Slip-ons are one way to go but these tend to rob power . Even with proper re-jetting you are likely to only get back to the stock HP rating....
Thank you for the post. As a first step they have asked for a tally of owners who may be interested. I agree the price point is important -...
+1 on the Morgan Carbtune. I have one as well. It is a great tool - easy to use and nicely made.
I'm thinking a 120 tire will rub the front fender but I am not 100% on this – perhaps it depends on the actual width – similar to what we have...
I heard back from Yoshimura this afternoon. They are considering re-issuing their 4-2 system for the VF500F! I don't know if I can chalk this...
I think you will need to modify the front fender using a 120 up front - right? I believe a 120 size tire will rub the stock fender. Are you...
Good deal. I'm looking forward to hearing how these work out. What size did you select for the front wheel?
Thank you for the post. I did notice the mounting points - I was wondering what this was about, thanks for clarifying. Look forward to seeing...
A few photos of a Hindle 4-1 installed on an '85 VF500F (researched from the web) *Additional note - this header was not installed correctly....
Thank you for the post. If you have a digital camera, a few photos: an overall side elevation, detail at the oil pan/chin cowling and details...
I read through your thread on the oil pan. The gremlin, that you have been wrestling with, seems to have taken up residence way back in July of...
Ahh, okay - yes the pans/pumps are indeed different btwn the '84/'85 and '86:...
What exhaust system are you running - did you need to switch to the shallower '84/'85 pan and smaller oil pump because of an exhaust pipe...
More intel on the Yoshimura 4-2 (mounted on an '85 VF500F) [IMG] [IMG] Thanks to BillSF9c from the Yahoo VF500F Owners Group. From the photos...
None taken. I would agree that Slow, if he does decide to sell his bike - and after wrestling with his conscience over how to list the bike -...
Et tu, Brute?
+1 on using the right tool, though IMO, I would say order up and go for the OEM tool, these run about $40.
I believe the Profi would be a better check as the laser is running all the way to the front sprocket. I've read very good reviews on the Profi...
Here's a photo of the OEM tool (part number 07908-KE70000) for reference: [IMG] I'm curious to know how your homemade carburetor sync tool...
Hmm, this is an interesting way to check :) but I'm not convinced of its accuracy... Not sure if you want to invest in a new tool, always fun to...
