Thanks for the post. The kicker as noted is that KPMI and R/D Springs, while originally offering kits for the VTR250, have not made kits...
Thank you for the post. Given this, would it be best to replace the valve springs and valves/retainers with KPMI upgrades at the same time - or...
Good deal and good luck. Let us know how you make out.
I agree with purchasing new boots. This will make the install much easier. If I can add, the photo in post 58 is a bit of a concern. I would...
+1 A while back I wrote to Dave Dodge about the option of adding one of his top end oiling kits on my '84 VF500F. Dave D wrote that he does...
Great poster! Thanks for the heads up. A mint '77 MT125R was up on eBay for a few days. Went for a song, IMO,,, Honda : MT125R - eBay (item...

Take your time and when frustrated take a break. Heating the boots is a great idea. Use the leverage of the pry bar and you'll be successful....
Great info for sure - the clearest description of CV Tuning that I've found.
+1 New boots, still available from Honda, will make the installation much easier. On the install: angle the boots, align the throats on the...
Unfortunately I don't have any data on the dimensional differences (taper angle) between the various jet needles. It would be interesting to...
Take your time with this. They will come off but they most likely will need a bit of persuasion by using a small pry bar. To avoid damaging...
How many miles are on this engine? If you are pulling the cam caps the tensioners are only one step further,,, (source '84 FSM) [IMG]
Good deal Falconeer. Hope all goes well with the 'new' wheel. Let us know how you make out.
From the '84 FSM: [IMG] Also,,,be on the lookout for wear (notching) here: [IMG]
Honda was pretty specific pairing the jet needles with the emulsion tubes on the VF500F. I believe that Factory Pro uses the same jet needle...
