I didn't mean to suggest otherwise in my post above. I meant that if a VF500F owner decided to push the envelope on the engine's design I would...
LOL Not so, Tink. You know I have a lot of respect for what you have accomplished on your project bikes. My perspective on bike building...
Hi Tink, I guess the question is more - if someone wants to modify an VF engine and has realistic expectations why be a killjoy? Wrenching...
Thank you for the 411 willi777.
No doubt for some owners this is true. It really depends on what one's goals are and what you would like to get out of a project bike. VF...

Well,,,I may have been thinking this but I'd never admit to it. ;-)
By 'starter' switch you mean the engine stop switch correct?
Welcome aboard! Please consider posting. I would be very interested to see what you are up to with your VF500F and kR project bikes. No...
Good deal. Glad you were able to extract the bolt.
Here is where you have to look: [IMG]
To confirm - the starter motor will engage but the bike will not start, correct? (this per post #89) If this is the case the offending gremlin...
Long and short of it...Yes. You will need to sychronize the carburetors after setting the lash. I would recommend checking out the Morgan...
