I still say it sounds like clogged carbs! Maybe a good sync would help too.
No. Just because the outside diameter is the same does not mean the length, threads, etc, etc are the same. You need a 1984-86 VF500F part only....
Nope, the fork parts are different. You'll need to get VF500F (not C either) parts only. Pretty much your best bet is going to be finding a...
The brake rotor on the R's is very unique. I investigate making a wave type rotor to fit the R's about two years ago then it got hot again...
That sounds like a simple case of fuel varnished carbs. Pull them off and give them a really good cleaning, especially through the idle passages...
Sure, if you want to pay well over $1000. Penske is one of the few companies that are willing to make more of a 'discontinued' model. Of course,...
Yeah, that's bad news. Figure on $80 per peice for those diaphragms. On the bright side at least you've figured out the problem!
Why would you want one? The VFR's aren't even close to needing a slipper clutch.
Considering that it's WP my guess would be $1000, maybe more! It would be interesting to know for sure though.
That does sound a little steep, however the places you'll find online are charging $300-350. The parts aren't cheap, maybe $100-150. That means...
What about your local dealer? They aren't always the cheapest (though probably cheaper than most places you'll find online) but the convenience...
I doubt the mufflers (or lack there of) are your problem. It sounds like carb issues. What else can tell us about this bike? It's history? Has...
Yes, I agree with all of that except with the stock springs there is one critical feature: all coils bind at the same time. I had to double and...
Here's something most people don't know - the stock springs are progressively wound but are NOT progressive rate springs. What happens in a...
I've not tried it because the wall of the shock body is so thin. I doubt it would work, plus it would be a dangerous experiment!
The stock unit can be serviced, but you need to weld/braze a Schrader valve to the body to recharge it with nitrogen. That's the most difficult part.
I really don't want to be a dick, but there are a couple of mistakes in this post: 1) The emulators are only rebound, not compression....
They normally include a couple of different jets to suit your configuration. You'll need to contact Marc at Factory Pro directly for a kit.
