Can't help. If you find out let us all know.
No idea. I have often wondered how they got the finish on the OE exhaust end cans. It is very thin and very black and glossy. Impressive. If you...
Not sure what you mean "I have touched it to the ground so the bike will start"?? My VF500 doesn't do this. Starter will turn the engine if the...
The thread that refused to die..
I now have these Ebay carbs. They are 32mm diameter. They are brand new! The float bowl O rings are a bit flattened from age but you can't expect...
Zombie thread alert. I just bought that set of carbs in the Ebay advert. Not received them yet. I just hope they are 32mm and not 30mm. I am...
There aint any decent ones any more I am afraid. Manufacture of the bike finished in 1986 so the aftermarket exhaust companies stopped making...
As you sit on the bike the one with the relief goes on the right side. I spotted this when I was taking them off once and made sure I labelled...
Sometimes the starter button can corrode so maybe open up the right hand side throttle switchgear block and clean up the contacts. The starter...
The battery might still be defective even if new. Try to jump something else with the battery just to make sure it can provide enough current...
Now you need a VF1000F, and the one that started it all, the VF750F. I'll let you off the VF750S..
Just my opinion but get rid of that horrible fairing covering the engine. Get it back to stock and show off that lovely V4 motor.
Yes, you are probably OK if you keep it below 350-400degC. If it's glowing you're in trouble!
There's a youtube film of some US survivalist type guy pumping diesel through a seized bike engine. It takes a while but it works. However even if...
I don't recommend heating it up to get it back into shape. It will be a work hardened steel tube and if you get it too hot you could soften it.
The way that was recommended to me was to run your car exhaust through it for a few minutes. This will get it hot and evaporate any fuel water...
OK, I found the thread where we discussed a thermostat allowing a bike to run cooler. It might be relevant to your problem....
As pointed out above, these bikes do run hot. If that photo is of the bike just sitting and idling but the fan is turning on and off I doubt you...
This was a zombie thread resurrected btw.
Well done. Good idea to buy the right tool. It is a very fiddly job so anything that makes it easer is a good thing.
