Brake maintenance on a Honda VFR 750
Don't just change the brake fluid on your motorcycle. You need to inspect, clean and service the brake calipers also. The pistons get corroded, caliper seals degrade and the channels in the brake caliper get clogged up.
In this video I do a full maintenance of the brake calipers and master cylinder on my 1996 Honda VFR 750.

Classic bike review - Honda Shadow VT700C - An exceptional piece of engineering
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
The Honda Shadow VT700C from 1983-85 might be a nearly 40 year old cruiser motorcycle design but it was state of the art when it was released in 1983 as the VT750C. It featured a one way clutch, adapted for the first time from Honda's racing technology and it had hydraulically adjusted valves, a technology that you will wish you had in your own motorcycle.

VFR 750 Owner Review
Переглядів 8 тис.2 роки тому
When the VFR 750 was first released in 1986 and throughout its period of manufacture until the end of 1997 it remained head and shoulders the best all round sports touring motorcycle that money could buy. Over 25 years later, I believe a clean VFR 750 is still the best bang for your buck. They're so cheap nowadays that sellers are practically giving them away. You'd be daft not to buy one and e...
Honda VFR750 RC36A hitting the twisties in Ireland 🇮🇪
Переглядів 2752 роки тому
Just a short video I created from footage of my 1996 Honda VFR750 hitting the twisty country roads which are typical in Ireland 🇮🇪 Its such a great bike. Full of power and torque. It handles twisty roads no problem. Turns into corners like a racebike but comfortable for long journeys. And the exhaust note is epic 👌
Ducati Monster 696 - Stock exhaust sound

1985 Honda VT700C walkabout and startup
Переглядів 1692 роки тому
This 1985 Honda VT700C under went a restoration and custom paint job in 2019. Dark silver frame and orange tank/paneling. They're a fantastically fun motorcycle and feature a low maintaince, reliable engine which had hydraulically adjusted valves technology which you probably won't find in many (if any) modern day motorcycles.

Walkaround of my Ducati Monster 696. It bought it when it was twelve years old with just over 10,000 km on the odometer. Its was in as new condition when I bought it. Not a single scratch on the paint work anywhere. Its unbelievable that you can keep a motorbike in that good a condition.

    I bought this bike as my first bike - it's already 23 years old, with 37,000 km on the odometer. everything is fine except for a slight noise in gear no. 6, but only when under load. something like a rustling chain. Is this a sign of worn gears in gear 6?

    Good information.. I have just purchased (last week) a 1991 VFR750, 3rd Gen I believe? It’s all original, white (I really wanted a VFR in white) with only 14k miles.. I have 6 other 90s bikes & have been riding since ‘89, but I’ve never owned a VFR.. well, I’ve fixed that now 😁 Looking forward to getting to know this bike

    Great job. Found this whilst looking for a temp solution for my 2 bikes whilst I build my garage/garden room at the back on my house (on to a private access road). May well do the same using your helpful video. I did have a thought on your set up as see at 4:48 there a view down your side passage to the rear showing the stepped block and brick-coped party wall that also recesses in narrowing the width of that gap further. I wondered if it swapped out for a thin fence that followed the middle line of the lower front wall if that would give enough wiggle room (and it would probably mean a wiggle!) to get your bikes down the passage? I imagine you considered this and may not have or want the garden space fo this anyway but just a thought. I'm also currently obsessed with groundworks (as part of my learning on myh project) and note that a very tidy cement base you have there out front!

  • @northeast7412

    My bike has an off/run/off switch, a 2 position light switch, and a start push button, when I turn my key on with the ignition and press the start button it starts the bike regardless of which position the off/run/off switch is in, it also continues to run whichever position that switch is at if I move it, my next issue is my lights will only come on when I put that 3 way switch to the run position but this then also starts the motorcycle without pressing the start button, it continues to turn over the starter motor until I turn the light switch to the off position, any ideas what is going on with this? I really want to keep the switch as it’s the original 1980 switch for my Kawasaki. If I do have to replace it, would wires be the same colour on all switches? P.s I also have parasitic drain of around 1v loss over a 12 hour period, could this be cos of this issue with this switch?

    Got a dumb question, Changed oil and in my haste blanked out the fill spout on the right side and instead filled on the left stator cover where you can view the timing marks. I ended up putting 2qts on the left side and 0.9 on the right, I have not started it yet but will that be enough oil to circulate back into the normal fill or should I full drain and fill in the correct right side? Thanks **Update - It finally flowed into the reservoir just took a good 24 hours, was fairly sure the crank had a channel to allow the flow just was odd it took that long

    There are little caps over your fuel mix screws remove them to get at the screws and make your mix richer to get rid of the pops and bangs. Honda made the bikes mix super lean but if you go at the exhaust altering it in anyway or air filter you will have to retune your carbs

    That box metal part is common to be rusted out but its not load baring its probably due to those bikes coming in from canada or us to the uk. I have 3 that have that box part totally rusted out and one that is intact as it sat in a container for yrs due to god knows why. Otherwise the steel on it is like gun metal

    @kevinx9225 3 місяці тому

    The main thing I hate about the VFR, and I've had several, is the single sided swingarm is pointless with the exhaust located where it is. It negates the ease of wheel maintenance. Also, having owned the Suzuki RF900 during that era, that or CBR 900 were cheaper to maintain. The VFR's best attribute was its cures. They are boring. The flat torque curve and lack of excitement over time is a buzz kill. That's why people got rid of them but come back. Oh, I've owned 4 over the years.
