Adjusted valves on 1 and 3 to .006 and checked for loose chain. Seems fine. Pitting is on short side of lobe on #1 mostly and none noticed on long...
Not expecting miracles but might as well go through the list of "maybe" stuff before I coffin the brave machine. Will adjust to .006 as per Honda...
Answered an add 2 weeks ago regarding a non-running 84 vfr750 (i get these models mixed up...it is an 854 Interceptor). Bike had been running...
Back to idle for a moment, I am trying to set mixtures on my 86 500 with a tachometer and regardless of which plug I set it on, the tach jumps...
Petcock has been fixed!!! Drilled out rivets, tapped m6 and used 2 m6 bolts (had to file one head down so the bolt holding petcock to tank would...
Sadly, no. This is for the removable section of the petcock. The x ring is under the riveted section. I have never sen kits with that proper x...
So, I have an 86 which may have a tank from an 85 (it was painted black), or a tank from an 86 with a petcock from? as it has been modded to omit...

Sanded off all of the overspray from my gastank (previous owner liked to spray-bomb stuff it seems). Once together, I noticed a small amount of...
Off chance but have a look at your fuel pump as well. It may be on its last legs and overheating which you are mistaking as a fuel-flow issue with...

Replaced the suspicious clutch slave (86 vfr500) with a "new" used stock unit I picked up at Toronto Cycle (soon to be moved or changing...
I will measure mine as well and try cleaning it out in case there is a coating of dry stuff in there (no rust that I can see). I am curious if the...
34xxxkm/22xxxm or close. I will look up the bore measurement. Anyone know if a slave from another VFR will fit this bike? The slave kits are a bit...
Yep, they are tapered with a fold and the wide side (looks like a skirt) goes on the inside so the oil pushes against the inner groove to swell...
More mysteries to solve: Tried and tried to bleed with a new kit (k%l) but it seems as if the seal is too small as I can hear air working its way...
Short history: Bought an 85 vf500. After cleaning carbs, went for short run. Seemed fine. Had good tires on ugly spray bombed rims swapped to...
Many, many useful tips on the forum but I'm still stumped on my clutch slave. I have only had the bike for a month or so, only one ride and it...
Hope I am posting in the right spot and sorry in advance if I am not. Here's my question: Bought an 85 with lovely spray bomber red wheels. I...
