Float valve(s) for 1987 VFR700F2

Are there any other options other than OEM (Read K&L Maybe) for a set of Float valves for this bike??

Honda; as far as I can tell, only sells a complete set-----Part number 16011-MM4-004.

See Tourmax (from England) might be a source but prefer not to wait weeks for them to arrive.

I would Appreciate help / suggestions.


With thanks in advance.

When I did mine it was Honda parts. How many do you need? Is the set you mentioned (4) float valves?

 

Savedrider,

Rebuilding a set of Very NASTY carbs and thus need Four .

Do you happen to have a set available?

Thanks

 

Found some.

Price is certainly right as well.

Several other items at reasonable prices should others have a need.

Thanks for the link, looks to be some good items there for sure! Glad you found what you were looking for. I checked and I do have my original float valves I kept when I went thru the carbs years ago. I think you're better off using new parts, but if you're still in need let me know.

 

You have to be very careful with after market parts for carbs. Here's a little info and another place that may may have what you want. Mike may also have what you want. Go to the main page.

That site has a lot of great information. Thanks for sharing!

 

In practical terms, the needle seats don't wear (rubber vs. brass) and shouldn't need replacement, so buy needles only and save some of $$. K&L Supply sells a set of 4 float needles that work well on the VFR and are inexpensive. Many places sell cheap needles sets on ebay. Sorry i don't have the part any part #s.

I usually don't trust aftermarket, no-name parts, but the K&L-suppled items i've used so far have proved acceptable.

Always best to leak-test carbs b4 mounting them up.
