Any opinions on the pros and cons of switching from the stock hydraulic clutch to a mechanical clutch on the VF500F? Thx!
Sounds like a good upgrade switching to the larger bore on the '85 set. Not sure about setting up the rear jets smaller than the front jets...

rock on brother!
My mistake, I did not realize that they are still available from Honda.
If you can, I would hold out for a set on eBay. NOS sets are listed from time to time. If you are in a pinch it looks like CMS Spares stocks...
Thank you for the post. Always nice to hear from a factory tech who has experience in First Generation V-Fours. One thing to consider with the...
I would also like to add that the VF500F is the bee's knees.* I have spoken to several factory trained Honda mechanics who went to seminars on...
Thank you for the post. As noted, I was probably being a bit overly academic on the numbers - still, I would still suggest a 100/90-16F over a...

Slowbird, here are some of the numbers. You mentioned that your new 'F2 shock is longer than stock, so this will be a help (we need the actual...
I think you might have a few more options - I checked on Pirelli's web site: PIRELLIMoto - SPORT DEMON
The proof is in the pudding! Thanks for posting this - it always good to have real time comments from owners who have this conversion installed....
Well noted! Thank you for the post. I hope I didn't muddle things up here - my thinking is more along the lines that Slowbird might opt for...
Hi Slowbird, I think Jamie D. may also have a computer file that crunches the numbers but I am happy to help with this. I would like to take...
From what I've read I think most owners are very happy with the F2 wheel conversion, offered by DMr. This said, and this may be open for debate...
Good to hear the CBR600F2 shock adds some rear ride height - this should help to get the bike's geometry back in line. If I could ask, did you...
Cool beans. I'm a fan of the centerstand too - though I almost regret saying this in public ;-) Is the CBR600F2 shock conversion longer than the...
