I can confirm Bill's experience when I had mine done last year. When having the surgery all you can see is a bright light and feel some pressure. As the eye is anaesthetised you don't feel anything. For me the worst part was the water that ran into my ear 'ole!

Can we assume that it was running OK when put into hibernation and was any work done on it over the Winter? Do you hear the fuel pump prime when the ignition is switched on? Do you get a similar amount of fuel out of the float chambers when draining them? If you suspect the pump you could rig...

The answer to your original question was 'no', there aren't, as far as I know any easy bolt in options. What was suggested is the most cost effective means of achieving your goal i.e. to improve ride, cornering. You can fit USD forks but from what I've been told and improvement over an upgraded...

Thanks for the update Mr Semi239 👍:)

I think you may be a bit late with your offer...that post was made some 13 years ago.

Short answer - no You upgrade the springs to (say) Racetech and add their Gold emulators and with the static sag adjusted you will have something that will be as good as you are likely to get. Additionally it will cost significantly less that fitting USD forks. With the '02 not sure which...

When you say 'disabled' is this in the open position but was it closed when you balanced the carbs?

Have you checked that the fuel tank breather is clear? When it misbehaves stop and when removing the fuel filler listen for the sound of air being sucked in. If it is electrical insulation or an electrical component these can break down as they heat up but I would have thought that would be a...

Short answer - no. If it has the OE front springs and damping then at best the performance of the suspension is average. If you want something that can perform better than most riders can take advantage of then re-read the advice from Mr Medic in post #9. Also consider the Racetech single rate...

As it is S7 do you still have functioning V Boost? See attached.

Note that it is a temperature indicator so the needle position on the gauge is not telling you how hot the engine is running. If you are concerned you should check for correct functioning of the indicator, temperature sender and thermostat. To check the indicator remove the wire from the temp...

Follow the attached fault finding algorithm.

You would remove some of the foam padding but that will have three consequences. i) Less foam = less support for your backside which may affect how far you can ride before needing to restore blood circulation. You may be able to mitigate this somewhat with a gel insert. ii) The original cover...

The rear ride height is fixed by the length of the shock absorbers although reducing the pre-load might allow it to settle down a bit more. You will need shorter shocks for the rear. Front can be lowered by dropping the forks through the yokes of by installing lowering blocks. Note that if you...

The blue wire on the OE loom is the feed for the illumination and black is earth. The white/ green is for the reed switch with is part of the signal cancelling function (which will no longer work.)

If not already obtained I suggest you acquire a copy of the Service Manual which explains the operation of the ignition/ timing. There is no adjustment, the timing is fixed and is set by the flywheels position relative to the pick-ups. The only way it could slip would be if the woodruff key was...

As far as I know he no longer makes them, I haven't seen him on V Max Chat for some years and the last time he posted was 2016. I've attached the dimensions of the spindle so you can get one fabricated.

IMO that is unlikely to be the issue. Unless there is excessive axial movement a small side to side play is probably acceptable. When going on to the overrun this will cause a reversal of torque which will be a radial load so components that may be affected by this is where you should be...

Try wrapping some PTFE tape around the thread and up on to the bottom of the hex.

Balancing the carbs is to ensure a similar air flow (or restriction) in the venturi. The mixture screws set the volume passing through the idle circuit. Whilst I stand to be corrected they operate independently of each other. That said if you are inclined to tinker with the idle mixture I'd be...
