The '86 engine is a good buy. There are small but significant differences in that motor that address some of the oiling issues in the first two...
I know this thread is about pulling up next to someone at a stop but, just last weekend, I caught up to a rider on an ST1300 on one of my favorite...
Is the cooling fan coming on above 221 degrees?
I think yellow wheels = too much yellow. I like the black accents.
Yes, where you are in the US will make a difference. We know VFRs are pretty bullet proof but that's getting into the high bike mileage range. The...
I think it looks fantastic in its yellow livery. It looks like someone took the time to design the graphic just right.
Here is my Beauty [ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]
Check the tires. That was my impression as well, running on 25psi. It is a heavy bike but it should steer better than you describe.
The only problem I have is what to do with the stock seat? They take up a lot of room on the shelf and I have all kinds of take off parts from...
'00 was a very good year. Welcome. The v-four's siren's song got me too.
I could be wrong and I have never been deep into a Vf500F before but having worked with other Honda models I can say they bearings are just...
My buddy Jerry and I used to race his Morini 500 at Texas World back in the 90s. Those were the days.
I want to jump into this and say that I really want one. I have tried all my life to be a smooth rider but I find, more often than not that I am...
Mine was the same give or take a degree. I would think that 238 was excessive heat. Did you get that temp sitting or were you underway?
I went riding with a group of cruiser/Harley riders today and kept having trouble not hitting the rider in front of me that was parked in the...
I am afraid that I am like a little kid when it comes to bikes and other riders. If you are riding I want to know you, say "hi", drool over your...
The engine must be clean to find an oil leak. Remember that "down" is where the oil ends up and not where it is coming from. A little oil makes...
On my VF500 I disable the petcock vacuum function so that it operated like a normal mechanical valve. You can also use a tool, made for bleeding...
It is the luck of the draw. I had a buyer once destroy a bike I worked hard to restore. He just wrecked it beyond repair right after I sold it. I...
If I remember my VF500F it had a vacuum petcock. I would bet that the petcock is not allowing fuel to flow with no engine vacuum on it and that...
