    The VF500F is not known for valve lash or can chain tensioner issues. That's not to say it isn't possible though. I'd check the condition of the valve stem tips first. Top end issues on VF500's will almost always be from valve float and damaged valve stems.

    It's Italian, the 'Ciao' kind of gave it away for me. I use the Dictionary.com translate function to read it. It gives you a fairly literal translation but most of the time you can get the idea of what is being said.
