Thank you for the post. This makes sense. I will look into the design of the '86 fuel delivery system a bit more (any '86 owners please feel...
What has me a bit puzzled is creaky's post - with an auxiliary tank (gravity) there was a rough idle, with the stock delivery fuel system (fuel...
It is not that the float level is 'changing' rather when the fuel pump is removed the fuel is not 'as equally' distributed across all four...
Slow, I totally understand this and I am glad that the sale of your VF500F worked out and that you are enjoying your VFR750. This said, I think...
Affordable,,,well that is a bit of a different story and why I can understand the recommendations to make a jump to a more modern bike - but - you...
Always nice to read a post like this in the First Gen Forum!
Respectfully you can fix 'em. I do think Tink's point that many owners are not up to this challenge and would be better served by purchasing a...
Yes, this is what I am thinking. What leads me to believe that the fuel level in the float bowls needs to be set a bit higher is that a creaky...
Hi All, Has anyone reworked the float heights after removing the fuel pump on the '84/'85 VF500F? My hunch is that while the fuel pump is...
Okay, thanks.
Good deal. If I could ask, what dimension did you set the float heights to? Thx!
Fair enough!
Tink, IMO, you have been way too down on VF500Fs lately. The crux of the matter is that VF500F engines can be rebuilt and the mechanical issues...
A thought on this - while the '84 and '85 model years do not need the fuel pump and can rely on a gravity fed system, without having fuel...
40k is a tough go on 500 if it hasn't been carefully maintained. Really with any used bike you need to do your due diligence. 30k on a VFR...
Great news! Congrats. Nice to see one back on the road.
Detour again...do you have a few more detail photos? These are scaled nicely for the 500. A side note to this detour, I have a set of NOS...
Slight detour...If I could ask, what exhaust do you have mounted?
Bummer. If I could ask how many miles were on the engine? Purchasing a used engine is tricky to say the least as these engines often suffer from...
Good deal on taking the time to inspect the valve train and to reset the valve lash. As you have probably read, the two feeler gauge method is...
