I have read that the '86 was a 'de-tuned' version (no offense to '86 owners) of the VF500F with a milder cam profile, smaller carburetors (i.e....
Well...not a bust but also not a payday. The deeper oil pan & higher volume oil pump is a bolt on affair - but - this also requires using the '86...
5x5 - it only costs a nickel to look into the options available.
After a bit of research - and with the light bulb moment realizing that the VTR250 shares the same OEM part numbers as the VF500F - I contacted...
Any chance for a scan & post of the article? Thx!
The inner and outer valve springs - as noted - are NLA. There is a company that has a valve kit for the VTR250 (same part numbers are the...
This good news indeed! My compliments on staying with this project I think you have definitely earned your VF500F Merit Badge with this...
c'est le pied!
Glad the files are of help. It is a good idea to bleed (replace) the hydraulic fluid in both the clutch and the brake lines. It is best to know...
I happened to have these handy - I had sent these files to Dyna when I was researching their coil upgrade kit. Hope this is of some help. [IMG]...
Could you please describe how you went about making the custom coil mounts - were these modified from something supplied in the Accel kit? Thx!
Hello, thank you for the post. Unfortunately there isn't enough interest in the re-issue (I was hoping to have 20 owners on board and the list is...
Great find! Congrats on locating this bike - with 5,300 on the clock the cams, rockers and valve springs should be in good shape. FYI, Dmr's...
5x5 While I've had excellent results with Dyna's on a 400/4, I appreciate the feedback that Accel's 3 Ohm coil may be a better pick for the VF500F.
A bit more intel from the tech at Accel - the plug wires supplied with their Universal 'Super Coil Kit' are 8.8mm graphite RFI suppressive core....
Yes, Jamie noted that he has heard of reliability issues with Dyna. I personally have used them with great results - as have many other owners of...
Yes, it seems most owners go with the CBR600F2 rims. I went with the CBR600F rims (110/70-17F, 140/80-17R).
A bit more intel: Dyna coil spec: DC1-1 (3 Ohm) plug wire spec: DW-200 "The coils should be an easy bolt on. Just transfer the primary wires...
Looking very nice! Not to let the cat out of the bag but with the white rims are you thinking of going with a darker main color for the body?
LOL, yes of course! I do think Hopit88 said it best:
