"Stiff" is not good. You want a compliant suspension, stiff is what you get from the stock valving. I run a 160 Dunlop D204 on the read of one...
The issue apparently is with the reservoir and the rear cylinder head. I haven't seen it for myself yet so I can't tell you any more than that....
Actually, since posting that thread I've found that there are still some issues with the 954 shock on the 6th gens. I thought I had everything...
Man, that's exactly what I thought when I saw this thread too!!!
Once again, another error in the Clymer manual. Do yourself a favor and get a Honda manual. The "84" engines had the smaller journals but none...
What year is your bike?
Actually, I think it was pretty expensive. That's the reason you don't see very many.
Please don't try that. You should be able to notice the problem even if it's not under load - that is, if the ignition is the problem. The...
Yes, that is correct. You are right, it seems counter intuitive. The reason for the different jets is that that one bank uses downdraft...
Not really. Fuel economy on the 500's is pretty good to begin with and I've never heard anyone claim that they can tell any difference when...
It's long been the trick setup to use 84-85 carbs on the 86 engine. The 86's have hotter cams and with the larger 84-85 carbs you can expect a...
I'm running a 4-1 Hindle on one of my VF1000's and you can hold it WFO for as long as you dare and there is never a hint of fuel starvation....
I prefer the term "hoard". You have to do that these days. If parts were that easy to come by we wouldn't have to be out here on the forums...
The resistors are not necessary. Some claim power improvements if you remove them, but I've never noticed much of a difference.
Sorry man, I don't have one. Does anyone know what this thing is really supposed to do anyway? The other VF models (not sure about the C and S...

Whenever ignition problems exist folks always go straight to the coil - but they are almost never the problem. Not so much jumping around, but...
They will run right into the rev limiter, no problem.
Yeah, it's not that bad. You are correct - leave the headpipes attached to the rear head. You can't get those off with the engine in the frame...
Dude, don't get so worked up. Removing the exhaust is SUPER easy. Like I mentioned, it's a 10-15 minute job.
