Hi Jamie and all, I had no new from Corbett's, but you "waked" me up a bit about this. ;o)) So today I searched on the web with Google, and I found this...
Not sure if this applies, but it may be relevant; When Soichiro Honda was alive he guaranteed to supply spare parts for all the motorcycles Honda manufactured ...
OK, Thomas, Maybe I should have added that the current Honda policy about spare parts for old models MAY apply only - and only now, too - to some emblematic...
Exactly right. When the old man was still alive his ideas were still in effect. He still liked to discontinue parts to get owners to buy new motorcycles....
I think some are trying to charge astronomical prices already, but they don`t sell. Reasonably priced parts seem to sell quickly, at least some parts I watch. ...
Noel, I think you are right, they probably got 'unavailable' from Honda USA and didn`t pursue it any further. I didn`t either as I found a set of used for ...
Hi everyone, been lurking for a while while I rebuild an old VF500F I picked up for $300. Amazing how much money you can sink into these things... Thanks for...
Bike only has 2,500 miles. Im parting it out or will sell the whole bike. I had it running over the summer but other projects took over. Email me if your...
Hi folks! I'm doing a valve check on my #2 1986. The engine itself appears to be an '86: proper carbs, four-bolt cam caps, etc. But the timing marks on the...
From the marks I'd written on mine, the dented one comes to the left (#1 cyl.). I thing this may be "idiotproof", since the dent is probably for clearance from...
... http://autos.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/VF500F/photos/view/e8b1?b=4 Take a look at the picture above with the dent in the left rear short exhaust pipe. As...
After having read your posts...I question myself. I have had the engine out of one of my two running (actually my kid's) 500's, and on both, the dented down...
Sorry, Steve ! Maybe I mismarked my pipes ? Please let us know ! ;o) Noël ... De : blackrocket6 À : VF500F@yahoogroups.com Envoyé : vendredi 5 janvier...
I guess if Dave has looked at some assembled bikes and says it goes on the right that's probably where it should be. I did spend some time messing with them...
Dave said : "The dent is for the center stand to be able to fully retract." Steve said : "I can't see any clearance issues with the clutch slave/sprocket cover...
Noel, I misunderstood the question the first time I read it thinking that the dent he referred to was on the muffler. I'm not sure about the swing-arm bolt....
The amazing weather up here (waiting for the weather revenge) in Vermont prompted me to start up the bike and take a ride yesterday. It's been sitting,...
What worries me is your jump starting comment. Was it with a running car? That is bad for several reasons and could be the cause of the boiling water. And...
... No, car off. ... I filled the battery again and started charging with my Battery Tender. So far, it's probably been charging for a total of 6-8 hours and...
Chris, My experience with batteries makes me think that yours' level had been lowering and lowering for months, from well before last November. Did you...
I had been searching for a while a maintenance-free (sealed) battery for the VF500. These batteries can be, if linked to an automatic charger, forgotten for ...
... Nope. I only check the battery when something goes wrong. :( Just not something that was on the forefront of my mind. ... The past few winters when I put...
