Well I rode it about 30 miles yesterday to try and feel more closley at when it would miss, and it barley missed at all...maybe 4 times the whole...
Two beer job...I like you. Thanks for the tip, it's encouraging. I'll have a look at it tomorow.
One of you experienced and wise people must have something for me...is it the age thing? should this have been posted in the vintage area?
It may be worth noting that the clutch slave cylinder gradually leaks fluid. I have to fill the master every 80 to 100 miles. I dont imagine the...
The bike is an 86 with approx 22,700 miles. Beginning this weekend the gear shifts began, inconsistently, "missing" their mark... It will...
I used gorilla glue because its what I have on hand. If they loosen I may go get Loctite. ^^That's a good point Randy. It probably will punch a...

Looking closley at those diagrams it seems that the bolt patterns on the slave cylinders are different before 86. the 86 700 looks the same as the...
Are you sure thats motor oil? Its probably leaking brake fluid from the clutch slave cylinder. That would be my first guess anyway.
My bike is an 86 vf500f. The slave leaks so much that I carry brake fluid everywhere I go so I can add some when it gets low. I replaced the seals...
Good luck with that thing. Tear it apart and make mistakes now so you wont on a nicer bike later. I have an 86 that refuses to stop leaking...
Hahahaha! and here I was thinking that something had been rubbing against it causing damage. Thanks for a solid answer!
Curious if anyone can tell me what this is? It's sharp to the touch. Looks weird. Should I worry about it? [ATTACH][ATTACH]
So I replaced my clutch plates and springs today. Refilled the oil and went to buy gas. I put half a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank and...
