Ah.....IC thinks of everything. But I do have a rear stand. [IMG] The problem with it is that it still compresses the rear shock as the...
Ah! I see now. Clearance between the rotor and the bracket looks tight. (but that's how most designs are) Did you have to remove the Chain...
You're absolutely right Moby. ...and thanks for the Advice. I still need to recruit some people to help me out with the adjustments. This...
Any chance of getting more shots of this area and more around the rear caliper?
How would removing these make a difference? The collar is down by the swing arm. The only thing impeding the Wrench is the box to the right and...
Wow! Way to go IC! That looks really sharp. I love the rear brake. Can't wait to hear how it performs. I miss my center stand :-(
These things (at least in my opinion) are never bright enough.

I was checking the part numbers for the Springs and Valves and the 86 has the same exhaust valves as the VTR250. [IMG] So what is the...

Also.....the stock 1984 VF500F Dyno'd 53hp@11,000rpm & 25.9Tq@10,500rpm at the Rear Wheel. I should have a scanner somewhere. I'll do my best.
Hey Matt....just a heads up: I have an old "Cycle" Magazine from 1984 with a big write up about the VF500F. There's a part in it quoting a...
I've got 60,000kms (38k miles) on my VF500. It never see's anything over 9,000rpms. I rarely give it WOT. I change the oil often. It does...
Agreed with everyone saying that 100k on the first gens is unlikely. Also on a bike this old I wouldn't use Full Synthetic. Someone put Full...
Thanks Jamie. I'll try again. :-)
