Does this suggest that an 84 with the 86 cams would perform as well/better than the 86 out of the box? Will this even work? Are the hotter cams on the 86...
I have spare factory pipes. I'm in Toronto Canada. I am currently working on restoring the down-pipes and collector. Once that's done, they will essentially...
I agree, I have a 85 and my wheels have black three spokes and polished rims but they are not two pieces. It appears to be one casting. The Euro 500's look...
The US model 84 & 85 wheels are definitely two pieces bonded togther. Look closely at the junction between the rim and the spoke/hub casting. It's a better...
Honda Hurricane, CBR600F, from 87-90 or 91, used 37 mm fork tubes as did the 86-87 VFR750s & VFR700. The clip-ons will fit the forks, but they are lower than...
The 37mm clip-ons off of you FZR will fit. Like someone already mentioned, there could be clearance issues. But, clip-ons are the best, cheapest, easiest way...
The guide bush on one of my forks is too loose and is causing fork instability at full extension, resulting in a clunk when I go over bumps and somewhat loose...
Yes, of course. Expect only a couple of hp at most though. The change in 86 was made to increase driveability. The lower redline was introduced because, as...
Got a pair off a CB900, I think... anyway that's was what the box said at the spares place. They fit really well. Once the throttle was on I realised that I...
Does anyone have any experience with replacing the rear mono-shock spring on their VF500F with a stiffer spring. Progressive Suspension made one, it was...
Here's something I found posted on the web. This may help you to shim up those bushings. I'm going to try this on my forks int eh next few weeks. Jerry Kroeger...
Thank you very, very much, Jerry. Great Internet sleuthing. This is an extremely interesting article that could benefit a lot of bike owners. My problem is...
161121-MB1-671 is the vacuum piston, which includes the diaphragm. List price is about $72. I have a spare you're welcome to. I'd just want a few bucks via ...
I wouldn't know. I have an FZR1k... FZR600s are almost as rare as VF500 here... Btw, I don't have an air box for the VF500. I don't think I'm going to get one...
Yes, this is something that I've had listed on my site for some time now. I have a limited selection of spring rates to choose from. The Progressive one...
Hello all I had the ambitious project to rebuild a 1984 VF500... Note that I'm writing at past tense... Due to a combination of factors, I'm letting this...
Tyrone First, stock ones are easy to come by off ebay. I also have a set. if you like. Don't know where you are located but I am on the west cost of the USA. ...
Hello everyone. I've been doing some work on my bike and as my clutch was slipping, I pulled it out and took a look at it. Everything looked ok so I put it...
I should have mentioned this in my previous post. When I was making my locking tool, I accidentally damaged the clutch cover gasket. There is a small tear on...
I'm in Cape Town, South Africa. Just a rough estimate on shipping UPS express is about 230 Canadian dollars. Yes, I could go for normal postage, but the South...
Thanks I'll check out your site. I currently run 30W fork oil in my rear shock. What I may potentially do is get a extra rear shock off ebay and have that one...
I did this last year, I'm pretty sure it's not 40ftlb. Probably around ~15-20 ftlb. I'll check the Honda shop manual tonight. ... clutch ... looked ... ...
Tyrone Ah... it would be great to visit South Africa but it is not in my current plans. Good luck. Maybe there are more vfr750's in your country. That is a...
