New Member - with a newly acquired 86 VF500

Hey stray at where are you
I'm in Delaware near London On.

 

You will have to be lucky.
VF500 petrol tanks in good condition are extremely hard to find.
This time last year I stupidly bashed my tank badly, and I have been looking since then on Ebay. I reckon in one year I have seen about two tanks that were half decent. The rest were dented, rusty, holed basket cases. But still selling for large money.
Good luck!

 

Hello fam! Umm really dont know about this bike until i deep research on it. My grandfather left me his 86 vf500 before he die. So im willing to learn how to bring this to life thats how i got into it lol

Not in California.
Might be a good idea to start a new thread if you are going to ask about your bike.
Your carbs are going to need attention. They are notoriously fickle and need lots of TLC.
This is almost certainly why the bike will not start.
