That's good to know! I'd read old threads from 15 years ago that the Michelin 150/70 tended to be wide and that seems to match up with the PR3 I...
A day of wins and losses today. The bike needed a new rear tyre since the rebuild but I’ve been putting it off, mainly because I wasn’t happy how...
That makes a lot of sense then, I’m fairly sure I changed the gasket not long after the first few engine runs when I built the bike back up. Set...
More riding this weekend with a good chance to back to back the suspension, can’t wait to get the front end sorted on mine! Not heard back from...
I think you're right, between the 0.80 and 0.85 it's probably a level of optimisation your average rider (me) is going to struggle to detect...
Perfect thanks - nice to hear you got a good improvement! My Dad’s has the emulators too and combined with the rear shock it just all feels much...
Long time no post here - life and other bikes have been in the way but the VF500 is finally ready to get back out this summer. A few updates and a...
Back again with another issue on the '97 VFR750. I think I've got the issue pinned but appreciate a second opinion. The bike was originally...
Got the carbs apart, cleaned up and orings replaced today. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting getting them apart/back together so thanks...
Awesome - much appreciated! Is it easy enough to shape those large o-rings to the float bowl? Seems like the sort of thing that you'll constantly...
Great - thanks! Ah okay - is the only real way trial and error then? Going through parts list doesn't seem to give any sizes. I'll go with the...
That's good the hear! Although I can get the seal kits here it looks significantly cheaper to order individual o-rings as I've seen mentioned...
Sadly it's not the float bowls. With the carbs off the bike running the fuel pump it's definitely leaking from the fuel inlet pipes. I've been...
I've got a 97 VFR750 that has been sat for around 18 months since I last used it but I am intending to put it back on the road for this year. I...
I hadn't thought of decals actually , that definitely seems a simpler way to get good results! Yeah the kits I've seen are the brush type ones...
This is non-V4 related however the combined knowledge on here about paintwork seems to be second to none... hopefully the answers might be useful...
Nice work Jim - looks great!
No problem - it's not hijacking at all, it's all good 500 stuff!! Yeah I'm not too sure on the front fender to be honest - again it came to me...
Hadn't seen this one before... great thread and a very nice bike!!!
Thanks! It is great to finally have the bike out on the road. I bought the wheel swap with a whole bunch of spares from the previous owner of my...
