Hey I just wanted to tell you about a great company I found! I applyed for a lower mortgage rate and i only had to fill in a simple form. This month alone I...
Happy Anniversary! Did you take her out for dinner or something special like that?!? ... From: VF500F@yahoogroups.com [mailto:VF500F@yahoogroups.com] On...
Got a few clutch questions. Mine was slipping so I opened it up and the plates looked fine. No blue heat glazing and the clutch discs seemed to have plenty...
what kind of oil do you use? if you use the wrong type of oil, the clutch can have adverse effects. personally i use ONLY honda GN4 oil and have never had that...
I would also think about the engine oil. Did you change it recently (some time before the clutch slipping) ? The automotive oils, from the SJ grade and on,...
The last oil change, I put in Penzoil 10w40 conventional Motorcycle oil. ... From: VF500F@yahoogroups.com [mailto:VF500F@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark...
At some point a while back, I put in a semi-synth automotive oil and I did notice some slippage. Changing back to conventional motorcycle oil did seem to...
Won't the clutch slave piston or the rod stick in some way ? Noël, just thinking of another cause ... ... From: Tony C. To: VF500F@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
I was also thinking that the clutch may need to be adjusted. I have found that to get the hydralic clutch to be just right in terms of feel and engagement...
... Thanks. I'll check that too. I missed your non-leaking tank - but it was the wrong color combo anyway. I have the blue over white with a red stripe. On...
Summary post. Oil began leaking from my bike but was hard to ID, initially. After some research and a lot of cleaning and tracing, it was clearly the clutch...
Good luck ! If it works (I wish so), it will be - at least - well earned. And ... please tell us ! ;o)) Noël ... From: new_i_m To: VF500F@yahoogroups.com ...
Sounds like fun you two had fun. I guess I'm itching to blow mine up because it seems like my 84 loves revving past 12k. ... From: VF500F@yahoogroups.com...
Clutch feels fine and grabs fine under normal riding (by normal I mean shifting below 12K rpm!). It’s usually either when it’s very hot and I’m beating...
I’m not sure I understand. What would cause the slave or rod to stick? ... From: VF500F@yahoogroups.com [mailto:VF500F@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of...
I was just wondering if some part (slave piston and/or clutch rod) could not be absolutely free in its cylinder of gearbos axle, and so prevent the clutch...
OK, So I was the guy who cleaned the carbs for the 3rd time and when I threw it back together it would not start. Just the occational "pow" out of the exhaust....
False alarm. It's hard to be this dumb...It really is. I didn't have the plug grounded. Once I did on the valve cover I found my spark. I squirted some starter...
I didn't read your first post about cleaning the carbs so bear with me. Have you established that your fuel pump (If equipped) is working and that you are...
Alright, my (hopefully) last follow-up on this fix, with more thoughts on the fix. Jamie had recommended not bothering with trying to secure the seal in place...
Thanks for the feedback info. This could be quite useful for some of us in the future ! And now, ride oil-leak free ! ;o)) Noël ... From: new_i_m To:...
Hello all. I searched the previous posts and I have found that resoundingly, the majority likes BT-45's. I need tires as my front is nearly shot. It's a 100...
I have a BT45 on my front but went with a cheap cheng shin on my rear. I'm new to streetbikes and use the bike for commuting, rarely getting into the mountains...
The FZR was very capable and extremely stable especially at speed (I pegged it in 6th and it was dead solid, no shake shimmy or anything!). Deadly fast too as...
... Yes, it will suck. Anyone who says otherwise simply has not pushed the bike hard enough with the wrong size, then the right size, to know any better. Rub...
Personally I like the Dunlops for the stock wheels. As mentioned, you should stick with the stock sizes if possible. Your comment about people running...
If you go with the F2 wheel you'll need to have it machined in order to maintain rotor alignment. You'll also want to put your VF500 rotors on the new wheel. ...
Jamie, What do you think of a 120/70 compared to a 120/60? I have a line on a F2 complete front end with wheel, I will probably go that route along with the...
