I may have mentioned this before but I have found that if this is tightened to the factory spec (Steering Crown Steering Shaft M22x1.0 110Nm 80ft/lb) then it adds additional pre-load to the bearing and they are then too tight. What I do is adjust them to the correct spec with the two lock rings...

Thanks for the feedback. The point Mr Medic make is valid although I would have done this before ordering the boots to confirm they were the problem. Whilst I would change them purely for aesthetic reasons then if the cracks don't go through then they are unlikely to allow additional air in...

When all else has failed, look at the Service Manual, pages 8-24 to 32 refer.

Out of curiosity, do the cracks go through to the inside?

Check the side stand switch first.

Still has microscopic bubbles in the system. Normal. This happens because you are displacing fluid from the callipers and line. As the pistons do not return to the original position after several squeezes no more fluid is displaced. They will return as the wheel rotates and the pistons are...

This is the relevant part of your post. As Stephan suggests, you need to investigate why the one cylinder appears to be running lean. If you re-apply the choke (partially or fully) do the the revs come down? What does the plug on that cylinder look like relative to the others? What happens if...

Do you have the VIN #?

This is a bit like buses, none for ages then two turn up together. This sounds like a similar problem to this thread.

The good news is that you have ruled out one possible cause. You have correctly concluded that if you have spark but no fire then that leaves either compression or fuel. Next step would be to check compression to rule out another possibility. Assuming that is OK then it is a fuel issue. From...

This is how V Boost operates with an OE control unit. Whilst the PO may have set it it up differently from what you describe perhaps not?

The cheapest option I can think of would be to cut up a tin can to get some thin steel. Apply a thin application of exhaust sealer and retain with jubilee clips. Paint black with some VHT paint.

Is the bike new to you and/ or have you done anything to it recently? Is this a new noise? Can you reproduce the noise when the bike is stationary by revving the engine? I somewhat surprised that you would be able to hear an electrical buzzing whilst riding what with a helmet on and the wind...

Forgive me if this sounds sarcastic, it isn't meant to be. The simple answer is when they are beyond their service life. For the components you mention this would be after many tens of thousands of miles but there is no definitive answer how long that may be and will vary from bike to bike...

You are talking about either XJR Max or Winkmax, neither of whom I have heard a peep from for many years. I have the dimensions if that would help.

It is often the case that making and breaking a connection is sufficient to clean them up and restore function. Was this a total loss of all electrical power and was it the orange from the pick-up coil or to the NSR coil? If it was the pick-up coil it would kill the engine but what I don't...

Before doing anything first check if the friction plates are within spec. In my case I started getting slipping when they were at the lower end.

Thank you for the English lesson. Apart from the fact the you stated you were a 'rebuilder' and with no other facts I was merely trying to establish why you are replacing the bearings and what leads you to thinking it is necessary. I'd hope that someone would check bearing clearances and...
