This will be good news for some of us here - and I'm sure for a large segment of enthusiasts elsewhere.

I was contacted by a decal maker/company in Canada and asked to furnish specifications for the decals for the '86 & '87 VFR700F Interceptor.

He wants to add this model to his existing catalog.

We are starting with the Pearl Crescent White model and then will do the Blue version afterwards.

I've already conducted business with this company as well as collaborated with...

Getting juice to the starter and starter has tested good via bench test.

Starter relay tested good and is working.

Starter just not engaging. Whirling sound but nothing else.

Battery is a few months old Motobatt and is charged.

Reading the manuals - troubleshooting says it might be the starter motor clutch.

It's located right next to the clutch on the right side of the bike.

I have never worked on this part - but there is a section in the...

(The front wheel is a bolt on if you have 1000R rotors)

I noticed that the rear spacing for the stock 1000R rear rotor seemed the same as a 87-90 CBR600F Hurricane. Indeed, the three 600 holes line up with 3 of the 1000R mounts. That one happens to be a NSR250 rotor. You can also use some CBR250, VT250, and VFR400 rotors, depending...

Myself? I love movie soundtracks for background music. Most of the Clint Eastwood movies are exceptional and also any by John Williams (Jurassic Park) - and there are many more.



But I mostly listen to classic rock. Rush, Doobies, Steeley Dan, Santana, The Who, Led...

By flashlight, she doesn't look too bad.

Some fairing work needed. Starts, runs, and everything works. Came with 2 keys and a clean title.

No dents in the fuel tank!

Came with seat cowl and infill panels....in correct color!

More tomorrow after I give her a bath and see what I have under the seat.

I'm excited!

I am the original owner. It still runs great and looks beautiful. I have always ridden fair weather, and always kept it waxed, in a garage and under a cover. It has never been in an accident or laid down. I have changed the turn signals and windshield but still have the originals. It has its center stand as well as a side stand. It had a major service at 53947 mi.

Go get it @RogueRC24 !

I'm not as experienced as many here but thought it'd be helpful to start a dedicated thread on the subject.

I've tried electrolysis, vinegar, and Evaporust and so far I like the Evaporust method the most.

I just treated a used tank from a RC24 with Evaporust and it took the least amount of effort of all methods I've tried.

I bit the bullet and purchased a 5 gallon...
