What's amusing about the Metzler Lasertec front is that the tread pattern looks identical to my current ME33. Went to Metzler's website and they have size and...
I've ran the Metzler and the Avon Supervenom, and I like the Avons much better. They seem to be a bit stickier and also softer. However my front tire on my...
i've only had dunlops on my interceptor, K591s when i got it, GT501s right now. i've been very satisfied overall, and the only issue i ever had was my old 591...
Not mine just saw the ad. I figured I would let everybody know. This is near where I work. If any body buys it I could help. Shipping, storage ect. ...
Just wanted to put the word out that I am looking to purchase a vf500f in good to excellent shape. Would prefer an 86 model. It would be just great to find one...
The NC motor makes the same power but is lighter and far more reliable.Any particular reason you'd want to go backwards other than for the sake of it ? joel ...
Joel, I believe you answered your own question; with a slight change in your perspective, as to backwards. "The NC motor makes the same power but is lighter...
I do agree with the toughts about the engine itself. But why not then jump straight to an actual VFR400 bike, and overbore it to 500 cc ... if there enough...
"It's hard going for me to go to the local Honda/Yamaha dealer to buy parts and not pass by a CBR600RR or YFZ-R1 without staring for minutes at the AL frame,...
Hi guys, Some days ago I said : "There is something else which I much more worry about". So here it is : my '84 VF500F2 fuel tank is "over-rusted". I knew that...
btw, was is the difference between a f and f2? i'm not sure which one my bike is... `h NoelAuger <noelauger@...> wrote: Hi guys, Some days ago I said :...
noel, how does rust in tank accumilate? is it when the bike is stored for a long time, in addition to age? what makes the metal break down? curious. sorry for...
From what I've seen on the 2 or 3 tanks I've had on my 84 VF500F, I would say the issue is that the tank is somewhat oddly shaped, and the water collects in...
i think it all comes down to a matter of personal preference. if you're looking for a very peaky engine that hits hard and fast, inline is the way to go....
"the water collects in the lowest point back near the seat and over time it rusts through there." Thanks, Levi, I did know this ... Noel ... From: Levi Smith ...
I agree with you there. The VF500F's hold up pretty well for 20 year bikes handling wise. When I have riden with a friend on his CBR600F2, I can hang in there...
Hey guys, It seems like when I'm really being aggressive my shift into 3rd gear often results in the clutch slipping and me over-revving. I suspect there is ...
Same HP, yes. But not as much torque, which, if one bike is a slippery in the wind as the other, would allow the 500 to pull away on the banking of Daytona....
Noel, I have an '84 and a "spare" tank that I think is an '86 (it's on an '86 frame!) I'll check to see if there is much/any difference. Pat O'Bryant ... ...
After repairing the pinholes in mine I'm thinking occasional (or even regular) treatments of gasline antifreeze would be a good idea. The alcohol breaks down...
Thanks, Pat ! What I already know is that the 1986 tank which I saw yesterday would probably fit on my '84 frame. I say probably because I only measured the...
