You may have to simply buy your parts piece by piece from the dealer, if you cannot find an aftermarket kit. The parts are still available, I think, but it...
I overhauled my '84 carbs last year, and they were in fairly good condition (year 1984, 72,000 km). I had to buy no new part, the whole thing just needed a...
Not to discourage, but I hope you're prepared to nearly will away your firstborn child and your left leg for those diaphragms. Last bike we had that needed...
There is a guy on eBay who sells decent kits at a good price. His username is fngster. If he doesn't have a kit listed for the 500's just e-mail him. I...

So Ive seen some 500 ceptors with the f2 on the end of the name.. what the heck is that? They seem to have a full fairing but are there any other differences?...
About 2 years ago I had posted 2 pics of the french VF5F2 leaflet. See : http://minilien.fr/a0jvg9 and following. It's a 1984 model. The fairing lowers were...
Yup. I've got an 84 that a valve head dropped on. Got an 86 engine as a replacement. Using the 84' carbs though. I forget which set of the rubber mounts you...
From what I can see on the factory parts catalog, the rubber monts are the same from '84 to '86. So the '84 carbs should fit right in as well. Do notice that...

Yeah, there was no problems with with "completely 84'" setup without the fuel pump unless the filter or intake screen started to get clogged or you were...
