My asbestos gaskets on my muffler have essentially disintegrated. Are there any SIMPLE solutions for a replacement? It seems to me that the ~$8/gasket from the...
Doug Those gaskets are available aftermarket and the pair cost me less than $5, I think. Go to your local bike shop and have them look them up. Mind had them...
Jim, looks like I'll have to take you up on that offer. Both my local and the next nearest Honda dealers have no idea what I'm talking about when I ask for...
Doug I will get you the info today. My parts guy doesn't open until 10am PST. They would probably mail order it to you as well as they are also a Old Vespa...
Dave, I also own a CF500F2. I don't know which manuals your copies come from. It looks quite imprecise. The "normal" references are the timing marks on the...

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the sprocket markings are visible on both sides of the sprocket. Noticed today: 1. One sprocket bolt missing. 2. Five tappet 'bolts' and...
Looks like my VF500 is going to be unique - one cyl. is going to be 3 valve! - Honda want 42 GBP for one exhaust rocker. That's 14 percent or 1/7th of the cost...
Don't want to be pessimistic, but ... you could need some more bits than a single rocker ... Dave, how much did you pay for the bike ? I got mine for 200 euros...

I am in need of a new tail on my 84 VF500 by spring. Anyone know where I could get one, maybe other parts too?...
I don't know what more to do, I can't figure out why my bike won't start, and I'm clean out of money cause I just got married. it's an 84 green 500cc...
Pull it behind an old pickup like I did my old Bultaco Matador back in 1970 when I was just married and out of money. Been there! Jim ... From: carsonmckay...
i'm north of LA about 4 hours but i will be going down there a bunch in the coming weeks, i was thinking to try and sell it for 500, is that too little or too...
Well were on opposite ends of the earth! Im in Virginia, about 3000 miles away. Im not real sure on the price. My best friend bought a 85 VF500F in good...

Carson Interesting bike. The fairing is non standard (yahama seca II?) Anyone recognize the exhast system? Jim ... it looks good, i just can't make it go....
Carson; If you decide to part it out, I'd like to have the exhaust! I'll even swap you for an original in good shape. Good Luck Pat O'Bryant '84 VF500F...
The temperature in Boston finally rose above freezing. I decided to roll my '84 VF500F out and start it. After a flawless start, I saw a small plume of exhaust...
Hi Henry Do not plug this hole. It is fully intended. And for once, in your customer interest, not the Honda factory one. ;o)) The purpose of these holes are...

Merci Noel: That is useful information, but now I must unclog the right side because it is not venting like the left side does. I am not as surprised by this...
For nothing. I learned this "some" years ago. After a 125, then a 175 Terrot (a french make of this time), I had replaced my CB72 with a brand new CB 500 Four...
