Thanks! My bike is completely stock. I drive 75 miles a day to & from work. With the 14 tooth front sprocket I burned 1.35 gallons in 75 miles....
Man that blows. PM sent.

Hello. I just put a 15 tooth front sprocket on my 85' VF500 & it dropped about 500 rpm at highway speed. I WANT MORE! I found a few 16...
New "sprokets" too! Ya, und zee sprokets ar very goot!
I was wondering about the pig in boots too. Weird.
Thanks! I was very carefull as this was my first V4 teardown. I quadruple checked everything before closing it back up so it should be a little...
My VF500 is back on the road! I had to lean the air screws out to 2.5 turns as it was fogging me out of the garage with exhaust fumes at 1.5...
Cool, thank you. I will just build a manometer myself then. You say I need a 4-channel manometer though?
Thanks for the usefull information (you know who you are) & also the shitty remarks regarding my Harley (you know who YOU are.) I was just making...
Thank you for all the input. I guess I'm going to call the local bike shop & see what they charge to synch my carburators... VERSUS $85...

I just got done adjusting the valves & rebuilding the carbs on my 85' VF500. I put it all back together, fired it up (it runs & sounds PERFECT),...
Hello, I am setting the valves on my 85' VF500 for the first time. It has 21,000 miles & I don't know if the valves have ever been set. All the...
Ok, I will give you the fuel filter. But running without an air filter? Sandblasted slides anybody? Just shoot the guy's pinky toe off then....
Your friend/previous owner didn't run a fuel filter or air filter? Superputz! Next time you see him, put a bullet through the top of his foot...
My 85' 500 Interceptor that I just bought sat for a while & when I started draining stuff in had about 1.5 quarts of muddy water in the fuel...
It's 29 degrees out with 80% humidity. That comes out to a wind chill of 8 degrees at 65 mph. And there's a 30% chance of snow. And I'm going...
Will do, thanks. If that doesn't change it, would changing the clutch pushrod length perhaps work? Buy one on Ebay cheap, shorten it a...
