  1. Fork oil level/air gap 20 Nov 2023 18:48 Thanks, I’ll add oil to YSS’s recommended level.
  2. Fork oil level/air gap 19 Nov 2023 17:42 Going to replace the original fork springs on my ‘92 3rd gen with .9 n/mm YSS ones as recommended by various calculators on the web. I refurbished the forks last year with all new seals and oil etc so looking to simply…
  3. Carb balance adjusting screws 26 Nov 2021 18:15 JZH, 11/25/2021 at 9:09 AM I don't use a 90-degree screwdriver, but a 9-degree nut driver (hex socket on the end), so once on it doesn't tend to fall off. I probably got it at M&P or someplace like that. Ciao, JZH…

  5. Is this fork leg bent? 25 Oct 2021 16:26 Sorry for not following up this thread earlier. Other side fork leg moved the same at the same time, not able to get a video as the owner took the bike back the evening before I was available to video it.

  7. Is this fork leg bent? 15 Oct 2021 16:40 Hmm. That’s weird, the video is showing and playing in my post. I used “choose files” “photo library” and selected it, took a little while to appear but it’s definitely there. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ll attempt to describe what’s…
  8. Is this fork leg bent? 13 Oct 2021 16:56 This is a friend of mine’s 3rd gen VFR. He was riding near his home yesterday travelling at 30mph when a fox ran across the road in front of him, he braked and swerved missing the fox but managed to run into the kerb…
  9. 3rd Gen fork bottom Allen bolt 16 Jun 2021 06:32 Thanks so much for all your replies. I made a wooden tool to jam the cartridge, which it did, but the bolt kept spinning even when pulling the damper rod & stanchion. So I gave up and went to a mechanic, he seemed very…
  10. 3rd Gen fork bottom Allen bolt 14 Jun 2021 21:02 Not the usual problem of not being able to undo it, had no trouble with that. It’s getting it done back up that I’ve messed up. First leg went back together perfectly. The second one, I was doing the bolt up with an…
