Thank you for the post blitzas. I agree, reconfiguring the float height seems problematic. I am giving some thought to modifying the stock...

Welcome! Sound advice above. I would also add building your library with a copy of the Factory Service Manual and, if interested in a VF...
Thank you for the post. Yes, I believe this is correct - though I don't know the actual spec for the '86. This makes sense as the larger...
Okay, I may have been overly broad in saying 'any thoughts' would be most appreciated.
I kind of agree. Though I haven't heard of other owners experiencing fuel starvation or idle problems when removing the fuel pump on the...

Good deal on the Fox mono-shock and the Race Tech emulators. I have RT emulators on the clipboard as well. Re. the 17” wheel conversions, for...
Thank you for posting the photo. I Like the design of the Spec II fairing - it is a nice complement to the 500. Will you be switching to this...
For the VF500F? Please post a link to the thread.
The 700 is a different animal. This thread is specific to the VF500F and the fuel delivery changes between the '84/'85 and the '86 model years.
