I didn't take anymore photos. My bike looks identical to what it did before. Well identical except for the small 748cc casting on the front...
Thanks for starting this thread as I just made this conversion last week. Both my bike (VFR700F) and the new engine (VFR750F) came from 86's. It...
Your steering bearings and wheel are ruined. "Tracking divot" lol. Are your fork tubes straight? I usually use a socket that is just a little...
My wife and I ride some of the secondary twistys in NEMo. We are about 4 hours from STL and KC. We also do some dirt riding at our farm. Would be...
I'm 60 this year. My wife rides a VTR250
What is your engine compression? A good test on an engine with 60k.
When I realized that some riders actually have music on their motorcycles in another thread I did a search and found this thread. I guess there...
Grey, I am hoping that I am insensitive to the part of the 501 that you didn't like. My VFR came with Duro tire on the front so I think the Dunlap...
I made a power supply for my Fortrex GPS for my car. I used a LM317 based circuit, the cost was 3 dollars. My Fortrex runs on 2AA cells only, so I...
I always bleed the old fashioned way as I have never heard of a mityvac. Squeeze lever, open bleed screw, close bleed screw, let off lever. Repeat...

I just went through engine changing myself on my 86 700 last weekend, guess I was busy and didn't see your post then. When you put it back...
I would say that you don't have a problem with the cooling system if it holds coolant in the overflow tank and it isn't going into the red....
I got one for my Yamaha 5oo single. There wasn't a specific model so I just bought one off of ebay for 75 dollars. It was made for some kind of...
I remember riding to mid ohio with some friends 15 years ago. Every time my friend on the ducati took off you could hear a fairly ominous popping...
I agree with others, if you haven't flushed your coolant it would be a good time to do it. Make sure that the new coolant you use does not have...
I took it out on the blacktop tonight. Nice, makes me feel much better about the bike. A good way to start my 36th year of motorcycling and my...
I have had my 86 vfr700 for the past 6 weeks. I bought it cheap and put some effort into making it look and run better. I redid the bodywork, fork...
An interesting documentary. I liked the line that mentioned that Joey was "on the dole" (on welfare) and had the resources to race motorcycles.
What a waste. Carrying might give you a chance at survival but location is the key to staying out of trouble. Living or visiting a large city...
