Hi all, As some of you may remember, my VF500F2 engine is still dismantled, and still on the stand-by. I would have to fit 8 new exhaust valves (mine are...

Sorry Noel! Been kinda consumed with my ST1100 lately, haven't followed this board much. Sounds like you should get the other parts bike. 350Euro is about...
Thanks to Pat and Jon. I'll pick the bike on nest Saturday, then i'll know some more about it and will tell you. A "ready to work" (?) motor would greatly...
Hi Pat, I went to Belgium (and back too !) yesterday, and picked up the "Swiss" 1986 VF500F2 Incomplete : fairing + tank + silencers missing, but with some...
Noel, Glad to hear that the hunt was successful and that you bettered yourself on the price! I think I would pull the valve covers and oil pan and give it a...
Hi Pat, Thanks for the advices. Things are not so easy yet, though. The bike came with a central stand, but it was apart so the bike can only stay "leaned" for...
Hi guys, As you may remember, I was about stuck with my 1984 VF500F2 rebuilding project. Actually, I was wondering if the lot of new parts I would need would...
Noel, As it happens, I'm in the middle of rebuilding a 2nd 86 model with 84 carbs. 1. Re: carb isolators: I've been told to use the 84 isolators (PN ...
Hi Frederic, May I confess that I was not expecting for such a precise answer. Looks like we are facing some similar problems. Happily I have - a priori - no...
Noel, Have you measured the two types of insulators? I had the impression the head spigots were the same diametre. BTW, John Olfield told me he can get the...

Can anyone confirm the following? The 84-85 stock mufflers are a different size than the '86 mufflers? I called a local shop they say they are, but since my...
Hey guys, As you may remember, last month I got from Belgium an incomplete "Swiss" '86 VF500 F2. What I intended - and still do - is to restart the engine in...

1984 vfv500 interceptor, got my diaphragm jet needles mixed up by marking cars incorrectly. Is there anyway to determine which ones go to 1&3 verses 2&4. Not a...
I found #'s on the diaphragm needles, 6BE, on all 4 needles. Not what Honda says is supposed to there, does anyone recognize these as aftermarket needles? 84...
... Hi Mackelby: The book calls for different needles on different cylinders: Here's what is says. On Cylinders #1 & #4 2VF On Cylinders #2 & #3 2VD. In a...
... I found that info in the files section, but that is not how the needles are marked they all have a 6BE on them. The carbs have been into, pilot screw plugs...
You obviously have a set of modified carbs. There were carb kits that came with jets and needles. If all the needles are the same, don't worry about which...
I thought the PCV was connected to the charcoal canister. The PCV comes from the right rear top corner of the engine and hooks to the canister in the rear...
