It's been a while since I've done anything to the bike, but I got back to it today. I adjusted the idle so it sits around 1300, but I'm still have...
You were correct - I took the clutch assembly apart and reassembled it correctly. Finally took it for a ride. It runs decent, but after giving...
Another source saying they should be snug: http://vfrworld.com/forums/showthread.php/28026-clutch-spring-torque-specs Everything looks fine...
I looked at this a little closer. When I back the bolts out of the pressure plate a little, the clutch acts as it should. Aren't they supposed to...
I'm slowly getting this back together. It runs, and I bled the clutch before attempting to ride it. After bleeding the clutch, the clutch lever...
I took it apart and found that all of the gears weren't quite lined up. It seems better now.
The engine is not yet running. I was simply looking for some pointers before pulling the subframe and water pump back off...
I'm in the process of putting the engine back in my '85 VF500F. It is now back in the frame, and I ran it through all of the gears. That seemed...
The picture is deceiving. It's a glob of assembly lube.
Another question regarding timing: the factory service manual shows the index mark before the "T" but the Clymer manual shows it after the "TR"...
I took the cams out and loosened the tensioner again, and I put a new piece of wire all the way through the holes. This allowed me to get the rear...
I have the tensioner in the relaxed position with a pin (allen wrench) through the holes on one side. It doesn't seem to have gained me any slack...
I suspected that was the case, but I couldn't quite figure out how to relax them. I was reading through the FSM, but I just read through the...
This is the first time I've had my '85 VF500F engine apart, and now I'm having trouble installing the camshafts and sprockets. I am using the...
I have started reassembly after replacing my leaking clutch pushrod oil seal, and I have a question on clutch installation. The engine has a 1985...
The proper way to replace the seal is when the engine case is split. You can see in the picture where the case isn't quite aligned near the...
I began grinding the lip away last weekend. I've done everything but the area just to the left of the chain. Does that need to go too? I'm not...
I didn't expect this thread to get revived. Even three years later, the vibration is still present. It is not bad, but noticeable. The bike...
Interesting idea, but I think I'd rather get the old seal out.
I know there are already multiple threads about VF500F clutch pushrod oil seal leaks, but I haven't found any with very many details. I've read...
