Check out hondavfr.org . You can find all the details you need for the F2 wheels on the VFR700 on that site.
Here is a simple guide for the proper spring rate based on rider weight. Please note that it applies to the 83-85 VF700F and VF750F only, the...
A 140 will probably be ok, but I wouldn't push more than that with the stock wheel. To go bigger you need to change the wheel to something else.
Nope, a fouled plug will be wet. Yours looks more like a tad rich but that's it. One thing that I can tell is that it looks like you are burning...
You should really set the sag correctly at least. I'd suggest targetting 30-35mm front and 35-40mm rear. You probably won't be able to get those...
That's a bummer, I was just through FL last week with a giant van. Missed opportunities, the story of my life.........
Man, that's funny. Pretty much the typical stuff seen on the ol' chatbox.
Just to clarify - the 86's are not supposed to have a filter, they came that way from the factory. They run a gravity feed system and all (that I...
It's an old bike, so you are always going to have something to fiddle with. It's nice to hear that you have it out and are able to ride it!
This is super common with the 500's. As mentioned, it's possible to repair the engine so that's probably going to be your best option....
Agreed, I wouldn't pay that much for them. Even so, it's probably not a bad deal considering how expensive carb parts are.
That depends on your weight of course! Drop me a note with that info and I can suggest the correct rate for you.
The English translation of this is "you need to clean the small filters above the float needles". That's what I've also been suggesting to Matt....
I think you are missing the whole point. Is the VF500 ever going to have a chassis comparable to a modern bike? The answer is probably no. Just...
Something else to consider is flex. You are running a 160 rear tire on the F2 wheel right now. That has more grip than stock and therefore can...
..but that's not offensive or anything.....
Here's my How To on this: http://www.daughertymotorsports.com/howto/tankvalve/tankvalve.html
Different swingarm = yes. 180 rear tire = no. Fitting a 180 rear tire would require major surgery/fabrication to the VF500 frame, so it's a...
I've been modifying the stock fork caps to add preload adjustment for several years now. It's not something that I push (it's not even listed on...
A properly setup suspension will actually have better ride quality than stock. I often get comments from folks who are concerned that their...
