eI was able to ride the bike twicw to work last week. during these two trips I noticed a few things. First, my idle issues were still not getting better. I can...
So, I have two complete carb sets. The first is the original 1984 carb that came with the bike. Specs are: #102 front main jet #105 rear main jet #38 front...
I'm looking for a lower fairing similar to the VF500F2. Is there anyone that still sells them, has a used one, or is there a fairing from another bike that...
This is probably the only "new" one available: http://www.airtech-streamlining.com/hondaz/VF5001983-86.htm Used to see some once in a while on fleabay, not...
I have a 1984 VF500 project I bought off the internet which had seized one cylinder. I am looking for 4 pistons and ringsets to bore the motor. Is there anyone...
When I was clening the bike yesterday I found out that the rear sprocket was a 45 tooth sprocket, This got me courious and I checked the front sprocket and...
David, Pistons might be an issue (see below), but your biggest hurdle is going to be head gaskets. They are no longer available from Honda. I've found a...
Thanks Jamie, I was lucky enough to buy a Vesrah gasket set a few years ago but the pistons and rings look like they are going to be a problem. Jamie Daugherty...
Don't know if this will help, but I think the VTR-250s of the late 80s were just half of the V-30 motor. Maybe parts available there (though the numbers of...
I just completed a similar project. I found a complete gasket set from SHS Powersports.com. The piston was a problem although I did not try JE. ... From: Jamie...
Has anyone confirmed that the VTR250's used the same parts as the VF500's? I've heard this before but can't say that I've seen proof that it's true. Yes, I'm...
I bought a motion pro 90 degree screw driver and went to my friends house to use his digital carb syncer, I carb synced my bike on friday, straight line across...
The backfire indicates a lean condition if I remember correctly. Having the slipon's and a K&N could cause this issue. Backing out the mixture screws 1/2 turn...
+1 on what Robert is saying.... Take the carbs off as an assembly, NOT one at a time. You'll keep more hair that way! You'll have to pull the assy to put the...
Jamie, I've never confirmed this, but it sure does LOOK like the VF-500 engine cut in half! Seems like Mother Honda used to reuse some stuff from bike to bike...
OK, did some checking.... What little info I could find on the 250 shows a 60.1x44.1 bore/stroke. VF500F shows 60x44. Neither source was shop manuals, so...
well as I remember afterfiring (out the exhaust) is caused by rich mixture while backfiring (out the intake) is caused by lean mixture. I know for a fact that...
Even if you add the dynojet kit, chances are it will require additional tuning. It will probably come with some shims (washers) just for this. You will not...
When re-installing I found it easier to spray WD-40 on my finger and rub the rear 2 boots near the top. This helped with them sliding in. You will also need to...
I have a VF500F2 that unfortunately I do not have time to get working. Its the usual story bought it to repair and have not had time to do it, and now other...
I would LOVE to have this, but I think shipping to the states would be "cost prohibitive".... :-( I would think someone would pick up on it!! Pat O ... From:...
Ok, Here's the deal. Bought both theses bikes on Ebay to fix, lost interest and bought a new bike. Both bikes are in decent shape. The 84 is nicer and was...
I have a 1986 vf500f interceptor for sale. It has 2500 original miles on it. Heres the catch it will be sold for parts as it was wrecked in 1991 and broke the...
Hi all, I recently came across a used pair of yoshimura slip ons for an 85 500f. I was a little surprised when the proprietor said he would want at least...
HI, I dont know if you already purchased the yoshi pipes for your VF500. But I have a set of pipes lying around for the VF500, they are chrome polished and...
Can you say "Supply and Demand"? If they are in NEW condition (or at least close to it) and someone wants them bad enough, then $300 probably isn't a bad...
"P.S. Pat - what's up with all the BS at the tail end of all your posts?" ??? Is there something being appended to my messages?? I'm checking previous...
I decided to wait on the Yoshimura pipes--money is needed elsewhere in the project. Just out curiosity, how does 300 for a pair of slip-ons compare with the...
The Hindle would be the best IMHO if you could find one in good condition. Notice that (new) Hindles still are for sale in Germany (FWIK), but the price is...
