obviously much better than it was; at least I can park it without being embarrassed now. The weather was too nice today to be scrubbing a swingarm so I put it all together and hit the…
- Cleaning Techniques? I had read that they are prone to breaking, but impatience got the best of me. It really seemed like it'd be hard to bend the pin with the guide snugged up against the chain. IDK? Dodged the bullet I suppose.
- Cleaning Techniques? Whelp, I gave it a go today. Pulled the chain and sprockets and began cleaning 26,000 miles worth of caked on chain lube. [image: tumblr_mkt9mlmOL91s3k0p4o1_500.jpg] The picture really doesn't do it justice; this stuff…
- Cleaning Techniques? In addition to the kero, pick up some Gunk concentrate at the auto parts store. Mix it in the Kero according to the directions and it will basically act as a soap allowing you to wash away the crud with water. I'm…
- Cleaning Techniques? Looks like kerosene is the way to go. That's what my old man uses in his parts cleaning bin; I just wanted to make sure it wasn't too harsh for the swingarm. I'm gonna put some in a spray bottle and give it a go. I'll…
- Cleaning Techniques? Hello All, I recently purchased my second sixth-gen and this thing is a filthy mess, literally. It has definitely been neglected in the cleaning department; the previous owner was "a rider not a shiner." In other words,…
