Guys, It's bee a LONG time since I have ridden a motorcycle (like 20 years or more..damn..I can't believe I am that old). Anyway...I rode the vf500f I bought...
Hi Todd What seems to be missing is that you are supposed to pull the clutch lever in whenever you have to move the gear pedal, as soon as the engine is...
I wouldn't go with that. I do most of my shifting without the clutch, as long as you're moving and match revs. Obviously you use it from a stop, coming to a...
Hi Todd, I would say that the reason you can't find neutral is the clutch is dragging a little putting a small load on the transmission gears. A couple of...
Good answer. Best place to start! ... From: Jim & Sandy Farnsworth To: VF500F@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 7:31 AM Subject: RE: [VF500F]...
Well…..I think the problem with finding neutral might be the oil……I think it has a blown head gasket and the oil is currently a soup of coolant and oil...
Todd, What you call a "sequential box" is not a "box" in itself, but the shifting system. Bikes have a "sequential" shifting system, cars have what I would...
The problem with finding the neutral could simply the coolant/oil mix. Don't go too much farther with "that" in the engine ! ;o)) Good luck. Noël ... From:...
Hi Todd, In racing applications systems are used that momentarily cut the ignition and/or fuel injection fuel delivery so that the transmission is unloaded....
I still don't buy it. I could have sworn there was a discussion on this in the past and the majority said that they did NOT use their clutchets normally. To...
It still remains that clutchless shifting is definitely NOT relative to normal riding. Unless one looks for grapping some tenths of seconds, wich is nonsense...
May I suppose that anyone had read "possibly uphill" instead of "possibly downhill" ? Thanks. English/American is not my mother language ! LOL ! Noël ... ...
me too; 100front/120 rear. at first, the bike seems to be a bit sluggish than with thinner tires,but the handling is much improved on the curves with the 120r....
It all depends on your opinion. Personally, I find it easier and more enjoyable to avoid the clutch when not necessary. Even when driving "normally". Of...
Interesting thread and a nice summary Noel. Don't forget that pure racing machines use much lighter flywheels as well, which lessen the shock loading on a...
Looking for a tank for an 85 vf500f. I'm not concerned with the paint. I'm looking for a tank that isnt dented too much. Or maybe someone knows if there is...
Hi Brian, Good luck for finding a tank. That's hard to find with no rust inside. When (if ?) you find one, be sure that the fuel tap is the same as the present...
Good remark about the lighter flywheels (and we have none on the bikes but the alternator rotor). About the weight of the synchros, it is not much comared to...
Salutations! I recently purchased a "project" Interceptor. It's an '86. My partner in crime and I have started disassembling the bike and the further we take...
Drain the system (remove the cap and there is a drain bolt on the water pump) remove the 2 hoses and then there are 2 bolts that go through the pump into the ...
Personally, I've use clutchless upshifts on nearly EVERY motorcycle I've owned/rode (with the exception of some OLD pre-70s bikes). I don't do it ALL the ...

Wow, 3000 miles? Where are you located? Many bikes have been sold/traded through this email forum. Pics would be great. I ended up selling my '86 through...
