    1986 VF1000R .. more than just cosmetic upgrade

    Hi Guys,

    There was a considerable upgrade to the 1986 V4 Engine in the F-Model VF1000R.

    1. Baffled Oil Sump

    2. Oil Cooler Fitted

    3. Dual Oil Pumps fitted (single pump previously)

    4. Cam support recess was "line bored" (cast and slightly machined previously)

    5. 4 Bolt cam retaining caps fitted (3 bolt previously)

    6. Longer camshaft ends, to allow 4 bolt cam retaining caps

    Obviously the F + G Models are the choice for new buyers.

    Warren

    Does anybody know what the production numbers were for the US for the 1985 and 1986 models? It's my understanding that it was less than 2000 per year. Does anyone know the specific numbers?
