Another useful sticky for you folks to help me populate. I'm looking for a one stop list of services and supplies that are helpful to our biking efforts. The usual non regular shop outlets like racing suppliers, wreckers, accessory places other than the regular bike shops (I'll fill in the...

Anyone who owns a Honda VFR 800 VTEC really should read the following. I have been dealing with this saga for a year and it finally appears the answer is at hand. The starter valves are not synced properly at either the factory or the dealer, plus the service manual is very misleading! The...

Found this somewhere else and thought it was a great read. Enjoy. :thumbup _________________________________________________________________ Suspension 101. Introduction Unfortunately there is no literature that can give you the perfect machine setup. Also suspension setup is...
Kinda like the tire review with the sticky, but this thread is strictly for race / track-day only tires. I'm going to jack Bruce's format, hope he doesn't mind, cause it worked purdy good... Here's the format... -------------------------------------- Maker- Model- Size- Front- Rear- (if you...
OK kiddies. Time to help me write another Article Forum item. I'm looking for definitive procedures for the simple regular or annual servicing for the backyard mechanics or wannabe's among us. I got the idea for this while writing up the procedure I use for cleaning throttle cable and...
Anyone in the LMD that has experience in rebuilding mid-eighties 2 strokes? Multi-cylinder stuff, not singles. I have located a few in the UK, but I would prefer to ship an engine overseas as a last resort.

I'm going to be going through my new to me f4i this winter and one of the things I'm really wanting to dial in for maintenance and tuning is the suspension. Anyone have any good resources/tips?
So I'm puttering away on that 2002 R1 I snagged. Forks pulled and seal replacement time. One leg came apart as easy as pie, no problems at all. Second leg, not so much. That 10 mm internal hex bolt at the bottom of the leg just refuses to let go. It will turn, and turn the entire guts of the...
Hi all, I'm trying to replace the exhaust on my '05 Z750 and am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to remove the old pipe that is sealed and clamped to the catalytic converter outlet side. It is sealed up pretty tight. I can remove the clamp without issue but the pipe doesn't budge....
I have a set of Ohlins NIX 30 cartridges coming and I'm going to pair them with a set of Ohlins springs. How did you go about selecting your spring rate and what kind of difference did you feel compared to your stock suspension? I have Showa BPF forks and they're already pretty good in stock...
anyone do or have a hook up? wanting to make a new dash thinking printing it would be easiest.
I have to move 3 bikes between 6 and 8 hrs east of the LMD in the next couple months. The wee CB350/4, the beefy VFR1200 and the new-to-me and non-running NS400R. In addition I have 2 cars and a truck to move ........ I know, I know, first world problems. The biggest concern is the bikes. My...
I had asked around about car issues and shops that could help out a while back. I ended up taking my CB350/4 to Jim Coma and his lad at Bent Bike in Langley. I picked it up a couple weeks ago and couldn't be happier. They balanced and synced the carbs, adjusted float levels and jetting,...
Looking at a couple of older, small displacement Hondas that both need work, one item of which is bodywork. Airtech is the old tried and true stuff. Then there is the pre-painted Ebay stuff. Planning for the finished product is to be not show quality but top notch. Anyone have experience...
