Don't do it. The engines are not built to handle that. You'd have a smoked set of rings within one bottle. Jamie Daugherty www.daughertymotorsports.com...
And a supercharger....then bolt a turbo to the exhaust..... ... Tom Mutant VF1000R "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even ...
20 would be pushing it :-) you'd definitely want to incresase fuel flow first, and Jamies top-end oil kit would be a must for anything that would increase...
Hi Still on a mission to get my bike started. Have been offered a Starter relay from a VF750, does anyone know if this is the same as the one in a vf500? If...
You could check the parts numbers on www.temeculamotorsports.com. For the VF500 the starter relay is on the "side cover/battery" fiche. The part # they give is...
I wouldn't worry about the top end oiling as the pistons and rings wouldn't hold up long enough to allow any wear problems up there. Nitrous is nasty stuff, a...
My 500 is back together and, after some coaxing, started and ran pretty well. Took it around the block, got up to 4th gear. It has pretty decent power. Only...

There is a somewhat complicated relationship between the throttle pull and return cables, the idle screw, and the return spring. Tinker with it a little and...
Dave's note (throttle cable adjustments) is a good place to start. Also check that the "choke" is moving freely and make sure you are not sucking air. (WD-40...
I've never rebuilt a VF engine before, but when I rebuilt the rotary in my RX7 I used upgraded apex seals (similar to rings in piston engines) to handle the...
Mark, What you may not know is that the VF500 originally started as a 400. It was bored and stroked to make it more marketable in US and Europe. The whole...
I'll agree with everything about what Pat said, and mostly with the last sentences ! ;o)) But FYI, the VF500F engine has, but being a DOHC V-4, quite few to...
Transmis par un ami motard : Et foin des colonnes de direction sur roulements coniques, des suspensions réglables, et des doubles disques de 320 ! ;o)) A+ ...
Swwweeeeeeeett! Are those V-Rods?? Babelfish translation for us poor saps that skipped French class: "Transmitted by a friend motorcyclist: And hay of the...
Sorry, I should have delivered an english/american version, but you found how to ... :o)) BTW, the french expression "foin de ..." coul be translated as "no...
Boy Noël, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. Honda DID standardize then as they do now. The VF500F's share quite a bit with the VF400F's....
I'm with Jamie on this one, also. I've only seen pics of the VF400, so I can't say from experience. BTW, the VT250F looks to be 1/2 of a VF500F... Probably...
Too much, in my opinion, without seeing it. Unless everything else was perfect, engine work could mean anything. Find out the history of the engine work...
Hi Jamie and all, What I meant is that the VF500F is nearer to the VF1000R "philosophy" than to the VF400F one. I knew pretty well that the VF400-500 and the...
I thought I read somewhere that the 500's engine was bumped 400 block with what amounted to 2 250 heads? I'll have to see if I can find that in my stuff. BTW,...
MUHAHAHAHAHHHHAAAAAAA!!! Now, that`s what I like! Somebody not afraid to try something! Love the dash! I keep wondering if it would work on one of the early...
"Engine" parts : FWIK, the VF500 engine is as well a "twin VTR 250" as a "bumped" VF400. The design basis (V4) and internals disposition are from the VF400,...
The clue was the idle adjustment screw had no effect, i.e., that's because the small spring-loaded lever upon which the idle screw is supposed to act had...
