I put many miles on a gen 1 (86 700), and bought a brand new Gen 4 (94) back in the day. Loved them both. Recently came across a real good buy...
The fluid isn't really too bad (I've seen worse anyway), but I will flush new fluid through the whole system and check that the pistons aren't...
I had 2 sets of new Vesrah pads left over from the bird, so I'll put them on the front. Have a set of EBC HH on order for the back. Also got a...
Yeah it WAS my bird.. a 97 with all kinds of mods. It was a great bike too, but after owning VFRs and 2 different birds (97 and 03), I'm...
I'm back in the VFR world (again). I've owned a couple 84s, an 86, a 94 (bought it brand new back in the day) and ridden my buddy's 03 pretty...
Well, its not much to look at so far :drunk: But here it is: [IMG] I found it locally through a Facebook classified ad and I picked it up for...
I've got the 86 running and feel good about it, so now the real works starts. I hope a few patient and helpful folks here can help me out a bit...
Yeah thanks! Good to hear it run. Valves were all nicely in spec. Cleaned the carbs (they weren't bad but all the pilots were plugged of...

Yes! I think that sums it up quite well. Dating myself, I graduated in 87, and in the last 5 years my workshop has seen 2 VF750Fs, this 1000R,...
Good question. I do think the VF1000R is borderline collectible. Clean ones go for pretty good money, if you can find one. I got the above...
This was the point of my question. I wasn't sure if the 1000s or the gear drive models were affected, but apparently so.
I completely understand what you are saying. I'm not actually "worried" about it, but was just curious if the VF1000R had the same issues as the...
Thanks for the input, much appreciated!
Hi all, I am just starting a resurrection project on an 86 VF1000R. I'm well aware of the cam oiling issues on the 83/84 750s, but don't know if...
I think the screen is on the petcock tube, not the petcock itself. Mine was flowing slow, and here's what I did: Took the tank off the bike...
Not necessarily, as I plan to upgrade suspension etc. I'd really like to fit up an FI 800 engine too. I haven't put any time into looking at...
Bought this pair of Gen 1's last January in non-running condition. Both were nice and low mile (11K and 8800). Here they were at the last...
Here's another ADV deal: 84 1000F with an 85 1000R motor in it. $600, looks pretty complete but could use some TLC: 1984 Modified Honda...
There is an O-ring behind the petcock and another under the level sensor. That is it. If its just surface rust / varnish, I'd put a new filter...
