Thanks Mike. So it looks like either a 4-2 (w/ a 1|3,2|4 pairing & staggered mufflers) or a 4-1 system is the way to go here. Delving into...
5x5. This is based on the 1-4-3-2 firing order?

Thanks for the post. On this note if going 4 into 2 is it better to run the headers a from 1/2 and 3/4 like this system from Vance and Hines? [IMG]
Great intel, thanks 80s! What exhaust system do you have on your race bike and are the mufflers in slightly different positions?
Dropped valves are not caused by the valves themselves rather it's the valve springs that are the culprit here, at least from what I've read. If...
Capt80s could you go into a bit more detail on why a 1/3 & 2/4 relationship (rear, front) is the best way to run the headers? If I could ask,...
That would be very helpful, thank you! I'll send a PM.

Would you happen to have the stock '84/'85 and the stock '86 exhaust systems on your spare parts shelf? I'd be curious to know if the...

Thanks creaky. If I could ask a favor, could you please post the parts fiche drawing that shows the bolts?
Would any '86 VF500F owners happen to know the specs for the oil pan bolts? I was looking through the parts fiche but I (surprisingly) did not...
Well noted, thanks for the post.
Geez,,,this is starting to sound a bit like my Atari Heavy Sixer,,,though I did find someone to rebuild it,,,so maybe there is hope.
A bit more intel - from DD - The 1984/85 rods were soft... only 14.5 c-scale for hardness. In 1986 the 500F, VFR 750, and 1000 had stronger rods...
Additional note to the above post - a link to an article by Clifton Koch on diagnosing and repair of V4 ignitors: [IMG]...
Great info sidecar. On this note, do you know what type of life span the Honda VF series CDI boxes have? Can these be modified and/or rebuilt? Thx!
I've posted a link to the web article for reference. The author is Dave Dodge. Explanation of top end oiling problem On a side note DD does...
[IMG] Thanks Stewart! It is very helpful to see this kit from Mark Douglas. It looks like he made a quality product. Glad to hear that...
