Re: leaking petrol under tank

Another possibility, though less likely, is the o-ring that seals the fuel level sending unit. It's another rubber bit.

Re: Stumbling/misfire on neutral throttle or WOT

While the problem sounds electrical. Repeat your load test with the enrichment (choke) pulled out. Don't know if a failing petcock would restrict the flow of fuel and cause what your experiencing.

Re: Radial clutch MC. Cylinder size

Also using Brembo clutch master from a 09'-11' Ducati Monster. Pull is a bit lighter, but also using an Oberon slave. https://i.postimg.cc/V5S9RnPF/Screenshot-2021-02-01-Stampa-di-fax-a-pagina-intera-oppracing-10-8101-20-brembo-pdf.png https://i.postimg.cc/vcfrRyBg/Screenshot-2021-02-01-Stampa-di-fa...

Re: lights on all the time

Did the conversion to the euro pass to flash switch a few years ago. This is the part number, 35020-mbb-640. Don't know if they are still available. Don't remember exactly how I did it, but if I can, it wasn't that hard. Used this pin out to sort the wires (thanks Eric). You'll need a pick to remove...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Blackbird clutch lever is the same part no as the late Storm one... They are both different to the early Storm part number... However the VFR800 is the...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

From an '09-'11 Monster 1100. The stock axial masters limited the positioning of the bars. They look better, but the real reason was to improve the ergonomics a bit. Closer, but still not exactly where I want to be. What I need is for Tommaselli to offer the riser part of the clip-on with a bit mor...

This insted of finishing more important projects

Removed the plastics to straighten the fins on the oil cooler and thought, why not new masters on both sides, braded lines, and a new clutch slave?

FEC Scotland Tour

Has anyone here signed up for the FEC (Front End Chatter) Scotland tour in May 2022? I was entertaining the idea until I looked at the air fares. The hotels and bike rental were one thing, but combined, for me, it was more than I was willing to cough up. I have, for a long time, wanted to travel Eng...

Re: Tubeless Tyre Valves

https://www.nomartirechanger.com/vs-90-black-10mm.html Have been using these for a number of years. No problems with the fitment into the wheel. I'm guessing you'll be able to find a similar stem on your side of the pond. A word of caution, my fault for being to cheep, I went through four tire chan...
