Nah, don't do that just yet. I'd make sure you don't have a fouled plug. Rev that sucker up a few times and take it out for a ol' fashion...
Interesting, I've never heard of anyone actually trying this before. That would explain why you can power through the limiter sometimes, you...
Agreed, the VF500F is a great and as dependable as anything else. Since it's got some years under it's belt you'll need to pay particular...
Yes, the SC16E denotes that it's a VF1000R engine. There are also other external ways to tell but these can be subtle to the untrained eye....
One is larger than the other because it has the circuits to drive the tach. While others have suggested that only one does the rev limit, I...
Great find!!!
No problem, if you need anything else just let me know.
The inside spacing is 250mm almost exactly. I hope this helps!
Never. Not even between first and second aka the real neutral.
You still need the clutch for downshifts and taking off from a dead stop. "Think about it" as you say.
Not necessarily. Using the clutch takes your drivetrain from loaded to unloaded to loaded again. Clutchless keeps the loads more stready. I've...
I never use the clutch except for taking off from a complete stop. I've found that the gearboxes in motorcycle shift better without the clutch....
I wish that I was a good enough salesman to convince people that a crash and repainted bike is a "rare factory color". But alas, I don't think...
Thanks for posting this. I should have been more specific: a 60 or 70 series tire will both work. It seems like I've seen more 150/70's...
Attached are the pages from the TSB I was referring to.
Actually, this is a very common situation with the VF500's and it's not electrical: it's the carbs. In fact, there was a TSB put out by Honda...
I think you were probably joking, but in fact it doesn't take away from any of the fun. The 500 doesn't produce any more power (read: it's still...
Just to clarify - you need to use the VF500F sprocket carrier on the F2 wheel, not the F2 part. The only F2 parts needed are the wheel itself and...
Don't get so upset, you can find used carbs fairly cheap and easy. I think right about now is a good time for a reality check. This is 20+...
Don't bother, you won't notice a difference except higher revs. In fact, I've found going the other way actually is better. It sounds counter...
Separate names with a comma.
