I took the jets out while the carbs were out and while I was looking at them I noticed that the tops were labeled "6BE"...I cannot find any info relating to...
When I was reinstalling my tank, I took the time to clean out the petcock all debris ( figured carbs are now clean, why chance getting them dirty ) I have a...
Since the best way to solve a problem is to suppress it (that's one of my mottos ! ;o)) I would recommend to part with the vacuum-operated system. Some...
Ya, I would get rid of the vacuum system except that off is not off for me. In the "off" position fuel flows out at about 1/3 speed ( correction from earlier...
This is really common. Go to my site and click on the "How To" link at the left. Then choose "VF500F Tank Valve Modification". This will show you how to fix...
I am just worried that the whole petcock is bad.... When it is out, and the valve in the "off" position, and you put water down the bronze tube is thw water...
i am doihg the valve adjustment but i found i am missing one of the adjusting screws and bolt, on one of the rocker arms. I am not able to see it in the head....
If it doesn`t turn up when magnetically fishing in the valley between the cams/valves(don`t ask), drop the oil pan...if you are to be lucky it is there. ... ...
You *should* find those parts back ! As Thomas said, even at the price of dropping the oil pan, which probably implies dropping - at least - the front exhaust...
For what it's worth, I was recently (last 3 months or so) able to get several sets of both the adjuster bolt and the lock nut from my local Honda dealer, so...
I've got a couple extras lying about, can mail you one if needed. But you *REALLY* want to find the missing part(s). If it's rattling around in there...
It's probably caught in the oil pump pickup screen. Pull the pan and dig in there and I think you'll find it. Possibly you'll find pieces of it, depending on...
And while you are at it, it could be a good idea to replace the drain plug with one with a magnet in it. If you find some debris in the oil pan, some others...
Thanks for everyone's help w/ my fork seal repair. Now, does anyone have a centerstand assembly for an '85 VF500F that they would part with? Thanks, -Greg-...
Yep! $10 + actual shipping. If ya want it, send me a note with address and I'll get it ready to go. Do you have the attaching hardware?? Pat O ... From:...
No..all I have is the holes on the bottom of the bike where it once was. Let me know what the total is and how to send the $$. -GSE- ... go. ... does anyone ...
I have search around and have not been able to find the answer. How can I test the rear shock? I am down to the last few details before I get the bike on the...
Speaking of center stand, does anybody have any good pictures of how one attaches. I have one, but have never had it on the bike. Best Regards, Jeff Schieck ...
Don't have a pic, but I do have this lil snippet.... Pat O ... From: Jeff Schieck <jschieck@...> To: VF500F@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, December 10,...
Testing dampers and springs beyond visible damage and leakage is not easy off the vehicle. The best way is to ride the bike and see how well it performs. The...
I've got a jig incorporated into a hydraulic press that I use. If the shock is on the bike then it's as easy as pushing down on the seat. The rear suspension...
THANK YOU FOR SENDING ME THE RETAINER NUT AND TAPPET. IF YOU DONT KNOW, SOMETHING SO LITTLE CAN MEAN SO MUCH. MY PROJECT WAS AT A STAND STILL UNTILL THE MAIL...
Well I picked up another pretcock off ebay only to have the same issue that Ihave with my original one. So I decided that i was going to drill out the rivits...
Hi Robert, Good job ! I had thought about a defective internal gasket, but I could not check anything since my VF is no more here (I'm preparing to move), and...
Ya having screws in place of the rivits seems to be a better option. I know that the gasket ( flipped around ) will fail agian one day. But at least now I can...
