My previous employer made fuel transfer pumps and it was common knowledge that US fuels are 15% (E15). I never saw anything 'official' on this,...
The size of the wheel itself makes the most difference. The fact that you are switching to a modern, radial tire doesn't hurt either!
Shouldn't you add the words "feels like" in there? My 1000's feel like they have more motor than my VTR. It's actually pretty close from a...
Negative Ghostrider, pattern is full. That's a 500 tank, but a VF500 (geez). The clues are 1) the gas cap 2) the steep cutout near the...
Man, that sounds just like high school again! I remember back when I was in school, there was a car that everyone considered "the fastest car in...
Cutting the spring down would be VERY difficult. It's not like forks where you can be ±3-4mm, you would only be cutting off about 4mm. That...
Nope, the 86's were VFR's and totally redesigned.
ATF is approximately 7.5w.
I don't know, I've ridden them and all that I can say is: 600 - a DOG 1000 - somewhat less of a dog I'd think the 07 VFR would beat it unless...
I don't know why Honda exploded out the shock assy on those bikes like they did but it's really misleading. You can't replace the lower clevis...
The tie strap method is pretty overkill I think. In fact, I think you could easily damage the carbs that way. Using the method I show on my site...
Yes, a 120/70 has almost the exact OD as the stock VF tire. This is nice because fender clearance is not an issue and also the speedometer...
Are you using the same process that I show on my site? If you do it that way it's pretty much a cake walk. Ok maybe not that easy, but it's...
It's possible that the PO used Leak Proof brand seals. That's the worst name because they start leaking after less than a year (in most cases)....
I've had this happen with several of my VF's and it's always been the carbs. The fix is to fully rebuild the carbs and then get them adjusted...
Nope, it doesn't matter where they go. Your hot start issue is most likely with the carbs but it could also possibly be the pulse generator(s)....
Those can be tough to come by, there are a lot of people out there looking for VF1000 engines! Engines on eBay are about $100 and shipping...
Yes, carbs are a likely culprit. Maybe it's the vent in the cap... probably a long shot on that one.
The VF1000F engines will fit just fine. Make sure you get an exhaust too as those are different. The VF750F engine is also a direct swap....
Don't forget that slip-ons cause a loss of power! I've done quite a bit with the 500's. Check out my site for details and feel free to shoot...
