Selling your 1000R, I see, stewartj239? And the 86 750 as well? Looks like you're clearing our the stable a bit. Got your eye on something else...
Well, here's the quickly-done PS photo. I'm liking it. I'd swap the V-FOUR logo for the HONDA one probably. "][IMG]
Can you do me a quick favor? Can you measure the length and height of the OEM "HONDA" logo that's on the lower fairing? I've got a RWB 1985 VF500F...
Those of you that have done this: did it run quieter after you put a few miles on it? Mine is still a little loud, but I'm sure the valves are...
Pulled out the water pump just now, swapped the o-rings (2) and the one on the water pipe, though I didn't need to and I didn't need to remove it...
Got around to doing the carb synch today (as well as a water pump o-ring swap) and...it helped a little, but I still hear some ticking....
I can take whatever fotos you need later this week. Let me know.
I like the advice, AND the tool you show in the foto. Home-made? I like the gauges better than trying to equalize tubes of mercury-like substance...
Well, if it keeps me from having to try this again, I'll give the synch a try and report back. Can't hurt.
Huh? I didn't pull off/touch/breathe on the carbs at all. Could they still be out of synch that badly? I will say that it was harder to start/run...
Got it all "done" and closed back up, started it and....it sounds like a sewing machine. I think it's coming from the front 2 cylinders, so I'll...
I just now ordered the two o-rings (the bigger one and the smaller 1" one) from the dealer. I know for sure it's coolant from the front of the...
I checked again...looks like it's coolant for sure. And the weep hole still hasn't dripped, but I do have a drip/puddle from the bottom of the...
I've noticed a little 2"-3" puddle of oil right near the kickstand after parking the VF500F lately. Figured since it was oil-like it might be...
Tore the bike down today, and it seems like I may have found the source of the gas smell. Took off the tank, flipped it over, and the insulation...
Looks like you have the same bike. Did it ever stop smelling of gas, or do you do this currently/all the time? You have a non-CA version, I'm...
Ahhhh...I have seen that small hole inside the filler cap and wondered where it ran to. OK. So my possible options is that one of those hoses has...
Oh...anyone know the VIN series for CA? Maybe it's in the OEM manual....let me check...
Damn. I JUST had the tank off last week installing the new fuel indicator inside the tank. So...one line goes to the bottom of the bike (or a...
On a non-CA bike? Not sure what this is...any idea how to drain/fix it and where it is/what it looks like? Is this a common thing? never had it...
