My guess is he's got a mechanics lean on the title - perfectly legal for him to sell it that way. CMove - Your location and some pictures would...
I'll say this much - when the carbs are really bad (enough to cause poor running) they must be removed in order to clean them properly. There...
Very nice looking project, I'm sure you'll have many enjoyable miles with it!
They DO, however, spend copious amounts of money just to cover their butts. Can you imagine the specturm of riders, environments, etc they have...
Agreed. On bikes of mine that have questionable tanks I run a sintered bronze fuel filter. These aer small and only filter out the big chunks....
Yes, it's getting more and more difficult all the time. What used to take months now takes years. It can be frustrating, as you've found out....
Well, that's just it: it's doesn't need any pressure. In fact, the stock pump doesn't produce but about 1-2psi (at most) to begin with....

It's always nice to make progress, even if it's small. You are still beating me, none of my VF's have been out of winter storage yet. Yes, I...
I couldn't really tell from the shine. Do you wax that mellon or what?
Thanks fellas! Fiakus - Shoot me an e-mail to jamie@daughertymotorsports.com if you want more details. Don't worry, you are in the same boat...
Yes, you can ditch the fuel pump on all of the first generation VF's, even the VF1000R's. All of my VF's have the fuel pump removed and they run...
Yep - Here it is: Daugherty Motorsports - Motorcycle Suspension Performance and Modification Just some carb cleaner should fix that up....
