Yes, I think so. I've just taken the clutch lever off to inspect and that rubber boots seems to fit it.

That looks bent to me. Does the heel plate touch the swing arm when the suspension is compressed? Yes, it is bent. I don't think it touched the swingarm. Now I've installed the new/2nd hand bits. See pics below of setup and old bent/broken parts. https://i.ibb.co/R72bTZK/IMG-20211015-151430.jpg htt...

Why that grooved bit then? Does that boot fit into that groove?

Hi After my bike hit the ground, the clutch lever was bent back. So I bought a matching clutch lever/brake lever combo off ebay. All fits well, but I'm getting a new clutch master cylinder push rod assembly as the old ones have major wear. See https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PC-VFR-800-CB-CBR-VF-VTR-100...

Gotcha.

Hi
Stupid question time. Is the engine in a VTR1000F mounted on rubber mounts or solidly bolted to the frame? I can't see any mounts so...

Hey I was moving my bike around the other day, pushing backwards up a slightly steep bit of concrete and my left foot slipped! Down I went with the bike.... Now I have a busted gear pedal/shifter and a bent clutch lever. Both of these items I will replace. Also have a ding in the tank. I will cover...

Ok thanks. This gives me confidence to order the cover.

Hi
My tank has a few dings in it and I was wondering about an ABS cover like this one...

I remember reading somewhere that there are two tank sizes - 16L and 19L. How do I tell which one is mine?

Hi
I managed to buy a 2nd hand battery cover for my bike. I can see where one part covers the battery. Where does the other flap go?

All good. I took a rest then had another crack at it. All together now.

Hi Now tackling the front fairing. I can slip it onto the bike, and do up the 2 socket head screws on each side, but now the rear vision mirrors don't line up!!! I bought a new visor off ebay as the old one was cracked and dull. It seems to line up ok with the holes on the fairing. But the holes in ...

Thanks Mototrick. I've decided to take it to a professional to do the carbies for me once it's legally on the road. On 2nd thoughts I'll have a go myself. Is this the carby sync thread? https://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=18430 NOTE: Link to PDF of carby sync document no longer v...

Thanks. Bike idles around 1300-1400rpm when hot. Bike still pops a bit sometimes at idle. Seems to rev ok. Does it need the carbies sychronised? What is involved in that process? Mind you I've yet to take it for a ride. I'm sure more surprises will come up! Under tank: https://i.ibb.co/dpCpLJ5/IMG-2...
