The "new" tank is in better condition than my original. But when you shake the "new" tank you can hear rust particles inside. Your method sounds...
Good luck!
Thanks BZ.....I will try that stuff right away. Good thing it seems local to Canada too :-D But I am still unsure how I will be able to get all...
So my Original tank has been having problems for a few years now. It's been rusting/leaking around the lower side corners. I had it cleaned and...
Good luck with the Forks. I've been meaning to rebuild (or send out to get rebuilt) a set of spare forks but I don't have the proper tools.
^^ Could be.....though I always use a Torque wrench and the wheel does spin free-er when I loosen the axle nut. (IIRC)
Yes.....infact it may even be on the loose side. Chain and Sprockets are new if that matters. Just installed them. I am using whatever was...
"Binding" doesn't seem like the correct term to describe how it is. I think "tight" would be better. If I spin the wheel by hand it will maybe...

Ouch! ^^ Well everything is on and looking good. Little bit of info for other VF500 owners: 16t front and 41t rear is almost too much for the...
It still boggles my mind that the only thing holding the Sprocket is two tiny bolts and two thin plates.
Yes...it came right out. I started using a drill and it spun the peice of the bolt right out. I got two new bolts and a new locking plate. I'll...
Thanks IC for the illustrations. Woody, thanks for the heads up. It was the wobble that was bothering me. I ordered a new locking plate,...
Thanks! :-)
it looks like the front sprocket doesn't attach to anything but the two plates that go infront of it. 2 Bolts.....2 plates.....that's all I...
Well the shaft has a groove set in it to rotate the tab to line up the bolt holes. Then I just bolt up the sprocket to the 2 tabs I guess. Maybe...
i just read this now and am slightly disturbed. :-/
