I'll add a couple of the 51447-KA4-711 to my next order from a parts house--that would be a great alternative because the standard ones can fail...
Thanks NorcalBoy. Walked all the way to the other side of the bike and confirmed two things that warrant me taking my time. Several of the...
Live and learn, I screwed that up. I'm back in the market for another right fork. If there was somewhere I could go to buy a new set that would...
The first "project" I'm likely to finish on the bike is the front and rear brakes. I took apart the calipers to clean them out and inspect the...
In regards to the forks... ugh. Here is what I'm dealing with. On the original forks, one of the circlips was rusted through and end snapped off....
Howdy everyone. I wanted to start a rebuild thread for my 1984 VF500F after I created an introduction thread....

This is very much off. I'm not positive, but I think around 7000rpm is about 75mph for me. Additionally, mine also really doesn't take off...
It depends. If I'm babying it I can get 45 or so. Recently, however, I've been getting a lot closer to 32-35. The only riding I've done thus...
Then the service manual is lying?! Just read through my manual for the VF500 and it's definitely 20w-50 depending on the climate.
Good luck with it. And for sure you'll have to share some pictures. When I was looking for a VF500 I wanted one because I liked the naked look...
Love it too. Ah, it was at Road Track and Trail (WI) for about... idk, half a year? I saw it once with a buddy when he was looking into a CBR....
That's the same fairing I have on my bike, and I love it. It looks really slick and much better than any of the airtech pieces I've seen. Bought...
