Generally, I've been keeping it below 10k. I don't think I've run it up to redline even once since I've had it running. Yeah, I've heard about...
The bike runs great! It idles super smooth and doesn't hang when blipping the throttle. Idle speed is a steady 1400 rpm. Low end power is...
Here's a couple more threads on the subject just for kicks...
Beats the hell out of me. I'll email them and ask. Maybe we can get an answer straight from the source.
See posts #12, 15, and 17.
The main jet size difference between the years is due to the direct relationship between the amount of air the larger 32mm carbs can flow on the...
No problem. Here it is: http://www.superhawk996.net/Other/'86 VF500F Factory Pro Sheet.jpg
Nope, but the date on the sheet is 7/23/92. I think they've had time to fix it if there was an error! Hell, it's quite possible they're right on...
Anyone here from the Hampton Roads area?
Well, my bike's 1986 VIN is PC1201GM200503, which makes it a 49 state bike. Disclaimer: There's no telling what previous owners have done to it...
Well, I have no proof this is not a CA bike, but I did have 95f/92r jets in mine. Is there any way to tell from the VIN if it's a CA bike?...
I think you might have it backwards. I discussed the different sized mains in post #12. I adjusted the valves. Most were loose about 2-3...
I moved the 95's from the front to the rear and installed the 98's in the front. I figure with my bike and my conditions I should have no problem...
With slip ons and what appears to be an Uni (? Aluminum endcap, non-oiled foam, with an aluminum mesh backing) filter I think I just might bump...
Thanks for the advice, Jamie. Time to start tearing into it. UPS says the carb boots are "Out for delivery"! Hmmm, should I check the valves...
Bump to the top. Anyone got any experience with this?
The '86 has different part numbers for the carb boots - 16211-MF2-711 vice 16211-MJ8-000. So how does that work out? Are the '86 larger or...
Yeah guys, I get it! - jetting, that is. I've been tuning carbs for over 10 years. I am looking for a good baseline so I don't have to pull the...
Well, there ARE directions with the kit, but they are about as cryptic as all their other kits. Generally speaking, the best setup is found from...
Hey guys, I've got a Factory Pro jet kit for the 86 VF500F and I'm wondering if anyone had recommendations for mixture screw and needle height...
