+1 there Jim. I got my VF500 as a box of parts for $400. All told with the price of the bike and all the parts I have $1200 into it (tires,...
Best post I read all day right there!
Did we address that back around post 32 or so?
That's a great challenge!
When you say "giving it lots of gas" I assume you mean, "lots of throttle." If you have to twist the throttle wide open to get it to start back...
Well, it doesn't really prove anything other than whether you are running on all 4 cylinders at startup. The most likely cause if it isn't...
The lower idle at startup with the choke fully on is because it isn't running on all 4 cylinders. You can prove this by starting the bike while...
I like Zen's thought process here. Also, the OP sounds to me like a classic overheat and motor ready to seize up: Is the fan coming on? is...
That's what I was going for, a proper compression test would be done hot. But like I said earlier, my preference is to start there rather than...

Actually, from Ramsey MN (I'm from MN and make the drive back and forth more than I'd like)(maybe I said that earlier?) You could go across SD on...
What do we have to do to get an above average day around here? I'm still riding every chance I can but all that sand on the road sure takes a...
Hey now, I didn't say it was. In the few months I've been here, I've never read of anyone having a headgasket problem. I'm just saying, start...
Can't disagree there. I've never owned a 6speed but I often find myself looking for another gear. Both on my Shadow and my VF500. Freeway speed...
someone might have a better answer but in an '80's vintage I would be fine running an all purpose coolant from NAPA. The overflow is under the...
Have these things ever been known to blow a head gasket between cylinders? I always start troubleshooting with a compression test. It's the...
Sorry, it's not an F but I saw it and thought of ya. Love the look of that 4-1 exhaust on the F. edit: and no more 6 speed Honda CB400T [img]
I have to take a line from a prior Badbilly thread and ask; Have you rode the new fuel injected 5sp Triumphs or is this an objection based soley...
Clymer makes it look more complicated than it really is. A good snapring plyer and being able to get the lower bolt broke loose are the keys to...
