Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Hi Chris, not sure tbh. They look brand new. The wiring and waterproof block connectors are new, direct straight fit to the vtr loom. It's a nice kit, very simple no messing. They're modified cbr1000 coils and come with the ridges smoothed off where the rubber boot slides on. The fella's done a lov...

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Fitted Denso stick coils, supplied as a kit by Matt Bikes on the FB forum - dunno if it'll improve 'owt, there was nowt wrong with the ignition & it ran sweet before doing the mod but for that price I thought I'd replace the 25 year old coils. Nowt to it, piece of cake. https://i.postimg.cc/svH...

Re: VTR smoking when startup
Hi Chris, thank you for the response I really appreciate it. I checked the oil level and it has dropped by about 500ml in a week (I drive the bike about 80km (50miles) per day. Looks like the bike is burning oil. I do however still feel that it might be valve stem seals as it smokes when starting a...

Re: Exhaust header gaskets
The copper gaskets seat better and when the header is connected, it is flush with the engine port. The aluminium fibre gaskets create a gap because they are thicker (but I thought they were supposed to compress and crush on installation). The aluminium fibre gaskets create the gap you see in the im...
