I may have a new one coming. The supplier should confirm availability early next week. If that falls through, I would definitely like to get one from you. I'll...
As I suspected, the dealer could not get a piston so I would like to take you up on your offer. Let me know what the damages will be and I'll get payment out...
What year is yours? I don't think there is any difference in the pistons (from year to year) but I have several to choose from. I'll have to yank one out of...
From what I can tell, the part numbers are the same for 84, 85, and 86 pistons. I bought the bike as a restoration project. It appears to have dropped a valve...
Bike runs well, but needs some TLC. Sat for a while after starter burned out (starter-switch was stuck on). Bike also includes: - spare starter - an extra '85...
hello , i will need to perform the valve adjustment on a 86 interceptor 500, I have adjusted valves on a cx 500, but the heads stuck out in plane sight. I need...
As Pat mentions, do not bother with the 'special' tools. They aren't available anymore anyway, but even when they were available it was NOT the way to do the...
While we're on it (I may regret asking this question later), is there a consensus on the 'right' way to do a valve adjustment on these motors? It seems there...
I'm looking for a flywheel puller for my 86 VF500F. I bought one that said it was for this bike but it had the wrong threads. It looks like it should be a 19MM...
Here is a little tip for ajusting the valve tappet. Vice a #4 Robertson screw in a pair of needle nose vice grips. The #4 screw hole is the same size as the...
Craig, That's a cool tip! Now just got to find the screw. Probably available at Home Deshmo or Louies.... I used a piece of rod that I braised into a T...
If you're referring to the alternator/flywheel on the left side of the crankshaft, I was able to get that off with a few taps of a rubber mallet using no...
Here's my notes on VF500F valve adjustment technique. The shop manual covers the basics (crank and cam positions, what needs to be removed to get to the...
By the way, i've got a used official Honda manual for the 84-86 VF500F I no longer need (my bike is crushed into a cube somewhere). I think I paid 100 bucks...
The top of your head is right : it's actually M20x1.5 ! ;o) Noël ... From: Jamie Daugherty To: VF500F@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007...
Good morning folks! My son recently lost the engine in his '85 Babyceptor. Will a Magna engine work, or adapt the Interceptor frame? Thanks, Dave. ... Be a...
Dave, The Magna engine (V30) will bolt right in. If I remember correctly there is some difference in cam timing and gearing, but I think that's all. What...
Pat, Thanks for your quick response. He ran the #2 connecting rod through the front, but got to the clutch in time to keep it upright. I have three other...
I have an exrtra 1986 vf500f engine (no idea on running condition) that I wouldn't mind getting rid of if that would help you as well... blackrocket6...
Ken, How much are you looking to get out of it, and where are you located? We am about 100 miles north of Salt Lake City. If the engine doesn't run, I can...
A friend had V30 Magna, here are some differences noticed. 1) Cams are different, timing and lift. 2) Redline is 11.5K versus 12K of Interceptor 3) Gearing is...
Hello all, I picked up my 86 VF500 last weekend and have been going through it before I start riding to make sure it is safe ( 20+ years is hard on a bike ) ...
I don't know if a lean condition would cause a valve peck. If you're at the point where you have the carbs off, it's not much more work to remove the valve...
I think it's just a concidence that the fuel leak and valve tap are present. Check the fuel pipe rails and "O" rings there are quite a few. Check the valve...
Ya, I am going to replace the fuel lines and the o-rings ( does anyone know the sizes needed? is their a "kit" with them? ) I did take the valve cover off the...
