Welcome! First step, sell the Clymer and purchase a used copy of the FSM. I would recommend eBay as a source for finding these. A clean copy...
Sounds like a great project. Looking forward to seeing the progress. Please keep us posted.
Thanks for the shout out vfourbear. I'm a fan of your literary work here.
5x5, have the same info here. [IMG]
Thanks for the feedback. I originally got the idea for this mod looking at vintage 400/4 racing photos, from back in the day. I think the team...
- bump - Would anyone out there happen to have the stock cam lift specifications for the '84/'85 compared to the '86?
Here is a link to a previous thread that I had started when I was gathering info on this subject:...
I may be missing something here. I double checked another copy of the FSM (one that covers all years) and this clearly shows a milder cam for the...
I recently completed a modified sprocket cover for my '84 VF500F. The modified cover is part of a continuing series of projects (some large &...
David Silver Spares is top notch. Glad everything worked out.

A great suggestion. Will all years of the CBR600RR work? Thx.
I went to a gravity fed system. Removing the fuel pump and going to a gravity fed system has a track record of working fine on the '84/'85 VF500F.
If I could suggest, try cross-referencing the part numbers (i.e. the valves and cams, etc.). This should give you a clearer picture of the...
I have read the larger 32mm bore carbs are a bolt and go. New boots (insulators) are required. Gravity flow will be fine. The petcock outlet...
5x5, cb. I was actually told by motorcycle hobbyist that the bolts are a 'one-use' item, so I took this to be true. Lesson learned. When in...
I removed the stock fuel pump, filter, and all the plumbing a little while back. The photo I posted above was taken as a record of the stock...
As Creaky noted, the stock fuel pump and relay are long gone. Not to worry, the '84 and '85 500s have a track record of running fine without the...
Separate names with a comma.
