There were a few steps in my epic learning process that I did not include. At first I didn't understand that a dirty carb could prevent a...
Invisible, since I've been on this forum it seems to me you have been very active in preserving you 500's life expectancy. I was just wondering if...
This thread is extremely interesting. Honda engineers would be proud to see consumers mulling over data and specifications of a 25 year old machine.
I just saw another one of his video's, and its taken at the house I bought the bike at, crazy.
Hey all, A lot of members that I haven't met yet, mainly because I stick to the 1st gen area. Anyways, I bought a 1999 ZX9R a few weeks ago and...
Hey invisible, I think I'm going to tear it all down and rebuild it onto a frame I have a title for. I currently have a frame with title...
Me too. Well done.
To add, the D&D exhaust is too loud for my tastes. I honestly think the engine would be quieter without an exhaust system on it at all, but the...
Update w/ Video Bike starts, runs, and drives fantastic. It's a really great bike and a lot of fun to be on. Here's some images and video of the...

VF500Jeff, all you need to know about squirrelman is that he has it in for all 500 owners. While you should pre fill the oil can, not doing so...
"915B 250CC P-P Mercury Gear Grinders James Manning 135.797 134.029 226" Holy hell. Unless there a year restriction on your class, this is not...
Also, can you send me the requirements for the class you are entering? I could not find it, and this top speed idea really interests me.
I have an 84/85 vf500ff (who even knows what the extra f means?). If you weigh under 140, remove a lot of weight from the 500 (totally doable, but...
Yep, and don't take the carbs off the airbox plate if you don't have to.
I kept having this issue and could never trace it down exactly. I rebuilt the carbs and checked the valve clearances over this identical issue:...
I need to do the exact same thing to my 84/85 500, and if we weren't on opposite sides of the country I'd love to help.
