Ref; 1986 VF500 Hey all, I've been resurrecting this bike from the dead and it's been a fun journey. I finally got it all back together but...
Here's a great product to use to repair your fairing with. I've used this on a couple of different bikes I've had and it really works well. I've...
Anybody know what these holes do (circled in red)? I assume they are probably in the casting and then closed up afterwards? The two outside carbs...
The boots had the correct part number on the bag. My guess is that I may have the wrong clamps. The part number for the 86 clamps is different...
Yeah, Iprobably should have mentioned that. They say "carb sid" on them and there's an arrow that points up. I've got them all properly installed.
Just finished rebuilding my carbs and reinstalled them onto the bike with new boots (re-uesed old clamps). The bike won't start without using...
I think I just figured out how to keep the carbs together and remove the airbox base; I've got the carbs all apart (still attached to the base)...

I just want to verify the hookups on the carbs 1) I believe the vents circled in red are for sync? During normal operation I believe 2 of them...
Ref; 1986 VF500 I'm getting ready to put my engine back into the frame after replacing a damaged exhaust valve. Obviously there's a lot to do but...
This is what I'm up against. any Ideas? I want to try and preserve the labels. http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/ahdoman/FadedConsole.jpg
I assume that technique will not work where you have printing on the plastic? For example on the left and right handlebar controls? I would think...
Thanks Guys. there's the answer I was looking for. Every other engine (bike or car) I've ever worked on specifies to release the tensioner on the...
