Did about a 100 mile afternoon to the Tolt-Macdonald Park after work. Walked down to the "beach" and met Clay, who was there with his family...
Last time I checked WA was "up" from CA. And my crates are not one way tickets... what's getting strapped in to go back "up"?
Cool. How thick is that plate? Coincidentally, the red line on that tach is about right to help a VF500F engine keep surviving.
Valve cover gaskets started leaking. So new gaskets and grommets procured. Checked valve lash, adjusted a couple that were just out. Nothing...
I contacted the seller about his listing error when he had them for 1990 - 93 VFRs. I thought they were pretty reasonably priced too.
It depends on which RC26. All US 86 RC24 are round gauge. RC26 came in two styles in 86, round and the square integrated style. The inner...
It's a thru shaft, either way it wants to go. Just be sure you don't damage the end you are "helping" thru and flare it out, scraping/galling as...
Start soaking with penetrant. Soak often. Apply heat. Get a good drift that is smaller than the shaft and apply some force. Donate to a...
Glad you made some progress hopefully. Your previous descriptions made it sound like ignition cutting out, not running out of fuel sputtering....

Your system is not designed for DOT 5. And DOT 5 is not a great brake fluid either. That being said, do whatever you want, it's your bike. Just...
PURDY!! Very cool. Feels good, huh?
Failing tensioners usually make more noise on the RPM decel after giving a really good rev out and chopping the throttle. The torque wave goes up...
Yes. Once the black chrome is light, you're done in my experience.
I sandblasted and painted a set. Turned out great with really good adhesion and durability. They will polish back up, but it's not great...
Very nice example. Awesome. There really isn't a torque value because you are crushing a gasket. It's a feel thing. Gutenteit. There is a...
Look for a All Balls or Moose Racing rebuild kit for the actual valve.
Mine's an 88 too, so we can share some pain. Man I need to finish that bike. So many projects...
Huh? I haver NEVER had to do that. There is a sequence and a certain move that needs to be done, but loosening the carbs from the plenum is...
