Hi, For the swingarm to the sprocket, I found 19 mm. Fot the other side, hard to measure, since I could not find a reference surface. Sorry it this not helps...
Sorry for the late answer. Been out for Saturday and Sunday. That's hard to say, since the sprocket is on the wheel. What I can tell is that the sprocket is 7...
ni noel, for ref. are you coming up with 19mm from the machined part of the swingarm (below the chain adjuster) to the face of the sprocket + 7mm for the...

Hi All, Would anyone out there have a spare stock cush drive and sprocket along with a metric caliper on the workbench? I'd really appreciate a dimension...
Hi All, Anyone out there have a spare rear wheel hub (a.k.a. final driven flange 42610-KE7-000) for a VF500F that is taking up too much room on the workbench...
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I have an 86 model and want to do a carb service on my own by removing the carbs and soaking them in a solution overnight. The quote...
I would suggest that you get a Honda service manual, if possible, or at least a Clymer manual to start with. To remove the carbs: Remove upper faring, seat,...
Good post, Pat ! LOL !!! May I add : DO NOT remove the carbs unless necessary. Any problem ? What are the symptoms ? Noël ... From: Patrick O'Bryant To:...
... Pat: thanks. Noel: the bike sat in storage for six months and, after leaving storage, has been used daily for the past three months. The symptoms are not...
Just brought home a new (to me) VF. Owner did tell me that on his last oil change, shop indicated there was water in the oil. After starting and riding...
If it your first time and the carbs have have never been off or havent been off for some time get ready for some frustration and some foul language. I just did...
From the symptoms, it looks like what happened to mine. I would think "needle jets" (aka "main jets holders"). The tiny radial holes in there could be clogged....
Scott, Since the engine overheated, it could be one of the head gaskets, rather than the water pump. A cooling system pressure test should bring you some more...
Guys- It's alive! Put the just-soaked carbs back on the 85 model just now, and all seems right with the VF500 world for once. Runs. Idles. Moves in a forward...
Further review(and a cooling system test) indicates that the cooling system does maintain 15lbs of pressure for almost fifteen seconds, (engine cold). My...
So the - supposedly - remaining faulty part would be the water pump ... The pump has a built-in "bypass" system in case the seal fails (*), so water is allowed...
Hi Greg, "Runs. Idles. Moves in a forward direction under it's own power." ... That's great (at last !). Welcome in the "running" bikes club ! ;o)) Sorry I...
Try a 2nd layer of heat shrink tubing..... If you grind and replace the seal, use some JB Weld or the likes to hold the new seal in place. Make sure the...
Sorry, here is the (*) : The seal I was talking about is the one which prevents water from coming into the engine. Well, it this one fails ... ... From: Noël...
... Ohhhhhh! I was thinking JB Weld AROUND the outside diameter of the seal, and trying to figure out how it held that way once it slid back in. I like your...
FWIW... My dad had rigged a tire pressure valve stem to a radiator cap for testing radiators after he soldered them. This may be of some use. So might a...
A bike does not develop a timing problem after sitting a while. Trust me, you described the classic gummy carb symptoms almost perfectly. You might get...
