Recently had some weird electrical symptoms as well, turned out to be a bad earth. The trip over the gutter might have knocked an earth strap loose somewhere.

Cage? :confused:

Anyway, if a piston hits *anything* you'd know about it, and you wouldn't be driving anywhere.

To the OP: If the sound is from the valve cover then it's very likely to be...

If you're talking valve tappet adjustment, any mechanic can do it in about an hour.

It's the simple screw and nut arrangement too, not the shim/bucket type.

CD5 VTi, 220,000kms.

No real issues, except for a rear tail-light wiring defect which has got me stumped.

Symptons:

Brake light indicator on the dash is on.
When you press the brake pedal,...

First things first, check your bulbs.

Changed the front sway bar D bushes on my VTi CD5 the other day.

27 mm ID bushes = 27mm roll bar?

I'm going on the experience of seeing the VIN codes on cars in person. I'm wondering if you've seen a JDM SiR car in person, and if you have whether you've read the VIN code. It doesn't say CD6......

Xenon: If that's true then I'll stand corrected. Show me your VIN please.

skyflyer: obviously? please demonstrate the obviousness of my ignorance.

Uh, Wrong.

CD5 = pre facelift.
CD6 = post facelift.

Minor cosmetic differences, including front bar, grille, rear tail lights and f/r lips.
Major difference being switch from ODB-I in...

Too hard to answer - depends on the width of your wheels, the offset, the camber and the amount of lowering.

Is the damage on the inside from scrubbing or from excessive camber wear?

Well I've decided to do some work to my CD5 (1993 VTi) as I drive it no more than twice a week.

I'm not an expert when it comes to which parts do what but so far this is what I've got in mind:
...

No idea how it works in QLD, but here in Mexico you need to have the installation engineered for it to be fully legal. By that I mean the rails/brackets. The seats have to be ADR approved no matter...

The bad OEM seats in the CD series were made worse in the CG update. My back used to ache after about an hour's drive. Nothing to do but get used to it, or do a swap.

The issue with swapping to...

I have chrome housing, clear front Stanleys. The front is plastic.

Keep it and H22 it.

Lend it to me until you buy one ;)

The rules have been like that since longer than I can remember. You're either a very seasoned rider well advanced in years, or you're simply spouting rubbish. Given you can't spell "northern" and...

Wrong.

Thanks for letting myself and others know that you're simply not worth the mental concentration when it comes to talking bikes. Maybe you need to do something productive, like learning a bit about...

No, the people that buy them just don't know any better. And I diss idiots who buy cars 'because they're fully sikk bro lol omg wtf hektic, bro'. That's all. You can buy whatever bike you want at...

Because there are an endless number of stupid cashed up squids waiting to buy ancient machinery. $5k for a bike built over 18 years ago? Please.

You may have beat a RVF400, but most likely that...

I'm pretty certain you can go lower on the front of a CBR. And if not, one for a Baby Hornet would fit.

Gear ratios - it's got nothing to do with getting bigger bikes. It's about determining the...

Why can't you do 'nothing' with the front sprocket?
Do you know anything about gear ratios?

Which year? There are CD model Aerodecks floating around.

I installed new near-OEM spec gas struts (KYB Excel G's) and Lovells 'sport' springs in my old car and the comfort change was night and day. Nobody tends to replace shock absorbers unless something...
